speedbump Posted June 28, 2018 at 03:13 AM Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 at 03:13 AM Note: Williamson County has a three member commission, currently 2 Republican and one Democrat. They have no plans for a vote by themselves on a resolution, they are going straight to a ballot referendum in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedbump Posted June 28, 2018 at 04:59 AM Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 at 04:59 AM "We're in danger of destroying the basic fabrics of a representative democracy by saying we can decide what's constitutional or what isn't," Malone said. "I'm not opposed to this because it's about guns, but because I think it violates the principles of what I think our country is founded on." Note to Mr. Madison County doofus, our country was founded as a Constitutional REPUBLIC, not a 'representative Democracy.' Here's a quick civics test: How many times, total, is the term "democracy" mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution? Answer: ZERO. The man should READ the Constitution before he tries to tell us what's in it and how it affects us. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter Clinger Posted June 28, 2018 at 06:42 PM Share Posted June 28, 2018 at 06:42 PM Yeah, I'm really getting sick of liberals constantly calling our country a "democracy". Not sure why that irks me so much. But they actually believe it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderhead Posted July 4, 2018 at 05:59 PM Share Posted July 4, 2018 at 05:59 PM And to think it used to be known as,"Bloody Williamson County." If you ever get the chance, read the book by that title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A biplane flew over a competing speakeasy east of the village of Crab Orchard and dropped dynamite on a competing gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
