Revisionists tried to downplay the concentration camps in Germany as well....

Like Reagan and the Repub hawks did when they squashed the "Prevention of Genocide Act" in the house after Saddam left thousands of death Kurdish civillians in Halabja?

No mass graves to dig up just alot of dead women and children lying in the streets for all to see.

Genocide for profit is good for some it seems.

Weak card to play unless you have a very selective memory.

That's exactly what your getting...just because the Republicans *claim* to be "conservatives" does not make it so.

Look past the rhetoric and you find 'liberal lite'.

Where are the spending cuts, why has government size continued to grow under a Republican pResident, House, and Senate?

Where's the "conservatism" at?

My comment in regards to 'being served' means I don't feel they are "serving" the majority of Americans.

There's obviously a majority of Americans who agree with the "conservative" rhetoric coming out of the Republican party...too bad they don't practice what they preach isn't it?

The Fourth Branch of Government
is the People

What they didn't tell you in school

In school you were taught that the Government has three branches, the Legislative branch, the Executive branch, and the Judicial branch.

The Legislative branch is the Congress and they make the laws.

The Executive branch is the President, who runs the daily business of government.

The Judicial branch is the Courts who interpret the law and determine of laws are constitutional. These are the three branches of government you were taught in the government-controlled schools.

 But there is a fourth branch of government, and that's the People.

 Some would argue that the People are not a branch of the Government.

They would argue that we have a government that is of the People, by the People, and for the People. They would argue that through voting that the Government represents the People and that the Government is the People. In theory, and in an ideal world, this would be true. And for the most part it is true.

But there are time when the Government does not represent the People and that the interests of the Government are not the interests of the People.

There are times when the People have to assert their will directly and overrule the Government and assert the supremacy of the will of the People over the will of the Government.

Sounds exactly like the crap the McVeigh and Nichols and the freemen militia always trot out.  Libertarian tripe!

The Government Exists for the Sole Purpose of Serving the People, not Ruling the People  

The supremacy of the People is preserved throughout all the documents and papers used in the formation of the Government by the People.

The preamble to the United States Constitution states, "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Clearly the Constitution was created to form a government who's sole purpose was to serve the People and for no other purpose.

 Ya know weazel when you post like this I agree with you.  You've pretty much summed up my thoughts on our current congress....
