Knoxville police Sunday evening searched the Levy Drive home of Jim David Adkisson after he allegedly entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church and killed two people and wounded six others during the presentation of a children's musical...a man who said he attacked a church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country"
Enough is enough RIGHT NOW.
The question is, rather, when will this war hit the streets?
Forget outside terrorism...domestic is on the way.
Waaah! We're being oppressed! *sniffle* There's trouble in the world! I can't cope! Waaaaah!
Your whiny question 'when is enough enough' is answered very simply. Enough is ALWAYS enough, since enough=enough. You are asking 'when does 1=1' for Christ's sake.
Listen Les, the oil companies the govt. officials that are making a killing of of our backs are the ones that are gouging prices. Look at the money being raked in from Big Oil.
We are in one hell of a pedicament and why is that! Both BUsh Sr and JR decided to attack the middle east and the middle east has no mindset and if they can cut peoples heads off, then they can committ economic terror as they are doing now in the USA!
You people have to understand that the radicals in the middle east have no mindset but I hate BUSh because he has no balls to admit that we are being attacked economically!
Whether you will consider this or not, please listen carefully. The Middle East is not attcking us financially. Our govt. is doing it to us. They have created havoc by giving so much power to the Federal Reserve who bankrupts this nation daily by loaning the govt. every dollar in circulation, the housing loan/credit situation, engaging in unnecessary wars.
"You people" need to understand that these radicals are only responding to decades of aggression. Re-assess man, seriously.
We have been the aggressor on so many occasions, people in the midle east have every right to have ill will toward us. A majority of Americans hate people from the middle east.
My biggest problems regarding the middle east are religion and the notion that violence is the preferred method settle their disputes, which is usually perpetuated over religion and egocentric belief of ownership of the land. Not to mention that have been attacking them for many, many years.
You have just made an assertion based on no fore-knowledge or evidence. I don't own an SUV and I do not "have money", though I am financially stable and work hard for what I get.
There's absolutely no excuse in this day and age to ask "When is enough, enough?" There are far too many critics, and while everyone seems to know what's wrong with election process, gas prices, amero, globalization and other issues that underlay this country's current foundation, I find that *VERY* few actually step forward with solution[s]. Educate self, discuss, share ideas, hold politicians accountable, get involved. Freedom is speech is not freedom to whine.
I find intersting that you criticize and claim that people need to share ideas, discuss, educate yourself and get involved, yet I have done all of those things and I am encouraging a dialogue in doing so. If you took the content of this video to mean that I do not have knowledge of the things I listed in the description box or have no idea what to do about them, then you are mistaken. My intention to get expose people to these things and incite ideas and thoughts on the matters.
My statement wasn't a personal attack, but a reaction to a growing movement of blame. Reciting problems is not merely sufficient. Investigate why, and most will find there are as many arguments for these problems created as well as seeking out to heroically overcome them. Accusing masses of ignorance is hardly a tactic that I would consider honorable. Performing postmortem analysis on a crisis does not produce any productive outcome w/out facts.
I would agree with you that very few people offer solutions and instead get caught up in the demonization of the system and the people running it, instead of the working to make viable change.
Thanks Ella! We are becoming strangers in a strange land trying to keep alive the idea that these kinds of actions are not acceptable from willfully dishonest, esoteric, elitist wannabe dictators. I think historically when some of the most fundamental change came through bloodshed. We have the ability to be better than our predecessors but unfortuantely we are so divided as a people, that it seems almost improbable at this point in time. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate your kind words. :)
if will never be enough. So as long as we take it. So vote damn it. I don't care who you vote for just vote. And read. Prove those fat cats in the white house that the American public is not stupid. Read, write and listen to your heart. And for once in your lives turn off the idiot box and do something more. Get in the system and do something. You can only bitch when you have tried and failed, but even then you must keep fighting.
Those are a lot of thoughts in one comment. You should do all those things, but it more complicated and requires more of you than that teenwitchlovergirl. The very things I list in the description box are being used as means to an end, whether it is keeping us obedient or using these measures for their own gain. Also, the system is the problem, because it is broken from abuse. I will continue to speak out until otherwise.
"Everything's fine today, that is our illusion." - Voltaire
Nope, I'm not ignorant to it. I've been thinking it for a long time. I'll tell you what we're gonna do, we're gonna get us a Democrat in the White House and get the hell out of Iraq! (or at least turn it into a peacekeeping outpost, like South Korea)
Good for you brother! The destruction of our civil liberties and freedoms must end. I see our electoral system as corrupted. We can chalk a lot of bad things up to the neo-cons in control now, but there have been indiscretions and bad decisions made by all. This is not about one party over another, because they are in essence similar. They need each other to continue this two party system dichotomy, which only succeeds in keeping us from coming together to stop it. Thanks for the feedback!
"Effective methods makes you the enemy and void your human rights."
You hit the nail on the head brother. Once in a while you get a small win with a letter to rep. or an on-line petition against legislation, but those avenues tend to fall short. The big machine keeps on rolling and churning out more legislation, laws and other facist draconian garbage targeting it's citizens as terrorists and dissidents just for opening our mouths and voicing our views in disagreement. Thanks for commenting.
They've been taking away our rights in a very calculated way with the patriot act and that presidential directive "signed" into law last year. There is constant pressure being exerted from that direction and it is up to us to be vigilant about preventing it.
Unfortunately, as you said in your description box, after a grace period it is harder to organize the masses behind a particular cause. And so it goes, they infringe on our liberties little by little, so noone really notices.
Right on, it is a slow and tedious process that works very well in their favor. My intention was to be vague and inquisitive to solicit responses. Thanks for the comment man.
My pleasure man. Most of this stuff is in black and white for anyone to read. Sometimes they can be tough to get too and decorated with a lot of descriptive legal jargon, but the intent of most of it is very clear. Thanks for commenting man!
Socialism had been demonized in the US to such an extent that the majority don't even believe in universal healthcare to help the poorest because they haven't "earned" it. This and the promotion of "greed is good", "ostentation is to be admired", plus using religion to hoodwink a lot of people means that a major cultural paradigm shift needs to occur. There's not enough, so unless those who have are willing to help those who have not and forgo their ridiculous lifestyles nothing will change.
I appreciate the feedback! Yes, a continual perpetuation of social classes is imbedded in our culture and it hurts us severely. The Healthcare Industry along with Big Pharm, Big Oil and so many others make billions of dollars on other people's suffering and necessity, all with the support of our govt. I am for less govt. but universal healthcare is the best alternative to our current healthcare situation in this country IMO.
The point I was trying to make is that as the basis for a society where everyone is at least given a minimum treatment is the basis for a more compassionate society. America is all about me, me, me and screw everyone else and there influence is spreading. I lived in both Scotland and England and free healthcare is not a problem for wealthy countries. The PNAC is just what you get from a greed ridden society whose interest is world domination for the rich elite and not progress for all humanity.
Thanks for your clarification and your additional feedback. I would agree with your points and would go further to say that at least making it possible for everyone to have the opportunity for this basic medical treatment would speak volumes and demonstrate a real desire to make a change towards equality. Unfortunately we are fucked in that department. The wealthy and powerful want to be wealthier and more powerful and will continue that vicious cycle.
I've seen some of your vids and I knew I was just making my point badly ;) I don't believe that all wealthy people are bad (not that I know any - LOL) It's all very complex but there are those who I respect although they don't wield much power other than educating others. Also you seem quite upset in the vid and I wanted to recommend my feature TED vid if you haven't seen it. It puts things in perspective for me and it might help you? Chin up dude, don't let them get you down :) peace man.
Thanks for the pep talk brother, your words are greatly appreciated! It was somewhat late when I made this and the somber tone was intentional. I am actually a very positive and confident guy even when discussing and researching subjects of this nature. I used to get frustrated and more angry knowing these things existed and could be used against me, but now I accept tha fact that I can only do so much and do what I can to challenge them when I can. Peace.
what can we do? write a letter to our representatives? some do, ihave, but it rarely seems to change anything. the people in power, have the power, use thepower, and dont take to kindly to sharing it. absolute power corrupts, there is no checks, anyone who would be the check and balance is also corrupt using the system. the 2 factions simply steer clear of each other, or directly work together. to be a politicain take unlimited wealth, the army to big to fight
Thanks for the feedback my friend! Going through official channels is slow and often ineffective. This country is the bully knocking other countries down and taking their lunch money. The majority of this country is ignorant to it. How scary is it to think that there is a private army of mercenaries larger than our military force right now fighting in Iraq not accountable to military or civilian laws! Think about them on American streets with free reign to "maintain order" as they see fit.
That is great question that I have spent many an hour asking of others. Why the necessity to filter these things if not to purposely shelter them from the public eye? Why tell an entire country there is no recession when we are clearly in trouble? I was being inquisitive and vague to solicit responses. There are things we can do and many have been doing for years. The problem is our voice counts less and less with every passing day and/or new legislation. I appreciate the feedback very much :)
well, sinceyour soliciting thought. my above answer was in relation to ABC's comment. i understood and appreciated the vague nature of the video, and thought it applied to a wide variety of things. when i saw ABC's comment, it made me wonder, what ppl of other countriesreally think we can do here? and if they see "we the people" as responsible for Bush's action..etc.
Right on. I thought you were talking with her but thougt I would weigh in on your comment. It is interesting to hear different perspectives from our international brothers and sisters. I think it is a mixed bag. I have talked with people from the British Isles and Europe that lump "you Americans" into these stereotypes, and then there are those that realize many of us see our country and it's problems for what they are.
I've missed whatever you are talking about, drop me a line and give me the gist of what you were talking about and I'll Read up on it.I, like a lot of people, spend much of my time over-focusing on daily life and issues and end up losing sight of the bigger concerns and overall character events.Things fall through the gaps.
I Dig it!
