How times have changed....
« on: October 06, 2011, 10:37:32 PM »
"Coinage Act of 1792 - SEC. 19 -  And be it further enacted, That if any of the gold or silver coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint shall be debased or made worse as to the proportion of fine gold or fine silver therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same ought to be pursuant to the directions of this act, through the default or with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed at the said mint, for the purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise with a fraudulent intent, and if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall at any time be committed to their charge for the purpose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offences, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall suffer death."

The American politicians back in the 1700's had more guts and integrity than these Weiners we have today.

When they had disagreements they took it to an open field, counted off paces, turned and fired.  (Come on Reid, man up!)


Those were the days when gold was gold, men were men,  every woman knew how to cook, and the Constitution was followed to the letter.
