Our government is not our country. If you think it is, you're part of the reason the country is going down the toilet.

And no one is afraid of military lefties who work in HR. If the military ordered them into battle, they would hide in their tranny restrooms.

Naah; they wouldn't. There's a well worn path a hundred thousand or more have already taken.

Without any amendments.


All because some judges thought it should say that, but clearly doesn't.

Thomas Jefferson warns of the dangers of central banks and national debt

Yes, if only Thomas Jefferson could be our President today! Notice that he said "if we A-L-L-O-W this", which we have, and so much more! The American people's APATHY is the reason behind our government being out of control and controlling us! Time to take that control back!


President Dwight D. Eisenhower famously warned the U.S. about the "military–industrial complex" in his farewell address. In 2011, the United States spent more on its military than the next 13 nations combined, without consideration of spending versus GDP.


A similar thesis was originally expressed by Daniel Guérin, in his 1936 book Fascism and Big Business, about the fascist government support to heavy industry.

Evidently you see a level of desperation that normal people fail to notice.

There was a civil war..... Because we refused to allow it.

That was the same day, the federal government said no more to the US Constitution, it is too harmful to the power of the central government, especially that pesky 2nd amendment........ Disarming the public started almost immediate in the reconstruction period.

Statists and non-statists alike have Google...as you noted.

As I've said numerous times you can't "leave" a statist society. I know folks completely off grid in New Mexico and Vermont. They use no government services or products yet still must buy their land and pay property taxes. It's either pay or face the cage/sword.

Who said attempts to leave your hated society should be confined to this country?

Paranoid nutball "militias" certainly are not our country by any stretch of the imagination. And those angry, frightened pessimists who slag on America are anything BUT patriots.

No matter how tough they talk on the net.

Interesting article. In it they state that Canada received the "best educated group of immigrants they ever received."

In many respects it took more courage to go to Canada than it did Vietnam.
