Prediction

[lhprop1]

I just used the years, I could have used 11-06-2012
But I figure you are free as you are going to ever be when you start shooting at Govt officials.for a short time in April the highest earthly authority they had to answer to was their Captain.

Wasn't it November 10, 1775? 

I assume you're referring to Tun Tavern, right?

No, April 18th 1775 The fight at Lexington and Concord.
With in days they had begun the siege of Boston and organized into larger units then were formed into the Continental Army with an official chain of command that ran from the Private in the field up to the Continental Congress.
But for a few glorious hours between the 18th and 20th they answered to their local Commander and God.

Hi;

     To further   RESPEN33 's  comment.   Yes FDR had 4 elections and died just into his 4th term.  There was a World War going on and the attitude was "don't change horses in the middle of the creek" , so FDR stayed.    When he died and the country did the usual mourning - it was the Democrats that got the amendment so that future presidents only had 2 terms.

     basically, the Dems loved and backed FDR -   BUT   they also were not sad to see him go.... The same will be with Barry.

     There are some Dems that go with the party line but are now nervous with the 2014 elections coming up. If/When they loose - they can thank Barry for it.

Totally agree.  Our country was born the day The People decided to act upon it, with no turning back.  But didn't it take place at sunrise on April 19th?

My only excuse is that I'm one of those people who would rather be an hour early than a minute late.

Thanks guys. I haven't studied my Revolutionary War history in awhile. Glad for the refresher. It's getting to be full on winter here, so I guess it's time to watch the History Channel series again.

I'm not as concerned with Omoron stepping aside as I am who will be shoved up our behinds to choose from on the side of the Party of Compromise. Every month we wait without having put in the framework to run a real deal, honest to God patriot at the States level, we lose the hope of at least a token of resistance..
I'm sorry, but try as we may, Allen West/Rand Paul will not be the nominees. The best we could hope for at this point would be a kool-aid poisoned Rubio..
Third Party candidates may never win, but it's the only honest choice we're gonna have..
If Omoron offers to stay, we'll be in a shooting war anyway, if we aren't already at that point..

I'm leery of Rubio, but based on what I have heard so far I could support him if he got the nomination.

The way the GOP is picking candidates, I would put my money on Boehner.
