Impedance of the American Constitution

Don't bring up 1814 and the burning of the White House. That just might call for an invasion of Canada. That will certainly detract from the Mueller inquiry.

BTW, The part of Canada I live in used to be part of Manifest Destiny's 54-40 or bust mandate. I would have become an illegal immigrant in USA.

Wasn't the burning of the White House and Congress in retaliation for the USA's invasion of Canada and the burning of some Canadian provincial town ?

Just got me thinking, when was the first immigrant int what is now the USA, declared "illegal" ?

The War of 1812 was a real paradox. Both sides claim the other side started it. Both sides claim they won it. Go figure!

Had the British put another 50 soldiers on a certain battlefield, much of Michigan and Wisconsin would be in Canada.

Well the USA invaded British territory and were repulsed.

The British invaded the USA and burned down parts of the capital city - note the British didn't burn down Washington DC - just public buildings (and a newspaper that had printed unfavorable stories about the British commander).

No foreign army has ever burned down London.

By "Krauts" I assume you mean the Germans.


And last time I checked, there was no significant US contingent in the London Fire Brigades of 1940-41.


The USA had to be attacked before it got off its ass and did something to help the world.

no. the u.s. gov, allows things like this to happen from time to time. 1 its good for the economy. 2 gives the government an opportunity to expand. 3 causes a distraction from whats really going on. 4 the people will further trust the gov and see the necessity of it , while gov. takes more of the peoples rights. and creates a new list of heroes for the common people to worship. 5 the citizens will honor and respect the gov and its officials while being stripped of freedoms.

Sssshhh...don't say that too loud.

Some rabid Republicans think the USA is not a democracy - but instead a republic.


There was a joke going round during the 80's that having been late for the last two world wars, Reagan's foreign policy was designed to ensure that the USA would be bang on time for WWIII.

most of the time in the u.s. when laws are stupid and complicated. they arent enforced. they only apply when someone is arrested , or when the powers want to put pressure on someone. if you want **** you can get it. a thousand laws for a particular issue just makes sure the people in power stay in power. we know about these people.

whats more ironic to me is that some Americans today actually think they are free. we live in a police state. there has never been a time in the history of the colonies when there has been a greater need for the people to organize against the government than today. I am not talking about the trump administration, i mean the federal and state governments.

I do not disagree with your statement regarding the U.S., however freedom within the UK and Europe have also become "Police States", point of fact, total gun control and more CCTV's per capita than America.
