If you want to argue that people are gullible fools who are easily herded you'll get no argument from me but since the sheep were given the vote, there is no arguing that they did not in fact vote FDR into the office. Unwritten rules are not rules.

There is no massive conspiracy to control people, they do it to themselves.

Good analogy! It just goes to show that you don't need to be a rocket scientist to make obscene amounts of money like Oprah did. Too bad for our country so many people think otherwise about Oprah.

So, how do I get my North American Union driver's license?
Why get a driver's license at all? Driver's licenses are for public servants. If you don't work for the government you shouldn't have to have one. Many who have researched the law have turned their driver's license and registration back in and established their sovereignty with the state. They also have figured out how the laws don't require anyone pay property tax. The only reason they do is that people presume they must when in fact they don't have to.

And not full of chocolate, or peanut butter either.>>>>>>>>

If you are referring to Republicans and Democrats I think you mean two of the SAME flavors of candy only with different color wrappers. Or how about saying the two parties are like two different flavors of Vanilla? They are both practically the same.

"The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during a term of four years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same term, [i][b]Be Elected.
- US Constitution, Art II, Sec. I. There is no provision for the President to suspend elections.

I believe you are wrong...Ronald Reagan was the most popular as evidenced by his landslide election victory in 1984.

Most people I knew at the time FDR was President were disgusted with him. As young as I was at the time, I understood that most folks knew he had prolonged the depression (I was born during the depression) and only the war efforts/manufacturing snapped this country out of FDR's Great Depression.

As I recall, it was ONLY the Union members who thought he was the "cat's meow." But those same Union members didn't have a clue about economics, US Constitution or anything but their day-to-day, go-to-work, do their jobs and strike whenever the Union leadership (usually Mafia types) told them to strike.

And more than a half a century later not a freaking thing has changed.
