It's comforting to think that it's all the media's fault. But that's a delusion.

The majority of Americans' attitude is like this: "gimme gimme gimme" and they don't want to work or to be productive for America. We are falling into the Euro's style.

Do you think our founding fathers would be pleased to see something like what we are doing today? We are way outside of the US Constitutional's scope.

Our entitlements and DoD is taxing the America out of their pockets. We gotta to downsize our Gov't or we will never see our America's flag flagging again.

This gentleman (like it or not) represents the voices of many in our country. He is not alone ... conflict could very well break out.

First among the tax payers insisting that the taxes they pay be portioned out to their individual concerns and then as they grow in numbers ... ???

Can't you guess the rest

Not that I should be labeled among them, but the unrest in this country is growing.

Listen with a practiced ear to what seems drebble, but in reality is a voice urging others to join them.

I'm not against you Glock30Eric, but I can not chose a side of rebellion.

If the people with money (and I'm talking a lot of money here) can't win enough votes then who can?

The thing about the internet is that it tends to amplify fringe views. Real life is a different matter altogether.

Charming. Before continuing on this tangent, I suggest taking a closer look at the map.

That is why I said the 17th amendment have sealed the America's future. The major cities all over the country took the helm of the America's direction. Imagine when a farmer decides to refuse to sell their crops to the cities because they are taxing them for their corruption practice? It happened back in the civil war. It seems that we have failed the history lessons or we were propaganda'd by the left.

A puzzle is a problem or enigma that tests the ingenuity of the solver. In a basic puzzle, one is intended to put together pieces in a logical way in order to come up with the desired solution. Puzzles are often contrived as a form of entertainment, but they can also stem from serious mathematical or logistical problems — in such cases, their successful resolution can be a significant contribution to mathematical research.

Solutions to puzzles may require recognizing patterns and creating a particular order. People with a high inductive reasoning aptitude may be better at solving these puzzles than others. Puzzles based on the process of inquiry and discovery to complete may be solved faster by those with good deduction skills.

The first jigsaw puzzle was created around 1760, when John Spilsbury, a British engraver and mapmaker, mounted a map on a sheet of wood that he then sawed around each individual country. Spilsbury used the product to aid in teaching geography. After catching on with the wider public, this remained the primary use of jigsaw puzzles until about 1820.

By the early 20th century, magazines and newspapers found that they could increase their daily subscriptions by publishing puzzle contests. Puzzles may also include letters, numbers, shapes, and riddles.

In real life mice do things in the dark and multiply ...

You have to listen to them to find out where they are coming from ...

Peace is their foe and anger is a spirit within their movement ...

without adding those three little letters of course that some people eat for breakfast

Right, it is because many of Americans doesn't understand how the politic process could have the impact on them. So they are careless with the current politic climate in the America (only less than 30% of Americans voted). You just need to wait until the laws hit them really bad and then they will start scream and might create a blowback against the laws. (good example with 18th and 21st amendment)

Right now, the Obamacare and tax increase are hitting them slowly. Many doctors are quitting with their practices because of the high cost to run the business. Patients will see the impact sometime in a year. The recent sequester, a possible Gov't shut down on March 28, and a potential new anti-gun law/assault weapon ban law might drive them to fight against their representatives.

Where is the "REPUBLIC" in our current Gov't? It is basically nothing. The representatives are representing for themselves. That is not the republic as we have known.

Thanks to both of you for helping to prove my point.
