Wouldn't it be wonderful if our elected leaders would follow the law

[JerrySharrett]

Interesting, if in fact it is true. But then how would we find out?

It's called the Militia Act of 1903 Jerry, and pertains to the National Guard. There is simply way too much BS being spread for the taking. It's hard to believe there exists human beings that fall for this baloney.

The point here is, is it the law. We are supposed to be a "nation of laws". Our Congress is not even following their sworn Constitutional duties so that alone makes them all, as a body and individuals, guiltyof lying and treason.

Very good Jerry. Now how do we get The president, congress and the senate to follow the laws.
They are above the Law. Take a look at the exclusions that they have.
The last time i checked the regular people were outnumbered. Most of Congress and the Senate are Lawyers.

They are not above the law. True, they are taking liberties outside the laws but that does not give them a free ride.....unless We The People allow it to happen.

True again, most are lawyers and know how to manipulate the written word, but then again, we have the 2nd Amendment.

Not really. Much of what I see on internet forums is "baloney" and there is no shortage of takers. The "baloney" peddlers believe that they have no responsibility to check for accuracy, especially if what they post meshes with their preconceived beliefs. "Facts" based on nonsense get recycled endlessly. Pathetic but true (I checked for accuracy).

Wait...isn't it "balogna???"

I know a few people that are members of both the National Guard and the VFW (that were never in the actual Army,Navy,Air Force or Marines, but did more than one tour in the sandbox) that would be surprised to read that.

And so you goGeorge Soros' SNOPES. What a marvelous site that is for accuracy and authenticity.

You say Bologna, I say.....

Baloney and baloney are entirely different. Depends on the context.

"Pass the baloney" would mean "pass the bologna" at a candlelight dinner unless it was a tongue in cheek remark following an embellished story someone just told. If bologna was on the table, and such a story was told, it would be difficult to discern unless "pass the baloney" was spoken along with a telltale gesture such as nodding toward the serving platter or rolling the eyes upward. In either case, if it were important to understand the context in this situation, you would simply pass the bologna and observe the reaction. Sure, you would appear simplistic if mistaken, but you would only do this if it were important to understand. Sitting next to the boloney plate would make it even more difficult if you missed the gesture and there would be no choice but chalk up another hit in the simplistic column.

I figured out a long time ago that the only worthwhile sites on the internet were the ones that supported my opinion.

Wilbur, I don't get it!! Could you please explain that again??

I think I understand the candle light part but somewhere after that you lost me.

(In school I failed the Amy Vanderbelt class because of my sloppy manners!)

Likely, a complete surprise to everyone that either of us would know who Amy Vanderbilt is/was.

Right, she wrote a newspaper advice column ("Dear Amy") for many years.

Wait...maybe that was "Dear Abby?"

Amy, Abby--no real difference between them. Both probably anti-gun.
