A word to the so-called elites in NeverNever Land.....they're called 'rednecks' because they WORK in the sun all day instead of living off the taxpayers.
I live in Australia, and have a very objective view on the whole 9/11 conspiracy thing. I think that some members in the government must have helped out somewhere along the lines for such a peculiar chain of events. I know there is no way the entirety wouldn't have, but there is clearly too many gaps and loop wholes in the whole thing...
Terrorists aren't countries, they're individuals. A country didn't attack us on 9/11, fear-mongered, propagandized terrorists attacked us. Maybe no country has become an official enemy of the state as of late, but that don't mean we don't have a LOT more enemies now then we did before the Dark Ages (aka the second Bush Administration).
Too late, mate. China's been storming ahead by being the West's electronic landfill and by exporting stuff made for lower costs due to no minimum wage. No amount of oil - which is going to run out sooner rather than later - is likely to remove the global dependency on China's exports.
I think its important to note that the US loans money from the Chinese to maintain its empire building. Its not just a couple of bucks either...its billions of dollars. Research it.

No, asshat. Gun control? The second fucking amendment? Liberals are for it. Anti-war koombaiya everybody hold hands? Liberals are for it. Sounds good, doesn't it? It's not going to happen, and it's going to ruin this country.
I'm in Europe and nobody except the insane thinks that are Americans are bad or evil.
However, if you are standing by and watching your constitution getting trashed and your leaders running roughshod over the wishes of the people then you have to take responsibility.
Isn't America "Of the people, by the people and for the people". I think the Founding Fathers of your great nation meant that to literally mean: You are your Government.
We are our Government in the sense that we elect fellow citizens who are liars and make it sound like they intend to respect our wishes, that they are one of "us". Their motivations are far from ours. And when these officials select Supreme Court Justices that represent their party beliefs and not common sense, as our Constitution was based on, what do you propose we do? These are not elected officials.
Well for one you can protest. In great number. Dissent is encouraged by the constitution. There is a steady and insidious erosion to your constitution perpertrated by your "elected" officials. Set a cap on campaign funding. Repeal the patriot act. Stop getting caught ip in partisan bickering while the crooks (Dem and Rep) get away with it.
Partisanship in America is a deflection encouraged by the powers.
And the SCOTUS cannot impinge on the sanctity of the constitution. The last thing you should be thinking is that you are helpless in the face of bureaucrats. You have a voice and it is empowered by the constitution. That wonderful document will save your asses in the long run. It is your duty as a citizen to voice your criticism of your officials. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yes, and we have people who organize marches and amongst these groups are subgroups that appear to share the same agenda, and yet they become violent and behave like lynch mobs. At that moment the focus shifts from peace to "look at ALL those "hippies" getting arrested and acting like animals. Your message now is lost. The cap needs to be set by those who use the system, do you think they will do this?
How 'bout term limits? Have they been eager to do this? Even though our forefathers intended that those who serve must then become those that are served? Both parties are a joke, as is the political process. Unfortunately, you can never go home.
I have too many friends in politics to NOT feel it is hopeless. But thanks for trying to make me see some. Plus, our beautiful Constitution is overseen by non-elected officials who are supposed to interpret what was intended by the authors, are they doing so? That would require common sense. There is not ONE Supreme Court Justice that is not backing his party affiliation and they were appointed for that reason.
poorhorse makes a great point. You are your Government if your constition is anything to go by. Finding yourselves in the position that you are unrepresented and have nothing to do with your present Government, then voting them all back in and just distancing yourselves from the problem wont help any.
The problem is that it is in the interest of ALL those in power to pursue a course of divide and conquer. The partisan bitterness serves both sides of the political divide well. This is the smokescreen cleverly engineered by the bureaucrats to keep the populace's attention diverted while they take "wide stances" in the public toilets or service interns with cigars. Start with a campaign on electoral finance reform and move on from there.
Remember the salient point is that any dissent will be brushed off as liberal or conservative wingnuts. This is the main obstacle. If people in the US could have more discussions as we are having here there would be progress. Proper dialogue is the way through. DO not fall into the trap of partisanship engineered in Washington. It's main aim is to urge people like you and your friends to give up.
it is exactly opposite to the theory of democracy when people are not what their govt. is. Govt. is theoreticaly the representative of it's people. Where's the democracy than?
I think our one overriding fault as a people is our vulnerability to persuasion from spin paid for by corporate sources. We are generous. But we are too quick to buy what corporations tell us to buy, vote where corporations tell us to vote, fear what corporations tell us to fear, hate what corporations tell us to hate. It's our Achilles' heel, and it could cost us our democracy. It's already cost us the respect of world opinion.
That'd be great if it were only true. 60% of that money is paying tax deductible money to their church. American aid is structured in such a way as to destroy recipient countries economies. Goods are bought in the US and shipped across the world instead of being sourced locally. This kills off the local farmers leveing the locals in a worse position.
I believe American aid and charitable contributions from citizens are two different things. Supporting local food production is something I agree with, but there are a lot of hungry folks out there who need our help. Third world economics is complex, but I find it hard to believe that it would somehow be better if we didn't contribute...
Hi Tony, I't so nice to see you back. Yanno you're right about us Americans. We are and always have been very giving people. We see that in everything.
As a Canadian, I'm humbled by the financial and emotional generosity of the average American. Nearly everyone I know sees Americans in the light of this native, essential decency btw - great to see you back!
American people are good. it's the gov't, and the idiots who scream liberal commies that are bringing our country down. it's the big corporations and special interest groups agaainst all of us not in the top 1 percent. one day the Bush parrots will realize that. DIVIDE AND CONQUER is working quite well for them.
Good to see you again, Tony! Thanks for reminding us that the Good people of America need to be reminded that they are the Good people, the Loving and Compassionate people, who care for their neighbors whether those neighbors are across the street or across the world. Yes there has been more than mistakes made by the government.
We are being held hostage by crimials. We are made to pay the price for perks big-business takes in secret. That is not what democracy looks like. The republic is all but disappeared.
I am afraid that, respectfully, I must disagree with you on this one. We, THE PEOPLE, are our government. In the representative democracy set up 231 years ago, the ultimate power rests with the people, to elect a government of their choosing, every two years. It is unfortunate that someone such as yourself has, however temporarily, forgotten this very important fact. We, as a people, need to remember that our government can only be chosen by a select few if we allow that to happen.
I think you missed the message and the point of this vid. Thanks for your comments, though. I agree with them, I just don't think they apply to this message.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I believe that WE THE PEOPLE need to come together as one .and take our govt out behind a woodshed and give a lil ass whoopin.or maybe shoot the beast in the head and start over
Nice to hear from you again, great points my brother, that figure does not count the billions we have given to UNICEF, The U.N. gets credit for that money.
We SHOULD control our government better, they think they are there to lead, Reality is, they are there to SERVE US!
Most Americans have decent hearts,however,they have been lied to and misled so much that they tend to believe what FOX tells them. The real enemy is not Muslims,it is right here at home,the right wing elite..that is where the real evil lies! DEATH TO THE NEOCONS! We must fight back now! Join TruePatriotAction if you are tired of the right wing elite telling you how to believe! Good job RR. Yes,lots of good people in the U.S,unfortunately not many are in our government!
what the media fails to tell us, angie, is that the U.S. is no more! it's called the New World Order, now. Pres & Vice Pres don't have to answer to any laws in the N.W.O. just make a profit for the shareholders. (themselves)
