FLAHR in, the name of a gold coin first made in Florence in the 1200's. The name comes from the Latin word for flower. The florin bore the imprint of a lily on one side, and the figure of Saint John the Baptist on the other side. The first English florin was issued as a six-shilling gold coin in the reign of Edward III (1327-1377). A Silver English florin worth two shillings was first coined in 1849.

A powerful Democratic senator, pointing the finger at cable news for a politically toxic climate in Washington, unleashed a stunning tirade in which he expressed his desire to see the Federal Communication Commission shut down Fox News and MSNBC.
"There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to Fox and MSNBC, OUT. OFF. END. GOODBYE."
West Virginia Senator Jay Rock e feller, don't know that Cable ain't regulated by the FCC.
BUT, It don't matter with these Kooks; they are tired of losing; and the American People are too dumb to know what politics is all about, and what this (POST) Constitutional Government is all about.

"I like socialists. They're all great people."
WHAT will come out of these Gated Community Castle Dwellers mouths next?
And they are worried about The Peoples' Right to Free Speech?
It serves always to distract the public councils and feeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution in those entrusted with its administration to confine themselves with in their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all departments in one and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism.
If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed."
