Reading your article, Chuck, I was reminded of the following quote, incorrectly attributed to the 19th century French political philosopher and historian Alexis de Tocqueville. But true, nevertheless. "I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbours and her ample rivers - and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce - and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution - and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." A good lesson for both the UK and the US. As Solomon said in Proverbs 14:34, "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people."

Thanks, Chuck Norris. Your 'Bad Congressional Bills' reminds me of all the 'bad bills, lies, deceit and greed' created by politicians who think they're royalty and above the law. Everytime I think of the Social Security, that belonged to the hard-working people for their retirement days, politicians bankruped by "taking and giving" it to the illegitimates and the sorry slobs that don't work, lie on their behinds, have more illegitimates, by every Tom, Dick, and Harry, and Taxpayers still 'ARE MADE' to support them even while they're in prisons. Which reminds Taxpayers, Tent City is where these crooked politicians belong for what they done to ruin America - this 'TENT CITY AND GITMO LAW' should be the newest and best law for politicians to be put where they belong! At no time have Taxpayers, that have a job at present, heard the words “We, the politicians, in order to pay off trillions we borrowed without Taxpayers consent, are going to reduce our salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly! I'm quoting John Adams - “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt.” America is now an enslaved nation with trillions of dollars in debt and all because of deceit and greed. Surely, you remember history and the Dictator that said “We'll destroy America and never lift a finger!” Redistributing the wealth has been tried for decades. Didn't work then, won't work now! ‘Fair Tax', to include property taxes, must take place! It's time to stop ‘Discrimating against Taxpayers!' For decades, politicians, their exorbitant spending, greed, deceit, and bad judgement, has banktupted social security! SSI won't be fixed as long as it's given to illegitimates and others who don't work! If you can call social security a retirement account, it belonged only to retired, hard-working people. Tent city or Guantanamo comes to mind when Taxpayers think of politicians and their disregard for the hard-working person! Isn't it time to send these ‘fat cat politicians/criminals' away so they'll know what it's like to grow their own food, work to eat and have nothing left over! America doesn't need anything else controlled by a radical and socialist government, let alone National Healthcare! It looks like folks need to go back to ‘pay as you go' for doctors and hospitals, cutting theft and hype. Trillions would be saved by Taxpayers for their own families! While I'm on a roll, Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for Viagra, Cialis, new ‘intense' for women, gastro surgery, and illegitmates, let alone TV ads! Common sense has gone ‘bye-bye!'

Thanks, Chuck Norris, for Your "Bad Congressional Laws,etc." The following article sums up what politicians have done to Social Security, thus taking it away from the hard-working people who put it there for their 'retirement'! Some 'retirement' in comparison to politicians 'freebies and hide-a-way' bank accounts, right? At no time have Taxpayers, that have a job at present, heard the words “We, the politicians, in order to pay off trillions we borrowed without Taxpayers consent, are going to reduce our salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 yearly!
