Happy Birthday America
It's different this time...
Some thoughts (submitted by Chris Moorman),
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
-The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
Happy Birthday America!
238 years old. Quite a respectable age.
You’ve managed to stay upright and breathing through a Civil War which nearly ripped you in half.
You fought on behalf of liberty in two World Wars which enveloped you from across the globe, and even in victory, you magnanimously invited the vanquished back into the global community with open arms.
You’ve welcomed, albeit occasionally with gritted teeth, the “huddled masses” and “wretched refuse” of immigrants unwanted in their native lands and assimilated them into a society which has grown to be the richest the world has ever seen.
You’ve dealt with modernization, urbanization and the mass media.
You faced down the threat of nuclear annihilation and the dehumanizing spectre of Communism largely with soft power instead of the destruction that total war brings.
For the better part of two and a half centuries, you’ve held true to those most sacrosanct of ideals espoused by your Founding Fathers, those mostly enlightened men, “who brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” and in doing so have been a source of hope for freedom loving people everywhere.
This isn’t to say that you’ve been blameless. No institution, no matter how grand its codified ideals (I’m looking at you Catholicism) can stay blameless forever. The stain of slavery, the dehumanization of those we found on this continent prior to European discovery, and the wars of choice fought over the past 60 years have fallen short of your commitment to those high minded ideals in favor of “realpolitik.”
***********
I should quit saying “you.” This isn’t a professional sports team I’ll never play for, this is America. This is the living breathing organism which has from my first breath, blessed me with freedom, safety and mobility to be whomever I choose to be.
I cannot pick those attributes of America with which I agree a la carte, leaving the less desirable remainders for others to choke down. I cannot look at my neighbor and say, “Oh no, this is YOUR President. I didn’t vote for him.”
Men and women who came before me gave their blood, sweat, tears and lives to vouchsafe my ability to make this MY America, one where each voice, no matter its wealth, social status, or color of skin has an equal part to play in maintaining the greatest engine of human freedom and prosperity that the world has ever seen.
Yet spending another 4th of July abroad, I find myself tired.
I am tired of trying to explaining away the past 14 years of leadership so comically unenlightened that our political system has devolved into a shouting match incapable of legislating.
I’m tired of trying to explain to the Europeans and the Vietnamese and everyone else who doesn’t share my passport cover that the policies of my government do not reflect Americans as individuals.
I’m tired of seeing my government encroaching further and further into the lives of its citizenry, of spying on even our allies, and systematically limiting the rights of the individual.
I’m tired of being called a “brainwashed moron” because I believe in the fundamental American right to bear arms, even in the face of yet another mass shooting.
I’m tired of seeing my fellow Americans try to pass themselves off as Canadians to attempt to shirk a history that while imperfect, is still as proud or prouder than any nation the world has ever seen.
For all the chest beating talk of “American Exceptionalism” I hear at home, I am tired of being in a room of foreigners and seen as the idiot because I am not “properly embarrassed” of my country.
I am an American, and God help me if even for a fleeting moment that I deny that enviable truth.
I stand here today embracing the fact that the problems of the nation which has given me so much are inseparable from my own.
************
I look to the members of the so called “Greatest Generation,” who sacrificed lives by the millions against a tyrannical force as twisted and corrupt as any seen in the course of human history, for guidance.
They fought with a single mind against an enemy armed with weapons engineered to make the slaughter of innocents magnitudes more efficient than ever before. They had the same right to vote that I did. They did not shirk from their duty, or try to hide behind their broken political system. They stood and took the mantle of liberty upon their own shoulders and said, “Liberty will prevail, and America will make sure of it.”
What happened to that America? Are we going through some sort of national midlife crisis?
Why is my generation different from that of my grandparents? Has our democratic right to vote been taken away? Has our voice been silenced by statute or dictat? Do we find men with guns at our doors waiting to silence opposition?
No. The answer is much more humiliating.
We’ve merely disengaged. We’ve taken the spoils that our forebears won for us and squandered our inheritance on iPhones and TVs. On houses that would’ve made even the richest in generations past blush with the embarrassment.
We’ve taken “conspicuous consumption,” once a behavior to be avoided at all costs, and made it into a virtue.
We tear apart our politicians at the slightest misspoken word, while giving our hours and eyeballs to such enlightened television as “Teen Mom,” “Honey Boo-Boo,” and the countless shows devoted to the Kardashians, a family known only for the limited virtue of their fame seeking promiscuity.
We’ve taken capitalism, an engine of growth predicated on rewarding the hardest working and most creative among us, and corrupted it into a rigged game of three card monte through cronyism and financialization.
Americans have inherited a system which requires constant maintenance, and we’ve let it go on autopilot for nearly an entire generation. The results have been as bad as history would have predicted.
Our education system, once envied as the best in the world, now languishes along side such countries as Lithuania and the Slovak Republic, and behind those once “vanquished” foes, the Russians.
Our middle class has been systematically gutted, our rural communities left to wither on the vine both economically and socially, and our political class has partitioned themselves away from the people whom they are elected to represent, happy to bicker from their DC perches rather than associate with the lower classes in anything more meaningful than a photo-op.
The America that we live in and the freedoms we enjoy are not ours by divine right. It is, and will continue to be an ever evolving experiment, the results of which are determined daily by the diligent effort of those citizens who continue to maintain it through their individual efforts.
Our efforts determine the America that my children and yours will inherit.
It is the sacred duty of each of us to ensure that that inheritance is worth receiving.
America I haven’t given up on you. Far from it, my travels have merely galvanized my belief in that responsibility George Washington entrusted to Americans 227 years ago.
Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair
Generations of great men and women have both raised and maintained that standard, handing it to their sons and daughters in turn. It is the hallowed responsibility of mine to repair it to its former glory, not let it fall to a state beyond repair.
Happy Birthday America.
Enjoy it.
We’ve got work to do tomorrow.

Welcome International Jew.
Happy July 4th America.
The sad part is, the international jew is a newspaper written by henry ford in the 1920's and 30s warning you muppets. & you didn't listen to him either. Nevertheless, you'll hear the truth, whether your tny brains can handle it or not.
It started long before 12 years ago. Even US involvement in WWII was started on false pretenses. It's only now due to the internet that we are becoming aware of the truth about our history.
It began when the torah was written. Right after the last mass extinction wiped out civilizations, somewhere around 6k years ago, 1st dynasty egypt.
& since you are unassuming as I used to be, the torah is a racist piece of filth, most jews are not arabian, they are european, and yes, the talmud is also a racist book of garbage.
let me guess, the one up vote you keep getting is from yourself
astute, so very
The International Jew is (a) proastute, so very.
It seems as we get father in, i gain more and you gain less. Its bc i have the smart ones and you have the followers.
Awww how cute the scientology troll thinks he is not a follower....awwwww
Dependence Day .gov 2014
So far as I can tell this thread has been nothing but a pile of shit. U S of America became an empire and empires die. Deal with it.
Rip America...merika.
The answer is not that hard to understand.
We accepted the 'exorbitant pivilege' of printing the reserve currency and gave up our industry.
It is almost that simple. The fact that the trillions of excess dollars our government has borrowed are kept in the vaults of central banks and private citizens of the world and not sent back to the USA to cause inflation is the problem. Our government has been able to fight wars, make outrageous promises at home and abroad and have not had to raise taxes to do these things. This has meant deficits that don't matter and spending that never has to be repaid. It has kept the citizens quiet as they never are faced with the ordinary consequences (hyperinflation) of such overspending.
Robert Triffin saw this would happen and told congress in 1960. Decisions were made. We would err on the side of overspending. For 70 years we have had a monetary system that has lacked the normal balancing mechanism to keep American spending in check.
It is all falling apart now. Instead of gradually paying our bills over the years we must now face the collapse of not just the dollar but of the entire global system built on the dollar. Everyone who works for a central bank or a government's trerasury knows this. It is the secret that must not be spoken. It is the fact that must be handled in every way possible to delay and hide and hold off as long as is possible.
One day the dollar will be worthless. It could come in a flash or it could be a Weimar like event over years. In the end it will get back to some semblance of normal but between here and there is pain and fear and perhaps much worse. Even though many see what must come the people will never be told to prepare because that would hasten the day and government would be seen as the culprits they are. Sure they were driven by the greed of the masses but where were the heros who spoke up?
I guess I missed them...or there weren't any.
Saved any Gold?

Anyone here who has a TV let me know when the next Trayvon happens to divide everyone against each other again. We're about due for one of those theatres.
Tyler;
How bout installing an "ignore" button on this site ............ Tx ...........
The Republic is dead - we probably got more years in than the Founding Fathers expected.
The Empire is collapsing - it didn't last for long and we've squandered our nation's fortune on trying to prop it up
We have manipulated and misused those willing to fight for 'their' nation (oblivious to who they were actually serving) while following Rome's lead in expanding our use of paid mercenaries to force our will and influence in places we are not wanted.
We've bankrupted a once rich nation (a fabulously wealthy nation) and have managed to bring down much of the world's financial system with us.
Instead of championing individual freedoms we've taken the lead on Orwellian control and funnelled wealth and power to a smaller and smaller oligarchy.
Glad I'm near the end of my life - I really don't want to see the end when it comes. 'Won't be pretty.
A very quotable piece, cynical. And you are absolutely correct.
However, I believe the world will see the end of the Federal Reserve shortly, and thus the end of the money printing that has dissolved America into a world of debt slavery and the world into a world of systems that do not work. This money out of nothing has created a century of endless war, depressions and despotism but its power is exhausted.
The power of the oligarchs and their plot to destroy the U.S. - unearned - was supplied by this printing. And, like the Fed, the future of these oligarchs is limited to the power of this wealth created out of nothing. Like the Wizard of Oz, once the curtain is pulled back on the Fed, the Fed’s absence of power will be revealed.
This ending is accelerating, speeding up, and the more that the Fed doubles up on its policies and decrees, the faster it speeds. We are not drifting toward the wall at the end of the runway, we are speeding toward it, faster and faster. The Fed has no escape plan. And when the smash comes, and the oligarchs’ money power is gone, we will be free.
“That Lenin understood very well. That bare ideas will get you no further forward, that you cannot make a revolution without power; that in our time the primary source of power is money, and that all forms of power – organization, weapons, people capable of using those weapons to kill – are begotten of money.” – Alexander Solzhenitsyn
It is the same bankers who financed Lenin and his Red Revolution's quest for world dominiation that are financing the American-Israeli Empire’s quest for the same one-world socialist state. End their money and you end their power.
"Gold will not always get you good soldiers, but good soldiers will always get you gold."
--apocryphally attributed to Macchiavelli
Money ain't everything. There ARE things money cannot buy.

oh come now "JOE A", where would we be without interesting people like me? LOL with brilliant names like your and likely equally brilliant commentary, I'm sure we'd all be asleep right now.
International Jew is sure able to bring the termites out of the woodwork, and the rat-roaches out into the light.
Happy birthday you sexy old big floppy titty broad with big hair,everyone's saying shit but you're still telling lies to meeeeeeeee.
Go ahead piss her off, she's just training, idiot.

I doubt America can put itself back together after the upcoming economic collapse. The people writing 'Constitution II' are too divided and have no ability or desire to compromise. I rather suspect the USA to become divided into U, S, and A. One of those three will end up close to the original Constitution, offer real freedoms, and do well. One will become a liberal bastion and drown in lazy souls and run up even more debt. And the other will be a lawless wasteland.
devided assumes that everyone's opinion is valid.
Please be assured, no two opinions are equal.
& certainly, no the only way America is ressurected, is when the intelligent leave to form their own community and ban the idiots from entry.
How do you no.....yah cause your the intelligent MF'er....I no better, than those that don't no, do you no what I mean. Are you intelligent enough to no how people are devided
Dumbass....MF'er....lol..you make this too easy...lol no what I mean...rotflmao
I severely doubt you will be within the intelligent group...
It took precisely 4 minutes of reading comments to realize that you were the big blue eye avatar troll from about a month ago.
Carry on.
Happy Independence Day, debt slaves!
NOTE: No drinking and driving _anything_ not even your bar stool. And don't play with fireworks if you imbibe. It's best to just smoke BIG reefers and kick back with a couple of brews IMHO.
Long time listener first time poster.
I dont disagree with this writer so much as believe that every generation has had to deal with its own human pathology and my generation is no different. (24 yrs old) And in my evolving opinion the willfully ignorant idiots have always outnumbered those who have made the effort to try and know better. In my opinion the biggest difference between the generations is time and and not shortcomings of character. Do I like many of the things that are going on? No abosolutely not and I have and will continue to try change them. However, I would pick this time to live over just about any other despite all the challenges as I believe that this is and will be a defining time in our species as yet short history. Due to us either living as a species or dieing out.
Thomas Jefferson raped his slaves
Lincoln for awhile wanted them shipped to africa
We infected citizens of central american countries with plague and disease exactly like hitler only 15 years before him
Sterilized our own citizens in the fifties and sixties
We're all guilty myself included
Idiotic! Or do I rate too lightly?

A product of the recent Communist educational system with emphasis on pleasure, distractions and fabricated history, your priorities are junk. Your facts are erroneous. Your attitude, while disgusting, is dangerous.
America’s development of the free enterprise system based on individual liberty granted not by government but by the Creator was the first example of its kind in the history of mankind. It produced the years of growth and freedom until it was stolen by an outside force so destructive and evil that it would use economics to rob the people, create endless war and stifle liberty. Since then these robbers, this banking cartel, has had America in a vise; and the experiences of the death of freedom for those of us who understand true freedom have been incredibly disastrous.
And, you, with your misshapen priorities are glad to be alive feasting on the last residuals of freedom in this 21st century era of morass. Idiotic!
Paul Craig Roberts sounds the death knell of liberty this July 4th if you and your generation fail to awaken:
“In the 21st century Americans’ worst enemies are not al Qaeda, Iran, Russia, and China. America’s worst enemies are our own presidents who have declared repeatedly that the orchestrated “war on terror” gives them the right to set aside the civil liberties guaranteed to every citizen by the US Constitution. Presidential disrespect for the US Constitution is so extreme that Obama has nominated David Barron to the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Barron is the Justice (sic) Department official who wrote the memos fabricating a legal justification for the Office of President to murder US citizens without due process of law. http://www.credomobilize.com/petitions/tell-the-senate-keep-assassination-memo-nominee-david-barron-off-the-federal-bench?akid=10688.1090360.wP_x-8&rd=1&suppress_one_click=true&t=3 Having stripped US citizens of their civil liberties, executive branch agencies are now stocking up vast amounts of ammunition, and the Department of Agriculture has placed an order for submachine guns. The Department for Homeland Security has acquired 2,717 mine-resistant armored personnel carriers. Congress and the media are not interested in why the executive branch is arming itself so heavily against the American people…
“The illegitimate power asserted by the Office of the President is not only a threat to every American but also to every living being on planet earth. As the article…reports: “Approximately 17,300 nuclear weapons are presently deployed in at least 9 countries, many of which can be launched and reach their targets within 45 minutes.”*
"It only takes one fool–and Washington has thousands of fools–and all life on earth terminates in 45 minutes…"
* Craig-Roberts cites an article in the June 2014 issue of the American Journal of Public Health wherein a nine-person research team concludes that 85 to 90 percent of war’s casualties are non-combatant civilians.
You know I like you. We agree and agree to disagree from time to time. If this poster really is 24 and posting for the first time, I guess you gave em Fight Club all right. I might have been more conversational...
I held back as much as I could, MsCreant. It looked like a teachable moment, but I guess I blew it. For a 24-year-old there’s time for growing. But I worry regarding Fontenelle’s axiom:
“It takes time to ruin a world, but time is all it takes.”
It's hard maintaining a civilized style in a world intent on going to the devil, but I'll try. And it's very good to hear from you, McCreant, as always...
This is a classic mother-father fight. I seem to get into them all the time when they are not online. I am not sure you are wrong. Just harsh. And sometimes good stuff gets missed amidst the harsh. No worries. There are times it is called for. I know less and less anymore.
Stinkin' Lincoln did want all blacks sent back to Africa. See Tom DiLorenzo, The Real Lincoln.
If you're 24 you will still need a lot more time to grasp the enormity of lies spread out all around you. But keep on it, there is a true reality under all this, and the nice thing when you got to it is that so many things become amazingly simple to understand again. Fully understand the concept of "The Big Lie" and don't be surprised to find it applied almost everywhere around you on a regular basis.
Your examples are just the usual hodgepodge resulting out of the government run brainwashing system a/k/a public education:
1. Shame them
2. Instill fear in them
3. Repeat 1 and 2 daily
4. Convince them they cannot survive without society as it is
Finally:
Why don't you mention today's debt slaves?
Created daily by donning out student loans to everyone with a pulse while disallowing personal bankrupty on those, and glossing over the fact that less than 5% of those young adults will a) ever finish their studies with a degree AND b) find a job which they wouldn't have gotten without that degree AND c) earn a so much higher salary compared to the best job they could've gotten without a degree, that they can actually pay back their student loan within 10 years.
And the other 95% have a high likelihood of remaining permanent debt slaves til the end of their lives or until overthrow/revocation of the system, whichever comes first.
Dude, if you're guilty, maybe you'd better punish yourself.
What an attitude. Kid, what have they done to you?
Welcome to ZH. It's a zoo here, but there's a lot to see.
Spend some time reading history, not the sick news reports of today. I didn't really know squat about history at your age either, it's nearly a suppressed topic anymore. The US is nearing a state of collapse, but for the past 250 years or so, and not overlooking some things we could have done better, the US has set positive examples for the world pretty much unprecedented in history. Cheer up. Or go flagellate yourself. Whatever.
You are guilty of being an imbecile. Nothing more, nothing less. Get some time on the pond and check back with us in about 5-10 years jackass.
Oh hey, check it out: yet another dumbfuck Millennial.
"We're all guilty" crap is your brainwashing talking. Liberty is a notion, not a nation. The US had the notion going strong for a while, never completly. We, as individuals, have nothing to feel guilty about. TPTB decide what we learn in school. It's up to each of us to dig out the truth and wake up. The State is not your friend.
Head out of butt, please.
Your position is merely mouthing the words of the communist educators who brainwashed you to lose all sense of proportion, and left you bereft of much of the truth.
You have a LOT of reading to do.
Dump the guilt complex ASAP.
There is no way you are guilty of things that happened before you were born.
Without reading the article or comments:
Thanks Tylers.
This article and the posts that follow prove that the consonant effects of flouride in antidepressants and water combined with the female hormones in plastics and can linings, combined with near microwave bombardment of wifi, and standing emf frequencies from smart meters when mixed with repeated messaging and misinformation, and the slow beat down of constant low level stress produced by a grinding, collapsing economy, the dreadful hammering of dark melodies and lyrics, a hard hearted uglyness, a twisted neo-darwinian survival of the fittest, materialistic, worship of wealth, and self imposed imprisonment as well as a perfectly disfunctional governance, and an overwhelming sense of impending doom, distrust, and embrace of willful ignorance has brought us to a perfectly reprehensible state.
Thanks assholes it's working.
Hey Kurt my tin-foil hat protects me from all that shite...right?
CCanuck, Canada eh?
Your poisoning hasn't been as carefully orchestrated because your country isn't as mindlessly wedded to the overpopulation and mass murder mindset. You have a quaint belief among your food producers that food should be healthy and wholesome. They even indulge in the quaint notion that "it should be good enough for my family". You are temporarily living in a pre-apocolyptic bubble protected by royals accross the pond who see you as a get away. They haven't yet decided to shit down your decapitated neck hole.
Off topic ... but i need to say this
Fuck off America ... we don't appreciate you supporting the Dutch team.
The Wall Street Journal is way out of line.
We don't need your support ... get a life.
Leave us alone.
Understood ?????????
Yes it is indeed understood. It's called 17 beers and failure to take your meds...please proceed.
Once QE and ZIRP and all the other desperate actions stop keeping the ship afloat here is what Plan B is:
A) First you have to identify what the desperate actions are fighting against:
THE PERFECT STORM (see p. 59 onwards) http://ftalphaville.ft.com/files/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf
The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. But the critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel.
B) What will the elites do --- and why?
When things unravel the elites will most certainly not stand by and allow complete chaos to overwhelm them --- they will definitely be trying to influence the outcome ---- they will most definitely want to cull the population drastically. That MUST happen because 7.2 billion people CANNOT be fed post oil. Here’s the plan:
1. Declare martial law ensuring that anyone who resorts to violence to obtain food is quickly smashed down (the NSA already knows who the potential trouble-makers are):
- you have seen the militarization of US police forces:
http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21599349-americas-police-have-become-too-militarised-cops-or-soldiers
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887323848804578608040780519904
- Homeland Security has purchased 1.6 rounds of ammo “some of this purchase order is for hollow-point rounds, forbidden by international law for use in war, along with a frightening amount specialized for snipers” http://www.forbes.com/sites/ralphbenko/2013/03/11/1-6-billion-rounds-of-ammo-for-homeland-security-its-time-for-a-national-conversation/
2. Make no effort to feed anyone other than military forces and other key people (and themselves of course)
3. All petroleum reserves to be used only to enforce martial law - and maintain key infrastructure (e.g. keep nuclear plants and fuel ponds from melting down)
4. Wait until most people are dead.
5. Pick up the pieces
C) Conclusions:
Ø I am more inclined to hold gold --- because if the above is correct --- it is highly likely that gold would remain a store of wealth in the new paradigm (but gold will be of no use initially --- only if you survive the multi-billion person die-off)
Ø having a stockpile of food and water to survive at least 3 months will be crucial --- the only way to join the 'elites' in the 'brave new world' would be to outlast the billions who will starve to death
Ø having productive land goes hand in glove with the above - and martial law might ensure that you are left alone to grow your food -- while the 'elites' carry out an accelerated die off by not feeding anyone --- and not allowing them to access food stores and farms through violence.
As I listen to the sounds of the 4th fireworks nearby (mostly illegal, god blessm), I'm reminded of why there are fireworks on the 4th.
Mostly to celebrate and simulate battle.
While I appreciate the spectacle, I also think about the shrapnel tearing through my body as the burst hits.
Something you will never forget, if you get the chance...
Does it have anything to do with Independence?
Hell, yes.
It is something which cannot be wasted on petty things, only the most precious.
It really is something to die for and many have.
Amen brother in arms. Soon we turn to the liberty we've lost. Many will shed their blood for that freedom...or not as they might choose to continue with slavery.
2nd Amen here too. Just bought my brand new "Give me Libery or Give me Death", American Flag, and the original Bunker Hill Flags we're flying together on the pole. Most don't know why the battle of Bunker Hill was, or why it was so important-especially since the colonist lost the battle. The battle gave Britan major losses by an unfunded army of ragtag poor "subjects" that had the audacity to fight a superior force...which was a huge win when the news got out.
The enemy we should have been aware of and fighting has been right here at home all along.
A small point about shrapnel...if you hear the blast, it missed you. You never hear the one that got you.
It's over....accept it and plan accordingly.
What a crock of shit.
Here is the edited version:
You’ve managed to stay upright and breathing through a War of Northern Aggression that destroyed the lives and freedom of over 700,000 who voted for a government to protect them, instead that government waged war on them.
You fought on behalf of Wall Street and big banks in two World Wars protecting Big Business and destroying the lives of untold numbers.... Then you firebombed civilian cities in Germany and dropped two atomic bombs on women and children in Japan.
....Just had to fix those two parts... The rest I couldn't read because it's such propagnda BS.... Now I need to take a shower after reading half that crap.
What a crock of shit.

Too many people it appears a struggle is occurring to unseat America as the worlds most dominate nation. For many proud Americans who see the world from the unenlightened and possibly undefendable position of the United States having a right to be in control it is both threatening and frustrating to see control slip away.
It is threatening to think the country might quickly fall to the position of a second rate power mired in debt with many of the options we have come to see as our right suddenly ripped away. It is frustrating that in many ways the country has become its own worse enemy guilty of political inaction and squandering its power through a series of bad choices and missteps. More on this shift in power and our best response in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/06/americas-struggle-to-stay-on-top....
this thread was completely ruined by International Jew and is unreadable
As Ron Paul said
"The idea of opposing — by force if necessary — a tyrannical government has been turned into a celebration of tyrannical government itself!"
I think someone(s) upstairs was echoing those same sentiments yesterday with the weather on the east coast (original 13 colonies). Pissed on their mindless flag waiving parades, then we had a nice bright red sky during sunset as the weather finally cleared (red is the color of rebellion) then wind to make the people blowing off fireworks (illegal in most those states, so the act of doing so is in essence an act of rebellion against the state) have to work a little bit for their expression of freedom and liberty since it is never free.
We get the point someone has to protect the house but the way to honor that is to be free not a mindless flag waiving dolt. The flag is just a flag. It don't mean shit in and of itself. If the people don't hold up their end of the contract by actually doing it then the symbol loses it's intended meaning.
The Old Republic is dead and cannot be revived. The question is 'what comes next?' The Powers That Be have decided they will create a new totalitarian nation of North America, forcing Canada and Mayheeko to join the former USofA in one massive police state designed to make a small oligarchy fabulously wealthy--far beyond anything seen before.
It need not be that way. We have force of arms. That can solve totalitarin scheming handily.
But the old government is dead, and there is NO GOING BACK. We must constitute a new government, and fix as much of the problems of the old one as our genius permits.
