      XPost: or.politics, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.guns       XPost: dfw.politics, houston.politics       From: truecatholicstaff@truecarpentry.org              The US gov has not done any penance for their sins       And refuse to obey the US Constitution especially democrats.       There is no longer a Congress, or a Senate. All of them, are       disobeying the US Constitution in hundreds of places.              They believe, its better to be a crooked politician, than       a politician that obeys all the Laws of the Constitution.       The Constitution, is not, some peice of shit you stupid young generation       that can be broken, and everything be just fine. You do not obey it,       You can kiss your home good bye America.       and that, is a promise from God,       not some stupid crooked politican'              So who are you going to vote for... Nope, you have alot of       sinners who have not repented. And they claim to be truthful.       Of course, they would not know truth if it bit them in the ass.       We will not pay them, they are not our true Goverment any more,       and therefore, deserve to be fired, So be it. They have had plenty of       time to be of the law, they refuse. So guess what USA, we have       to refuse them, And what I say, is fuk you FBI CIA, Why is Obama and       Biden not in Jail for murder1 to the people. Why are they all not in       Jail. Article 2 section 4, Article 2 section 1. What kind       of FBI are you. Wait, your all communists right. expect to get shot.        Whoever does it, will yes, be a saint.                     On 9/25/2024 8:31 AM, Mittens Romney wrote:       > Baxter wrote:       >> https://image.caglecartoons       >       > The reality of CmmmieLa:       >       > You knew their Marxist agenda was not going to stop with drug prices,       >       > Hell no, they want to control ALL our food too!       >       > Next stop on the clown car - Venezuela, USA:       >       > https://x.com/RobertMSterling/status/1824840348008391127       >       > @RobertMSterling       > People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food       > inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the       > end of America.       >       > I worked in M&A in the food industry.
