– I voted for Obama. I had good intentions and great hope. I don’t pay attention to people who say:
a) I didn’t do my research
b) I’m stupid
c) I’m a liberal (or a conservative)
2 – I think what I believe; and what I believe is:
a) Obama went the wrong way.
b) We’re not going to recover economically until we stumble all the way down.
c) We might be getting suckered into a form of one-world-order slavery.
d) We might be about to lose our rights to protest and petition (or else pay for them with our lives).
e) Every politician in Washington is in on the game Republican and Democrat alike.
3 – I’m a rounder, but I’m smart about it. So far, I have decided these three things:
a) Martin Luther King knew how to confront a government without getting everyone killed.
b) We need to find powerful, non-combative ways not to cooperate with what we think is wrong.
c) We need to be good neighbors.
4 – I’m networking for comments. Some of you will be too scared to comment. Others will want to excoriate me. Others will think they’ve won an ideological battle with me. None of that will change the facts:
a) Obama went the wrong way.
b) We’re not going to recover economically until we stumble all the way down.
c) We might be getting suckered into a form of one-world-order slavery.
d) We might be about to lose our rights to protest and petition (or else pay for them with our lives).
e) Every politician in Washington is in on the game, Republican and Democrat alike.
f) We need to do something about these things.
5 – How do we handle these facts?
a) I didn’t do my research

After 8 years of George Bush and the Republicans destroying our economy, I'm willing to give Barack Obama and the Democrats the benefit of the doubt. We didn't get into this mess overnight and we won't climb out of it overnight either. I'll reserve judgement on whether or not he's succeeding at least until midterm. That's my view anyway.View thread

I too, believe the stage is being set to establish a one gov't world. What exactly can be done about it, I don't know. I agree with you that we should protest in a legal non violent manner, but people do need to speak up.
To Be Named" I'll check on this, because I've read you before and I remember thinking I wanted your input in the group.
I hope when you get the invitation, you'll come check us out and then invite all your friends as well. Thanks for the comment.

I'm not at all bitter by who won the election. I believed that whoever was elected into office would be confronted with many challenges. I hoped for the best, and now am nervous for my future, and the future of my family. I'm also a firm believer that if the government leaves our free market alone, that those companies unable to succeed will file chapter 13, restructure and be profitable once again (or fail giving other companies the opportunity to become more than what they currently are). Either way, we NEED this depression. We NEED deflation. And we need to get back to our fundamental roots.
The questions we need to be asking are: what are "We The People" going to do about it, how, and what will the effects be? Think cause and effect. Personally, I take time out every week to write to my congressman and senators expressing politely what my fears are of the effects of the bills they vote on, and the logic behind what will be happening. I personally believe if all voters would take it upon themselves to figure out what is going on and write to their politicians about what they want to see in office, we would be in much better shape without jeopardizing our freedoms and rights. WE need to stand up and demand to be listened to. Remember, politicians work f...

Prepare for our economic situation to get worse. All government intervention is going to do is slow the rate of decline. At this rate, we wont be hitting rock bottom until approximately the year 2012 (according to economists on Fox News).

Is the economy going to get fixed? YES, just not this second.
Are we ever going to have health care, good jobs, a roof over our heads? YES, just not this second.
You're obviously a smart woman, and I appreciate the links you sent me. One link was no longer available, and the HD video did not tell me anything I haven't heard before.... BALONY... pure and simple.
When Bush got in (2000), I started saving $$$ like crazy. I had lived through Reaganomics before. And like my Pop said, the right time to save $$$ is when times are good. But I knew enough about History what was coming up. It was just an intuitive sense of nesting that painful lessons poverty taught me during the '80's.
I don't get those feelings with this President. And, if an Cum Laude Graduate, Law Professor, Square Family Man isn't good enough, then what do we really want? More of the same from the last 8-years?
Everything will get better. I get all my news from Associated Press email alerts... just the facts, without the fear-peddling, hate-mongering, death-threatening media hogs trying to capture your attention long enough so you hear the advertisement following.
You're smarter than that. We all are. Delayed Gratification is the new vogue...

You're smarter than that. We all are. Delayed Gratification is the new vogue. Let's put responsibility where it belongs, understand where we are as a country, and it's going to take more than a second. Nothing worth having is without good works.
THANXS!!!
Here's something you might want for future reference. Take care of yourself. You're a beautiful, walking piece of art, along with being a beautiful young woman. So take care of yourself.
The MIAC report specifically describes supporters of presidential candidates Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, and Bob Barr as “militia” influenced terrorists and instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties.

MIAC is part of the federal “fusion” effort now underway around the country. “As of February 2009, there were 58 fusion centers around the country
Last month, the ACLU issued a news release highlighting the activity of a fusion center in Texas as the “latest example of inappropriate police intelligence operations targeting political, religious and social activists for investigation,” in particular “Muslim civil rights organizations and anti-war protest groups.”
MIAC notes many of the political issues cited by the so-called patriot movement — the Ammunition Accountability Act, the impending economic collapse of the government, the possibility of a constitutional convention, the North American Union, Obama’s “Universal Service Program,” and the implementation of RFID, issues that are not limited to the patriot movement but are shared by a wide array of political activists.
The MIAC document includes a map of the North American Union not dissimilar from one released by NASCO, the North America SuperCorridor Coalition (see the NASCO map here).
In order to artificially heighten the perceived threat threshold, MIAC rolls in Christian Identity, white nationalism, “militant” anti-abortion activists, opposition to illegal immigration, and income tax resistance. MIAC deceptively blurs the lines between these disparate political ideologies and underscores the possibility for violence in a summary of the organizational structure of the militia movement and a section describing how members strive to train in “combat readiness.”
COMMENT: I won't be carrying a gun when I march on Washington. But I will be in sight of the whole world. And there are only 125 of them in the Whole World. So remember your history and do the math, because here I come.

MIAC is attempting to radicalize the police against political activity guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
People might be scared enough to think that they are going to go armed into Washington, but I've made it clear, when I come to Washington, it won't be with a gun. That does not mean that the conspirators against this democracy won't face prosecution. And the conspirators, at least some of them, are named in the video.
Go to youtube and search Obama Deception, if you have not watched the full length version and if you want the information. They literally could have named it the Bush Deception and said the same thing. I'm going to continue to do what I have been doing for years - sharing information. And when the time comes, I will be going to Washington. Barack Obama lied. Plain and simple. But this has very little to do with him - not any more to do with him than it does George Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan.

Let me ask you something? Do you think that Washington agrees with what you said about restricting free trade, respecting the working class, allowing prosperity, that we are not infallible, that we need to free ourselves from the needs of other countries?
Look at this: “Main Street has to understand, unless we get these banks moving again, then we can’t get this economy to recover... " He said that on 60 minutes. And it's not a practical statement, in fact, it defies practicality; and you know it does.
Even though this is going to hurt, the alternative has the potential to be 300 million times worse.
So, since you understand that Wasington does not agree with you, and since you now have plenty of evidence that Barack doesn't either... ??
Okay, so Obama is paralyzed. So you're saying that the whole nation is paralyzed by some crooks. And you're also saying that noone in Washington agrees with you on what should be done. Even though you know that you are being practical.
And no amount of allowing a president to be paralyzed is going to change that. It's going to happen, no matter what.
The people whom you say have too much to personally lose by doing the practical and honorable, that's pretty short-sighted of them, considering the impending primacy.
So, are you up for some quiet time? Because that's what it's going to take to get the extortionists off our President's back. Don't think I'm excited about it. Just practical.
We didn't do this to ourselves. But just like every other bad thing that happens, we're responsible for how it affects us as well as what we do about it.
I hate to see it happen, but that is why we need to be ready. I dont see it on the horizon yet. It will be here in our lifetime I think. I have to maintain hope for the sake of my boys future.
Your hip to what I think.......we need to be individually prepared the worst. Commune living will rule the day
AIG's been called out. Now it's up to us to keep the pressure on until Barack and Congress stop swallowing their line of bull about what we can and cannot do for ourselves. But even that doesn't matter because we are going to take care of ourselves no matter how the politicians handle AIG. When, not if, but when they fail, (AIG and the politicians) then we will take care of ourselves like I said.
The founders said to protect ourselves with a militia; (and no, I don't mean children) but not before we protect and uphold democracy by example.
