Thanks, that must be it. I notice that when I 'quote/respond' (as now) the letters come out acceptably large. The problem only happens when I am not quoting someone.

How does one increase the font?
I'm sorry, I thought you were doing it on purpose. Have you tried CTRL and +?

Don't look for a coup any time soon.

Congress and other armchair politicians are snaggletoothed paper tigers in desperate need of a constant 24 hour a day intravenous stream of viagra.

They don't have the balls do to much of anything except huff and puff and fizzle.

red highlight is mine

Thus far it is only the lefties whom have proven themselves violent. Projection, isolation, demonization: the OP's Alinsky smear tactics reek of desperation.

I take it you haven't studied the civil war, or the whiskey rebellion.

What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them." --Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356

"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." --Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787.

"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [i.e., securing inherent and inalienable rights, with powers derived from the consent of the governed], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:315

"We think experience has proved it safer for the mass of individuals composing the society to reserve to themselves personally the exercise of all rightful powers to which they are competent and to delegate those to which they are not competent to deputies named and removable for unfaithful conduct by themselves immediately." --Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:487

Yeah, this racist remarks coming from the same individual calling others pompous fools..

Almost all violence against the US government has been the LEFT.. William Ayers ring a bell? You guys defended his actions not so long ago... And his was ACTIONS, not just "words"...
Very good post. Very informative.
