America is a Republic, not a Democracy in its purest sense.

Are you on drugs?

I'm surprised that the Heritage Foundation didn't bring up qestions at the GOP Debate on 11/22/2011 about the Malaysian Tribunal Court that convicted George W. Bush and Tony Blair for Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide when they went into Iraq. The mainstream media has yet to report this huge story because they need to protect certain candidates except for Ron Paul who prefers to use diplomacy vs. bombs!

the federal war on drugs has proven costly and ineffective, while creating terrible violent crime. But if you question policy, you are accused of being pro-drug. That is preposterous. As a physician, father, and grandfather, I abhor drugs. I just know that there is a better way — through local laws, communities, churches, and families — to combat the very serious problem of drug abuse than a massive federal-government bureaucracy.”- Ron Paul.

It sounds good but in truth we've lost it all. the clip moved me to tears, but where are the men and women that are and should be fighting this corrupt government? I'm just one guy and most just laugh at me for being an honest American...erick

@BNPPeace Gloabl warming one week, global cooling the next. Climate changes day to day. The US does have an energy plan, not so much under the development by the government, but at the factories and research facilities. Oil is plentiful, but is restricted in the US (though we send taxpayer money to Brazil so they can do the same thing). What is a hoax is based on lack of scientific evidence, or proof of the opposite. Besides, with the rise of China, US pollution will be a drop in the bucket

@Askerban No tornadoes in your neighborhood? Hurricanes? How about peak oil, Fukushima meltdowns, as obstacles to our economy? There is plenty of "fear of what's coming." I see the problem as corporate run government. Germany, is developing solar power, employing 1000,000 workers, more than the US steel industry. With Exxon Mobil in charge, the US doesn't even have an energy plan, oil is less plentiful and pricier all the time, spills more likely. How do you decide what is a hoax?

[Askerban]

@BNPPeace To say that we are unregulated is to also state that the US has 57 states. Yeah, extending the current tax rates have helped Obama stave off more job losses and unemployment, but the unending rules, and the fear of what's coming is holding them back. Environmental regulation for the Great Hoax has just been justification for lefties to do whatever they want in the name of "fairness" to cut the US down to size. They instill policies that hurt the private sector, then blame the system

[BNPPeace]

@Askerban Why do they wish to harm us? Could it be the drone attacks, the bombs and the corrupt leaders the US backs in so many countries. The US government is responsible for much of this hatred and violence and it is rooted in the US attempt to control the world's resources. Afghanistan has pipelines. We bail out the banks and the corporations but we leave individual American to fend for themselves. "ingenuity of American people" translates to "you are on your own sucker" .

@Askerban The reason why they are holding onto profits is because  they only answer to the stock holder who wants more money at any cost. As you mentioned, we need quality companies with good business models. What we have is: unregulated capitalism. We give them tax credits, a pass on environmental regulation etc, so after they have taken our money and polluted freely, they leave for some other country and make their stock holders very happy by increasing profits. Encourage them?
