Our Government is Worse Than Anthrax

You are a known disruptor here you little bootlicker, now get back in line with your fellow sheople.

Our government operates UN-Constitutionally which in my book makes it a terrorist organization and an enemy to the people of this Country.

"I hate them all."

No doubt here.

Oh yeah. Suppose that dedicated person wanted the income tax eliminated, or at least reduced to a reasonable level - say no rates over 10%. Suppose he wanted participation in Social Security made voluntary. Suppose he wanted to see the massive infringements on the "right of the people to keep and bear arms" rolled back. Do you think any amount of dedication would get him anywhere with that? Or with any other goal whose achievement would result in less revenue or less power for the government?

If your group cannot get 51% support for some of these issues, well, that's just the facts of life. You have to make one heck of a case to cut rates to 10% because we all know we can't get something for nothing. Hey, I'll listen to the argument, and if I can still get roads, and defense and the things we need as a society for less, God Bless Ya'!

But don't be so sure you've got better answers than 200 years of development by our elected representatives. Don't be so sure you have evil people in high places trying to screw things up. These issues aren't solved as easily as one might think.

[Ol' Sparky]

This guy sounds like Louis Farrakhan, a left-wing peacenik or a Christian Identity/Aryan Nation kooks. At a time when 90% of the country has come together -- justifiably -- in an effort to protect our nation from a legitimate threat, it's disgusting to see someone so bitter. If one hates the country that much, than get out.

"Known disruptor" is the best you can do? Is that like a "known commie"? Classic coming from you…

Known to who? Disrupting who?

You are the one disrupting and are unwelcome here. You even spend a dime supporting this place?

"Disruptors" don't last long here. I've been here far longer than you.

[JRadcliffe]

"While I have No DOUBT that poor decisions are sometimes made in property and custody issues. But for you to believe that there is a SYSTEMATIC and PERVASIVE campaign to unfairly take property and children away from the citizens of this country is just plain ignorance."

Really? Ever heard of the drug war? Even heard of warrentless searches and seizures? When you can square what our "beloved" omnipotent state does, with the US Constitution, then we'll talk. Other than that, your head is just buried in the sand.

Move along people. There's nothing to see here!

This is the greatest nation on earth. No improvements needed. Anyone who dares say anything bad about the US should leave -- or be shot -- or be put in prison -- or... (Sarcasm)

Geez, these blind "patriots" need to LEAVE THIS COUNTRY. They are the real traitors!

Our government operates UN-Constitutionally which in my book makes it a terrorist organization and an enemy to the people of this Country.

No offense, but you need to look at the possibility that you are way out there with this stuff. Your mindset no longer allows you to see things as they really are.

[Ol' Sparky]

Anyone that hates our government and country more than terrorists that threaten millions with potential nuclear or chemical weapons is a fool. Once again, libertarians are proving to be free-market liberals. From legalizing drugs to failing to support the nation's right to defend itself. It's digusting.

[DB]

I've been promoted to "known disruptor" now... How about you? ;-)

[Ol' Sparky]

If you don't like or can't rally around the country, move to Afghanistan. It does have the one thing that most libertarians really want -- the legalization and distribution of drugs. The free market flow of heroin has to give Afghanistan the advantage to a libertarian over the US.

[bond7]

You know, it's really easy to be critical of the country. It's a sitting duck. It has to be large and unwieldly and all that stuff. But you are overboard here. You must tell me - what in God's name is it that you want to do today that you cannot do?

What is eating you up today about this country? What makes you so angry? I really have a hard time understanding why you are not grateful for what we have. If you got the changes you wanted, what significant difference would it make in your everyday life? I just don't get it.

[JRadcliffe]

"Anyone that hates our government and country more than terrorists that threaten millions with potential nuclear or chemical weapons is a fool."

The terrorist wouldn't be targeting the US if it were not for the policies of its government. To fix a problem, you MUST go to its source. The terrorists are just a symptom of failed policies of the socialists and communists busy-bodies in the US Government.

Now that the US Government has created this problem, they are using it as an EXCUSE to FURTHER destroy the Bill of Rights! That's a FACT.

[Nonstatist]

..until North Korea starts terror bombing Americans (the Korean War was some time ago - I mean recent violence), that can be seen as a lower priority.

Youve got to be kidding me. N.Korea is a terror State with many weapons of mass destruction. Just yesterday Bush warned them aginst making any incursions, given our current "distractions"

We've got 30,000 troops there! We're on the front line, if NK and China decide to play games.

So where are the cautionary articles? And where is Raimondo and the rest of the "Lew" crowd? Hundreds of articles on Israel and the Mideast (even before 911), and virtually nothing on the rest of the World, except for the occasional re-stating of "general principles" . Give us a break; most of us can see right through these "Jew Haters".

[JRadcliffe]

"If you don't like or can't rally around the country, move to Afghanistan. If you don't like or can't rally around the country, move to Afghanistan."

Screw you ass hole! You move to Afghanistan.

Typical UNPATRIOTIC, REDNECK, ILLITERATE RESPONSE!

This here's 'merica boy. If'n yew don't like it, then git out.

[freefly]

"I still fear my own government far more than I fear Osama bin Laden, his al-Qaida network,
and whatever foreign governments may have aided and abetted his terrorist plots."

My government is far more dangerous and far more likely to cause me harm than a bunch of terrorists.
I can defend myself against a terrorist.
Defending myself against the government is normally -at best- a quick way to poverty.
At worst, it is a quick way to death or jail.
Keeping the fed on a VERY short leash is the only real way to protect ourselves from it.
That's exactly how our government is supposed to be organized.
Those restrictions are what the fed specializes in working it's way around.

[Ol' Sparky]

No, the people that can't support a war of self-defense and have to bitch about our government when facing terrorists that want to destroy us that should LEAVE the country. It's amazing. You're not better than the bitter anti-Americna, left-wing losers that hate the country and do nothing but gripe.
