I've ridden horses to the tops of a few mountains...never felt freer, or more out of reach of the "***king Politicians"

Never underestimate the power of small, loud, well organized groups. Like the Greens...the Republicans...the Democrats..and of course municipal councils and condo associations. Anytime a group gets together to organize "you", you're being oppressed.

Group rights is an oxymoron. If rights do not pertain to each individual, they simply aren't rights at all. And you don't have to be a good lawyer to get on the Supreme Court...just loyal to the DC Cult.

Democratically elected tyrannies are all the more pathetic as they make a mockery of the system they portend to be and fools of us all.

We are now given the choice of "voting" for Democratic Communists or Republican Communists...not much of a choice is it?

The western government have adopted communism wholesale. Which of these are missing from our society?
"1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc."
-- The 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto.

America borrowed 10b from "Communist China" to give to Pakistan...a military dictatorship. So much for principles or integrity. And adfvocating more taxation of any kind, let alone of other nations is communist, arrogant and just plain supremist. So much for morals of any kind. The point of the quote would be that the whole thing is ludicrous...and it is!

I've met people like that and none were politicians.

Here in Canada, the government feels that it is able to promote art in all forms. Just another level on which the governmrnt has its head up its ass. Artistic creation is indeed a product of individuality. Strive for non conformity.

Sports, Reality shows and shock news...Prozac for the masses.

Anarchy is the opposite of hierarchy. The word has been terribly bastardized by those who would have you believe that Anarchy is Chaos.

Main Entry: slave Pronunciation: \slāv\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English sclave, from Anglo-French or Medieval Latin; Anglo-French esclave, from Medieval Latin sclavus, from Sclavus Slavic; from the frequent enslavement of Slavs in central Europe during the early Middle Ages Date: 14th century 1 : a person held in servitude as the chattel of another 2 : one that is completely subservient to a dominating influence

And if men were actually informed their sentiments might be a little less bloodthirsty. If they knew the real motivations for war...they might not fight them.

And to destroy privacy is to destroy liberty.

"Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." -- Hermann Goerring

Occasionally I'll tune into CNN or Fox just to see what they're NOT telling us today.

The government never gave any one, any thing, it didn't STEAL from some one else.

Character is one of the ingredients that has been missing for decades now. Right along with intelligence, morals, ethics and nobility.

Lee is right on.

Yes, yes and yes to all three... When the government sends me any kind of a check I use it to pay taxes. It seems to keep the clowns busy and the circus running right along.

Right On. The man knows of what he speaks. And "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell should be required High School reading.

Its good to note that some of the usually anti freedom bloggers seem to be seeing some sense in a return to Liberty. And its interesting to note that we have a note from England that seems to believe "morality can be legislated". How incredibly sad. And it explains why the English have so willingly accepted life as the only (so far) English speaking Police State. Please don't let it happen here.

Morality is the product of a good upbringing and a normal sense of conscience. Almost everyine naturally has it...until the school system gets a hold of them anyway.

Hmmm, maybe what it means is that without government intervention we'd all just do the right thing. Most of us would anyway. As for the rest? How about an actual system of justice instead of what we have now? Its the Socialists / Globalists who want us to think we're all basically bad so they can justify "control". Its Hogwash!

This is how the Global Warming bandwagon became so full...
