> If only the government limited itself to stealing only 10% of our property

By the time you pay income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes and all the otherpeky taxes and fees they throw your way I’d say the figure is nearer to 40 - 50 %

Thanks for that. The more we see happening around us, the clearer it gets that God’s word is the only thing that makes sense.

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

~Abraham Lincoln, Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, January 27, 1838

"is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted."

well he should never have been trusted with it, that's for sure.

What the hell is this gobbledy-gook anyway? who writes his speeches?

I expect some pablum like "trust in the government is the greatest trust of all"

Any Dem who rejects the ifeads of former flaming liberals is a presmptive commie tyrant.

Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used, and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible”

Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D) Minn.
“Know Your Lawmakers” Guns (magazine), February, 1960, p. 4.

He’s right that it’s not lurking right around the corner. It’s here now. It’s like one of those Chinese finger traps: the more you pull, the tighter it gets. Fight him, and you’re on his list. Once that trap gets set up you are finished.

A man who tells you there is no tyranny to fear is a man who wants to be a tyrant.

Bo has always and will always target our kids.....he basically was saying to them ‘ignore your parents and family members’...only the government can be trusted.

Same with his wife...she goes straight for the jugular with kids...and openly admits... “it’s all about our kids and the future generation”.

Bet they wouldn’t like it if we started shoving our positions down their kids throats...and told their kids to ignore them.

To Obama “work” means creation of boondoggle government jobs where low skills and low effort get rewarded or “investment” in dollar-sucking, sure-to-fail green jobs.Shovel-ready just hasn’t been too ready.
