Armageddun Loc: The show me state
 
A friend posted this on Facebook



Our Grandfathers watched as his friends died in WWI
Our Fathers watched as his friends died in WWII and Korea
I watched as my friends fought and died in Vietnam
I watched as our friends and children fought and died in Desert Storm...
I watched and waited while our friends and children fought and died in Iraq..
None of them fought for or died for the Mexican Flag or any other foreign flag...
Everyone fought for and died for the U.S. Flag!
In Texas, a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down.
Guess who was expelled... The kid who took it down.
Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.
Enough is enough.
The message below needs to be viewed by every American;
And every American needs to stand up for America.
We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough...I'm taking a stand...
I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. Flag can't stand up...
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message...
Let me make this perfectly clear!
THIS IS MY COUNTRY!
And, by making this statement DOES NOT Mean
I'm against immigration!!!
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN OUR COUNTRY!
Welcome!
To come through legally:
1. Get a sponsor!
2. Get a place to lay your head!
3. Get a job!
4.Live By OUR Rules!
5.Pay YOUR Taxes!
And
6.Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants has in the past!!
AND
7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime Savings of Social Security Funds to you.
When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS ????
We've gone so far the other way...
We've bent over backward not to offend anyone...
But it seems no one cares about the
AMERICAN CITIZEN being offended!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

I agree with all my heart.
I have come to learn not all of our Citizens see it this way.
There is clearly an all out effort,started by the Obama's and carried on by the mostly brainwashed intellectual eltitists, drunken professors, welfare bangers,The Mayor's of Chicago and NYC,( it's a very long list)
Who still wish to dismantle and weaken this country.
From traitor McCaine, to Hillary and Bill, Schumer, Pelosi, Lynch, former cabinet members, former directors,current players,
all terrified of losing money and power.
These people are not and never will be Americans.
They are the Anti-americans.

AGREED with all of this. I'm so tired of our country bending and lending to every freeloader who comes around. And what do we get from said freeloaders? Contempt and hatred towards our citizens, our laws and our culture. No wonder the left stubbornly refused to have any open dialogue about this. They respond to direct problems with rhetoric and name calling. Cuz they've got nothing reasonable that could lawfully and constitutionally explain this nonsense.

On another note, seeing as illegal aliens are now undocumented citizens I've decided to robust a bank and when I get caught I'm going to explain my actions as undocumented wealth distribution..

I agree with your sentiment, if our Congress will not stand with our President through AG Sessions to just enforce the Laws that are in lawful legislation passed by that same Congress. Then this President has no other choice to do what he said he would do. Secure America.

It seems we have a problem here, of either lack of intelligence, or lack of knowledge. Maybe it's the fault of the liberal socialistic takeover of our educational system, making it the worse it has ever been in educating our children and citizens?

What I'm speaking of here is mainly about the knowledge of history, as most know of the old mot of "If you don't learn from the problematic lessons of history, then you're doomed to repeat them", yet they ignore the truth involved in it.

What we are now experiencing in the USA today is the exact same things that happened during the destructive end of the 'Roman Empire', especially concerning immigrants, foreign slaves, and the total lack of nationalism, love, and respect for their country that made the 'Roman Empire' great. The circusses in all their coliseums (sports arenas, television, and movie theatres of today), to distract the Roman people from all their national problems, and allow their empire to be taken over from the inside by the immigrants and foreigners allowed in from the outside, who couldn't defeat them from the outside, with all their citizens so discussed with their government and what was going on in their government, began refusing to serve in their military, that was needed to stop the barbarians that were invading from across their borders.

Can anyone see the similarities between what defeated the 'Roman Empire', and what is going on in the USA today, which is really emphasized by the NFL players protesting during the time alotted to respect and honor our National Anthem, our American Flag, and all the citizens who have served their beloved country, as well as the invasion of illegal immigrants, legal immigrants, refugees, people brought here as slaves as was also done in the 'Roman Emoire', and foreign visitors who stay and live here illegally, which has produced the largest number, and percentage of our population, of foreigners that have ever been living in the USA at any time during our history?

It really doesn't matter if some refuse to acknowledge the similarities or not, the results of all those conditions will be exactly the same, unless someone starts changing those conditions in an attempt to "Make America Great Again", as was needed to save the 'Roman Empire', which nobody ever did, and so now we have the problematic lessons of history to learn from, or follow the same destiny as the 'Roman Empires' fate. Did GOD send us President Trump to save us from that fate, as He once sent Cyrus to save the Hebrews enslaved in the Babylonian Empire in order to reestablish Israel, Jerusalem and His Temple?

One good sign of that may prove this as being the truth, is that the evil liberals, progressives, and Democrats are fighting tooth and nail against President Trump with organized resistance and complete obstructionism of him trying to "Make America Great Again", as they support and promote every single thing that was the cause of the fall and destruction of the 'Roman Empire', This also proves the religious belief that there is a great battle going on between good and evil that is being overseen by GOD and His Angels, against Satan and his Demons, who sponsor and glorify all that the liberals, progressives, and Democrats support and promote. It's really amazing how GOD interconnects everything, now if we could only learn from it and Him.

Very true. It's sad that our country is in decline and so many refuse to see it. And it does mirror Rome and other countries that defined, sadly, when things were too easy for citizens.....

WELL FRICKEN SAID Armageddun!!!!!!! It is my contention that those that fail to assimilate to our country and create NO GO ZONES whether it be by the Muslim Scourge and or any group of individuals that have come here to suck off the the tit of the American people who have eithe been allowed or forced upon us have two choices. Either get with the program or get the hell out and go back to what ever shit hole you came from. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRY AND CHANGE OUR HISTOY OR WAY OF LIFE!!!! It has been tolorated for far to long and quite frankly it has been way past time to confront these ungrateful indivduals and let them know. We are sick and tired of your non assimilating ass's. The only thing that will take this to the next level Im afraid would be to have massive demonstrations against their folly in order to let them know they are no longer welcome. Of course the Progressive left MSM and many others will cry all the words that end with an ism or phobia. Those words no longer have any effect what so ever as they have used them to the Nth degree and have no value anymore. I am ready to join any group that isnt stupid or necessarily violent but will not hesitate to become that way if pushed. In fact we that love this coun try have already been pushed way to far. I dont know about anyone else here but I only have four cheeks to turn and they have all been used up!

The last two decades of the twentieth century, echoed the zeniths of corruption and excess-the Gilded Age and the 1920s-when the rich in the United States slipped their usual political constraints, and this trend continued into the new century. By the 1990s data showed the United States replacing Europe at the pinnacle of Western privilege and inequality. This, of course, is part of what made the United States the prime target of terrorism in much the same way as the Europe of czars, kings, and grand dukes was during the period of 1880 to 1920. Finance itself had been a target before-in 1886, an anarchist flung acid and fired shots at the stockbrokers of the Paris Bourse, and in September 1920, terrorists set off dynamite on Wall Street in front of the offices of J. P. Morgan. Thirty-four people were killed and more than two hundred injured.
Given these extraordinary wealth-related circumstances, provocations, and stakes, a political history of the American rich must inquire far beyond the predictable concentration of assets, inequality, and conspicuous consumption. It must also pursue troubling and crippling side effects: high levels of political corruption, the arrogance of global economic power, the twisting of the U.S. tax code, and the voter belief in the captivity of government to private interests.
The inroads on American democracy in the 1980s and 1990s have many philosophical as well as political patrons: think tanks, university chairs, and publications joined in praise of economic elites, corporate predators, Darwinian competition, the claims of political moneygiving to be free speech, uninhibited markets, global policing on behalf of investment, and "free" enterprise (however reliant on friendly government). Allied pundits and promoters, in turn, have repeatedly undercut popular programs ranging from Social Security to business regulation. Unelected judges, central bankers, trade regulators, and global economic organizations have been encouraged in taking over powers earlier enjoyed by elected national leaders and legislatures. Critics counter with charges of a growing "democratic deficit

These trends are closely related to-indeed, many of their conservative protagonists are funded by-America's deepening wealth and income concentrations. Between 1979 and 1989 the portion of the nation's wealth held by the top 1 percent nearly doubled from 22 percent to 39 percent. By the mid-nineties, some economists estimated that the top 1 percent had captured 70 percent of all earnings growth since the mid-seventies. Corruption dominates the ballot-box, the Legislatures, the Congress and touches even the ermine of the bench. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind; and the possessors of these, in turn, despise the Republic and endanger liberty. Working people ordinary citizens need to find a way to take the country back from the reactionaries who have peeled away the FDR New deal that created the largest middle class the world had ever seen and is now being decimated

Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them.
Enough is enough.
The message below needs to be viewed by every American;
And every American needs to stand up for America.
We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough...I'm taking a stand...
I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. Flag can't stand up...
And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message...
Let me make this perfectly clear!
THIS IS MY COUNTRY!
And, by making this statement DOES NOT Mean
I'm against immigration!!!
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN OUR COUNTRY!
Welcome!
To come through legally:
1. Get a sponsor!
2. Get a place to lay your head!
3. Get a job!
4.Live By OUR Rules!
5.Pay YOUR Taxes!
And
6.Learn the LANGUAGE like immigrants has in the past!!
AND
7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime Savings of Social Security Funds to you.
When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS ????
We've gone so far the other way...
We've bent over backward not to offend anyone...
But it seems no one cares about the
AMERICAN CITIZEN being offended!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
