So now your advocating assaulting politicians? Where does your depravity end!!!?!@

Just fething with you.

I just find some of the arguments here in the OT Forum to be quite...interesting given the eclectic amount of perspectives here.

You know, someday we may have a president that actually commits treason and it'll be difficult to do anything because this crap gets thrown around so lightly.

The boy who cried treason.

We've had high ranking politicians commit treason before.

The famous case of Aaron Burr, presented here:

Mind you, a former Vice President he is.

I don't get it. Is that meant to be a jab of some sort? Because if that's the case, I feel I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that that's not how our political system functions. Also, Great Britain isn't a nation. You may be thinking of the UK, perhaps?

Oh, I was harkening back to the good ole' days when Great Britain was our great and magnanimous ruler (prior to 1801, mind you before the Emerald Isle was sutured onto the empire. I could however say England because the American colonies were under the crown even before 1707 before the Acts of Union). We didn't have to worry about governing ourselves, levy taxes, or worry about our defense. Great Britian did all of that fore us.

The point was was that there is all this bickering and hatred for US politicians and what they do/do not do. I merely suggest a better alternative which is let someone else manage America then.

Why not our former overlords?

I get the impression that you're mad that some American politicians are stupid, and that we've noticed it. There's really no need to get embarrassed and lash out.

It's okay, plenty of British politicians are also stupid.
