What about "One nation, under God, indivisible..."?

Many of the people whining in this thread are merely dinosaurs living in the past, not realizing time has passed them by.
People yelling about State's Rights are basically similar to a gangbanger in Compton. He's throwing up signs, wearing his little colors yelling, "Compton fool! Eastside 21st Ave!".
The little idiot doesn't realize that the world is so much bigger than his little block!
People crying that America is going down the tubes are the same.
IT'S BIGGER THAN AMERICA NOW! We live in a society that is going GLOBAL. There will be a One world Government, it only makes sense. It's the next evolutionary step.
Sure there will be some bumps in the road, and we have to let the dinosaurs die out, you know those who still are fighting for their little block LOL!
Ladies and gentleman prepare to see a COMPLETELY different world in the next hundred years! A lot of the ills that have plagued us will be destroyed. A lot of people aren't for this because their minds haven't evolved enough yet. They are like Australian Bull Dog ants who are more primitive than say Fire ants because they still live in small groups (30-50) ants while Fire ants live in colonies that can count in the millions.
The people we see complaining are people who probably should have been born in the 19th century if not the 17th or 16th century. They don't realize the worlds population doesn't allow for them to just be "left alone". There isn't anymore, "I don't like how things work here so I'm going to move west and build a log cabin and eat squirrels and the chickens I raise."

I can hear the Feds say it now; "Oh you need assistance with Food or Healthcare? Do you live in Montana? Ask them! Oh you need a highway, bridge or airport fixed? Sorry, you live in Montana.
The level of disobedience required on a State level would be fiscal suicide.
Is it not true, was the Constitution not written for Land owning white males?

If they were actually serving the American people they would have disbanded the fed and wiped out the debt and threw out every amendment to the federal constitution from 11 to 27.
See, this is where I disagree
They are serving the people.
The -people- (aka us) are just self serving....so yes..they are doing exactly what they were voted in to do...help us in our selfish ways remain selfish.
What do you mean by selfish?
Our politicians are a perfect example of where the state of the union is...and until we start accepting blame and understanding that they are not a cause, they are a reflection, then we will forever be washing out the old and putting in new scapegoats for us.
People will continue voting because they honestly believe that we still live in the same United States that our forefathers founded.

Of the people, By the people, and for the people..not when convenient..but always
Holy ****. Voters knowingly sent representatives to washington to write and pass NAFTA and GATT so corporations could offshore their jobs to Mexico and Asia?
You're right, that was pretty darned selfish of the voters.

Henry came to terms with his hippocracy long after his "liberty or death" speech. At the time of that speech, he had acquired over 64 slaves. The irony is not lost for that address pleading against "chains and slavery".
NAFTA was at the time cheered on...the concept of uniting north America into a great trade was thought to be bringing all sorts of new opportunity.

I do not understand why Americans dont accept the fact that they need to go back and fix the past before they can plan for the future. There was a coup de tat in America when JFK was murdered and no one has ever done anything about it. The entire world is scared of the American government because no one knows who they really are.
The only way you will see legal legitimate governmental change in a country as large and globally influential as the United States is if it comes from within, this means that if one single American walks into a courtroom and begins the legal processes needed to readdress the JFK coldcase and the rest of America rallys around this movment with all of their hearts and might, you see this is an ugly situation and it all revolves around that coup de tat and the men who orchestrated and pulled it off. Only America and God know how deep the deciet runs, seing as God is always busy I guess this leaves it up to Americans to solve their own problem from within. Fighting the current government isnt the battle you need to fight, the current administration is only recognised based on a coup de tat history, therefore if you go back and right history you right America and if you dont go back and do that then you have no true America. You dont have to fight your current government you need to offer them the chance to partake in the national Identity cleansing, and if they refuse to help you find 100% of the truth with 100% of their energies then you disenfranchise them by proxy, one way or another you will get America back if you find and punish and write into history these traitors to America. Find Kennedys murderers and protect not one and you will restore America to her rightful place in history.
I could not agree more. Those rungs in the ladder to enlightenment are missing and while we have a good idea as to who was involved, it has to be totally ferreted out and made public knowledge from within. If everyone demanded the truth on this, it would certainly happen.

No, we were TOLD it was cheered on. The cheering crowd was Corporate America via their henchmen in the mainstream media. And yeah, they intended to use it to open new "opportunities", for themselves. Flying colors.
Americans got food stamps out of the deal. Yay.

You may be right…it certainly was a catalyst for the largest power grab we’ve seen in a while.
