We're still under the Bush state of emergency too, as far as I know.


I believe you are correct.

To trigger Trump's emergency, it has to be directly related to foreign interference in a federal e******n. That has already been shown to be fact.

What we need is a plan of action. But I don't think it can be posted online........at least not in the venues we have, such as this one.

No, freedom is the absence of other people. Government's purpose is to ensure that people can live together... and build roads.

Wow.

Americans are so ens***ed that they think government agents are holy gods, but since the elites and the government are the same now, asking for government protection from businesses is like asking a thief to watch your house when you go on vacation.

Maybe the real reason there are laws against car repair is because car dealers lobby for them.

The government takes away your freedom, but won’t protect you.

The way to deal with danger today is to do what worked in the past.

Government needs to be small and people need to take personal responsibility and embrace freedom.

Being dangerous is not in the best of companies.

The big difference between private business and tyranny is that you can boycott the free market, but the government forces you at gunpoint to do something or not do something.

Look not to the politicians; look to yourselves.

Liberty is always dangerous, but it is the safest thing we have.

What do we need government for anyway?

Everything the free market does is better than what government does.

Would you rather graduate from Harvard or the University of New Mexico? Would you rather own a Yugo or a BMW?

If a private association like the MPAA can regulate movies, why can’t the private market regulate other things?

When the TSA fingers your asshole and pulls your cock, is the real purpose to protect you or to make you feel like a degraded s***e?

When people smoke now, people just call the police on them, but people in the past either took some personal responsibility and ignored smokers, moved away from smokers, or asked smokers to go somewhere else. The problem with a police state is everyone now is either or a s***e or a criminal. Who pays the taxes to pay for tyranny?

If smoking is dangerous, can’t nonprofits raise funds to pay for educational campaigns that warn of the dangers of smoking instead of outlawing smoking?

Can’t people use the BBB to verify if a business is good or not instead of forcing companies to pay fees to get a government business license?

https://www.bbb.org

Can’t private charities funded by volunteer donations provide homeless shelters and soup kitchens instead of being at forced at the point of a gun by the government to pay taxes that fund welfare?

Can’t people use guns to protect themselves instead of relying on the Gestapo?

Worse... Younger people were never taught it in school. Us older folks can attest that this country is now, nothing like the country I grew up in. We were free until the 60s.

After what happened in the 60s, I don't think the government wanted young people concentrating on freedom. It was much safer having them concentrating on basket weaving and video games.

If you spent months indoors trying to warn Americans about the dangers of tyranny, you might be horrified to find out that reality is worse than what you thought.

You can't even travel to another city now without going to the doctor and getting a physical.

You must wear a mask, carry canvas bags around because plastic bags are illegal, your mobile phone is wiretapped, and you can't smoke.

Maybe the worst part of living in a police state is that everyone thinks that the USA has never had this much freedom before and everything is wonderful.

Insanity.
