Amen. AMEN!
I love visiting the past. I...YES! Amen. AMEN! <br /><br />I love visiting the past. I don't want to live there though. The people who want to turn back the clock are usually either cluefree or part of a small minority demographic for whom the past did not suck.<br /><br />And "Take Back Our Country" gives me hives.Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03939381204186890096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225491699553262434.post-81985502183232918822011-08-21T08:25:01.473-04:002011-08-21T08:25:01.473-04:00This is one of the BEST posts I've read in a l...This is one of the BEST posts I've read in a long time. I love your observations. I'm sitting here wondering how your post could get a wider audience? This deserves publication in something that reaches a national audience.

Headline noted that Ron Paul took 45% of the vote, out of a field of 14 candidates. Mitt Romney came in a not very close second, with 10% of the vote. Only later on did it note that the total number of votes cast was a whopping 302.<br />This time of year, stuff like this makes national news...Meldon J.

No primary in those days, no political parties either when George Washington was voted in as our first president. I also remember paying a poll tax when I first moved to New Hampshire in 1984, although it was disguised under some other name.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225491699553262434.post-45666765515166167252011-08-20T22:29:43.802-04:002011-08-20T22:29:43.802-04:00Amen!
