The whole "Democratic process" is a complete farce. Today's quotes are demonstrative of this. Voting is a complete waste of time as it makes no difference in the big picture. Whether you vote red or blue...the joke is on you...

"There is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocking, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it." ~ Woodrow Wilson in 1913. They control through the isssuance of currency....Audit the Fed!

They need to conceal their identities and their activities because they are acting in a manner treasonous to mankind itself. If I were a Doctor I would prescribe a tall tree and a short rope.

Cal, actually the Rothschild's (nee: Bauer's) fled Munich with a stolen fortune and escaped to London from where they began their dynasty of corruption. - http://hubpages.com/hub/Mayer_Amschel_Bauer - there are a few sites explaining the circumstances.

That's what a "Stimulus Package" is...a swindle.

Yes Mike, the foremost of which being the Rothschilds. Who "owns" the Fed?

The National Debt is part of an artificial system designed to keep you in perpetual servitude. People need to stop and ask themselves, to whom is this debt owed? It is entirely contrived.

Right Jim...can't forget the Tea Party folks. Keep up the good work.

Oddly, my first thought went to Janet Napolitano's campaign and her list of "right wing extremists". Veterans returning from overseas, NRA members, Ron Paul accolites, Minuteman organizations...you know "Real American Patriots". I wonder what label they'll get next....Dissidents? Subversives?

I'm having trouble being disinterested. My very way of life is at stake...and that interests me greatly.

Waffler is right again. A simplistic approach does not work. If you want to confuse and control people you must make everything as complicated and convoluted as you possibly can. God forbid everyday people might figure out they are being robbed blind.

jim k, lets not get feeling too smug here, (you and me) the present administration in power is so completely UnAmerican...its starting to look like dictatorship out of a third world country. There's work to do at home if we are to preserve the Republic.

Waffler, the right to your own opinion is inherent to Libertarian thinking. So whether or not I agree with you, I must, by my own principles, grant you the right to be wrong. ;-)

Mike, that makes sense for sure. When we are inundated from a very young age, with ideas coming at us from every angle and in every regard that we need to comply "for the good of all" to everything the government tells us to, we are being brain washed. And its actually a very easy thing to do what with people being basically good of heart and wanting to help others. The underlying evil though is that we assume the people doing the brain washing are benevolent and want to protect us. They don't, they want to control and exploit us...with our our own cooperation and willing compliance. The scheme does not work unless we "want" to comply.

So, its not ok to sit and do nothing knowing that future generations will suffer? Gotta Love Samuel Adams.

The British at that time had just been evicted form the newly formed US for their tyrannical ways. The British now, live in a socialized police state with few if any natural rights. No matter what Adams had in mind, it's best if Americans ignore British methods as being completely "UnAmerican" and therefore irrelevant to our way of life.

I would have to assume he meant that the Confederacy was using the Constitution as its foundation. And that if the Northern Union were to actually adopt it there would be an automatic association implied. But its difficult to pinpoint the mind set of the man who worked tirlessly to bring in central banking - the seed of tyranny under which we live today.

"Waffler" Eisenhower was a war monger and authority comes from the end of a gun. btw...what color is the sky on your planet?

Waff, again you miss the point (big surprise). Children automatically understand natural law. The state spends your money and takes 12 years to twist their thinking into something more compliant to their overt interests. And judging by yourself, it can be devastatingly effective ;-)

Waffler your position is so full of holes you should be thankful it isn't a boat. Not only is it wrong...it's "wrong headed". It's not even worth addressing

That's a fact. I was asked to speak at a Libertarian convention here in Canada. My opening remark drew applause - "We're all Libertarians until we are 5, then it takes twelve years of state funded education to beat it out of us" And once they've done that to us, very few seem to realize we've been programmed. Have a good one.

Archer, would it be fair to say that voters may be voting because they suffer from "Stockholm Syndrome"? ;-)

jim k....absolutely on target.

Waffler... authoritarianism, communism, national socialism....are all truths. Does that make them right, noble, ethical or moral? No. I consider advocating authoritarianism a bad thing.

Good Lord Waff, you still think the civil war was about slavery? Spooner nails the true nature of power hungry government here. And it has evolved into the Leviathan we know today. Complete with secret police, financial tracking and surveillance...none of that says "free country" to me.
