Maybe it's not really our government any more?

What other conclusion can be drawn?

Voting will be considered a joke that appeases the credulous - real power will continue to reside with the created oligarchs.

I think we are already there.

I have met folks who travel by private jet from gated community to gated community. They consider everything else Calcutta, to be driven through swiftly in tinted winowed SUVs. They could care less what % of "Calcutta" is literate, or foreign. "How does it affect my bottom line" is their only consideration.

What a slap in the face to the law abiding citizens of America. Our own government aiding and abetting illegal aliens so they can break more of our laws and vote in our elections! Can you say TREASON?

I can, it's TREASON.

Early on we claimed a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It was not an easy task then, either.

Yeah. You're right. I wrote it anyway, just for yuks. Or nostalgia. But we're there.

The thing I keep wondering about is: How will they keep the property? What's to stop the little people from voting to take the property? Guys like Peter Schey are trying to bring socialism through third-world immigration, so what plan is it that the estate dwellers have to prevent Peter from getting that? I'd love to know.

I guess we need leadership to change this mess that our government has created. Short of revolution, we need proud Americans standing up for their inalienable rights. Not aliens.

In many nations the super rich have lived quite well under socialism: they reach a modus viviendi with the dictators, each helps the other to stay in power and retain their wealth. Of course, it doesn't always work out that way.

For now all the Republican elite can see is an endless supply of ever cheaper labor, and all the DemonRats can see is an endless supply of DemonRat voters voting themselves benefits.

We need to at least get as vocal and visible as the cocky and overconfident illegals and their supporters who are so quick to stage a protest every time one dime of their benefits is threatened.

I just watched a little chat-up on TV about security at the Super Bowl. It's an armed camp. They didn't say it, but I'm sure that cameras are searching the crowds and doing matches. Gee, isn't this the predicted Orwellian state?

Isn’t that the truth. The government created this crisis of massive uncontrolled immigration, then it aggravates it further by encouraging illegal aliens to break more laws and we, the American Citizens, are forced to suffer in countless ways as the government creates a police state to control the very chaos it started in the first place when they threw America's doors open to the rest of the world. The government’s actions are circular, totally at odds with itself and completely anti-American and anti-Citizen.

Do you ever get the feeling that we are like laboratory rats in some warped social experiment by some faceless cabal of global élites? The days of freedom in America are numbered.

Do you know-what-the-Matrix-is?

I think most illegal aliens are subdued in personal and public appearance. You see, the problem is not about illegal aliens, per se. It is about our government broken promise to protect us about our borders. Our government has lied to us. It has shifted our tax base into social programs that equate to the destruction of America's promise of individual freedom and liberty.

Buckaroo, this is your imagination speaking. Is this the same America that allows Arabs to be in charge of major defense systems?

Our government does not guard our borders. It bombs the SH!T out of nations that it thinks act contrary to our foreign policy which changes upon a daily basis.

And I think it is HIGH TIME to change the way our government works.

What Arabs are in charge of major defense systems? This I want to know. If Americans entered the fields of engineering and sciences in sufficient numbers there would be no need to recruit foreigners, right? Right now about a third of America's engineers and scientists come from abroad and the Americans are recruiting as we speak. If the Americans cannot/don't want to do the work the alternative is to import foreigners, right? The numbers of foreign-born in these fields willl increase as a large segment of American engineering/scientific talent is heading towards retirement age.

Yes. I would consider the World Trade Tower bombings as acting contrary to our foreign policy, but obviously you think their is flawed reasoning here. How might you change such flawed reasoning?
