Somebody told US something over forty years ago:
Obviously, we didn’t listen.
Every politician, every bureaucrat, every government employee, every corporate manager....they are all enemies and vile scumbags. ( freepers excluded of course)
President Ronald Reagan- Government is the problem.
It’s pretty simple: People are inherently sinful and self-centered. Giving them power over others is therefore dangerous, but necessary to the orderly functioning of a country. The only solution therefore is to strictly limit the power of those in government and install numerous safeguards by balancing the power (cravenness) of one branch against another. How brilliant was it for our founders to have realized this and tempered it as much as possible by directing the self-interest of one group against that of another?
That system works so long as most, if not all of those in government are believers in God, self-restrained as much as possible through their adherence to God’s moral code. The other structural restraints are still needed, though, as even the best believer is still in a sinful state. But once the general quality of the people declines to such a point that most of those in government are nothing more than unbelieving, hedonistic pagans, there is no longer any system that can restrain their evil. And it’s even worse with today’s “progressives” who are not only personally corrupt, but who see themselves as on a common mission to corrupt everything good and decent about America. Because of that common evil purpose, trying to pit them against each other doesn’t work. They just collude on every level to realize their horrific vision.
It isn’t their world to destroy and was not given to them.

True, but they bought the world and now they are gutting it of anything they don’t already own in order to rebuild some global McMansion utopian fantasy. Or dystopian fantasy, from our POV.
Whenever someone expresses “shock and surprise” at their rights being taken away, it now sounds like “blind and naive”.
“Every politician, every bureaucrat, every government employee, every corporate manager....they are all enemies and vile scumbags.”...WOW
Is there anybody who isn’t a scumbag according to your list...???
“…government is so intent on scaring them out of the business that a teenage boy in a tractor, taking part in a protest to defend ancient rights and traditions, was fired on by police.”
If these guys don’t figure out soon that they have to reverse the thing…then they are dead.
I think this is another reason to believe the last presidential election was a fraud. The Marxist couldn’t stand by and let Trump continue to dismantle all their hard work.
Booked.
Yes, and add this about Reagan and Sharansky:
“Sharansky was in prison when he heard that President Ronald Reagan had called the Soviet Union the “Evil Empire.” The year was 1983. Reagan had uttered the famous — and controversial — words in a speech to the National Association of Evangelicals. “It was one of the most important, freedom-affirming declarations, and we all instantly knew it,” Sharansky said in a 2004 interview. “For us, that was the moment that really marked the end for them, and the beginning for us. The lie had been exposed and could never, ever be untold now. This was the end of Lenin’s ‘Great October Bolshevik Revolution’ and the beginning of a new revolution, a freedom revolution — Reagan’s Revolution.”
How does being born in America make me financially indebted to this country?
When did I consciously contract to pay for government services?
Do I get to choose, like in democratic elections, which services I fund and don’t fund
- like endless wars, endless welfare, abortions, sex change surgeries, common core taught in schools, lgbtq taught in schools, global warming taught in schools, critical race theory taught in schools, Wuhan bio weapon development, etc.?
Please consider how the federal government uses ADMIRALTY LAW to legally enslave us at birth explained in the following video:

Yes, I understand. I am in your boat 100%.
They are going to bring it all down. One way or another.
Excellent read, thanks.
self-ping
That is why, as stated by John Adams? our form of government, a constitutional republic, can only endure if it’s citizens are a moral and God-fearing people. It is wholly unsuited and adequate for any other.
What makes it so hard for me to "realize - not accept, I damn sure don't accept anything about it" is the fact that those evil bastards are going after the toddlers....
Thanks for your reply, and that Utube URL. Have to watch it later.
