Huh?

Lol, you are sooooooooo misguided, my naive friend.

You rant and rave with no facts.

Let me ask this:

How does the government demand your life?

How does your government demand your liberty?

How does your government demand your death?

Actually, she said "the world" demands it. Is the world the government?

Think for yourself.

I do think for myself, I've lived overseas! I'm well traveled and whats taken place in America is sad!

During the 9/11 I was in Australia having lunch in one of the many pubs. The Twin towers flashed across the T.V screen, as the tower toppled down, people were cheering on, running into the street yelling, the great whore is coming down. It was very frighten to see this and be an American so far from home, trying to get back was hard, all flights were held over. We are no longer viewed as the strong ones, China is now feared, we no longer have the power, not the good standing we had with many in the past.

If I want know about slaver/ communism, I'll ask family members who are more then willing to share their stories !

You shouldn't have to ask your family members since you've said we are salves and communist already. If you believe that, then you know first hand.

No one is saying American doesn't have problems, but it seems your ideas of evil is a bit excessive.

One of American's biggest problems is what it was founded on - - our freedom.

I'm not trying to be rude, but your justification makes NO sense whatsoever. And, I have always found that people who think for themselves can articulate their own thoughts, and do not cut and paste diatribes from websites.

This is a forum, one view their thoughts on matters. I don't walk around all day thinking on these issues. I have a life, I live it!

I cut and paste due to the fact I don't have the time to spend on the internet, we live off the grid, solar power . As soon as we move onto our property will have electric power...
