Yor are absolutely right. Yes our Lord did say that, we here in this country are being sold out, those selling us out, are very aware or what they are doing. Those that cann't see this are very deluded. My guess, for some people, it may be age, they don't know how it was 30-40 years ago and the school system has been successfully used as indoctrnation centers for the children into socialism.

I think you're right. Our opponent, D'Anconia55 stated he was in his mid 30's. Well, I'll be 37 tomorrow so I think he and I are around the same age, maybe I have a year or to on him at best. I guess growing up and living in Pittsburgh and seeing what happened to steel and industry opened up my eyes. Capitalism and money are not bad things at all, the free market is good for things like "who makes the best car, TV, radio, and so on." I think where some get confused is that they believe it is the end all, be all for everything and it is not. It is like a double edged sword, it can come back and hit you. as we are seeing with the decline of jobs, outsourcing to other countries, and so forth which is endangering to national security and well being. Some people don't see that and won't. Hopefully they will come around one day, but I'm glad there is a lot of us who see what is truly happening.

If the bottom ever falls out, in a way, a depression can be a good thing, it would bring people back to their roots and what is important. One thing that worries me though is the mentality is not like it was in the 1930's, would people be humbled or just "go anarchy" and/or be drawn into more government programs? Also when you add into the mix where a lot of our industry has disappeared, how can you have a recovery with no plants? So again, we have a double edge sword so we must do what we can to avoid this.

I think what's sad is that this kind of thinking still persists in America. Apparently we are failing miserably in teaching anything but Keynsean economics. I pray that one day Americans wake up and see the light. The free market, free flowing capital and the power of the individual over the state is the only thing that will save this country and humanity.
