Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

They won't admit HPV vaccines did it but I researched lots of BOYS have this happen. They told him he would be very socially irresponsible not to get vaccinated & that he could ruin a girl for life and he should never have sex w/o protection Blah blah.you have your own mind, your mother no longer controls you etc..

I have seen so many examples of this, it is very concerning. I hardly go to the doctors anymore because it feels more like you are reporting to the medical authorities. I could not believe last fall when I finally went in after not seeing a doctor for 3 years how the atmosphere had changed so. They made me fill out a whole page of sex and gender questions, it felt very intrusive and just wrong. Then when I got into the room, I was interrogated about my life-style and any potential bad habits. By the time I left, I wondered if I might be in some kind of trouble... I have a good friend who had something happen to her back to where she was almost paralyzed, she went to the ER and they treated her like a drug-seeker, and she does not take any of that stuff. They did not help her and they didn't even try to figure out what was wrong because they were too focused on the idea that she was wanting opiates, and she probably could have used some. She also rejected a vaccine for her son and got yelled at. It is just like that now. It's a very unpleasant experience to go to the doctors now. It's really bad when kids are subjected to all this open sexuality, making them even wonder if they are abnormal because they are a normal boy or girl. That had to have been upsetting, I would have been really unhappy if that had been my child. It is like they are not even human anynore, they are obviously not allowed to think for themselves any longer. American medicine is at a real low point right now. Peepaws |
