This scheming over our fresh water by unscrupulous "Americans" who would surrender sovereignty over America to the nations of the world (UN) should have been a wake up call long ago.
Our immorality has caused our inability to recognize truth – even when truth is easily seen, comprehended, and staring us in the face.
Long past time to roll back the millstone.

Disagree. Inertia caused by the stress of simply running in place and fatalism.
Problem is there are no leaders. If someone or some group could break the iron grip of the media and the electoral process which involves massive amounts of campaign money, maybe a leader could wake the middle.
The existing third parties run in the Presidential mostly which is limiting. Plus, their messages are a confused hash of special interests and silly platforms. Have to start at the bottom in local races.
Organization, a resounding message, strategy, and money could turn things around, but I don't see that happening. Besides, I don't know anyone who doesn't have a few skeletons rattling around that would be splashed all over by the bought-and-paid-for press before the message could get out.
The democrats and republicans have a vested interest in making sure no one else is heard. ~And they have all the power.
I just wish the voting democrats would wake up and stop defending the indefensible.
Dang.
Just dang.
It's at this point in the editorial where I part ways with the ideology. In my opinion, Christian standards are acceptable and highly preferable as long those standards are kept to the overall themes found in just the New Testament. The moment one starts flirting too heavily with the standards found in the Pentateuch, you've lost me. You lose me because those standards, when imposed, I believe run in stark contrast to the Good News that we've been given more recently. Many of the people that I run across and debate -- the ones who focus more on the Pentateuch -- seem to have forgotten much of the larger themes of the Good News and do not practice much tolerance for the free will that God has granted us.
The next thing about that sentence is this notion that we're a slave to so-called corporatism. It's complete bunk! Corporations are empowered because they have made decisions to serve their market in such a way that they've attracted and maintained consumers; consumers with free will. We, as consumers, choose to do business with corporations voluntarily. The same goes for those who work for and provide their labor inputs to the corporation so that it can do business. The only coercion that exists is to the extent that workers allow themselves to run out of options, making it hard for them to escape without experiencing temporary pain, and giving the corporation the leverage.
Americans are complacent because they have it so easy. Never before in history can one be so wealthy with so little effort. Elections aren't all that interesting to most unless the directly affect them.
A third of the population is politically aware and motivated to make changes. Another third is apathetic and takes the 'what does politics have to do with me?' stand. The final third is made up of morons!
I thought this this thread might interest you. Well, at least to the point that you'd want to offer a reply to it.
Did the article say something about helicopters? Where?
No need to be coy, Roy! You know, the ones that are encircling your neighborhood as we're communicating, here, on-line.
Yes, your's, hedgetrimmer!
Some how I'd be more willing to believe Nancy's sincerity about not liking money if she weren't so hot for raising my import taxes. Like, if money is really so bad then why does she need mine?
Well, lots of freepers talk like that. What nifty Nancy has over our gang is that when she says "debt and debtors is moral corruption", she means that she really wants to outlaw interest. I swear I'm not making this up.
This group she's pitching is not only coordinating with the Birchers, but they've gone further by tying in with a interest-outlawing group called People for Perfect Economy. This means that any of our filthy money we got left over after paying our import tax hikes we got to loan to the lovely Levant interest free.
No, there aren't any here. Why did you mention them in the first place?
Boy what a bunch of info free mumbo jumbo. Almost like they used a random phrase generator. Useful content...zero.
