Wow, just... wow. Talk about emotional! That was quite a rant. It truly is a shame that you couldn't throw a bit of logic in there to support your
premise, instead of relying on raw emotion.
Begging the moderator's indulgence, I will attempt to respond to some of the more salient points of you rant, and then hopefully we can get back to
the thread topic. Should you desire further discourse on the matter, you are welcome to start a thread on THIS subject, U2U a link to me where I can
find it, and I'll be more than happy to finish dukeing it out with you there. I won't respond any further to your rants in this thread.
Yes, I am an American. From your rant I can see that you are not. Otherwise you would be aware of the responses to your notions. If it makes you feel
any better, the ones you think of as "Americans" DID try to erase my culture, even to the point of disallowing the elders to teach the young ones
our native tongue. It failed miserably, and the culture still survives, but at last count there were only 287 of us left who could speak it.

violence is what America was based on.
No, we are not. If you prefer to think so, then of course you are entitled to that fantasy, but really, you should get out more, and look at the real
world around you. Furthermore, America was based on disallowing anyone else to force THEIR reality on us. That original value is what I advocate a
return to. America did not become a "superpower" until after World War II.

Now that you are interested and emotional try being honest and you will have to admit that Americas democracy ,ESPECIALLY THE WAY AMERICA INTERPRETS
THE WORD ITSELF,IS NO LONGER ABLE TO EXIST WITHOUT BEING GLOBAL
I have not been emotional since well before my father died ten years ago. That's probably the reason I can't hang on to a wife. You are mistaken in
your assumption that America is a Democracy, but I can forgive that, as it's a common misconception. America is a Federal Republic. I can only think
of one thing that I want from anywhere else on the globe, and I assure you, we would not cease to exist for lack of it.

America must go global in its support and pursuit of democracy OR THEY WILL SOON BE FOLLOWING INSTEAD OF LEADING.
I can see no reason why America should either lead OR follow. Why do you need a leader? are your own not capable? See above for my thoughts on what a
farce Democracy is. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, Democracy is two wolves and one sheep voting on what's for supper.

To go global they have to clean house and tell their own people all the lies they have forced upon them.Then they have to inform their people that
they are no more important than any other human on earth,that we are all equal and entitled to an equal share of the earths resources,period.
Like you said it would be dangerous to try to rearrange your furniture.Why dont you ask yourself why you seem to think its YOUR FURNITURE and not OUR
FURNITURE?Oh yes ,I forgot,your guns,right!
Please point out to me where I said I am 'more important' than anyone else. I seem to have missed that. Of course we are 'all entitled to our share
of resources', perhaps not equally, but those which we are able to work out of our own places. When someone else decides to take my share of
resources, then yes, we have a problem. I don't want your resources. Please, keep them with my compliments, and wrest them from the earth on your
own.
Of course my furniture is MY furniture, and not YOURS. Not because of anyone's guns, but because I built it myself, with my own two hands, out of my
own resources, all American hardwoods. Pray tell what part of that equation gives you any proper claim to it at all? On the subject of guns, which
your rant continually refers to, where did I mention anything about guns in the post you referenced? Again, I missed it. It's preposterous to think I
would shoot someone over furniture. I would, however, assist them in locating the front door, no firearms required. It's possible that if they
resisted the eviction, damage could result. Not my problem, it's my house.

fashioned HOUSECLEANING,AND POLITICIANS ARENT ENOUGH MY FRIENDS,ITS A START BUT NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH.
If the world needs America, they should behave like it. Otherwise, I'm all for leaving them alone, to stand under their own power or not, as they are
capable. To be honest, WE don't need our crooked politicians either, but I've already said that. Also, to be honest, I see nothing of America's
ideals in your post, so I'm having trouble believing that part. I suspect your 'old fashioned housecleaning' would include the liquidation of
Americans such as myself. You DO appear to have a problem with independent folk. As I said above, America itself has tried to liquidate 'my kind',
unsuccessfully. If you believe anyone else would have a better chance, we ain't hard to find.

Who exactly are you to dictate what rights I have? How is it you have a right to dictate to me, but I have no right to defend myself? Of course I have
a right to my own culture. Both of them, in fact. Please show me the error of my thought process, logically, rather than emotionally. I have never
killed anyone to extend either of my cultures. I HAVE, however killed to preserve them. Not my right to be 'special', my right to determine my own
destiny, and culture for that matter. I suspect I will die of old age before anyone is able to 'teach me' whatever lesson you are attempting to
impart. How would they 'teach me that' anyway? by killing me? That makes me less than human, now doesn't it?

Again, America is NOT a democracy. Never was, although the misguided have attempted to make it so. I stand by what I said about a World Government, as
you've provided no evidence otherwise. Actually, you have given us a glimpse of what is in store for free people under your concept of World
Government. as far as the proportion of Americans who view world government as a threat, you haven't been to America or talked to her people lately,
have you? It shows.
I am unwilling to further derail this thread with any more discourse on this off-topic subject. Should you desire further conversation in this area,
please feel free to start a thread on this topic. The topic HERE is the Celente interview, and this discourse has taken up entirely too much space on
one miniscule segment of it.
