Re: Paying taxes doesn’t allow Atheists, nor any g roup , to dictate to others.

Dear MJ: Political parties aren't mentioned in the original
Constitution. The main objective of the latter is to have the people
to be equally in control of government. I've explained the rationale
quite clearly. What you state is freedom of association. Apart from
that, when any group having any ideology interjects itself between the
people and the government that they are supposed to control, that is
an entirely different form of government than the sought, but never
realized, Representative Republic the Founding Fathers had in mind.
Look at the EFFECTS not just the associations, and you will realize
that having dominate group power is NOT why the USA was formed! — J.

The statesman becomes, in the last analysis, a mere witch-hunter, a glorified smeller and snooper, eternally chanting Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum! It has been so in the United States since the earliest days. The whole history of the country has been a history of melodramatic pursuits of horrendous monsters, most of them imaginary: the red-coats, the Hessians, the monocrats, again the red-coats, the Bank, the Catholics, Simon Legree, the Slave Power, Jeff Davis, Mormonism, Wall Street, the rum demon, John Bull, the hell hounds of plutocracy, the trusts, General Weyler, Pancho Villa, German spies, hyphenates, the Kaiser, Bolshevism. The list might be lengthened indefinitely; a complete chronicle of the Republic could be written in terms of it, and without omitting a single important episode." -- H.L.
