I didn't know this about your country. Thank you for sharing. I live in the U. S. A. where we are having a great battle to uphold our constitution. It hasn't come to fighting with guns, yet, but if the BHO regime has it's way, it will come to that. BHO would like that to happen so that he can declare martial law. That would automatically suspend our constitution for up to 5 years and set BHO up as dictator, if he wanted to do that. I suspect that he would like that.
ReplyDeleteThe BHO regime has done everything in it's power to bring our country to economic ruin and We The People are doing screening in our power to stop that from happening. We are barely holding on here, as we go forward to our presidential election. With rampant voter fraud, it may be impossible to for a conservative win. The DOJ is fighting against any voter ID law that would make it difficult for fraud.
If the BHO regime succeeds, we may not be a free people after this election.
