"Fair play and democracy shall have supremacy in America." ---- democracy might have worked when everyone (citizens) was an American
now we have too many people in the USA who are not and do not desire to be Americans "In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all." - TR On Nov 2, 8:24 pm, NoEinstein <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Bruce Majors: Under my New Constitution, you need not fear bills > that will give government control of 1/6th of the US economy. > Congress is disempowered from raising taxes!
