Wait until those college kids have to get jobs and have to pay taxes. Barry just saddled them with the largest debt in the history of the world. They will turn, I am afraid, to the other extreme and will tell the "dependent class" (us older folks) to stick our entitlements and fend for ourselves. No one (who is sane) will consent to be enslaved by another generation.

please go read up how tim mcveigh made the device and such. it was impossible to make such a device without goverment help. I also noticed that major legislation came out from slick willy right after it happened. so i dont put it past the feds who probably in fact helped tim mcveigh make the bomb in the 1st place.

Have you read some of the posts; they already are. I'm not "old" but the ageism expressed in this forum is really quite disturbing.

They'd feel right at home....for those states are known for religious fundamentalism, homophobia, and racism..
But you making a sweeping generalization against the millions of people in 4 states isn't prejudging anything, right?

PS We don't all ride horses to work and wear cowboy hats, either.
Maybe you should get out more.

New England has fantastic scenery; I really don't recall anyone fawning over the dust of Nevada...

WI's moniker is the "Progressive State"...please...
The problem is that there are rural factions in all of these states, outside Milwaukee and Chicago for example, that may be prove difficult to even retain this tiny portion of property.

Nasty crap actually.

My daughter's boyfriend is a Texan and we were suprised to learn that he owned no guns! So we took him out and my girl showed him how to shoot handguns, rifles and shotguns. He loved it. I knew that every Texan had it in them.

I like the above map. It would get rid of alot of the loonies. However, New Mexico is liberal central and should go to Mexico.

I was right all along. California IS like a bowl of granola. What ain't fruits & nuts is flakes.

How is California doing by the way? Guess that ATM finally ran out.

I thought there was a middle-east tie to all that (with Nichols & McVeigh) along with FBI informants and that the FBI knew about the bomb-threat in advance. That is supposedly why the FBI had vacated their office that morning in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and none of thier personel were injured. As for the bomb making...wasn't that Nichol's work?

from what I understand, the only office to already have been evacuated was the batf office. makes for some very strange circumstances. the batf knew, they did not want their own agents to get wacked.
