Once upon a time, there were a group of individuals who formed a group (a "corporation", if you will!) dedicated to protecting the ideas of freedom and liberty, as embodied by a document that provided for the limitation of the powers of government. Those individuals swore to support and defend that document against all enemies, foreign and domestic, bearing true faith and allegiance to the same.

Today, that corporation celebrated its 238th anniversary. To all those who have honored that oath, and served under that banner bearing the Eagle, the Globe, and the Anchor, I wish you all a very happy birthday...despite the grim status of the ideas to which we've sworn our lives to defend.

Why is this on my internet spaceship forums?

baltec1 - no, this has nothing to do with the election of the current leader of the country for which these stated individuals served.

As always, liberty is best defended by hyper-bureaucratized and mindless gronks taught to kill for laughably simple understandings encapsulated in programmed keywords.

Aww, Varius - we are a BIT more selective in choosing whom we kill.

However, it can be said that we certainly adhere to the adage that "some folks just need killin'"!

I had it a bit easier than that - Irish nurses helped me ring in my B-Day with a lot of cake and boose as an MSG in Baghdad in 1987

Once called an experiment in Democracy.

Unfortunately after 2000 it has just been called a failed experiment in democracy.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

USMC isn't protecting me from shite, don't be so stupid.
Why do you even assume I'm American? If I was don't you think I would be an idiot too?

That's all I got to say, **** internet politics.
