Because they are all fat blubbery cowards who are all talk and feeding their fat faces...and no action. They really could not give two fucks about liberty or freedom. All they care about is their next fucking meal and not getting in trouble for anything. All they do now is cry and complain with a face stuffed with hotpockets. |

You have just been sheltered in a hyper-patriotic bubble your whole life. We'll see how "exceptional" you think the USA is in 5 years. If lady liberty takes a knee.. the entire world will suffer a great and terrible tragedy. The planet and it's people will starve. Make no mistake, WW2 will look like an antifa peaceful protect compared to the days after America falls. There is barely a soul alive that understands by experience what disaster is to come in the wake of the death of america. If other countries were so great, ie China, Russia, Iran, etc.... they wouldn't have had to steal from the USA. They are only as great as they are because of the exceptional technology stolen from America. you know it! never forget the first time I unwrapped a stick of butter in front of a German who was a child after World War II. He was aghast that I was going to throw the wrapper away. He took a knife and painstakingly scraped ever last tiny morsel of butter remaining. "you in America never starved, I see" was his quiet comment. Humbling. :bf8: I knew someone personally who was a boy during the height of Stalin. And yes, most people in America have no clue of what real hardship consist of, it's an ugly thing. Roughly 1/2 of his family vanished. He was Ta-Tar from the Ukraine. The closest example of this we have today is China's mass incarceration of the Uyghurs. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Could something similar occur in the U.S.? I don't know. Maybe, it's possible. Given how easily most people are swayed into group think from things like the crown virus, it's not too difficult to persuade the masses into submissive behavior without resorting to very unpopular mass incarcerations. I've met people from places that have endured brutal civil wars, like Liberia as an example. The horror those people endured was beyond the scope of imagination of the squishy-feely Americans. I don't know what the future holds. So, it's just not worth what energy I have to focus on something that hasn't occurred and may or may not occur. If shit really becomes bad, I'll deal with those times when or if they come. We humans have the power to manifest what we think into reality. If everyone is focused on chaos, then that's what will unfold. If we collectively put forth our energy to bring about peace, we could surely accomplish this idea. Each individual has to take that step. One by one, we can simply leave the chaos behind us and move forward into a better place. It's not difficult, it's just an idea in people's minds that needs to take shape. However, with that said. The people in control of this world keep our minds filled with fear, uncertainty, idealisms that can never be realized; keeping us divided in the process of it all. Ideas are the power to shape reality. And that's what is under assault in our world. Ideas are the one thing that scare the living shit out of powerful people. Remember, ideas are what these people fear. Not guns, not countries, not gangs, not crazy people. The U.S. Constitution is an Idea individual liberty. And this my friend is the most dangerous idea to people who want to rule. Liberty. |

You have to view them the same way. Quoting: PresidentElect BlueStateRebel Consider what Washington & the Founding Fathers went through. What we will have to go through will probably be similar, if not worse. Dude, our founding fathers were a bunch of well off guys gathering in a kitchen signing their signatures because they knew they were probably dead in the next couple of years.

User ID: 79436619 United States 02/11/2021 08:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | USA wasn't taking J immigrants looking for a place to escape from Europe. Some ended up going all the way to Shanghai, which did take them. USA had a large J population even then, how else to explain why we were not taking them? Quoting: oniongrass That wasn't at the core of Roosevelt's bigotry. His lack of integrity and ethics - which people of the left often are guilty of - apparently fueled his bigotries in general. Roosevelt never congratulated black American track star Jesse Owens for winning multiple gold medals of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Owens long pointed that snub out (that's something today's leftist BLMers at least would have some reason to bitch about) and noted that even Hitler at least did as much. Another thing about liberal Democrat star FDR: After he jacked up income taxes, he privately lobbied the IRS to exclude his own large income from the legislation he enacted. Roosevelt was doing an Obama-Clinton-Biden number well before Obama, Bill/Hillary and Joe entered the American scene. One black athlete is so important that you remember it 80 years later whether he congratulated him? That's the "core of his bigotry"? What if he didn't care about any athletes? They aren't important after all. Horses are faster, they had cars by then that were even faster. .
