Who cares ? This is freaking awesome and is wall paper worthy!
You sir, have brightened my day!
Long time, no “see” BTW!!
The first, from the founding of the country, was the ownership of land. The belief that you can own your own land leads to the belief that one controls their own destiny. The "American Dream" was always that of owning one's own home, maybe starting one's own business, but what lay behind it all was independence, and the ability to provide for oneself and one's family. This just isn't acceptable for those who believe that the government should actually run the lives of "the people," because, frankly, "the people" are too dumb to make good decisions on their own. And the people who make bad decisions will elect politicians who will rescue from their own bad decisions. So they've been working hard to both destroy the ability of people to own their own homes, punish those who have worked hard and made good decisions while rewarding those who have made bad decisions out of "fairness." Destroying property values for people whose biggest investment was their homes by encouraging home ownership by people who would never be able to actually pay for the homes, bringing about a rash of foreclosures. And by forcing people out of their homes, they gain additional fodder for their plans. Just needing to collect as many needy, dependent people as possible.
The second was America's love of the automobile. The idea that you could own your own transportation allowed people to move away from large metropolis environments while still being able to shop and work in the metropolis. And a car gives one additional freedom, being able to "get up and go" at will. Again, this level of freedom just isn't acceptable to those who feel the need to rule the lives of others.
It seems that about every 2 generations, leftists decide that they know best how to force people to live, and come up with these government utopian "projects." Within a single generation, those projects fall into disrepair, become crime infested, and destroy the local economy.
Then over the next generation, they declare the previous attempt didn't work and have to knock it down, and over the lifetime of that generation, people forget the promises made by the previous genius leftists.
Then they propose a whole new set of projects to run the lives of the next generation (after having destroyed the lives of the previous 2 generations.)

Another good book is “Behind the Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21” by Rosa Koire. She’s been fighting in Santa Rosa & also has a really interesting tale to tell.
Thanks, FRiend!

I hate the government and I hate democrats
That’s what I like to hear!
Back in the day, this used to be called blockbusting. Then it was groups. Now it is governemnet. The result is always the same. High crime, extreme poverty, drugs, and distemper.
Perfect examples of the way it ends would be Detroit and Flint, Michigan.
And that’s where we’re headed. But don’t you worry, it’s in the name of the people. /sarc.
Great essay and thread, my friend. Thank you.
And thank you for the kind words as always, FRiend!
On a grand scale, FRiend. On a grand scale.
How many times has this been tried? How many times has it worked? So let’s try again and this time will be different. Yeah, sure.
And the definition of insanity is......
If anyone wants to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics.
