And that is exactly what happens...in a police state.

Government is "definitely" overgrown. In fact its right out of control.

Excellent observation.

Ya I zee. Und vot zen shall be ze "Final Solution"? Und, who vill decide?

Right On Ken. Social Security is the bait you take in order to be robbed blind for the rest of your life...or until you're old enough to starve to death on Social Security. It really is as close as you can get to condemning the elderly to a slow painful death but still say you're "helping them". What a complete crock the whole thing really is.

We have to rid ourselves of "ism's". All of them!

Freedom and responsibility should be not only universal...but universally respected.

Agreed RBE, but I believe we have had "economic fascism" for a long time.

RBE....what capitalism? We've never seen true free market capitalism...just fascism. Or if you like, Corporatism, which can only exist under the guiding hand of a socialist government.

Looking back we can see the stepping stones that have brought America to the deplorable politics and policies of the day...

Fascist Dictator. No wonder the Italian people hung him from a meat hook.

Waffler are you suggesting the human population should be controlled as the deer population is controlled? Sure seems like it. You were born 90 years too late and on the wrong side of the ocean.

Twisted again Waffler. You attended the Hillary Clinton school didn't you? The statement is factual on every level. And the state is all about controlling people to the point of slavery.

Waffler...you cast stones and have no backbone of your own to back it up. You are the embodiment of a well trained statist. The rest of us are opposed to leviathan and its sickening creep into every aspect of our lives...our busy industious lives which are very much hampered by the state you so love. And Washington and Jefferson were advocates of a restrained government....the opposite of what you advocate, so there is no comparison there either. When will you make sense?

This is off topic, but I have to share it. I 1948 cartoon on Freedom in America: http://nationaljuggernaut.blogspot.com/2009/09/this-cartoon-seemed-far-fetched-in-1948.html

The arrogance of anyone who feels they have the right to regulate parenthood is astounding. The cowardice of those who would stand back and allow that sort of regulation is even more astounding.

So we are, as a general rule going to regulate the laws of nature? We are going to protect children from incompetent parents even before they are shown to be incompetent? And we are going to do this through a bureaucracy? The entire notion is absurd in the sense that there has never been anything in history more incompetent than a government bureaucracy. Abusing children is already a crime. Unfortunately the breakdown in the system is our "Law" system. If we had an actual "Justice" system the punishment for those "proven" to be incompetent or abusive parents would be such that all would know the consequences of hurting a child. Now how about basic parental discipline of children? The complete lack thereof has provided us with a society without morals...A society on the verge of collapse.

There are so many laws now that even the Judges don't know half of them. There are so many laws now that we are all technically guilty of something at all times. And that is the goal of a corrupt state, to be able to arrest / detain anyone for any reason at any time. Its all about control, and power over people.

Real peace is the absence of aggression, whether on an international scale or localized within a small area. Real peace requires not merely the absence of large-scale military conflicts, but also the absence of aggression in domestic affairs concerning individual citizens. ~ Ben ONeill. Mises Institute....like surveillance, wire tapping, highway checkpoints, financial surveillance, tax tyranny...and on and on...

I'll comply to that...right after I register all my guns

Thumbs down for the reality of the situation. What many know is that girl babies are being murdered in favor of the "more valuable" boy babies. What this has led to is a population with over two hundred million single young men with no prospect of finding a wife or having a family. The Government there now has a valuable resource...an angry and frustrated army in waiting....

Sadly too many Americans are unaware that the majority of their rights have been moved to the category of priveleges and can be denied at any time by any number of agencies for any number of reasons. So much for Constitutional Government....

"uniformly opposed to America and American values..." Which are? Democracy? Socialism? American values have been lost for a long time...the above posters just want them back.

It all culminating with Obama...so its all relevant to our time...."now". He's the axe man.

Joe, Think in terms of community rather than going it alone. Organize. I personally don't think that American soldiers or policemen will fire on American citizens. Especially if they are firing back. But then again....
