Property qualifications and poll taxes to vote would sit well with today's GOP.

Good, Israeli dual citizens in America who promote genocide and perpetual war in the Middle East can move to Tel Aviv, Haifa, or Eilat to eventually join notorious American traitor Jonathan Pollard or human trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, a failed Mossad sayan and repulsive blackmailer.

In LA you can open a restaurant in your apartment, not pay any taxes or get visits by the health inspectors.

No one that owns land or pays taxes, can get away with that much, just ask Danforth

Well, I'm certainly living rent-free in your head. No taxes on that from my end!

That's not the worst of it.

And the view is myopic.

@#10 ... And the view is myopic. ...

The use of the word "view" in that context implies some manner of thought.

I remain to be convinced of the latter ...

What's crazy is that they believe that the federal government should declare the U.S. a Christian nation and base laws on a specific biblical worldview.

If you don't understand how crazy that really is then you are a crazy person too. But then again we already knew that about you.
