ALL governments will eventually dissolve into tyranny (or fascism) and OUR government is NO EXCEPTION.


there are those who simply do not want Americans to have the freedoms that were given to us by our Founding Fathers because those freedoms get in their way of treating us as frightened sheep to be shorn at will of our property and freedom. the fact that the “paper of record” (hah) is going along with the imposition of this assininity is because both the Left and the Right want to make us into those sheep. the question is what kind of sheep we will be told to become…


the creation of Homeland (in)Security was a cruel joke. it should really be called “Department for the Imposition of Total Control”. our government uses the Bin Laden boogeyman to stampede us into willfully surrendering our Creator-given rights to property and liberty in the pursuit of “security”.


i am so sick of what i see in this country that it makes me want to puke.


we really need to find an effective way to fight back, take control of our government and re-guarantee the sanctity of rights to property and liberty.

there are those who simply do not want Americans to have the freedoms that were given to us by our Founding Fathers because those freedoms get in their way of treating us as frightened sheep to be shorn at will of our property and freedom. the fact that the “paper of record” (hah) is going along with the imposition of this assininity is because both the Left and the Right want to make us into those sheep. the question is what kind of sheep we will be told to become…

the creation of Homeland (in)Security was a cruel joke. it should really be called “Department for the Imposition of Total Control”. our government uses the Bin Laden boogeyman to stampede us into willfully surrendering our Creator-given rights to property and liberty in the pursuit of “security”.

i am so sick of what i see in this country that it makes me want to puke.

we really need to find an effective way to fight back, take control of our government and re-guarantee the sanctity of rights to property and liberty.
