Do you even know what lame duck means?

For one thing, it doesn't mean "powerful politician who can run roughshod over election requirements and put himself into power regardless." Lame duck means a politician who is lacking in power, who is reaching the end of his term, who is ineffective, who doesn't have "political capital", who can safely be ignored or overruled. It's lame duck, not robustly-walking duck!

Using "lame duck" to imply a politician who has the power to remain in office no matter what has to be one of the most bizarre things I've read on C-D. It's only surpassed by the claim that national elections were canceled during WWII.

but that is just one more crumb from the bread we called the Freedom and the governments obsession with making non Constitutional American Currency.

The Coinage Act of April 2, 1792, Section 10. And be it further enacted, That,

upon the said coins respectively, there shall

be the following devices and legends, namely:

Upon one side of each of the said coins there

shall be an impression emblematic of liberty,

with an inscription of the word Liberty, and

the year of the coinage; and upon the reverse

of each of the gold and silver coins there

shall be the figure or representation of an

eagle, with this inscription, "UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA" and upon the reverse of each of

the copper coins, there shall be an

inscription which shall express the

denomination of the piece, namely, cent or

half cent, as the case may require. (Source - http://www.constitution.org/uslaw/coinage1792.txt)
Does EVERYONE SEE? our currency was not intended to be paper

Add to that FDR thing another Democrats stunt (Woodrow Wilson)
which were the 16th and 17th Amendments which gave power to our American Currency to a private Bank (the Federal Reserve).

Wilson did that while most of the Senate and Congress were home for winter holiday season.

You provided proof, as did she, that he had been re-elected.

See the difference?
No?
Might want to check that prescription.
Gee ya' think? No ... you don't otherwise you would not have tried to insult me with a comment like

NO ... I said what I intended to say

It has nothing to do with anyone's stupidity
and where is your proof that it is a conspiracy and NOT YOUR own stupidity?
You people bash people and look like fools doing it
If you think you know something - PROOF shows that you are not clueless ...

Now the link I showed even though I made a mistake with how I read Kat's post, did show the proof.

I stand by the fact that I did misread Kat's post ... and I have the backbone to admit it.

What the hell are you talking about??

Yes, it was proven that FDR did not cancel the elections. That was absurd allegation. Pure stupidity and insane conspiracy. However, you chose to blame that stupidity on liberals when in fact it was a conservative who made those conspiracy allegations, not a liberal.
