I'm tired of being controlled, licensed, regulated, registered, overtaxed, watched, screened, questioned, searched, tolled, imposed upon and interfered with, by a nosy government which was designed to be limited and with checks and balances.

I'm weary of hearing the dialectic, politically correct clichés, "it's for the children," "it's to stop terrorism," "it's for your own good, to protect you or to make you more secure" and "we're the government and we are only here to help."

I'm angry about our open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens, the unconstitutional Federal Reserve and its worthless fiat/paper/computer money, government give-aways and unlimited spending, a mis- and dis-information media/free press owned by the international one-world banksters, and the government-funded and sanctioned killing of the helpless and innocent unborn.

I'm also angry about the embracing of unholy sodomite marriages, starting and fighting unconstitutional/imperialistic wars around the world in the false name of democracy; government embracing and funding of the United Nations with its evil agendas to destroy our sovereignty, free speech and property rights (the very cornerstone of liberty);the passing of unconstitutional, Draconian bills, laws, treaties and executive orders by cookie-cutter; neo-con politicians who no longer represent the good interest and welfare of the people; the unconstitutional government public school pagan seminaries, the 501-c-3 government-controlled churches, and on and on.

This is no longer America. All that is necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who think they are free.

They left one or two things out from my point of view...add for me...I'm tired of criminals receiving light sentences for heinous crimes...and prisons being more like country clubs than prisons. Rehabilitation was once a dream...now with the recidivism rates it's a nightmare...another liberal agenda that failed, but continued to our ruin.

I'm tired of politicians that behave badly, even criminally, and survive to serve more terms...many more terms...and politicians that have been impeached STILL in the congress.

I'm tired of corruption in all its forms and criminality, ditto...and PC that can't call anything what it actually is. Truth has become the greatest victim of this as one rarely hears a truth spoken these days.

I'm tired of foreign aid, it was never our responsibility to provide budgets for other countries year after year. Tired of the giveaway of our resources and really really tired of the congress being unaccountable for the funds they allocate for 'projects'. Tired of the pork barrel spending.

Tired of providing military aid to any and every country in the world. Tired of having our troops posted, at our great expense, in so many countries for so many years.

Tired of politics altogether it would seem

RR

the problem is, so many people could care less! I never dreamed we'd be battling the federal government again for states rights but if it was left up to Congress, the citizens and the states would be destitute and defenseless

Its almost like 1860 again...

Hope you saved your confederate money.

Dear God, I just love Americans when they're pissed!!

These sicko-wacko-evil-parasites-from-hell Globalists and their Pay Boys and Pay Girls in the United States Government trying to dissolve our country and exterminate that beautiful people called the Americans have made a huge mistake.

It will sink in folks...the truth about what is happening...it is surreal, like a fog of confusion, but there will be a dawning friends very soon. If we keep providing the information and connecting the dots soon every American will get it, wake and rise and do what Americans have always done...fight for freedom, country and each other.

The "enemy" just isn't who most of us expected.

The enemy is in Washington.

Yep....DC.

" The parties to this conflict are not merely abolitionists and slaveholders - they are atheists, socialists, communists, red Republicans, Jacobins, on the one side, and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other. In one word, the world is a battleground - Christianity and atheism are the combatants and the progress of humanity is at stake" -

~ Presbyterian pastor and theology professor, James H. Thornwell ~
Columbia Theological Seminary in South Carolina
10 years before the 'unCivil War'


John C. Calhoun, an advocate for ‘states rights,' contended "the Union as a compact of states only, not an overriding central power." The last words spoken by John C. Calhoun on his deathbed were "The South, the poor South".

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF ---- 1860


The House of Representatives with the northern majority and populous vote in the 1859-1860 session, passed the "Morrill Tariff of 1860 -- a 'protective tariff' on imported goods that immediately raised the average tariff rate from around 15% to 37.5% with increases to 47% within three years with over a 50% duty on iron products and 25% on clothing; rates averaged 47%, taxes that could bankrupt many Southerners. The Senate passed ‘Morrill Tariff of 1860' on March 2, 1861, two days before Abraham Lincoln's inauguration, President James Buchanan signed it into law.



Abraham Lincoln was an advocate of 'big business' -- 'CORPORATE AMERICA' -- and a long-time attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad Company until he was elected President. He was also attorney for the Chicago and Alton, the Ohio and Mississippi, the Rock Island Railroad corporations. and the Chicago and Mississippi Railroad. After being elected President, Abraham Lincoln called a 'special session' and proposed legislation for a taxpayer-subsidized Union Pacific Railroad – President Abraham Lincoln needed the 'tariff tax' of the southern states to subsidize the railroad. In his Inaugural Address, President Abraham Lincoln stated "The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the Government [South Carolina had seceded from the union and did not belong to the government] and to collect the duties and imposts; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere. . . ."

The New York Day Book reported that Lincoln's "... inaugural address is a concentration of deceit, arrogance, ignorance and audacity in about equal proportions.. . . It is skillfully devised, well calculated to deceive the unthinking, and in its false and deceitful talk about the Union, appeals to the strongest and most patriotic sentiment in the American heart. " and "His way of keeping the Union together seems to be in cannonading and bombarding the discontented part of it ... the 4th of March is the inauguration of civil war and the dissolution of the Union of the States."

And The Philadelphia Public Ledger and Daily Transcript reported " His language is mild and peaceful. ... ... How these things are to be done without a collision, we are unable to understand ... Can there be any lingering doubts that Lincoln's First Inaugural Address was not a "Declaration of War" upon the seceded States in the eyes of many citizens, both North and South? . . "

When asked why not let the south go in peace, 'President' Lincoln said "What then will become of my tariff?" and "I can't let them go. Who would pay for the government?".

'President' Lincoln later asked Congress "if one State may secede, so may another; and when all shall have seceded, none is left to pay the debts. If we now recognize this doctrine by allowing the seceders to go in peace, it is difficult to see what we can do if others choose to go."

Lincoln refused to meet with the "peace commissioners" from the Confederate States and Colonel Baldwin, a delegate from the Virginia Convention, continued to urge for 'peace' but President Abraham Lincoln's concern was for revenue and he asked "What about the revenue? What would I do about the collection of duties?" Colonel Baldwin asked how much revenue he expected to collect from the Confederate States. President Abraham Lincoln answered "Fifty or sixty millions, " Following Lincoln's refusal for peace, Virginia seceeded from "the union"


the south was 'INVADED'


1994 - 2005


the states are 'INVADED'

the federal government is an advocate of 'big business' -- 'CORPORATE AMERICA' -- outsourcing American jobs to countries where CORPORATE AMERICA can have slave labor and then import their goods without TARIFF'S --- the burden of funding the federal government is placed on the citizens

NAFTA, CAFTA, FTAA,

Oh Gosh, Mamie, I almost am afraid to jump in here!!! The South shall rise again??? That sounds remarkably similar, doesn't it?? Maybe we SHOULD secede again. It sure seems like we're the states that are being overrun.

My great-great grandfather was in the US Congress when South Carolina seceded from the Union. He was a member of the South Carolina delegation and I have his Congressional Manual engraved with his name in gold. I do treasure that.

Mamie!! I NEVER KNEW THAT!!

How is it possible that I know so little about the events of the Civil War.

I was raised in Missouri where it was not discussed and even though our state was Union, half of the state was below the Mason-Dixon Line. They say this state was the state where the term "brother against brother" originated. I was raised below the Mason Dixon Line but no one ever discussed it. I guess down through the years everyone just put it behind them on both sides. Everyone considered the state a Union state and it's amazing now thinking back what the landscape of my home state must have looked like and felt like during the Civil War where the State was Union but with many citizens in the southern part of the state sympathetic to the Conferedates.

I never knew these facts about Abraham Lincoln and his tariffs. Or if I did, I didn't understand their meaning at the time.
