We Were Warned (Page 12): The Greek City/State Democracies, but they weren't Republics and are unworkable once the population reaches a certain point. More than a few despots. You will...

Sounds about right. The only things I recall reading about that existed prior to that were monarchies and feifdoms. Along with a few despots.

Actually, what the radical Marxist-Dems are talking about are the jobs that they are doing at present. Then they TWISTED the events and accused President Trump and the MAGA.

The Marxist Dems, with the help of the Deep State, are the most violent and dishonest human beings on earth as they deceive the country and the people.

Here are some of the most atrocious activities they are presently doing to destroy our country and all Republicans specially Donald Trump.

These are the activities Biden and the Deep State have been doing to our country at present.

_ Allowed 12 million more illegal aliens made up of convicts, Muslim terrorists, drug dealers/addicts, human traffickers, Communist Chinese, rapists, and handouts. They already have killed many of us and fought with Law Enforcement Officers.

-Accused innocent Donald Trump of various hoax charges to convict him, and to prevent him from campaigning for his political bid.

- Denied Donald Trump of his Constitutional Rights.
a. First Amendment Rights.
b. 5th Amendment Rights.
c. 6th Amendment Rights.
d. Election interference.
e. 14th Amendment Rights.

-Desecrated Easter Sunday with wokeism.
– Arrested the leader of the Republican Party, President Trump.
– Removed Trump from the ballot in key states.
– Raided Mar-a-Lago with 40 armed agents, and ammunitions.
– Censored Conservative voices.
– Spied on Catholic worshippers.
– Gutted election integrity measures.
– Peddled the Russia Hoax for years.
– Threw open our border to illegals.
– Abandoned Americans in Afghanistan.
_Left $85 billion US weapon to Afghanistan.
– Caved to the Chinese Communist Party.
– Moved to pack the Supreme Court.
– Forced propaganda into classrooms, that propagated their dumb, immoral, and violent public-school students.
-Massive Spending that brought National Debts to $34.79 trillion.
-Focused on Climate Change that made, reversed all effective policies of Donald Trump that resulted to the highest inflation of 11%.
-Designed to raise more income taxes including unearned income, a violation of GAAP and Accounting Principles.
-Paying off by installment 42 million students who owed debts of $1.67 trillion. All against the Supreme Court decision.
-Providing illegal aliens employment which are against the Constitution. This hurts the American citizens, due to low illegals' wages to compete despite of the highest inflation.
-Highest homeless and lunatics due to increase in drug addictions.

I hope that other time comes soon. I would like to know who you think should rule and who should be allowed to vote. Are you suggesting civics quizzes must be passed in order to vote? A return to poll taxes or worse?

LostAggets666, so, you're afraid that you couldn't pass a civics / history exam in order to vote? The truth comes out. You have to pass 2 tests to drive a car, a written test and an on the road driving test. People too stupid to vote shouldn't vote. In the old days only land owners could vote because they paid taxes on their land and had a right to have some control over how their money was spent. Today there are way too many stupid people out there. You can see some of them on the various news channels. Also, a civics quiz would ensure that illegal aliens and dead people couldn't vote. I realize that this would hurt the Democrat party, but so what.

As mentioned, there are exceptions to every rule. But as many here have commented, "most colleges" are more liberal than conservative. Logically speaking, if education level dictates electoral participation then college grads would be more likely to be allowed to vote. If colleges are liberal institutions, grads tend to be Dems. If A = B and B = C, then A usually = C as well. 😉

NotsmartenoughtobeMAGA, I've seen "man on the street" interviews on TV and web sites where college students couldn't answer simple questions about US history or civics. That was very sad. These liberal institutions are teaching CRT, diversity and transgenderism. No wonder these kids can't get real jobs and pay off their student loans.

If you are gullible enough to believe that the teeny portion of the US population that makes it into man on the street interviews is representative of the majority of college students of today...
Alrighty then.

And when quizzed, they still have no clue of the deception for dollars colleges rake in. You pay for your indoctrination. Brilliant.

Yup. The only poll that means anything is the one taken on November 5 (and early voting period prior).

You have to think of the unemployment percentage. If these people were not doing this, our unemployment percentages would rise. You do not want that do you?

When I read a story , I look for other sources to confirm.
Not quite sure how we get totally different viewpoints!

And I agree that freedom is essential. And I suspect that our major departure in viewpoints involves economics. But, freedoms should not be used to hurt others or their freedoms. And it is a fact that uncontrolled capitalism has frequently led to revolt and initiating a communistic form of government. Examples include Russia, Cuba, China, Viet Nam. Cambodia, and others going back into feudal days. Therefore, for capitalism to flourish in an environment of freedom and equality for all citizens, controls are necessary to maintain an acceptable level of equality and an acceptable standard of living. The consequences of failure to do that have proven to be horrible in many cases. Over the last 55 years, it is my opinion that insufficient controls on American capitalism have been in place to maintain a stable economic situation. The standard of living for workers has been gradually falling since about 1968. In that period, the already wealthy have increased their share of all the wealth in America to approximately 50 percent from the 35 percent in the 1960s. The working class, of course, lost that same percentage, resulting in a significant reduction in their standard of living. Fact is that today, nearly 40 percent of American workers are paid a wage defined as below federally cited poverty. I suspect what is going on in America today is the civil unrest due to the continuing loss in quality of life in the working class. I have cited, in articles in this forum, the reasons this is happening and the laws congress has passed at the behest of the wealthy and corporate interests that are directly responsible for the losses to the working class. I predict that if this doesn't change in the not very distant future, civil unrest will lead to civil war. Fortunately for me, I will be in my grave before that happens. At least I hope that is the case. A republican said it best. See the memes.
