In 1976 I voted for Jimmy Carter. Biggest mistake I’ve ever made and I regret having done so.
When you don’t have sufficient information - because the press is bigoted and biased and isn’t doing its job - making an informed choice is difficult. The Republicans at the time were acting like they had lots to hide. So I made a mistake.
(In those days one had to read a variety of publications to get scant facts. Now I just come to Free Republic.)
After 1976 I researched the candidates running for the two top national positions. That is how I came to know there was a conspiracy behind Barak Hussein Mohammed Obama II as information was literally being scrubbed off the internet as I was reading.
Our political parties are supposed to be honorable. They aren’t any more, and we must be vigilant.
That is why Sen. Ted Cruz, who isn’t going to take any crap off of anyone, is so refreshing.
Thanks pal. Coming from the preeminent mediocrity on the compost heap that’s quite a compliment.
Did you read the article? Government control comes on little “cat feet”.
Denninger used vehicle licensing as an example. Why should driving on public roads our taxes paid for be considered a ‘privalege’?
And Social Security? The government spends that money as soon as it lands in the government’s treasury, but we’ve bought into the idea that it’s ‘ours’ because we’ve earned it. We expect them to pay it back to us later. That is how the government controls us and we stupidly go along with it.
The monster behind most of this if the Federal Reserve, which isn’t part of the Federal government as it is privately owned. They print our money and receive bonds, government debt, in exchange.
How it was established is an example of corrupt government. Bankers and international financiers couldn’t persuade the Republicans in Congress to pass legislation establishing a national bank, so they conspired with the Democrat Party to do so. This happened around the time of WWI. After Democrats made all kinds of promises to constituents that they wouldn’t establish a national bank, they did so when Congress was in recess and Woodrow Wilson signed it. It was called, The Federal Reserve, to hide its private ownership.
Sound familiar? The perversion of our liberties has a long history, old before you and I were ever born.
What I keep reading on Free Republic is everyone expects a savior to come along and bail us out. Wrong!
We must do this ourselves.
This is exactly what the international financiers have been trying to achieve since the time of Lincoln. Divide the U.S.A. makes it easier to conquer.
I don’t call people names, but succession is the stupidest idea of all. It falls right to the plans of Globalists.
I used to be a Democrat too. I voted for Carter. And Mondale and Dukahkis and Clinton, twice. I used to be a drunk too.(23 years sober.) Being a liberal is a lot like being an addict/and or an alcoholic. It’s all emotion over intellect. When one is sober and in the waking world it’s intellect over emotion. Under the influence however the equation is reversed and it becomes emotion over intellect. Liberals are all about emotion. They meant to do well but(fill in the excuse). They’re never about positive results.
So if the South-Mid West were to secede for example, they would be unshackled form the political correctness and would be FREE (that is the key point freedom) to build the most formidable Army and Navy the world has ever seen. They could ACTUALLY patrol its borders and follow the Constitution. So screw the UNION, better to be smaller and free-er that shackled to a region with people that think like you in it.
OMG, I would never admit that in public.
Have you ever heard of Bill Still?
He has put out a DVD called the Money Masters. It explains how European financiers were determined to destroy the U.S. financially because they knew we would become a competitor to Europe’s hegemony. Mind you, this was before 1812.
I suggest you watch the DVD. It can be bought through the internet or watched on youtube.com. Mr.Still does a thorough job or explaining how Globalism originated, and you will understand how the Union is our bulwark against being conquered.
Te seceding nation will have its own monetary system, hopefully gold backed.
PS: We ARE being conquered by 535 nitwits in DC.
Actually, there is.
-- Thomas Paine, the American Crisis, March 5, 1782 "Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment. The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts. For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes. But these considerations, however powerfully they address themselves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those which apply more immediately to your interest. Here every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding and preserving the union of the whole." -- George Washington, Farewell Address"The union of America is the foundation-stone of her independence; the rock on which it is built; and is something so sacred in her constitution, that we ought to watch every word we speak, and every thought we think, that we injure it not, even by mistake."
"The success of the cause, the union of the people, and the means of supporting and securing both, are points which cannot be too much attended to. He who doubts of the former is a desponding coward, and he who wilfully disturbs the latter is a traitor."-- Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, PHILADELPHIA, April 19, 1777
Voting for Jimmy Carter in 1976 might be forgivable if you were young and stupid. If you are a person who was analyzing markets and supposed to be smart, and you are well-read, and you are voting for Obama in 2008, you are not someone whose judgment can be trusted. Everyone here knew he was a Marxist with Islamic sympathies. A true believing, manifesto-thumping Marxist, not a fabian socialist like Bill Clinton. We knew McCain would disappoint us, and it pained us greatly to vote for him. But we also knew, once we looked at Obama and his background, saw who his friends were and the environment he came from, that he wanted to destroy this country and all it stands for. That Denninger couldn’t see that makes his advice forever suspect, even when it is correct on occasion.
You as sick as your secrets Grasshopper. Admitting a mistake is the first step to ensuring you don’t make another one. You freely admit to the world you’re a Confederate. They were Democrats. So what does that make you? Besides an imbecile?
Give it a break crazy man.
I hope you’re standing in front of a mirror when you’re saying old buddy. You are SO easy to spin up dude. There’s a lesson in positive self-discovery in that if you’re smart enough to see it. You might even thank me for it someday *GASP* Have a nice night dude.
