I'm surprised more people can't see through this like I and some others can? Or is it that they don't want to see it?

Ive heard plenty of times that it's the Haves vs the Have Not's but I disagree, it's the Want's vs the Want Not's. We have reached the apex of any democracy where the voters have realized that they can vote in the representatives that will give them the most hand outs, and the government is more than happy to oblige the voters at the expense of liberty.

Puts it all together. Every major event that has brought us to where we are today. Frightening in it's implication. Although the video makes the argument at the end that "We the People" can stop this, IMO, it is way too late. Orwell's 1984 doesn't even begin to describe what we are living through right now and what is to come.

'It doesn't matter who wrote the quote because that quote is intrinsically true. As soon as the freeloaders vote in liberals that promise and deliver benefits to the takers, any democracy runs out of people to tax, and the result is bankruptcy.!
I have a hard time faulting them on that myself, being a prison guard is a crapy job with a high turnover rate. The military has to keep an active pool of folks trained in this for legitimate reason, besides the idea of having potentially to run a POW camp during a war, they have their own prison system for military criminals such as Fort Leavenworth.

Some my say to the OP oh this fear mongering. But is it ?
Why is the US army still hiring and training camp guards ? Other than Gitmo I am not aware of the need of so many soldiers to do this job.
You are correct.

A really easy way to see this was when Mr. Paul was running for pres. Remember how both sides attacked him. Why would they do that?
....but it is not a little disconcerting when the same federal government that is building these internment camps begins categorizing Christians, conservatives, people who support the Second Amendment, people who oppose abortion and homosexual marriage, people who oppose the North American Union and the New World Order, people who oppose the United Nations and illegal immigration, and people who voted for Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin as "extremists," or "potential dangerous militia members.

It always worries me when something like this is posted without any backup or criticism. Did the OP do any research into the makers of this video, the veracity of content. Does it 'buy' it hook, line and sinker without any reflective thought or questions.
In fact the only comment on the material is "Puts it all together". Any opinion at all - or just "I'll drink to that".
Lazy, lazy, lazy.
Is this just pandering to a perceived bias of the board to get attention?
Should not an OP provide some backup and sources to posted material - or is the rule "if it's on the internet and meets with my bias it must be true" in full effect (affect?? - help me out here).
