Jesus was a Liberal, a lot like Obama. Liberality is the way, the truth and the life. No one will find the Kingdom of Heaven that is AT HAND unless they are liberal with their love and the treasure.

Jim:
I must disagree. Jesus believed the Bible (the old Bible since that was all there was then.) He followed and preached it. His argument was that the people of his time were trying to change what the Bible said for their own benifit. That is not liberalism (changing the system.) It is conservatism. It was the people who had decided to rewrite the laws that was upsetting him and for whom he gave his life.
John
If Jesus would be real, and if he would come back today, he would be appalled by what organized religion and the conservatives have done to his teachings.
Nadzieja Batki
Better that you and your kind look what you have done to religion.
DaveH
There’s little doubt that Jesus was real, John.
But could you explain what “conservatives” have done to his teachings?
I put conservatives in quotes because I think you really mean Right-Wingers.
Flashy
The doubt is whether he was indeed supernatural and related to the Big Guy, not whether Jesus existed.
Deerinwater
Well Flash, he was real and like you and me, he too was supernatural.
You just don’t have the faith to know it and it’s hard as hell for me too!
Humans are mortal but you , me, Dave, Jesus are not 100% human, there is a small element of the nonphysical in all living things. For the sake of a better word, I call it the “Divine”.
Jesus was a man that knew and understood all of his parts and was impossible to “offend”. Think about that for a minute.
How can the ocean be offended by the rain? How could the devil himself offend you?.
The “faith in knowing what you are” makes all men/women supernatural.
We are star dust, it’s what we was and what we will return to.
Chris Schilke
Except for the name I agree with you. And you know, those people weren’t happy with the original 613 rules to live by so they had to do what our legislature does today: add to them. That’s exactly what Jesus as you call him was upset about. They made it impossible for people to keep the original 613 laws.

I was reading an email that said that a person that was running for President needed 2 things. 1. Be born in the United States and have the COMPLETE birth Certificate, not a forged one, and 2. Both parents MUST be U.S. Citizens, not just 1 like Obama’s. He’s such a pinhead, a fraud and a liar! He’s tearing this country apart and he doesn’t give a snot because to the Muslims, “Out of Chaos, comes Peace.” He’s creating so much chaos himself, spending so much money, putting this country in a deep,deep hole that the next president will have a hell of a time trying to get America out of. His family goes on so many vacations, it’s unbelievable! No President EVER has gone on so many vacations and spent so much money. He’s ruining the chance for another black president. The people will say,”Remember Pinhead? We don’t want another Pinhead!” and he’ll lose the election, even if he had high qualifications! They’ll think that EVERY black president will take America for a ride and spend, spend, spend, because they’ve never seen that much money in their life. What goes around, comes around. I say exile Obama to Kenya for the rest of his living days with his family. They are never to set foot on American soil again. No pension, just their clothes. That goes for 10 generations upon pain of death!

Nobody asked me but, if they did I’d tell them that I think we’d all be better off if the politicians all went home and did nothing. I think they do too much. 40,000 laws nation wide last year alone; well that’s what I was told anyway. I mean even if it was only one tenth that number what in the world do all of those laws mean to us? We can’t even keep up with our wives birthdays let alone 4,000 or 40,000 new laws we don’t understand. And who can understand the 3,000,000 existing laws now? I guess that we just have to wait to find out what they mean until after we’ve been arrested because we broke one of them. And I know that if we are good little boys and girls we won’t have to worry about those 3,000,000 laws now will we? We’ll only have to worry about it if we irritate somebody who has authority.
45caliber
I agree with you. There are over a thousand gun control laws on the Federal books. How many of those do you think are enforced?
A year or two ago, the news announced that the state legislature had ended their session and gone home. They had been busy; they had passed over 1700 new laws. I had heard of barely a dozen. It makes you wonder just what they pass, doesn’t it? But they feel that they must pass something to “prove” they are doing something for the money we pay them. If they just went home, we’d be much better off.
Nadzieja Batki
The laws are passed because human nature cannot be controlled. Laws fail to control human behaviors and the laws keep multiplying and keep on failing. We will lose complete Liberty and we will not have goodness. Marxism in all its’ horrors is crouching at the door.
Chris Schilke
45, You’re right about those gun laws, but as my son points out they aren’t there to be actively enforced until they’re needed to bring somebody into line or to give them an excuse to ride roughshod over somebody.
Chris Schilke
Nadzieja Batki, I guess that essentially you are right, though the law can’t control human behavior it can be used to punish someone for improper behavior. Then it’s up to the person to control themselves or suffer the consequences over again. A good law is there to protect others from the abuse of others. That may not be a comfort to someone who is abused however if it stops future abuse the law did what it was designed to do. The other purpose of a good law is to help give us guidance in daily life. It takes people with intelligence to know a good law from a bad one and to get guidance from it. We have too many bad laws that can’t be enforced.
The last thing: I feel sorry for someone who can’t control themselves. That’s the kind of person who we need to protect society from. I hope you weren’t referring to yourself when you made that statement;I don’t think you were.

Excellent comments. Adding onto it: Eastern Europe experimented with socialism but did not reach the utopic communist level. The transition was recognized as a generational phenomenon – the middle class and the rich drawn into socialism by government force will have no choice but to accept it. But, their children and grand children will embrace socialism by virtue of not knowing better – see state media only, closed borders, isolation, additional benefits for party members, etc. This phase of acceptance is communism. Well, it did not work in Eastern Europe. Why? Because although born equal, people are not equal. One size does not fit all. Now, here comes bad news: For many people dependancy is a way of life (the more of them, the better for Obama at. al): You give me, I want what you have, not fair that you have more regardless, on and on…But, when money to redistribute and borrow no more, the dependent ones will turn against their own elected. And, their elected will simply run away as by now they are rich enough and could not care less. So, it might be a good idea to let Obama take it into the ground before America can come back. And, I will be the first one to say: “I told you so! Now, back to work”.

Why anyone would expect or question why Obama does not tell the truth is totally beyond me . The jerk is a phoney from the word go and is evident by his first act , sealing all records about him and his family. What he didn’t seal was the mouths of those who knew him at collage and these individuals have accidently or purposely spilled the beans . At least some have .
It seems young Barry Obama was and most likely still is a card carrying member or the American Communist party . Was an ardent follower of Marx and Lenin taking every course taught by known communist professors .
The end game of all this is that one Barrack Hussain Obama as he styles himself has but one goal and agenda . That agenda is to destroy America as we know it and lead us along the path to Communism. In this manner he can become Dictator in title not just in executive decision .
All hail the mighty Obama , The Chicago Bum in a cheap suit .
John
He is not any different then any president in the last 100 years. None of then ever told the truth to the nation.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that John, but let Obama speak for himself.
“We’re going to reshape America in a way that is less mean-spirited and more generous.” That sounds good…kind of…
But then he said, “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.” Sounds like he wants govt to tell me what to do…
Of course michelle had to chime in, “Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual…”
The problem though, according to barrack is information, “The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound.” Yeah, we should just trust the govt news agencies like MSNBC, CNN, et al.
Because, that darned Constitution gets in the way barrack can’t “… make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money.” It’s such a bummer!
But, ya know, “That’s just how white folks will do you.”
And, since he just wanted “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
Because, “My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change it.”

Karolyn, the American people are NOT in the White House. Obummer is. GB is long gone. Obummer has NOT corrected America’s problems. Obummer made our problems WORSE.
Obummer combines National Socialism, Communism, Progressivism and Fascism. Looking the other way and saying ‘this can’t be’ because Obummer won’t admit it is NO excuse.
Raw stupidity is NEVER a defense. Obummer is a DIVIDER. He will NEVER try to UNITE America.

When a new prez takes over for the last one, makes it WORSE and dares to claim that he’s made it better, then it PROVES that the new prez is a LIAR and every la la land jockstrap supporter is also a LIAR.

Wake up your friends, get political locally, remove the scum, educate the unaware:
The similarities between the Communist Manifesto and the UN agenda (outlined in the Beijing Declaration and incorporated into the Habitat Agenda) should be a call to action. Both revolutions–
• Use psychology and sociology to establish the victimhood, blame and anger needed to fuel the revolution.
• Use education to conform minds to the new ideology.
• Use synthesis (blending opposing views into compromise beliefs that match new goals) to produce group consensus.
• Promise economic equality to seduce the masses.
• Spread hatred toward “extremists” who refuse to compromise.
The Communist Manifesto led to religious, moral and economic bankruptcy. Yet UN-led activists and their US partners are determined to fulfill their utopian visions.”
Essentially, Agenda 21 and the United Nations are using Communist techniques. But Communism has always been a tool used by the international bankers, Rothschilds and the Illuminati. The Communist Manifesto, written by a Satanist, Karl Marx, around 1848, is basically a copy of The Illuminati Manifesto written in the late 1700s. Thus an occult organization formulated the supposedly atheistic Communist Manifesto. Communism and Nazism were both invented and financed by the international bankers. Communism is the means of acquiring total control of a people, nation and government. That is why in the more candid publications the New World Order is referred to as a World Communist Government.

summary — Flashman posts a comment about long-distance shooting in an attempt to make himself look intelligent. But it turns out that he plagiarized the comment from an obscure article by a man whose researcher couldn’t find any real Snipers to talk to, so she got her information from some shooters at a local gun club. Yep, that’s a thorough investigation (not). At any rate the article was ridiculous, but Flashman being the ignoramus that he is, fell for it hook, line, and sinker, and plagiarized it apparently thinking it would make him look intelligent.

Dismissive ad hominems do not an argument make. That tactic may work in some venues you inhabit, but here you are expected to respond with factual rebuttals. So I’m asking, what of DaveH’s post:
“Did you know, Freedom Fighter, that the United Nations was conceived and promoted by FDR? In the process of seeking Stalin’s membership and cooperation, FDR gave the USSR great concessions (the rule of the Satellite countries), and received almost nothing in return.

Though I would suggest that there are many other posters which go beyond the bounds of my pointing out DaveH’s revisionist history.

As to your question concerning DaveH’s revision:
“In the process of seeking Stalin’s membership and cooperation, FDR gave the USSR great concessions (the rule of the Satellite countries), and received almost nothing in return. The only reasonable conclusion that one can come to is that FDR thought he would gain Leadership of the World through the UN.”
Such is not worth the paper it’s written on for accuracy.
If i recall, the Atlantic Charter was held in.. ’42 or ’43. That meeting set the stage for the post war international agreements, among those agreements were such that set the stage for the San Francisco conference which ultimately led to the creation of the UN.
E. Europe was a discussion both at Tehran and later at Yalta. FDR and Churchill were leery about Stalin keeping his promises to war against Japan. As you will remember the Nuclear option was not then known to be anytime soon and the invasion of Japan was being estimated at over 1 million in American casualties. E. Europe was never explicitly discussed. Once the post war division of policed terroritory was made, Stalin never ceded it as was envisioned. His broken promise occurred after FDRs death and was being cemented in place when he met with Churchill (later Atlee) and Truman at Potsdam.
At Tehran and later Yalta, The Poland border issue was the main concern, as were reparations and the division of Germany and occupied territories post war.
i will refer you to the book “Witness to History” by Charles Bohlen, who served in Moscow as our “Soviet expert” diplomat prior to WWII, later ambassador to Russia in the early 50′s. Was briefly interred in Tokyo when the war broke out, and then served as our Ambassador to France during the 60′s. Ambassador Bohlen was the interpreter for FDR at both Tehran and Yalta.
It’s a fascinating book giving first hand descriptions and expression to that time in our history.
If I may ask you, what part of DaveH’s historical revision would you deem correct in light of it is in direct conflict with the firsthand narratives of Ambassador Bohlen?

Dear Flashy,
You write: ”I am glad you are policing the personal attacks on this site. Though I would suggest that there are many other posters which go beyond the bounds of my pointing out DaveH’s revisionist history. I strongly applaud this policing as long as it goes both ways and applies to all, of which application I have little doubt you would disagree.” Here’s what I’m sure of; the dialogue was much more pleasant while you were on hiatus. On that, I’m sure most commenters would agree.
You write: “Such is not worth the paper it’s written on for accuracy.” Actually it is on the mark, your revisionist history notwithstanding. Roosevelt was either completely fooled by Stalin—in which case he was a fool—or he had ulterior motives in his dealings with Stalin. Stalin said, “Whoever occupies a territory imposes on it his own social system.” With that in mind, he convinced (persuaded, duped, whatever) Roosevelt to embark on the cross-channel invasion of France as opposed to continuing into Europe through Italy. Stalin wanted to keep the U.S. out of Eastern Europe so he would have unfettered access to it. In Poland, the U.S., at Russia’s urging, convinced the Polish underground to rise up against the German occupation with the promise that Russian troops, stationed just across the border, would attack from outside. The Russians then stood by while the Polish occupation was slaughtered and forbid the U.S. and England from coming to Poland’s aide. This, along with the Katyn massacre of Poles and Stalins actions sending thousands of Poles to Siberia, indicated his designs on Eastern Europe. Roosevelt told Averell Harriman, ambassador to the Soviet Union, he “didn’t care whether the countries bordering Russia became communist or not.” At Yalta, Roosevelt’s goals were to secure help from Russia if the atomic bomb didn’t work and Stalin’s help with the U.N. And he was willing to give him the farm, including billions in Lend-Lease materiel and control of Eastern Europe. For Stalin, the goal at Yalta were to confirm and secure his dominance over Eastern Europe—including Berlin and much of Germany—and to keep France and England as weak as possible. Stalin knew as long as he had veto power at the Security Council, he held the power. Besides, he could renege on the agreement at any time as he had on all his agreements with Roosevelt. http://www.personalliberty.com/conservative-politics/fdr-goes-to-war-how-expanded-executive-power-spiraling-national-debt-and-restricted-civil-liberties-shaped-wartime-america-by-burton-w-folsom-jr-and-anita-folsom/

I agree with what you say with one exception, I don’t think Obama is really for Islam. I think Obama is for himself. Islam is just a tool to him. My son says he’s a true believer, but I’m not sure what it is he truly believes in except for like I say he believes in himself and his cause.

When you come to the realization that Obama is a Sociopath, these comments about his lying will be fully understood.
Everyone needs to go to this medical website that describes the traits of a Sociopath……
Unfortunately, most of the Leaders fit that profile, with at least one glaring exception: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/
We have a rare opportunity to put somebody in the Presidential Office who really does represent the People instead of Representing Big Government. Let’s not blow it.

The problem with the government and truth is that the deeper into fiscal, social and noral problems they take us, the more they have to lie to us cover their sorry butts and to assdure that they stay in power. And the problem with us, i.e. “we the people” is that we are foolish enough to believe that human government can solve our problems! A quick review of the great empires of the world: Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome, Great Britain and Russia have shown us two things: 1) We don’t learn from history, and 2) Things never change! Arrogance, greed, jealousy, avarice, the rise of political and judicial corruption, social and moral decay with destruction of traditional marriage and the family, sexual license and militant homosexuality, and gross fiscal irresponsibility led each one to fall. Truth was abandonned in each one of these areas in favor of personal desire and political expediency. It is happenening in America! There will be no “revival” until it begins with the people!

Hate to tell you this, but the NYTs piece is correct.
Do you know how many Rights are specifically guaranteed by the Constitution? C’mon all of you so-called Constitutional “experts”. Take a guess because I have a feeling none of you know (I can see it now as everyone goes to read what they’ve said they were “well read’ on.) ROFL

Angel, the Nazis first embraced Christianity to gain power and then founded their own version of “christianity” called “Positive Christianity”. It was a step along the way to completing the persecution of those of the Jewish faith. They denied Jesus was a Jew and, in fact, claimed Jesus despised Jews. Catholics were first persecuted outside of Nazi Germany. Several thousand Catholics actually died in concentration camps in and around Poland.
I give this short history lesson as a warning to all our athiestic or anti-Christian detractors such as Flashy. Their beliefs and the political gain the left has recently experienced from them are in many ways similar to the political gain the Nazis received early on. But, the writing is on the wall for those without a closed mind to read. The Catholics generally supported this president (something like 52% of the Catholic vote went dem last cycle) and yet the tearing down of the Catholic tenets continues…all I’m saying Flashy is that you and your ilk may not be next on the agenda, but you are in line.
DaveH
There’s little doubt in my mind, Sirian, that Flashman is at least feeding at the trough. He works too hard fabricating facts to be somebody who is here to seek knowledge about the benefits of Liberty.
Angel Wannabe
Jeep, at the risk of sounding repetitive this has all been done before. Eisenhower warned us, so did Reagan in 61_ the push is definitely on at lightening speed, to crush what’s lefts of us.
Flashy
Egads….sometimes i wonder about some of the posters onm this site, other times it’s plain clear and no need to wonder.
A few ite,s to comment.
1. obvious y’all have no clue how many Rights are specifically referenced in the Constitution. Thus, all you so-called ‘experts’ claiming to have read it, never have. You may have scanned it, but none have read it.
2. Taking the Constitution from the former USSR and comparing it to our Constitution, a superficial reading would imply the USSR had a more liberating Constitution. in fact, during the late 70′s, there was a study performed wehre the identifying well know phrases of both were omitted, and the documents given to people on the street. Something like 60% said the USSR Constitution was the democratic one and ours was communistic. What separates the US Constitution from all others is the key element of government. (here ya go DaveH, learn something for a change).
Our Constitution states all Power resides in the People. And government power and authority is only what we allow it to be. If it’s not given or allowed to the Government, the government doesn’t have it. The Constitution isn’t written to protect us from government! It’s a document that states what we cede from our Power, and it states no matter how far whacked we become, there are a set of specific Rights we cannot cede. And you guys for all your self proclamations of being knowledgable, not only have no clue how many Rights are specific in the Constitution, YOU DON”T EVEN KNOW IT’S PURPOSE
3. I am not anti-Christian. I am 100% for the seperation of church and state. And whether a church declares it has an exemption from some application of law, they have none because they cannot be held out as special. We all live by the same rules. Any time government carves out some religious expemption..it violates the 1st in that it has given sanction to a religion over all others…and if it gives that exception to all religions, it violates the 1st because it recognizes religion as being special above that of the citizenry.
My own personal belief? I believe organized religion was a great invention by the elite that is used to control the ignorant masses.
Got that?
Jeep
Thanks Angel, I am well aware that you really on top of this. But, there is really no risk in proclaiming the warnings from those who have gone before again and again. It should be repeatedly shouted from the mountaintops down to the valley below. The risk isn’t in the proclamation, it is that noone is listening.
However, I am quite sure that Christians and Jews from Russia, China, Germany and dozens of other countries didn’t hear the warnings either until the camp gates closed.
Angel Wannabe
Jeep__ thats the problem, __ we can’t wake up those, who think that they are already awake, ya chan’t change peoples opinions who are unwilling to listen.

DaveH
Flashman,
Why do you waste your time writing long conjectural unsupported comments? You know you have no credibility, and since you never supply references, why do you think anybody would pay attention to anything you say?
Your statement regarding people not knowing which Constitution was US and which was USSR just highlights the fact that our Citizens have been dumbed down by the Progressive Propaganda Public School system, yourself included.
For those who, in spite of Flashman, would like to learn: http://mises.org/daily/1912
From the article — “That is why the Constituion grants so few powers to goverment and the the Bill of Rights is devoted to what the government is not allowed to do, regardless of majority sentiment. As Jefferson said, our founders fought not for democracy, but for government “tied down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”.”
Flashy
DaveH….just once read what you link to OK? As you pasted “That is why the Constituion grants so few powers to goverment” Ummm..isn’t that what I said? LOL. IT’S BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS FOR OUR GOVERNMENT. But then, all these so-called “Constitutional experts’ on this site know that…
That study was conducted in the mid 70′s. At least, that’s when I read a copy of it. It may have been conducted earlier.
Still can’t name how many Rights are specifically mentioned in our Constitution can you? LOL
Experts…jeesh. You guys can’t even cite the number of explicit Rights. So tell me once again the “expert” interpretation of “citizens’ is as meaning in the US Constitution?
Brad
Flashy,
What’s the difference between the US constitution and USSR constitution.
The Constitution consists of the Preamble, Articles 1-7, the signators and finally the Amendments. The first 10 were known as the Bill of Rights followed by 17 others. Maybe you should read it first before sticking your foot in your mouth, http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html
John
Jeep, Hitler was a conservative very devout catholic christian. Please see the following quote of his and keep in mind, that at the time it was written, Catholics believed that Jews where responsible for Christs death. This was preached every Sunday, and really driven home during the Easter celebration. They did this even in the 50s, i remember well, I was there.
Hitler said:
“I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the will and the work of the Lord.”
Although today many conservatives and Christians claim Hitler was neither, facts are facts, Hitler was a conservative christian and never changed a bid all the way to his death.
Anybody who believes otherwise needs to take a real history book and look at the facts…and don’t believe the christian apologist or conservative apologist that state otherwise because they are ashamed of their roots.
Brad
Hey John,
Hitler wasn’t a devout christian just the opposit, “National Socialism and religion cannot exist together…. The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity…. Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things”.
Also John, Hitler was more of a fanatic, he believed in National Socialism all the while thumbing his nose at christianity. He wasn’t conservative nor liberal, he was in his eye’s a purrist/racist wanting only for the german people. That from a man born in Austria.
DaveH
Flashman says “As you pasted “That is why the Constituion grants so few powers to goverment” Ummm..isn’t that what I said?”.
No, Flashman, you said “The Constitution isn’t written to protect us from government!”.
Can’t even keep track of your own BS anymore, Flashman?
Flashy
Brad….go and read the document will ya? And count the Rights specified. Count them.
Hint; There are Five Rights specifically stated within the Bill of Rights, seven altogether.
As to what I wrote about the Constitution not intending to protect us from government…it wasn’t. The basic premise of the Constitution is that government derives from Man. It was written to give government whatever power it has. The Constitution is not to protect us from government. It is meant to serve to delineate what power the People gave it. Plain and simple.

Really? 24 of 50 states currently have Republican govenors with a Republican led congress, and all are leading in job creation and growth. Not to mention the fact 10 states raised taxes last year and all are led by democrats. And, not one has positive job growth. For a prime example just look at Illinois, it is an empty shell just rotting from the inside, meanwhile it is surrounded by properous states. Good luck with your progressive mentality…in the real world it is a failure every time, and lying about it will not change truth.

Flashman, you said “The most educated, the wealthiest, the most bountiful states are where the Moderates and progressives are”.
Then you listed the top ten in wealth, and the top ten in education, but you failed to demonstrate that those conditions (if even true) had anything to do with them being Progressives.
Three of the states in the wealthiest you listed are Red States (Alaska, New Hampshire, and Virginia).
Three of the states in the educated citizenry are Red States (Colorado, New Hampshire, and Virginia).
Four of the states in the lists are in the top 10 for Budget Shortfalls (California, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Minnesota). So much for educated. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2011/01/14/10-states-with-the-largest-budget-shortfalls

One poster wrote:”Obama is the latest in a line of sock puppets to misslead Americans, destroy the constitution, erase our language, borders and culture to bing in world communism.”
I say: Yes, there is a movement which has been going on patiently for many years to make the world a one nation, one government. Europe is a great example of the follie of such a movement by the current conditions there, “putting all your eggs in one basket” is a good way to break them all if the basket falls, well people, in Europe, the basket fell and they are in a terrible bind. There are no seperate states/countries which has the necessary funds to rescue this communist venture.
AMERICA is now in the grips of such a mistake and obozo is the next to last “sock-puppet” to place America in the same grips as Europe is now in, hag hillary will be the final nail in the coffin of America if she is elected president (and make no mistake, she IS waiting in the wings to be called). The saddest thing is that it looks (to me) like we have a large number of republicans in congress who are going along with the NWO/OWG plan. The biggest mistake Americans have made in the last three years was electing obozo as president, especially not knowing anything about him and his posture of hiding everything and anything about himself, political correctness of hiring a black person, as it is, turns out to be the dumbest thing that could have been done…..I DARE any person out there who hires for a company to admit they would have hired obozo and if they would what type of position would they hire him for—-and don’t say Dogcatcher, I used to be one…….I will accept a response of “community clown” (sorry clowns, to disrespect you).
DaveH
I’m really ambivalent as to whether Obama is the biggest mistake or not. If McCain had been elected, he would, no doubt, have built the Government much more slowly and undetectably than Obama has done. And the majority of Americans would probably still be Ignorant about the Constitution, and would still be cheering on their favorite team, instead of recognizing that most Politicians (Dems or Repubs) strive for Power and don’t give a damn about the Constitution.
So, while it was certainly accidental, Obama has clumsily awakened Americans like never before in our history.
Flashy
It wasn’t accidental DaveH. It was a needed awakening showing the war waged against Middle Class America since 1980. And America is starting to fight back and regain what has been lost…dignity, self respect, pride, social cohesion and barrier-free intermixing between the classes.
The Moderates, Progressives, all are taking back America to return it to the greatness it once was, to hold forth the promise it had.
So go sit in the corner and whine. It’s obvious you and the far right don’t want to rebuild this Nation. So sit down, quit yappin’, and let Americans rebuild America.

This guy Flashy and all of his cohorts just don’t get it that both political parties are the problem and that we need to sort out and research exactly who we are voting for. Their voting records and speeches over the years are very obvious ways of revealing just where they stand on each and every issue. But to just state that these guys (all Republicans) hate the middle class, and these guys(all Democrats) love the middle class, is just by its own merit illogical. If one accepts everything at face value and never researches anything to examine the motives of politicians—-God help us all!! Goes to show how easily people are hypnotized and influenced by control freaks. Question all of our leaders from the city council all the way up to Washington D.C. and let them know that we are smart enough to see right through their manipulative ways. The only honest statesmen that I can recognize running for the Presidency is Dr. Ron Paul and to a lesser extent, the ex-governor of New Mexico, Mr. Gary Johnson. Both of them believe in less government intrusion in our lives and more individual liberty and free enterprise to alleviate our economic woes.

It’s getting harder, NC, to get would-be kings out of the Whitehouse because the Leaders have successfully bought almost half of the populations’ votes with other peoples’ money.
Once the Leaders have gained absolute power and no longer need the votes of the useful idiots, they will use you for cannon fodder or target practice. The people, who they have made dependent on Big Government, will suffer the most since they will have few if any skills on which to survive on their own.

Obama is the latest in a line of sock puppets to misslead Americans, destroy the constitution, erase our language, borders and culture to bing in world communism.
ARE Americans practicing Communism?
Read the 10 Planks of The Communist Manifesto to discover the truth and learn how to know your enemy…
Karl Marx describes in his communist manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power, so as to effect a communist socialist state. Those ten steps are known as the Ten Planks of The Communist Manifesto… The following brief presents the original ten planks within the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart for each of the planks. From comparison it’s clear MOST Americans have by myths, fraud and deception under the color of law by their own politicians in both the Republican and Democratic and parties, been transformed into Communists.
Another thing to remember, Karl Marx in creating the Communist Manifesto designed these planks AS A TEST to determine whether a society has become communist or not. If they are all in effect and in force, then the people ARE practicing communists.
Communism, by any other name is still communism, and is VERY VERY destructive to the individual and to the society!!
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are…
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State “income” taxes. We call it “paying your fair share”.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public “law” 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of “terrorists” and those who speak out or write against the “government” (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc…).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver’s licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read “controlled or subsidized” rather than “owned”… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two “income” family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920′s, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public “law” 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call ‘public’ schools, but are actually “government force-tax-funded schools ” Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based “Education” . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like “majority rules”, and “pay your fair share”. WHERE are the words “fair share” in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is “fair share” even suggested !! The philosophical concept of “fair share” comes from the Communist maxim, “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. … America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC … Teaching ourselves and others how to “fish” to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be “needy”… Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.
Do changing words, change the end result? … By using different words, is it all of a sudden OK to ignore or violate the provisions or intent of the Constitution of the united States of America?????
The people (politicians) who believe in the SOCIALISTIC and COMMUNISTIC concepts, especially those who pass more and more laws implementing these slavery ideas, are traitors to their oath of office and to the Constitution of the united States of America… KNOW YOUR ENEMY …Remove the enemy from within and from among us.
…
None are more hopelessly enslaved, as those who falsely believe they are free….
Let us REMOVE THE COMMUNISTS SOCIALIST DESTROYERS FROM OFFICE!
I miss Glenn! I wish some network would put him back on prime time!!!

Maybe Freedonfighter could explain to us dummies a seeming contradiction? One of the planks of communism is abolition of private property. On that one plank alone,how would we be called communist? We have private property. Ted Turner alone owns millions of acres of land,rivers,lakes,mountains. All wealthy people own property,and most own a lot. Even average people own a home and sometimes more land. How does that make us communist? You will say that the gov’t owns more land in parks and preserves…maybe,but that’s so they are protected from rampant exploitation and for the use of all citizens,rich and poor. You will say that the EPA and other regulatory won’t let you do absolutely anything you want w/ your land…true,for some very important areas,but it’s a small minority of cases,to say the least. Just because someone owns a piece of land that shouldn’t mean he can destroy it.
You people are extremists and take only extreme positions that seldom apply to a modern,connected world.
Chris Schilke
That ones easy denniso, you can’t own something you can’t keep and you can’t keep property unless you pay your rent…I mean property taxes. Not even Ten Turner can keep his land if he can’t pay the rent. Private ownership in this country became a myth the day they passed property tax laws. And just think, they did that on the grounds of supporting the local state run brain washing institutions we call schools so that the ignorant will continue to keep things like property taxes in place all on the grounds of “paying our fair share”.
http://al@bellaproducts.com al metcalf
If you really believe that we have “private ownership of Property, just stop paying the taxes on yours” and see what happens. If someone has the power to force you to pay for the use of something, then they are the true owners of the object. Regardless of the lie you tell yourself.
Even your labor is not your own, for you are taxed on the results of your labor, and that tax is given to someone else who refuses to labor for the master. Who is the fool in this socialist charade? None of the above is within the Constitution of this Nation…

yes this may be true but even the very rich have limts and will eventually run out of money and lands themselfs so knowing this where do you think they will look for it next?THE MIDDLE CLASS also to note as well the only ones rich in a socialist system are the party members themselfs this is why it did not work in the soviet union

I beg to differ denniso, Property Taxes – I have always said you never really own anything. And where I live I can’t even license a my taxed car until I prove to them I have paid them. If I fail to pay my real estate tax they confiscate it even though I was one who paid for it.

I don’t care for property tax either,but we wouldn’t have to have it if we were willing to pay a bit more in state income tax or sales tax. The original idea was that property owners were the better off people who could afford it. Why don’t we have a national movement to get rid of any property tax for people under $75,000/yr,or $100,000? We make up for it w/ higher income tax to pay for schools,which benefit the whole country,even if one’s kids are home schooled. How much worse off would we all be if we had even higher numbers of uneducated kids? Not everyone has the ability or time to educate their kids,so we provide schooling for all to benefit the whole country…job skills,prison incarceration rates,crime,murder.
Daniel
Did you actually read this article, or the replies to your comment?
denniso
Freedomfighter listed the ‘planks’ of communism,one of them being the lack of private property,w/ his implication being that we are increasingly communist. I addressed that point of his and suggested that we do have private property so how is it that we are communist. Got it?
Now to the complaints about property tax essentially nullifying our private property rights. Our economy, and religion almost, is capitalism…everything has a price and everything costs money. Why would it be any different w/ private property? It takes money to have it and money to keep it. If you have plenty of money you have more freedom than someone w/ little. If you need good healthcare then you’d better have money or an expensive insurance policy. Taxes help support the system that guarantees you can be prosperous and relatively safe and protected from invasion and criminals. Taxes that go to schools help minimize the number of kids who turn to crime and victimize the better off people in our society. That’s why we pay taxes,ideally to improve the entire country so that most people can enjoy the fruits of their labor.
If you want no taxes,even property taxes,move to Somalia and pay extortion money to bandits and criminals just so you can stay alive,and also have to pay out large sums of your money to private security militias to protect your property.

Do any of us truly own our land? Aren’t we forced to continue paying for it to the government through property taxes? When we die our heirs have to pay an inheritance tax on it. Some land is even “owned” with the exception of mineral rights. Some people even go so far as to “own” properties governed by home owners associations that dictate what color you can paint your house, what plants you can plant, etc… How is any of this true ownership? Recently the city within which I live tried to re-zone our area to lite industrial, what that meant was no additions to our homes, no building of additional buildings, no replacement of homes if they were over 50% destroyed. If we had not been on our toes where would we be? My state is attempting to purchase millions of acres to be managed by a program called forever wild. I ask, what authority gives the state the right to own this land and manage it for us? All of these things are being done “for the greater good”. I think not.

wow, a lot of tired platitudes from the birchers & other scare-mongers from the 50′s & 60′s. Zoning laws implemented by citizens and minimum wages & public schools are the protectors of the working classes of America. These attacks against the American people while pretending to be about saving us from the commies are really carefully worded attacks to get the working class to rid themselves of the protections that they have against the plutocrats & their intent to enslave the middle class. Without zoning laws, business regulations & education we will return to the feudal system of medieval Europe which our founding fathers created this nation to escape. Ignore the rants of these economic royalists & preserve the laws & systems our grandparents established to give us a chance at the American dream. Anything else is treason, at best…

Tony says “wow, a lot of tired platitudes from the birchers & other scare-mongers from the 50′s & 60′s. Zoning laws implemented by citizens and minimum wages & public schools are the protectors of the working classes of America”.
Scare-mongers, Tony? That’s funny. Those warning of the Russian Communists’ takeover of China were similarly attacked in the 40s as being extremists and fear-mongers. Just a few years later the Russian sponsored Communists did indeed take over China.
Zoning laws impose the aesthetic wills of a handful of elected and appointed officials on the people who actually own the property. Their choices be damned, they only paid for the property.
Minimum wages protect the working people? You’re right about that one, Tony, but the non-workers who would like to have a job are priced out of the market. Why should you care, as long as you have yours, Compassionate Liberal?
The Public Schools have become little more than Propaganda Machines to dumb our kids down so they become good little Central Government worshipers. As long as the Leaders have their Power and Perks, who cares about the kids, right Tony? I mean never mind that our students have become the laughing stocks of the world.

Tony says “These attacks against the American people while pretending to be about saving us from the commies are really carefully worded attacks to get the working class to rid themselves of the protections that they have against the plutocrats & their intent to enslave the middle class”.
That’s funny, Tony, because the last I heard it’s the Liberals who want more Government Spending. And we all know where Government gets its money. Yep, that’s right, from us middle class slaves.
And it’s the Liberals who want to force their personal choices on the rest of us.
1) The Liberals want to dictate our speech (political correctness), our smoking habits, our eating habits.
2) The Liberals want to dictate our energy choices. Even down to telling us which light bulbs to use.
3) They want to force us to piously separate our garbage into numerous recyclable piles, which if really economical would be done free by private companies.
4) Liberals want to force their health care insurance choices on us. Their excuse being that they don’t want to pay for us when we get ill. But why would they have to pay for our illness? Oh yeah, because the Liberals forced that on us.
5) They want to tell us who we can hire and fire in our own businesses which we built with our own hard-earned money, while they partied with theirs.
6) Liberals want to dictate the usage of our own property because an endangered rat or tiny fish might become extinct, things that only they care about, but we better care too or else.
Clearly, the Liberals are the ones who want to Enslave us, not the other way around.

FF,
All that you have posted is true – absolutely. But many people can’t seem to see the difference between the “Progressives” and the “Communists/Marxists”. In reality they are one and the same. Yet the Progressives have been working this through is a much more gradual manner than the Marxists. The Marxist/Communists prefer armed revolutions whereas the Progressives prefer to take the Socialist route – isn’t that quite evident in the EU? Again, very good info you have posted for many to see, read and hopefully understand . Those that can’t get a grip on it will undoubtedly be in the “useful idiot” category.

Sirian, when is the Matxist effect of the Progressives going to start to have a bad effect on our counrtry? Right after we get over the “effect” of the rightwing effect of gorge w, bush and his 08 recession??
To see just how “bad”(?) the Progressive Democrats have been to our free market society see “bulls, bears, donkeys and elephants” and/or “Presidents and Prosperity” at Forbes.com. It appears to me that ‘trickle down” is more of a threat to our economy than Progressives have ever been. What do yo think now that you have seen those charts???They are “facts and figures” so they may be confusing to conservatives!Stuff you won’t see or hear on Faux Noise!

George Bush was not a good president, AND I NEVER SAID HE WAS. HOWEVER, THIS LEFT-WING APPROACH TO SPEND IT ALL AND GET ALL THE FREE STUFF, IS NOT GOING TO LAST LONG. LOOK AT GREECE. I WILL GIVE YOU A PASS, BECAUSE I KNOW DEMOCRATS DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION FOR FREE SPEECH AND YOU CERTAINLY DON’T HAVE ANY BRAINS.

denniso
And then we have DaveH….the guy who thinks that his rightwing web sites offer credible ‘proof’ for his extreme and simplistic ‘libertarian’ views on the world. I’ve tried to get him to understand that it takes more than a couple rightwing biased sources to come up w/ any sort of truth,to no avail. I decided that he’s beyond hope,and is so stuck in his own confirmation bias that he can’t see outside it. A confirmation bias is what most humans fall into if they don’t work hard to avoid it…adhering to a set of beliefs that ‘feel’ good and supporting those beliefs w/ rationalizations and hypocrisy,rather than investigating and digging deeper than what makes us comfortable. We can be born w/ the beliefs,stumble upon them accidentally and then immerse ourselves in them,or just casually and easily latch onto them and never really examine them.
It’s essentially the definition of being an extremist, when we won’t look outside our own little belief system,almost continually,but instead hold viciously to one narrow set of ideas. DaveH isn’t alone in doing this,since most people do it,and it does take courage and work to avoid the pitfall…so I’ve decided to be nicer to people like DaveH,not to mention most rightwingers on this site,because,like children, they really have little control over their minds. We who have avoided this fate should be a bit more tolerant just as we have to be w/ less educated/enlightened people in general. I can only hope that some daylight will creep in to the minds of people like DaveH,but I won’t expect to see it happen anytime soon.

I was making a point about what most people do w/ confirmation bias,you included,assuming you are human. We all can fall into it and to deny it is how we stay stuck in it. I worked through the problem yrs ago,and still fight it almost daily. Most rightwingers don’t fight it at all and only revel in their biases,so they stay stuck and can’t learn since they think they know everything already…the surest sign that they really don’t know much.

It’s one area the Far Right can’t hack Clarence…facts. you’ll be asked for sources til you’re blue in the face. It’s a favorite tactic of theirs. Too lazy for reality checks. The other is post a link without actually reading what they linked to.
My favorite was a post which called Barry Goldwater a Liberal … and no one said a word. Amazing ain’t it?
DaveH
The problem is, Clarence, that you’ve listed only one President that was close to Conservative (Reagan) and I’m not so sure about him. To his credit, he at least talked the good talk, but was overrun by Democrats and even Republicans in his own party.
You need to get yourself out of the Republican/Democrat paradigm and wake up to the fact that there are Progressives in both parties. And they are enemies of our Freedom.

Facts are not your strong suit, Flashman. It’d be best for you to not bring up that subject.

Leave it to a libtard to leave out the slick willy clinton years (8). it is a know fact that liberals are commies in disguise. My dad was a democrat. If he were alive today I would be safe in saying he would move over to the conservative point of view after he discovered how his beloved democrap party has been taken over by the commies. He fought in WWII and came to despise our so called russian allies for the depsicable cowards that they are.
Marlene
“1980-2009 =20 YEARS OF SO-CALLED CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENTS”
Would you care to do a little fact checking here, Clarence? Fact of the matter is, Clinton was first sworn into the Presidencey on January 20, 1993 and served 8 years so you’re all wet with that phony statement. The country probably would’ve been far better off if it had, indeed, had Conservative Presidents at the helm for 20 consecutive years but you’re trying to blow smoke up our backsides in order to blame Willy’s sins on someone else. One more thing, during his time in office Willy sent the morals of this country into the sewer because people figured, “If Bill C. can do it and his wife condones his actions, why can’t we get away with it too?” Yep, you Liberals are sooooo good for this country – NOT!
Thinking About
Marlene, you almost got it right until I did the math and found he was referring to 28 years if history and took out the 8 years you stated of Clinton years and guess what, it left 20 years of Republican administration.

Freedom Fighter, you are an even worst propagandist and fantasy-monger than Marx. You distort the reality of U.S. society to fit all these platforms. And in overreaching you make ludicrous assertions that don’t stand up to reality. Of course you don’t make these assertions yourself, you simply cut and pasted them from another nutso site. (can’t you even come up with any original analysis of your own besides parroting libertarian blogs and slogans?)
There is no abolition of private property in the United States. You own plenty of private property and so does everyone else on this site. There is no government control of all industry, business, and commerce in the United States as in Cuba and North Korea. The state does not own our media as they do in Cuba and North Korea. There are lots of private schools, religious schools, and home schooling here which negates a gov’t monopoloy on education. There is no abolition of all rights of inheritance in the United States. Millions of people leave their homes, property, stocks, bonds, and bank accounts to their children every year and will for centuries to come. I could go on and on shooting down all of Marx’s points as they DO NOT relate to America but what’s the use. True believers (like Marxists by the way) only believe their own narrow ideology and all of the fantasies connected to it. What you have pasted here is a complete distortion loaded with false comparisons.

Chris Schilke
Really Mark? You can own property? Since when? They can kick you off of it if you don’t pay them the rent in the form of taxes. Doesn’t sound like we own it if we can’t keep it without paying for it. Property taxes are only another form of wealth distribution from the poor to the rich. I admit that. But, we don’t own it so what does it matter?
eddie47d
Move to a country that doesn’t have taxes Chris. Opps,there isn’t any! That home or car is still mine and I can sell it to anyone I want to and if the new buyer is willing to pay taxes on it then it is his.
mark
There is no property tax in Cuba and North Korea. But I think you would discover some other problems if you lived there instead of in the United States. Taxation and the right to own property are two separate issues. Property tax is in fact a hallmark of the capitalist system. All capitalist societies and many pre-capitalist ones have taxed property. This tradition existed long before societies decided to tax income. All the Founding Slaveholders for instance paid property taxes both before and after the American Revolution. They accepted this tax and for that reason never placed any prohibitions against it in the 1787 Constitution. If you think you are going to live in a society with zero taxes, you are yearning for a utopia that has never existed in all of human, let alone U.S., history. But that is actually pretty typical for this website. Dream on. But it ain’t gonna happen. Like a Ron Paul presidency.
DaveH
Odd to hear an Egalitarian Liberal accusing Conservatives of being Utopian. Do you think you’re kidding anybody, Mark?
And what do you have against Ron Paul?
Aren’t the Liberals the ones who cried for years about the Republican Drug Wars, and the overseas Wars, and Republican efforts to deny Gays the right to marry? Etc., Etc.?
About all I can think of that Ron Paul wouldn’t give you is other peoples’ money. But then, that’s the real issue, isn’t it, Mark?
Chris Schilke
Wow, looks like you did your homework. My dad is 86 and I asked him if he could remember the Federal Government being an active part of his life and he said no. Ignorant people make horrible ignorant decisions and you’re right, the state owned and operated schools systems are the one of the biggest businesses in this country and they do turn out robots. Years ago I watched my son’s graduation ceremony and thought just that as they filed into the stadium to neatly take their seats and then sit on cue at same time.
I see this thing like it’s a giant water balloon. It’s just waiting to burst and then everything inside will disperse then it’ll take a while before some more ignorant people can come along and fill one up again. Does anyone out there really believe you can undo the knot in the balloon so that you can empty it of it’s three million plus strangling laws? I don’t believe you can save that balloon but, anything’s possible even if not probable.
And taxes, well, we might need some kind of taxation to keep a country running, but, like you point out the taxes we have now are only a way to keep the common man working for the state in order to pay their rents (property taxes). More ignorant people accepting the their poison one tiny does at a time…or is it more like slowly turning up the heat on a pan of water with a frog in it or is it like adding one tiny drop of water at a time to our water balloon?
Chris Schilke
I meant Dose and not does. I usually proof better than that.

Chris, did you ask your dad where he would rather have spent any part of his 86 years? And if he did live elsewhere did he get more protection of his property and rights for his tax dollars?

Freedom Fighter, getting these people out of office will not be easy, maybe impossible. They have the main stream news media on their side, all of the 47% that don’t pay any tax at all, labor union leaders and the so called civil rights leaders. Most voters don’t study the issues, they believe the media and who is best looking in the debates. People that belong in any one or more of these groups vote in lock step with their leaders. Things that were not mentioned were control health care,the media and gun control. They control health care, the media and are working on gun control.
