Yeah, the problem is when people try to "take America back" they are taking it back from...other Americans. They delude themselves that everyone is the amoral evil conspirator against them, legitimizing violence against everyone. People from the inept but very willing Georgia militia terrorist plot, 4 old folks desiring to murder thousands of "American politicians, media figures, Internal Revenue Service employees, and innocent civilians" to save/take back America, to the adept Timothy McVeigh, killing 165 and injuring 400 in Oklahoma City.

Once some one crosses the line to be willing to murder anyone around them when they don't get their way on how things should be in their minds eye...a person stops as human being and becomes a monster in my opinion.

I'm all for taking America back from the federal government and it's agenda of controlling people while simultaneously stealing from them.

ok, then maybe you didnt learn reading comprehension growing up, I don't know. this thread is about getting our country back. and to me, that is getting it out of the hands of the racists we have in power now. the Liberals that look down upon black people.

only to those that have a hard time understanding plain english. But that is okay. I don't knock those for having the beliefs they do, I may not agree with them, but they have the right to believe what ever they wish.

I know but there's a reason Ron Paul won in Iowa. More Conservatives are waking up but the liberals still worship the globalist sell outs they have.

Who on earth could support such foolishness as this ? ..... Of course we know the answer all to well by now. "Liberal Looney Tunes" of course !

What a curse this bunch has been for America !

The Republican party is rather fragmented at this point BECAUSE many Republicans won't vote for the globalists they keep trying to offer up. The big media bliltz on Gingrich isn't getting him votes. You don't see either Bush getting behind a candidate to win him votes. Conservatives didn't get globalist McCain elected. Many Republicans are going for Ron Paul. The Tea Party is big because it opposes the big government globalists.

Yet the liberals are solidly behind their Clinton-Obama-Pelosi wing big government globalists.

Not a peep from liberals that Obama just expanded NAFTA even more and is giving the American truck-driving jobs to cheap foreign trucking firms. No complaint from the liberals that it was Pelosi, Obama, and Frank that really rammed through the big bailouts for the global corporations. They simply blame all that on Bush who foolishly signed the bill the democrats presented him to sign. No blame on Pelosi or the others who actually pushed it.

GLobalization is not "free markets". Globalization is giving up our country's sovereignty and control to foreign leaders and multi-national interests.

It should go without saying when we talk about free markets we are talking about free markets in a sovereign state. We are also referring to a time when there was a fraction of government involvement in the business sector. Back when this country WAS something to be proud of.
