A must watch for those concerned about America

[Jeramie]

We need to regain control and revert back to the roots this country was founded on. We have allowed this to grow so out of hand we are now sitting on the ends of the limbs and cutting the branch off behind us.

Very powerful video. My fear is that we are too far out on the limb and it's going to break no matter who is in charge.

All I have to say:

"

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security...."

Nothing but common sense there. Real shame we have elected officials that thumb their noses at their consituents and do not use better judgement.

Hopefully enough voters will have had enough and will let those politicians know when they vote here in a couple weeks.

Point of no return, I hope not, but we are without a doubt closer than we have been in my lifetime.

What's going on right now is not distasteful enough to cause most people to take any action. I'm a Libertarian and support going back to the Constitution and abolishing all laws that defy it even marginally. This november will be interesting to watch. I believe that this will end when it fails on it's own. Why I say this is from watching the situation on the border and in Phoenix. People are willing to let the border remain open and massive quantities of drugs and humans be smuggled through, as long as they are not directly affected by the consequenses. The government won't defend us and says we can't do it ourselves and most are okay with that as long as they can still reap the benfits of this country's riches. It will end when the system collapses. When the music stops hope you are one of the ones that has a chair. Be prepared for the worse. Pray for the best.

I do absentee voting due to job constraints. If they were an incumbent of any party I said no more. Lets turn the whole damn thing over to rookies. They will spend so much time jockeying for positions maybe them getting nothing done is the best solution for the near term

[stevebeilgard]

i agree with the rookie thing. i want all new folks in washington. flush the toilet and drain the swamp. i see hope and change coming on nov. 2.

I still say we're going to H in a handbasket. It's inevitable. We pay folks to stay home and not work. Why do we have so much illegal immigration? Is it because employers are trying to hire workers cheap? No, it's because sorry, lazy Americans won't work. If a society isn't willing to put in the hard work to make progress, and we are also not winning on the intellectual property side of the equation since we are a nation of dropouts, then we are doomed to a bad fate in our lifetime.
