I have 2 friends that are conservative and do not believe in God. They are not over the top activists though. They just choose not to believe. I know they are the exception but they are out there.

It was really embarrassing as an American, especially from an educational perspective (or lack there of.) It's no wonder the rest of the world thinks we're idiots. When you've got a segment of the public who doesn't even understand it's own history....it's just shameful.
well maybe we shouldn't keep electing that same segment to Congress.

But that's more of a side issue to me. In the past two decades America's economy has been tilted heavily in favor of those who already hold the majority of the resources. And the middle class is left to bear an undo share of the burden. We face deeper long-term problems with the fundamental basis for our economy. It's eroding badly under the feet of the middle and working classes.

It's now all about the "investing class" and how America can promote more wealth for these few.
I dont believe its a class war at all.I think its the government legeslating, manipulating segments of our economy into monopolies.leaving the middle class unable to play.you see it is easy for the government to take over one huge company then to take over thounds of little one.I believe its a war between the people and the government who is keeping those auto companies,financial bank from going under.to big to fail!!I say they are to big let them fail.

Oh please- you got what you wanted and now you are being picky. There are TONS of Anti-Bush billboards if you use google- both from the USA and other countries!

The trick is to show how corrupt and even brutal the Government minions are. Organize a group of 10,000 or more and march up to the Capitol building and demand access to government. Make sure everyone is dressed in a typical middle-class professional way. When the government goons start attacking the crowd get it on video. Make sure you get plenty of images of the police state using its typical brutality. Then somehow force the media to broadcast this, even if it involves threats to them personally. Once the average American sees how arrogant and aggressive the system is toward the public there will be widespread disgust. Best if children are harmed by the police and those images are shown everywhere. Of course the Government will install its henchmen in the crowd to start something but if everyone was well organized they could be identified and neutralized before problems start. Civil disobedience of the average middle class American is the only way, not armed attacks. The police state and military is trained to kill not reason. Revolution must go behind them to the source- government. Arms are only for individuals and groups to defend themselves against looters or other criminals including those in government who commit violent crimes. If America enters civil war the outcome will be dictatorship and fascism because sheeple want law and order at any cost.

If the sheep all sit around, we will end up somewhere between socialism and communism. Some here probably think thats a good thing. The ones that think America is so horrible in its current state, politically, should find a new place to live. We need change, but tweak what we have and what works. Obama has divided this country like never before. Very sad when I read all the hate and discontent from all sides on this forum.

Can't tell whether you didn't know the meaning of "mandatory" or whether you accidentally let an authoritarian streak shine through, but it's a moot point. You've managed to communicate your revised point in favor of billboards, well done.

No problem, maybe next time we will be on the same page from the start.
