What matters now is a good stock of Guns & Ammo ( magazines )

“We support socialism and an international redistribution of wealth, and taking America down a peg or two.”

Wonder if obozo & the RAT leadership are silent partners in BRIC. Their actions have done much to destructively lead our Republic in this path.

I’ve said for years - One world government, currency and standard of living is the goal of these people. This has been foretold in the Bible and we are seeing it with our own eyes. With a new “crisis”, the Anti-Christ shall lead.

God, Guns and Rock & Roll matter. My family matters. The love in eyes of my bride of 38 wonderful years matters, the future of our children and my grandchildren matter. My lust for the ocean matters.....

Our Constitution and freedoms matter, being left to heck alone matters, fishing and hunting matters, my Harley’s matter (;>)) .... I have a long list of things that matter, but at the moment, the survival of our country is in the group at the top.

To those that fight against us....We are coming, We the People are coming, we are coming for you....

We are in a situation where most people are comfortable with their existence, but the powers-that-be are putting the gears in motion to take away all of our freedoms away in a gravely short period of time.

People in this country forget what it means to fight. We run for a bandage for a paper cut and think that a few sutures means we’ve earned our war wounds (I recently cut off the tip of my thumb; I speak from experience). The men who fought in WWII were real men. Korea, even. Vietnam saw regular use of opiates and cannabis, but I know plenty of Nam vets who deserve a place in history. 6 very close friends have fought in our recent Iraqi wars; 3 of them are dead from a lack of post-war mental health support. They’ve earned their place in the annals of our country’s heroes.

We’re rotting from the inside. Our Constitution is no longer being upheld (think Birth Cert-gate and ACORN), our government is in the tank for polarized political groups, and the world smells fresh blood in the Atlantic with a neutered Canada and a scandal-clad Mexico unable to care for themselves. Surprise, a$$h0les, you’re in bad shape too if we’re out of the picture!

I’m sick over what we’re marching towards. All of the Limbaughs and Becks in this world aren’t going to motivate an America where NASCAR and football are showing right on schedule and Lifetime/WE is consuming the addled minds of the proletariat. The people who want to change things don’t feel they have the numbers or the support.

One thing I heard on the radio the other day was a caller asking why is it that there aren’t more local groups trying to advance conservative agendas? All politics are local, right? The big problem, as I see it, is money.

Here in Florida, Charlie Crist is running against Marco Rubio in the upcoming primaries. Rubio is a staunch conservative. He’s highly intelligent, young, and an excellent voice for America. However, Charlie Crist has hoards of moderate Republicans in his wake along with their money! Name recognition alone can and will vault him to the Senate, but that’s my biggest concern about our country: no one cares about who they’re electing.

C’mon guys, you know you’ve watched the Final 4 or the World Series and not given a rip about either team, but you always rooted for the team that was on the comeback trail. Having a couple of Republicans duke it out is all fun, but Crist has financing and name recognition behind him, and most people aren’t going to read about some of the moderate to progressive things he’s done. As a result, Rubio loses due to lack of name recognition first and through the vein of lack of funds compared to Crist. It’s a no-win: replace Martinez, get Crist instead.

No Joe-the-Plumber (pre-popularity) is going to win against candidates with deep pockets. Thus, our country is relegated to a bunch of lawyers, doctors and academicians to run the infrastructure. Even with the backing of a radio host or a TV analyst, most homegrown candidates would be better off running for county commission or school board.

In the rush for globalization, supported by many of our own, nobody ever stopped to think how it would open the door wide to international control. It was always a rather sick joke to think it would last forever in this manner. Since when has a free trader ever done *anything* demonstrating that they will put American soveriegnty ahead of a short term bump in stock price?

Stripped to essentials, globalization is the use of poverty level 3rd world labor, then bring the product here to charge us full price.

The whole model counts on 3rd worlders never wanting earn more than 9 bucks a day. It really shouldnt surprise anyone that they don’t want to be in this position, or at the mercy of wall street and London Bankers.

I don’t think this BRIC group means anything good for the USA, but i think it was utterly predictable for them to form. Whats their alternative, to happily live as the cheap labor pool for the globalists, and have all the decisions made overseas?

I don’t know if i said that right, but it seems to me that most leaders in the in the world of finance do not view themselves as American. The greatest snow job they’ve ever done, is convincing many conservatives that the *only* purpose of America is to maximize trade and the DOW.

An analogy would be a man who had his wife work as a prostitute in the daytime. Family income would undoubtedly improve. Shoot, if she is hot enough, it might even skyrocket. The costs are not seen on the balance sheet.
He is destroying something intangible, his family. The globalists are this man, America is the family they could care less about. Repubs are just as guilty as dems on this.

Indeed, they said it would be good for us what is bad for America's sovereign respect. It's another way of mentioning the UN or some doctrine in order to avoid having to tell the truth: I don't know and I don't have the balls to know, and I don't care, I got a job. Brainwash and induction to easy outs is the trick and spell we are under.

Hahahaa thank you, i had my flame suit on. My dad and i talk about this a lot when we get together. It really bugs when i see those WTO types protesting, i kinda tink they are right about some stuff, but for ALL WRONG REASONS.

Sometimes I feel like a hexagonal peg, all the holes are round or square. I just don’t fit right anywhere!

It’s the let them eat cake mantra. THey cannot take care of a cat nor build a nice bird house, they thus, when in power blame or reject America since they cannot do it when on the spot, thus they pretend they can take care of the world and everyone. It’s a disaster of pretense of Masonic proportions. We are run by illuminated idiots.

BRIC created by Goldman-Sachs, the creator talks about how they need more say in the world economy.

BTW,,this was kind of funny, someone said B R I C could also be arranged to read “CRIB”!

Welll,,That sure is nice to hear sometimes. It sure seems like i don’t ever hear it from the repubs. Like you, I don’t buy what they are trying to sell. Yet, i know a democrat is an international socialist and trust them even less.

Who in heck represents America?

It’s no coincidence that the BRIC countries are forming their alliance- it’s always been on the globalist agenda for ‘trade blocs’ to form that will put the US out of economic dominance. It’s no coincidence that Obama ‘bailed out’ GM so that they could invest a billion dollars in an automotive manufacturing plant in Brazil, a BRIC country. GM has no problem with BRIC, they see an opportunity for a growth market. It’s no coincidence that GM shed it’s business here, because no one will buy the socialist ‘green’ cars that the government will force them to build— think of the bailout as a payoff to get them started in a new country while Obama takes our economy down.
