Politics Thread. [United States]

And I would strongly DISAGREE with some of your statements. People are short minded. With that I agree. The people have forgotten how this country came to be. They have forgotten the pride of a hard days work. They have forgotten that NO ONE will take care of them but themselves. The statist has pushed a progressive agenda (read: Socialism) onto our people. And now many have an entitlement mentality. They start with the young. The kids grow up THINKING the government owes them a home, a job, healthcare, retirement. But in reality, YOU make all things happen for you!
How many people in the cities will be able to survive if this thing really falls apart?
How many know how to clean a fish, gut and skin an animal, milk a cow, or even plant a garden full of vegetables?
How many know how to make sure they have a clean water source?
Or even start a fire?
I know I only know how to do half of what I listed. I know I’d have to gather friends and family to WORK my arse off to rebuild. And I am ready to do it, if need be.
The point being, come hell or high water, I WILL find a way to protect my family. No matter what. And they have been taught to afford that same protection to all around us as well.
The police will not always be there. The military will do there best. But the reality is that every man must protect his own.
Where did that self reliance go?QUOTE]

i am able to do all of that stuff you listed my family is very self reliant
i help skin deer every year cut up and stuff sausage pack our own bullets fix our guns.. my mom grows a huge garden every year and i am able to help her with it.. i fish and clean them cook them made a old can pole couple of years of go still in use.. and my dad can build a house so we got it covered here... only thing i cant do on that list is milk a cow but my buddy has a farm so im gonna learn soon.. im kinda in the city kinda in the country town is 15 min drive and school 2 miles up the road but no neighbors really..

if the system falls apart im ready for it.. if got enough guns saved up so when obama finally takes them away i got enough.. and i agree with most govs. falling apart stop sending money we dont have to other countrys that have never helped us.. nobody give 2 sh*ts about us if lets say china attacks us for debts we cant pay whos gonna be behind us?? nobody.. i think most of us could do fine without a govement i know for sure my town will be fine without them
 
I think that our goverment is crap on a stick like stated before were in such a deep recession that were nearly in a depression so what do we do we send more troops into a war thats never gonna end, we send money to other countrys for natural desasters when i know damn well we wouldnt get crap if anything happened to us, and were sending all our jobs to other countrys because it costs lest money... WHAT about US, the bush administration shot us into a hole and obamas digin us deeper, and like stated above they do not listen to what people want they do what they want, and the percentage of people who are running school boards and government and stuff dont know jack, infact my school board is a wrestling coach a vet a farmer a teacher and another farmer WTF, and i heard in a consperacy mith that the govement created the swine flu to try to control the population and intorduced it in third world countrys knowing it would spread and it dint work so the nasal spray is supposed to be worst then getting the flu, and ever heard of the song evolution by korn o yea its happining DE EVOLUTION of man kind. more l8r i gotta change classes

yea i give obama crdit too but the bush ADMINISTRATION meaning cheany and his people doin sh*t behind bushes back im not putin down any particular person im puttin down the whole goverment, like we say in band if one person sucks ass every one in that group sucks ass and for being 16 i know quite a bit, i have takin alot of political classes and trust me my mom dont have a job and i support the family basically i dont get very much money to my self, and obamas doin good tryin to help out i give him that but if were in such a bad ression why send money elswhere, and the war its pointless saudi arabian terriorist atacked us not iraq and thats another cheany behind bushes back

You Minnesota boys are ready to rock. LOL.
But I think you guys are missing my point. There are tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people who can barely wipe their own noses, let alone fend for themselves. And they want to be promised care from cradle to grave. This has got to be addressed.
The other point being our system is not perfect, but it's the best in the world. We just have to purge the corruption and hold these boneheads accountable. That means we ALL have to wake up, pay attention, and get involved. And that may mean stepping out of your comfort zone and hurting someones feelings or pissing them off.

I included some full stops for Agro.

Consider your surroundings....................
1) People here ride a motorized toy.
a) They likely are not tree huggers.
b) They know global warming is a hoax.
c) Have some extra income to spend on a hobby/passion.
d) Have some sense of adventure.
e) Generally don't like to be screwed with.
 
^^^^^ 100% agreed and we have the mafia on our side so lets take down the goverment!!!!!! a 2stroke and blaster goverment sounds good to me.. we will not stop tell we only see blue clouds!!!
 
Well the people are speaking up in a BIG BIG way.
The seat held by Ted Kennedy for 30 years in the bluest of blue states has just been won by Scott Brown, a Republican.
If that message isn't heard by our Congress hold on, cause the message is just going to keep getting louder.
We want LIBERTY NOT TYRANNY!!!!
 
Awwww..................come on guys. Don't let this one die after what happened yesterday in Massachusetts!
 
First off, I apologize for my absence. I have been overly busy with work. Potentially loosing my job in 60 days but still trying to soldier on and earn my keep.........

As for the topic of discussion, I may be slightly twisted in my thought process but it's my thought process and I enjoy it!

Goverment is a great idea. It's because of goverment that we are where we are right now. The issue with goverment becomes power. The more power you have, the more you want and the harder you will fight to keep it. Look at us, we try to squeeze every last ounce of power from our machines and spend countless hours maintaining that power.

Now, who has the power in goverment? If you think it is the President, I'm afraid you're mistaken. The president is nothing more than a face. He has to be well spoken and charasmatic. Without those qualities, the people won't buy into the idea of goverment. I'm not saying he has no authority but he has far less than you would think.

Let's look at all these polls showing the lack of satisfaction or approval. Very rarely does the poll ask for the approval rating of the entire goverment as a whole. If it does, it still comes back to the President. When satisfaction is down, you change your "face" and approval ratings go up. When they go up, it's easier to push the agenda of the "powers that be".

I could continue to break this down and guide you along a path of conspiracy theories that would make just about anyone second guess what is going on but I won't.

I think Knowpig said it best, it's about taking responsibility and knowing how to provide and protect your loved ones when all is lost. America is no longer the place people come to pursue their dreams but a place to be taken care of. A majority of Americans want someone to buy their food and clothes, pay their bills and raise their children.

So...... People want someone to take care of them and the goverment steps in. This gives the goverment more power. Once their power is great enough they can push their agend on those who oppose it with little reprocussion because the opposition has become the minority.

What it boils down to is taking care of you and yours. Like G.I. Joe said, knowing is half the battle. Know how to find food when the grocery store is empty, know how to hydrate yourself when the faucets no longer work, know how to keep warm when gas/electricty is cut off, know how to maintain your sanity when the T.V. or internet is down and finally, know how work together as a team.

As for Hati, it happens. It isn't about ignoring America but becomeing a global community. Becoming a global community leads to a global goverment and supreme power. The systems put in place are nothing more than a means to control the sheep.......

Last but certainly not least....... This IS a great country! In some countries we could be incarcerated for eternity for expressing these views. Even when jobs are leaving, this is still the land of opportunity for those willing to bust their arse. I'm possibly loosing my job in 60 days and I have no fears I will not be able to be provide for my family.

Life is fun but not without challenges!
