127. When we are talking about checks and balances
and one of the three are missing or weakened, and the other is in line with the executive branch--you really don't think a coup could happen? Hmmm, interesting.

And, I'm sure the German people never believed that their democratically elected, parliamentary form of government would be threatened.

And, I remember during the Patriot act vote what happened--anthrax sent to two of our congressmen. I know it was just some nut attempting to show the congressmen what could happen if they didn't pass that bill. Right?
