I am SICK and TIRED of the GOVERNMENT ramrodding their small cocks into the business of individuals. Sick of it! I don't need asinine blowhards who regulate everything we do and set a new law for this and that telling me what a moral and ethical principle is!! I am up to my eyeballs with "public safety" laws which are designed to punish victimless crimes. This horrid miscarriage of justice is wrought everyday on our freedom. The Republicans aren't even worth mentioning. They want to police the world and feed their monopolies. The Democrats--well, never in my life have I encountered so many people who love government and are totally blind to the damage it has really done with our economy, personal lives, and the rest of the world. Government has failed every promise it has made; it has never reached any goal set; all government does it take our paycheck, and attempt to run our personal lives. Our founding fathers started the Constitution with one basic inherited value in mind: Freedom. We want to be free, to do what we want, to live our own lives without interference from the hands of those who "know what is best for us". But every Election year we elect politicians who trample upon our Constitution every day in their legislation and have no chance of ever breathing a free breath--hold on...this just in: CONGRESS HAS PASSED A NEW OXYGEN TAX-- If you're breathing oxygen you must pay a tax. Don't worry it is included on your income tax that Uncle Sam takes out before you ever get your money. Until the sheeple STOP making the false "choice" between Demopublican and Republicrats, we will continue to grow the government and lessen your freedom. This false choice is still pulling the wool over the eyes of the general public, which, apparently and sadly, isn't hard to do.
Americans would wake up in a second if they knew how the system worked. They don't. They believe the two-party system is set up to benefit them, when it's really just a system set up to divide and conquer. People need to realize that all this talk about Left and Right, Democrat and Republican, is all bullshit. Both parties, regardles of their rhetoric, support the same anti-constitutional, one-world ideology that is leading us into the pits of a global tyranny. People have been brainwashed into thinking the government is here to serve and protect them. It's not. As long as people believe that it is, the further off track we will be headed.
i really get sort of a sick feeling when i agree with you. but i'm strong enough to admit it. the government really offers no choice. "accept THIS law taking your money and your freedoms, or accept THIS one doing the same thing, but in a different area of your life. you are not intelligent enough to dictate what you do with your money OR your time." but still, voting outside the 2 party system will make even the people who know and trust you best to look at you sideways and back slowly away.
Well, your political viewpoints and mine may parallel at times, but that is no reason to be sickened. You and I just share a similar view on something and disagree vehemently on something else. Such is life...
Blah blah blah blah. Easy to say, but can you walk the walk? If you don't dig government, go to the woods. Go somewhere without a real government, and see how you like it. Sitting in front of your computer, enjoying all the benefits of being governed, it's easy to bullshit about how you hate the government, and you're an anachist or whatnot. It's rather harder to live in a country where there's no-one to stop you getting robbed.
Why should I have to go to the woods? I guess those who don't like the way their nation is should just run away instead of petition, protest and try to take measures to reform it. Bullshit, man. I'm not running away...until I see that reform is not possible. Then, at that time, I will move. You can guarantee that. And I am a minarchist, not an anarchist. If you want a Big Brother, that's you. I don't care for one myself.
Fine. You're welcome to your kooky political views; I hope they make you happy. But gripeing and whingeing don't help anyone.
You're right. I am welcome to my political views (freedom isn't kooky, except to fascists) and they do make me happy about myself. Complaining is free as well, but I do much more than that. I protest, publish editorials, assemble people and try to get some sense through to politicians and the general public who elect them. That's all I am doing...and I get to state my views here online as well. I find that...tremendously exhilirating...
i saw this great bumper sticker that said "if democrats and republicans could read, they'd be libertarians." it was near as good as the "honk if you think i look like jesus"
