Seems significant considering the rise in conceal carry permits is up 500 to 700% in some counties and the American public in the last 3 months of 08 bought enough fire power to re arm the Chinese AND Indian armies...there's definately something in the wind...

Spoken like a true authoritarian Waff. At least you're not afraid to show your true color...Red! I'll give you that.

This is the very reason I do not like the word "govern"ment, meaning to rule. I do not need to be "ruled" and neither do you. As J.B. pointed out, I want a safe environment in which to live and pursue my goals. For this the country needs an administration who's duties are limited to maintaining a system of justice, not "laws" for the sake of laws. Protectinf borders from foreign aggression, not Empirical forays into the affairs of other nations. And the operation of a civil police force. not 25 different and mostly secret agencies who's goal is the absolute control and compliance of all. Give me liberty or give me death, and it may not be my own death....

Sadly the "real power" behind government is in the hands of international bankers who bought our system a long time ago. Economic slavery being the goal.

The demise of America will come through the people's ignorance of coinage. The Federal Reserve is not Federal and it has no Reserves. It merely prints up paper out of thin air. It has no real value. "Government is the only agency that can take a useful commodity like paper, slap ink on it, and make it completely worthless." ~ Von Mises ~ Or better yet "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws" ~ Mayer Rothschild ~ Guess who owns the Federal Reserve?

Word for word beautiful...

In this day and age, I'm not so sure it's the "first idea that dawns" so much as the first idea planted by the media. If it's about world events or foreign policy...always follow the money to find the truth. Because 90% of what's in the news is "spin" and half truths.

For a more accurate look at American history and Empire building try "A Century of War" by John Denson. - http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/denson5.html - They don't teach this historically accurate analysis in school, I'll tell you that!

The power of accurate observation might also be called the ability of critical thinking. If you fall into this category, you will be labeled a right wing extremist by the socialist left. And unfortunately that insane bunch are running the show right now But there is a major change coming and it ain't what Herr Obama has in mind.

Canadians need to take a shot at Bill C-6. Mandatory vaccinations and warrantless search and seizure are on the way...so gun confiscation will surely follow. CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER Shawn Buckley on Bill C 6 ... WATCH Part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7_0HlCwb8A

Give him a fish then take away his right to fish...and you have a very controllable dependant. A trained seal so to speak.

The problem with health care and "everything else" in the US is government involvement...period! It isn't capitalist greed Waffler...its fascist manipulation of the market, and a fiat currency issued by unscrupulous and unnaccountable people with permission from the same fascist government. Sadly statists are blind to this truth.

Socialists definately feel that anyone who has more than them needs to be brought down to their level. Because its just "not fair". If they'd get off their knees and do some work they too might appreciate what they've worked for.

Check your moral compass... then go forth? I like it.

So when the colonists of America "thought" they were living under a tyrannical dictatorship that wasn't a crime. But when they acted on it and formed militia's that was a crime...but only in an English court, so it didn't really matter any more.

Cal....100,000 people in Chicago's Lincoln Park all chanting in unison, "Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, (zeig heil, zeig heil)....no, not a lot of thinking going on there.

"The ability to choose"...without coercion and enforced compliance...is the key to freedom. As long as those choices do not involve force or fraud against others.

While I admire Von Mises, this seems to be a contradictory statement.

If we take it that we have a right to life, it follows that we have a right to defend that life, from whatever forces of violence that may present themselves, and from whatever direction.

Waff, from your post I take it that you were against the Cold War. After all "they" have a right to indoctrinate as well right? I agree that they have the right to self determination. Which would negate any US involvement in their affairs...correct? Odd though, how while we were fighting the cold war and going after communists with McCarthyism etc...that somehow communism came right in the back door of the USA. And now we indoctrinate just as they did....exactly alike. Go figure...

Wow! That reminds me of another quote about education: "Association of California School Administrators, quotes about Education-- "Parent choice'' proceeds from the belief that the purpose of education is to provide individual students with an education. In fact, educating the individual is but a means to the true end of education, which is to create a viable social order to which individuals contribute and by which they are sustained. "Family choice'' is, therefore, basically selfish and anti-social in that it focuses on the "wants'' of a single family rather than the "needs'' of society." ~ Association of California School Administrators....Sure sounds like the same thing doesn't it?

And "Federal" laws that allow for roadblocks on public highways that are supposed to be in place to look for aliens and drugs are in fact training exercises for the upright. They're being taught to comply to: "You're papers please" Yep! National Socialism is back and every American should be completely revolted at the prospect.

Hamilton was one of the original traitors to the newly formed US and an arch enemy of Jefferson. Hamilton was the guy who let the Brits back in through the back door when he advocated and laid the ground work for English central banking to regain control of American's and their currency. It could be argued that he was one of the founders of the system that brought us "The Fed". I see no merit in a statement that comes from an obvious fraud artist. He's lying.

Central Banks and the scum that run them are definately NOT in nature.

This is scary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5ZK_oSrNa0&NR=1 ... Google the words FEMA CAMPS. Then ask yourself, why?
