+6I disagree with the narrator's conclusion that candidates have an obligation to "get up to speed" on national security issues. If a candidate has never even heard of CAIR, they have no business being a candidate. Tutoring at this stage of the game means they do not have a legitimate concern over national security issues and they would make a lousy president.
I don't know how much Gary Johnson knows about foreign affairs, now do I care. What I care about is liberty, freedom, integrity, honesty. President Johnson is a quick learner - he can learn all about foreign affairs as soon as he gets into office. I daresay, that Ronald Reagan, republican icon, nor Bill Clinton, democrat icon, and definitely Barack Obama, a democrat god, knew a heck of a lot about foreign affairs before they took office. I dare say precious few people do - it has always been my belief that Presidents feel their way re foreign affairs anyway. Back to Gary. He was a great governor, wants small government, possesses integrity and intelligence. I'll believe this tape when I know it came from a reliable source.
Here's a speech Reagan made in 1983, about two years into his first term:

Johnson is right - Iran doesn't have an aBomb as yet, and from what limited knowledge is available, we don't know how long that might be.
Then there is always the matter of "balance", and the count is USA 5000, Iran 0. IF we wished, Iran could become glass overnight. Thank gosh that nobody proposes THAT!
America HAS the means for self-defense, and that must be maintained. We can probably be very okay without using our monstrous offense, and we certainly don't need more debt to go that direction by such as attacking Iran. They are little more than a paper tiger at this point, mostly foolish noise.
Let us hope that if there should be another 9-11, our leaders will know who is responsible before starting another "war", and go directly to the cause rather than entangling America for another decade or more.
Time to quit wasting time and get serious about firing Obama. As badly as I hate to say it, a vote for anyone other than Romney is going to get Obama that much closer to winning again. Ideals aside, that is reality and we had better grow up and accept it or BO is going to get another 4 years and this Nation is doomed.
What we need to concentrate on now is making sure the Conservatives win the Senate and gain majority in the State races.That will make far more headway than any single man in the W.H. (except Obama)
first is plain survival with who KNOWS how many scenarios there might be
then comes the big question - are we really going to do this to ourselves all over again?
In other words, being born in America now means you must allow yourself to be subject to laws that control what you do 24/7 and if you decide to opt out of that, you owe the government every dime you have before they will let you leave. That's why I am currently working on dual citizenship....I can't afford to leave this country for a safer place without taking the responsibility to pay the government their due with me no matter where in the world I am or where the income is actually made. That is nothing short of lifetime slavery.
By comparison, King George was a very generous fellow indeed.
Americans have completely forgotten what freedom is. The old boil the frog by starting him out in cold water trick has worked like a charm.
Since everyone is playing with fiat money, there is little available in the form of real solutions. We'll all be paying the price for allowing any of the silliness over the years.
Just a quick example. The crash in 2008 allowed the transfer of nearly 200 trillion dollars of bad debt that was held by the banks to our government. The greatest transfer of wealth in human history is happening as we speak and there is not a politician on earth that can stop it, nor are they even going to actually try because they have sold their souls to the bankers.
There is a huge difference between optimism and accepting reality. The former makes you feel good right now, the latter allows you to make lucid plans for coming events that are inevitable and completely out of your control.
Unfortunately, this is nothing new.
I think this is about as accurate as it gets in relation to man's history.....
"Tytler, an 18th century Scottish thinker, observed that the average age of the world’s great civilizations is about 200 years. They go, he said, “from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, and from dependence back into bondage.”
It's not hard to see where we are in that progression.
I have come to truly believe that humans were a flawed experiment. Throughout history they have chosen or been forced to be Ruled. It seems really odd that they chose other same-humans to Rule them. Then we get to our own situation, we didn't chose this, our ancestors chose it for us, and never have we consented.
I've brought to my website some from Russell Longcore (DumpDC.com) which makes much sense to me:

His points are correct from a legal standpoint. Your comment about oaths is also interesting since I swore an oath to a document that I never signed nor approved in any way.
I suppose this is all pretty much a moot point since the document in question is being ignored completely anyway. Food for thought though...
As far as human behavior is concerned, the vast majority of the World's population does seek to be ruled. That is evidenced by popularity of religions that offer no proof of anything but require obedience every second of every day. That is the ultimate form of mind police in that all of the sects that I am familiar with go so far as making it a sin to even think about transgressing without ever actually committing the infraction.
And yet..... people willing volunteer submission by the millions and it makes them feel better because their life is no longer in their complete control.
No wonder I have never fit in with the society as a whole. In terms of living in America, I have always maintained that I was born 200 years too late.
But then............the Redcoats thought that too!
None will be any fun at all. We are somewhat in control of all but collapse. Try this:

Millions are going to starve to death or be killed trying not to. It's going to be ugly. Me? I have learned the skills to literally walk into the woods naked and survive quite comfortably. Since I live in the woods to start with, the world is going to have to fix itself since I will be but a ghost in the shadows.
Our ancestors survived for thousands of years without the modern conveniences we have. The skills to do so are almost lost but one can still learn if they desire.
At least the planet we live on can start healing herself from all the damage we have done to her in the name of profit.
The sad truth is that many are going to die very quickly. It will be natural selection at it's finest. Many of the ones we with argue with on venues like this one will be the first to go. Completely clueless as to what's happening around them.
The NWO folks have one argument that is very hard to deny if one looks at things with a very cold heart. Part of the plan is to kill or let die about 90% of the population that are useless eaters. It is no secret that our planet is overrun with too many people that contribute nothing other than to consume soon to be priceless resources. Even without a human induced crises, that situation is going to take care of itself through starvation. The earth can support about 1 billion people without petro chemical farming. There are 7 billion of us now. The population is unsustainable now and yet we are adding about 200k people per day. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the future of that scenario.
This will sound sick to many, but my family and I are as prep...

This will sound sick to many, but my family and I are as prepared as it is possible to get. Am I scared of the future? Not really. Mankind has screwed things up so completely, there is no other option but a complete reset. At least we are not going to be surprised.
Compromise covers a huge spectrum, and our system, our Constitution and our Rulers tend to Force so many compromises upon us all. That is done by removing your choices and my choices from their "list of options". It could be much better than it is, but not so long as Force is our way of life!
How do the likes of Allen West, Jim DeMint, Ron Paul, Steve Pearce and other honest elected officials (who are a small minority by the way) compromise with theives? How? Pelosi, Ried, Waters, Barney Frank, even the McCains and Boehners? The latter are driven by their chronies in their pockets and their propensity towards their own career rather than what is right for the country. Unfortunately what drives them has been out of sync with what's best for our country for DECADES, thus the mess and mire we are in today.
The pulling together needs to come from the citizenry to take back the liberties and freedoms and pare back the government to a much, much smaller state.
