An excellent observation. We're now somewhere between complacency and bondage...unless American Patriots fully wake up to the Globalist threat to our freedom. We can look forward to an existence (under Agenda 21) that would look very much like the feudal society depicted in the Hunger Games.

Our Liberties have been under attack for a very long time now. Through the UN, the CFR, the Bilderberg's, and a host of other NGO's our legal system our eco-system and free enterprise economic system are being laid to waste with Global Government and a vastly (violently?)reduced population as the end goal. But I believe people are beginning to wake up to these realities. Will it be enough to stop the Globalists? Time will tell. Restore the Republic.

Ray, maybe you haven't noticed...it doesn't matter who you vote for, Democracy is a complete and total sham. We elect one expanding dictatorial government after another and wonder where our Liberties are going...
You want Freedom? Abolish the Federal Reserve money lenders...and Restore the Constitutional Republic. Ray there is no guarantee of freedom and liberty under our present "Democracy" The fact that we have no say whatsoever in the making of laws, handed down from on high, should give you a clue what "Democracy" is doing to us.

Well said Mike. the entire process has been subverted and hijacked.

Democracy, like most forms of "government" fails to recognize individual rights. It's Mob Rule in a Cheap Suit.

It seems to me that even though liberty had once been established, the process of putting down tyranny is continuous. The power hungry looters acting under the guise of the Democratic and Republican parties must be eradicated once again in order to re-establish a Republic of Sovereign Individuals in the Spirit of 76.

Waffler, you've been caught out AGAIN ! The US is moving closer to communism, not China closer to Capitalism. The Chinese Rulers are capitalists who enjoy using communism to control (as Archer says) a slave labor force. ALL Communist rulers are a form of Capitalist that is just as evil as are the Crony Capitalists of the west in bed with Government. Real, genuine, pure capitalism has never existed on a broad scale...anywhere!

I've heard that too Mike. I can relate.

A brilliant observation...about the simple things in life. And the Rosenthal's of the world need to lighten up. OBVIOUSLY Tecumseh and any other rational human being will realize that the "views of others" to be respected MUST fall within the bounds of morality and justice. (miserable miserable miserable)

At my age, I have a handful of people I call friends and I'm grateful for them. The rest were eliminated over time because eventually their dishonesty came through. I know who's got my 6. ;-)

If you are willing and able to deal in "truths", research and understand the role played by the Federal Reserve and all central banks. Their collection wings (IRS, CRA, Inland Revenue etc.) and their connection to the Globalist / One World Government agenda. Then decide if you are going to be a free person, or inventory.

Simple and on point. The truth is going to be a shcock to the Obamunistas when it comes home to roost...Not to say the Kenyan's administration is the only one guilty of constant lying...they've all been guilty for a long time.

True then...True now.

We also saw it when W was elected and when the Kenyan was elected twice, then evidence of massive voter fraud surfaced but was buried. The system is broken beyond repair. All we get now is a "show" made up of lies and deceit.

Mann, I have no intention of "firing away" at anything for simply being offended... ever...but I will defend myself and my family from aggression. That includes anything trying to implement any form of physical bondage. And if you would not...you need to develop a sense of morality.

Hanson = Ignorant Bigot...nice. jim k you're probably right. That sort of inane rant has the appearance of alcoholism or drug abuse.

That's right D, I live in Calgary Canada. Along with 59,000 other Americans who live here. I really enjoy it too, almost everyone can actually speak English and it's probably the last major city in North America where everyone is productive and responsible for themselves. And you're living a fool's dream...Obama can prevent nothing. He is a (Globalist) tool and will do as he's told...just like your forefathers...kind of sad really. But you go ahead and sit there watching TV while the nation collapses around you...

I don't know why, but the first thing I thought of was the Second Amendment.

Army veteran...ever stop to ask why we are in the wars we are in? It's called Imperialism and it flies in the face of our founding principles. Think man Think!

Mann, excellent points. Right up until you seem to say Capitalism is flawed. I assert that it is not, but then we would have to try it to really know wouldn't we? All we've seen so far is "Crony Capitalism" which is Big Business in bed with Big Government (right and left). Rand was not advocating crony capitalism...never has.

Wrong Brian. The Nazi's were as fascist as Mussolini's Italy. They took over the local industries and told them what to produce, when to produce and what it would cost. That certainly doesn't represent the interests of big business...it controls it. And certainly the Nazi's were socialists...the simply enforced socialism at the end of a gun. Ayn Rand was absolutely crystal clear and correct in her observations.

Unbelievable...people that I assume are black feel they have a "brother" in the White House?
First of all Obama is a Mulatto...secondly, he doesn't care about you (blacks) or me (whites) one little bit. He sees himeself as one of the elite and you and I are just human garbage to him. So you go ahead and keep voting on "race", after all it's what you've been trained to do...Go ahead and watch the Miami Heat....until the TV shuts off...the banks close, and the grocery stores are empty. Then we'll see what your "brother" has to say.

And that is how Democracy works...which is why we need to restore the Republic in its intended form of individual rights being sacrosanct. Limited Government and sound currency are the only way we can be truly free people.

I question the way Hugo references the word prejudices. We are all "Pre-Judiced" about something, probably many things by the time we are 25. For example if I am suddenly surrounded by a gang of foul mouthed latinos, or blacks, or whites...or whatever, you can be pretty sure I am going to be offended and on the defensive. Why? Because I've had that happen and I am "Pre-Judiced" as to the probable disposition of these little thugs. So no, I don't buy that prejudices are the real robbers, prejudices are usually alarms going off that guide us. "Bigotry and Racism"...well there's another matter altogether....

Public life or Societal norms, should always be a reflection of individual morality. Not collective "ant think".
