Sure, I'll give Caesar his due. But I think he charges too much taxes and targets minority vassal states and I don't think that is fair so I ain't paying his onerous fees above what is just.

I, for one, buyth not this nonsense about some need for viaducts in our state. Needlessly complex and expensive and I will not pay for it.

The Founding Fathers thought the same way. That's why we are allowed to vote on who leads the country and makes those decisions.

It depends on the situation. I know a lot of Conservatives. Some are very hard core and I trust them to do what they are experts in. I have never been let down.

Where I don't trust them is where they start butting their nose into my business and telling me how to run things and how I should live my life. The US Constitution is nothing more than a distraction to these people in that they want what they want and they do not give a fig if anyone agrees with them. There are not two sides to every question; there is their side and that is it. Compromise is considered weakness and not a means to a solution for a problem.

When they start meddling in subjects they clearly have no knowledge of then no, I do not trust them. Anyone can step outside of their field of knowledge but Conservatives do it on a regular basis and then cannot understand why anyone would not think their opinions are not facts.

I understand what you are saying. What I don't agree with is the part where liberals ALSO meddle in our business. I see both parties being in the pandering business. When you pander, you will interfere with personal business. If only liberals can stick to simply being a referee in the game, I'd feel a lot better. In my book, pandering is pandering. I don't care which group, what cause or what justification you give. Meddling is still meddling.

You don't get to vote on who leads the country unless you are an Elector.

I feel like I am getting some taxation without representation sometimes.

Back in the news: Bundy son is likely off to jail for failing drug test during probation.

Son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy arrested in Utah | Reuters

Meanwhile, Cliven is still grazing cattle on the disputed land.

Both sons are scofflaws. They'll end up in prison about the time old Cliven drops dead from too many biscuits and the issue will resolve.

Maybe if he would follow Mrs. O's dietary guidelines he would be healthier longer.
