DNC: The Diabolical National Communist, by Leona

As Americans, we believe that our rights to live freely will always remain intact because of the constitutional laws that founded this country. However, the very freedoms that were fought so hard to achieve are slowly and silently being taken away right out from under the American people. Perhaps the most disturbing factor in this stealthy operation, we’re allowing it to happen and are surprisingly doing it to ourselves. “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves” – Abraham Lincoln.

Like many young Americans that have reached voting age, I was not fully aware of the intricate details in political stances, whether it be Republican, Democrat or even the lesser mentioned third party affiliates. Until recently, I would have considered myself as one of the many sheep being herded blindly by our government. We are being forced into this defecated corner while our wool (money) is being harvested. Now cold and covered in our own crap, we get tagged for the deplorable basket and led off to slaughter.

It is incredible the volume of obvious crimes Secretary Hilary Clinton has committed that go unpunished and seemingly unnoticed in Washington. A recent video posted online by James O’Keefe of an undercover investigation proves the DNC pays out a lot of money to various people, including the mentally unstable and homeless, to incite riots at Trump rallies. Scott Foval, who put plan to action on the ground, explained to the reporter in detail how they accomplish massive voter fraud and have been doing it for decades. The undercover agent was further introduced to other operatives higher on the Clinton chain of command, who were described as diabolical and admired for it. They were just as eager to throw money at their plan to sway people’s opinions about the character of our possible future president. This is not anything new, just a game of analytics and propaganda to the socialist.

It can easily be argued that the media has been biased while covering the recent presidential campaign due to the amount of positive vs. negative filtering on each one of the candidates. Fox News appears to be the only network that will cover both nominees in a controversial light. But even some of their reporters have a problem staying the proper course to only inform the people and not persuade.

The coverage of presidential nominee Donald Trump’s absurd indignities was not nearly as compelling as what was revealed about Secretary Clinton. However, the damning information revealed in correspondence with her political affiliations seem to be less of a focus. The Clintons have been part of their own political foundation for a long time and only benefit more if they achieve the thrown in which they have created within the United States. Evidence already shows that Hilary Clinton holds no issue to being a hypocrite because she admits to having both a public and a private opinion. Telling someone only what they want to hear but doing what you want instead is no doubt the way of someone who is two-faced.

The release of documents show that lots of money has been given to Clinton and her foundation by Wall Street’s business interests for her to give private speeches that tell these powerful companies what they want to hear to make them all richer off the American people. Hilary Clinton is quick to back peddle and shift focus when questioned about the conflicting messages on policy that she holds in front of Americans verses what she tells her campaign donors. Any attorney that holds truth to their law degree would advocate that Clinton’s conduct goes against the most basic rule of law, conflict of interests. However, Secretary Clinton laughs in the face of those who want her to release transcripts of the paid speeches and throws the question in the pile with all the other evidence she destroys or refuses to produce. Yet again, the America people are left with ongoing deceitful rhetoric diversion tactics and no real answers.

As a candidate for president, there are specific ways to talk to the public. Secretary Clinton has been a career politician for three decades and knows how to address the audience platform by speaking on what she knows voters want to hear. Unfortunately, her Republican opponent is not as articulate and ends up leaving the people questioning everything about our election process entirely. It might not be farfetched to consider that the political elite have planned this barrage of idiocracy for a long time and Donald Trump was an easy target.

Bottom line is that Secretary Clinton is a proven liar and a corrupt politician. She has been in cohorts with some of the most immoral and unethical people who send her millions of dollars to gain special access. She is a sellout against America’s future interests by giving the paying hate groups what they want. It is a sad state of affairs when anyone who has their hand deep in local and foreign pockets goes unaffected by what they have done in both their private and public stances.

Secretary Clinton talks a good game but her actions speak volumes in comparison. The American people should be deafened by the overwhelming amount of proof that has come to light. Clinton has done an excellent job of deflecting her behavior onto her opponent Donald Trump by pointing her finger as if she were a toddler on the playground. In regards to the any correspondence that was hacked or leaked, she would rather publicize serious accusations on Russia’s Vladimir Putin in order to draw attention away from the fact that the DNC plays theatrics with Americans like stupid puppets in a marionette show.

Watching the final presidential debate last night worried me extensively. Secretary Clinton’s loose lips will sink ship by when she starts a war with Russia over horrendous allegations against our people while Donald Trump continues to be the missing link with his incoherent business talk. The proof behind the DNC operatives quests too constantly bash anyone that does not agree with their campaign, point fingers and pay for campaign interference shows that they are attempting to rig the system in their favor. They know what they are doing is wrong and illegal but the Democratic approach, which was stated on tape numerous times, is “Don’s ask for permission but beg for forgiveness”.

Our country is being invaded by the scariest of people and Clinton’s campaign wants to allow millions to flood our nation. Criminals and terrorist are being given a key to our back door and are laughing at us while they kill our families through drugs or violent attacks. Why would our government allow so many people to come to this country all at once and take precedence over our own people that have been waiting in the line for years? Control the vote and you will control the population, which is exactly what our current President and the Clintons have been working towards all their lives by tossing up citizenships and giving them an election ballot as the quid pro quo.

In conclusion, the presidential election has become a complete joke and resembles more of circus act then representation of the direction our country should be moving towards. In order to solve this issue we must stand together as born and raised Americans to fight for what founded this country. There is nothing wrong with people from other countries wanting to become citizens, but they need stay at the back of the line while we take care of our own livelihood first.

There needs to be full disclosure on every side of political affiliations before you can be considered to hold a political office and continue throughout the term. Checks and balances need to stay in place to hold anyone suspected of corruption accountable if private investigations provide evidence of crimes that have been committed, especially treasonous acts against our country.

As far as voter fraud is concerned, steps should be implemented for every legitimate voter to verify their citizenship and eligibility to vote. This could be sorted through a black box data system compiled with facial recognitions and fingerprints that would make it impossible for duplicate votes or the use of deceased patrons’ stolen information. As an American with a right to vote on my next president, I take pride in the fact that I have to prove my identity because it lessens the chance that I will be a victim without at least knowing it. If anyone objects to prove who they are to vote – even though it is the law to show identification to get on an airplane, achieve a passport or during common encounters with police officers – then they should not be allowed to cast a ballot. No individual should be able to weigh in on the control of a country if they have a problem proving their exclusive membership to the club.

What did you do to piss those people off?

WHAT?

I’ve been watching the news for several years. I mean intensely. Right about halfway through those several years a thought occurred to me that I don’t know what’s going on even if I HAVE been watching the news. I mean seriously, I’m not kidding, it’s not a joke, watching everywhere I could possibly watch news. I watched on the antenna, on cable, on the national networks, and finally on the internet. I became a news junky, a news sleuth, a news detective, a news researcher. And did it for, like I said, several years.

Okay, call it RABIDLY watching. I was possessed.  After the first bunch of unusual news articles it was massively alarming and needed further investigation.  Why were my local antenna news stations just putting clown advertisements and giveaways instead of some kind of real news now?

I’m supposing, and deciding, that if someone else were only watching regular antenna TV, or even cable TV they would not even be getting the news because that had become some kind of joke. (To actually call it news any more) And not even someone that had to work for a living and didn’t have time to watch.

I’m over here minding my own beeswax, trying to make ends meet, and trying to get my lawn mowed before it gets so high that I needed a bush hog to get it down. Unlike some people I can’t afford to pay someone to do it for me so I mow in patches and take a week to do it. We paid taxes all these years to make sure all the government officials got their paychecks too, before our bodies couldn’t do that routine any more.  And now where is that money going?

I save hundreds of news articles for later comparison. I sort them by categories. I see many repeated events. I see one thing that starts to stand out like a sore thumb (among many others)

I’m wonder why the heck is North Korea threatening to atomic bomb the U.S.?

I’m wonder why all of a sudden (seems like) everyone hates Americans?

Now I’m wondering why people from a foreign country is trying to kill everyone all over the world?

Who the hell put a bee in their bonnet? I only ever actually hated a couple of people in this world and never wanted to kill them. So what got all these people all riled up? But then, I’m watching a whole bunch of foreign countries over there in OTHER peoples countries doing who knows what.

And, of course, that’s all secret we aren’t allowed to know.  I mean, I learned a long time ago that other people, no matter how well intentioned, know what’s best anyhow.  But now we are supposed to trust the people who run the world to know what’s best, and not only that but they are not required to tell us what they are actually DOING?

I know people well enough to know that the bullies you knew in high school frequently grow up to be even bigger bullies. Many times people you thought had grown out of that bent of mind turn bully again when given the power to do so. And because they now do not have parental supervision, and have learned even better ways to get more power.

I learned that even family doctors do not know best. Even your local government does not know best. And even someone that seems to be upstanding can be the biggest liar and convincer all the while stealing you blind and taking all your rights and possessions, and slandering you in the process to make it look as if you are just like they are.

I’ve watched the mainstream media and became convinced that they are no longer reporting the real news. Of course there are some that do, but the majority now have become biased in some way or another.  I thought a reporter reported news.  Now they have commentary, opinions, and leave out all but what reflect whatever solidifies the agenda they might be trying to put forward for the uninformed people that work for a living.

I‘ve watched the lawmakers take the constitution and act as if they do not understand the wording of it. And make laws that are completely contrary to that document, which I thought was an agreement made by the American people to make sure there was an America to live in instead of a Socialist, Communist, Dictatorship, Ruler, Kingship kind of country.

I’ve watched in our time, our government make agreements with NON American bodies such as the U.N. which puts forward the document Agenda 21 that proposes that people are not capable of taking care of their own private property, and that it should be run by a foreign world government.  We need to be managed, along with everything we own too.

Even in the town I live in you cannot put up yard sale signs anywhere except in your own front yard, and so what if nobody even drives down your street to see them. Don’t you dare put signs at the end of the street or you’ll be fined.  Hey you’ll be lucky if you get one customer, or even that people that live on your street know you are having a yard sale.  And you might end up in jail if you can’t find the money to pay a fine.  Ooops!

I’ve watched our own government confiscate thousands of acres of land in the name of making it even more difficult for there to be private ownership of land. This is control on a huge scale. On a world scale.

I’ve watched them be in the middle of wars, and instigating wars in foreign countries and then bring thousands of people they cannot verify back to America to live. And I’ve seen them TELL people it’s okay to come here and give money that everyone that is an American worked hard to donate to the stewardship of our government.

Social Security and Welfare was never meant to be for non Americans was it?

Voting rights were never meant to be for non Americans was it?

American schools were never meant to be for non American children was it?

I’ve seen them try to make fun of established religions and slander them and try to put in place new religions as more valid. Woe to you if you disagree, of course that makes you “PREJUDICE”  and “RACIST” and “BIASED”.  Even though your children are being indoctrinated while at public school.

So now in America we are not supposed to have an opinion or a feeling about anything that directly affects us? I was under the impression that Americans came first in America.

Oh, I forgot, the constitution is now considered to be outdated and must be changed to reflect the new people in power and what they want. Not everyone, just them. And of course, those people who will support them.  Normally the ones that they are giving our tax dollars to.

Has anyone forgotten that Hitler did just that? He abolished the German Constitution. Then no one could stop him. Except people who DID have a Constitution. Those that were still free of his influence.  Those that were FREE.

And right now In other countries where things are not free are a bunch of pissed off people out to kill the rest of us.

What is pissing these people off?

WHO is pissing these people off?

And why are they pissing these people off?

National Security? by George Jenias

  A person that I met once said they spent three years of their life in Germany trying to clean up the mess of war.  It just so happened that they had a secret clearance that invaded every facet of their life even after they left there.  What continued for 20 years after was that when their name came up on a document every so often they were checked and members of their family, friends, and acquaintances were questioned about what they had done over there, what they were saying about over there, what they knew over there in Germany and every other question that might be asked. And it should be.

And I am sure that if you had asked THEM a question about security, they would have said it was none of your business.

And then to see what Hillary is doing about Benghazi, about being questioned, about the extreme carelessness of her email setup in her BASEMENT, about all the lies that she tells, about all the money that her husband and her steal and manipulate, about the people that have died as a result of it, and what the government has done, without any regard to our freedom and our privacy or security.

Every day, all day long, we get told about how “nice” they are, how wonderful they are, and we hear this all day every time we turn on a newscast, tv, cable.  and all these people that are robbing, killing, stealing, and they don’t give a darn. They never hear you, theyre too busy lying to you and being bad, and using your own money to screw you.  They are too busy getting what they want. They don’t care about you or national security.

The question needs to be asked, what is it that they do care about?

How one half controls the other half of the United States

An article from one of my guest writers and commentators. Here is his most recent article.

Hope and change revisited by Anon E. Mous

America’s Cake

To the people in half of the United States that only care about themselves. That would be Washington DC, federal employees, State employees, City governments, and those categories.

When you realise that around fifty percent of the people in this country, the United States, support the OTHER fifty percent of the people with over half of every dollar that they earn as an individual is used to take care of the other half that basically contribute very little or nothing for the working persons benefit.

The government, ninety percent of them have no idea what an honest days work is.  Yet they harvest your money in every conceivable manner.  They hire more federal workers, who get a paycheck off of your back.  Now, they have another vote because no federal employee wants to lose his lavish high paying job that he really doesn’t deserve. But they become afraid of the fact that this will happen. So they take more of your money that they did not earn and start a “support program”, free giveaway, to anybody and everybody that is up for grabs.

And they have another hoard of people that don’t want to work and they are also afraid of losing their paycheck.

Then there are the commercial parts of the country.  They intend to make millions of dollars on creating discontent amongst the public.  They will say, lie, and do anything within their power, and power is what it is about.  Because if you take away their power, you will find something about them that they already know.  That they are worthless.  Without the money that they have manipulated out of the position that they have lied to get into.  Is the only thing that they have to pay to manipulate, lie and cheat their way into more.

When you consider that around half of the people are working hard every day to make ends meet, the other half are afraid of losing their paycheck, or free ride.  So, the commericial establishment uses every manipulative lie to control this class of people.  This is not to say that everyone that recieves a governent check does not deserve it.  Some people, most people that are on social security earned that money throughout their lives, and put into the system.

Oh, but wait a minute.  It was taken from those hardworkers through their paychecks . . . automatically every week or month.

But we thought: “That’s okay, that’s the Government, and they’re just keeping our money safe for us”  But the reality is that our money in Social Security is there so that they can reach over and get it, and use it for every program they can figure out how to manipulate.

Then they say:
“oh well, all you hard working people, your money is still there. We “borrowed” it from you.  We just can’t figure out how we’re going to pay it back.”

THIS is not about one thing.

This is about everything that goes on in Washington and the United States.  Now that they have half of the country living off of the other half and the Federal Government wasting more than just half of the country can contribute.

We now have to “borrow” money to pay for their stupid programs, and also to maintain their “voting block”, because no Government employee, IRS employee, wants to vote themselves out of a paycheck.  And neither does anybody on a government sponsored program.

And over many years changing laws that give more power by subverting existing Constitutional Rights over anyone that might protest or be able to stop them.  Witness changing the meaning, function, and control of The National Guard over the years as one prime scary instance.

So when the politicians reach a point that they don’t have enough people getting free handouts, that get a check and don’t want to lose it, they want to change the Immigration laws to ensure the fact that they cannot be voted down.

And if that doesn’t work we will just hire more people for the TSA, NSA, IRS, Homeland Security, FEMA, and all the SS Troops. They too will not vote themselves out of a paycheck.

And now we have enough Government troops to control those hard working people that are sick of it. And the hardworking people payed for that too.

If it ever comes to a day of reckoning in the United States, you will see people running out of Washington like rats from a sinking ship. Not only that, all of the free money ends.  Think about it.  When this happens, and the free money is no longer there.  The food is no longer there.  The housing is no longer there. The free stuff is no longer there. It’s going to be a long, hard, suffering, dry time during which you’ll say:

“Where is the America that I came to live in?”

“Where is the freedom that I wanted but was willing to work for, and did not”

And these methods don’t know any country boundaries. You have destroyed your dream and everyone elses dream because you allowed and helped the bureaucrats, Washington Elites, and their cronies to do whatever you said. To change, manipulate, reword, change, and destroy The Consitution Of The United States for self serving power and money.

Stop calling it GOVERNMENT MONEY

I didn’t know this stuff, but I want to know

There should be an understanding of what rights you have if you are an American citizen or want to be one.  There should be some kind of complete understanding of what the BILL OF RIGHTS, THE CONSTITUTION, THE FEDERALIST PAPERS, and the writings and history of America in our history books, at school, and wherever people are to become or apply for being American citizens.

As far as I know if you aren’t an American citizen, you don’t have those rights, but probably I’m one of those stupid taxpayers that need to learn better some history.  If you do have those rights without being an American citizen, then I guess my public school is at fault for not teaching me about this secret history.  More likely I was too busy working for a living and paying in taxes that pay for those perks that only other Americans have a right to.

I remember being told by a vet from the Cold War that when he was in Germany he was required to watch a movie and listen to some sort of long lecture on the German people when he first went there.  Is there somthing like that when immigrants come here to the United States of America?  If not, there should be.

I am probably one of the millions of uninformed Americans.  For instance, I hear about illegal aliens coming here, living for years, having babies, putting them in public school, living whole generations and not being American citizens.  I hear that billions are costing for the health concerns of people that are not American citizens. The money that pays for that comes from American citizens that work for a living.  They donate many hours of their lives in the form of hours worked and money in taxes.  I understand that a percentage of immigrants work for a living.  But do they pay taxes too?

What I don’t understand is who is paying for the American benefits that they recieve all the while they are doing that?  I’m going to have to research this further, because I’m probably stupid and don’t know the real facts.

It must have been a scary life.  Hiding, wondering if you’d be found out.  Hoping your children could grow up without being found out.  Worrying that you’d be sent back to whatever hell you came from.  And your kids?  Did they think they actually were American?  Or were they worrying the whole time, their whole life that they would be sent back themselves.  Or that you would be sent back without them?

But did anyone thank tax paying Americans for funding all of this?  Are we funding this?  Hey dummies, the government runs on money they get from other people called Americans.  Americans are the ones that give dues to this club they call America in the form of money from their paychecks.  The government workers don’t even get a paycheck if American money isn’t payed each year to the government.

STOP CALLING IT GOVERNMENT MONEY.  The government does not create money.  The government collects it from taxpayers, citizens, American citizens.

It (The Government) would not have money if citizens did not give it to them. The Government spends money.  It spends the taxpayers money.  And it is becoming abundantly clear that it spends it many times without permission, discussion, or anyone even knowing about it.  If you have a secret budget, then you have secret spending.

And if I’ve been paying for some hidden costs, then I want to know about it.  Some of my tax dollars ought to go towards a newsletter of some sort that comes out monthly, or a flyer, or SOMETHING, that tells me where all my tax dollars are being spent.

Because I totally spit up on the idea of people getting American benefits when they aren’t even willing to become American citizens.  I totally spit of on the idea that NON AMERICANS can get up and protest anything they hate in this country.

The rules of the club of America are needed to be read out loud, and broadcasted to everyone in America.  Why we don’t have a public protest over that subject I don’t know.  Because if people who aren’t American citizens can get up and protest loudly, and men who pay taxes, and are sent to possibly die for their country cannot protest this, then will I protest myself.

And I actually have the right to do that because I am an American Citizen.

America is like a big CLUB

I didn’t know this stuff, but I want to know

A BIT OF HISTORY ON GROWING UP AMERICAN

My relatives were living in the Americas before it was the United States of America. (NOTE: I do not believe that makes me better than a recent American!  And . . . I never knew those old people, I’m not old enough) My parents were children of immigrants, or their parents were, or their parents were, so on and so forth. Other relatives were native Americans. My father and mother paid taxes to the government, so did I.  And they taught me to be an American, as did my teachers in school.

Every morning before starting classes in grade school, we said the Pledge To The Allegiance, and sung a patriotic song, and said a prayer. We put our hand over our heart in respect to the American flag, and America.  In fact, the American FLAG was standing in the corner at the front of the room in each and every classroom, and stayed there day and night.  We could see it all day long in class!  We bowed our heads when we prayed in respect to our God and Country.  We learned Respect and Reverence for this country.

(NOTE: I do not believe that everyone should be required to have a religion, as that is illegal in the United States Of America anyway)  Worship as you like, or don’t worship at all.  If you’re American you are free to choose. You just don’t have the right to make other people in America worship the way you want them to.

Anyway, whenever we said the Pledge of Allegiance, at the end of the Pledge, we would say “Indivisible, under God”, our little hearts swelled with pride, sometimes bringing a tear to our eye.  We were taught many other values, but being an American we learned what all that meant.

I say all this not because I think that it’s my way or the highway.  I am only describing a process and patriotism that people who have lived here for long years experienced.  A description so to speak.  Each country I guess has a similar process that they teach children, but what we teach children here is unique.  But here in America we are no different.  We think we are special in many respects.

YOU CAN DIE TO KEEP YOUR COUNTRY

Our ancestors fought and died by the thousands to even have this country.  And many more have died fighting to keep it. I am lucky to even be here, because my father could have been one of those that did not come back after World War Two.  So please keep this in mind when you read what I believe is the opinion of most Americans.  Those of you who came from countries that you got chased out of understand the implications of all this.

AMERICA, THE LOYALTY CLUB

You get certain good things from joining the American Club, although there are some requirements.  You swear loyalty to the flag and the Constitution of The United States of America, The Constitution of The United States (for which it stands), and you pay dues in the form of taxes.  You gotta love America and be loyal to what it stands for.  (I’m big on the loyalty)

You can’t just be a foreign person that comes to The United States and sit your hind end down on the land in this country, and say you’re here, you hate America, give me some stuff I deserve it, or I’m needy, or poor me, or I can’t help it, or whatever excuse there is for not going through the membership process, and the loyalty part.  Presently, (aside from the absence of a lie detector test) there is no measure of loyalty except the willingness to swear to it. There is a line of thought that says you ought to take a lie detector test to prove it.  I tend to agree.

All you have to do is say it.  Some people take an oath like that seriously, and others do not.  The ones that don’t should be slapped roundly, because not meaning it is a lie, and that makes you a liar.

If you don’t do these things then you can’t be part of the club.  (NOTE: the lines are attempting to be blurred here too and most Americans don’t approve of that)  All the many people demanding rights when they are not even members of the club enrages many. They don’t have those rights because they have not met the requirements for being a real American citizen. There is even an ongoing dispute as to what a natural born American is.  Fancy that.

JOINING THE CLUB OF AMERICA

If you are not a member please apply to be one, then fulfill the requirements of membership, and then you’re an American.  If not, then you’re not an American, and you’re not a member, and you don’t have the rights of membership. Go home if you don’t want to join and be loyal and contribute.  Being an American is not just all about your rights, it’s about everyone.

It’s against the law, for you to have American rights and not be an American.  Especially using money from the taxes that other Americans pay that are paid by everyone that has citizenship to waste.  That’s one of the requirements.  (although nowdays I’m not so sure because the lines are being blurred, and extremely so)

And that is why those Americans that see this happening get extremely angry.  They are not bigots.  They are not prejudiced except to the point that what’s good for the goose is also good for the gander.  THEY have to follow these rules.  And they believe anyone else that comes here should too.  It is an injustice to do otherwise.  It is not fair to those Americans that are following the rules of the club.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN AMERICA
And P.S.  Most everyone here mainly speaks English so learn a second language (the one most people understand here).  When you drive a car the roadsigns are in English.  How the heck would you read them?  Even if you memorized each and every one, when they put up roadsigns with emergency cautions for emergencies, those are quite frequently different than the regular ones.  Note, Amber Alerts?

And all policemen don’t know any other language than English.  You see the problem here.

It might take a while, you might not do it perfectly, but people, on the whole appreciate just the fact that you are making an effort.  Who gives a poop whether you have an accent?  The point is that you are trying to communicate. People appreciate that. Then most everyone will understand what you’re trying to say.  And it won’t be so difficult for you to get around. The down side of not doing this is that people get a puzzled look on their faces and shrug a lot and not understand anything that comes out of your mouth.  (what if you need to find a bathroom?)

We even teach our children not to ask and not point for what they want.  We require them to speak instead of pointing.

Free speech is about communication, not acting like an untrained child. Of course you are free to do that, after all it’s America.

If you learn English then you also can also understand who and what you are voting for and not have to reley on what someone else tells you about the people running for office. Sure Americans come from all kinds of countries, we all know that.  We understand how difficult it is to learn English, especially for the elderly. But get with the program and people will start to understand your point of view.

YOU ACTUALLY LEARN TO BE AN AMERICAN, AND TO BE FREE

If they really are an American, each person actually learns how to be an American at some point or another, whether you grew up with it, or just recently came to it.  If you come here and bring your UN American ways of living and thinking, then you get the comparable results to what you used to live. You want to be a Communist, Marxist, Socialist, then leave it where you came from.  Americans never did want all that control over their lives, and still don’t.  If you basically think that people need to be controlled by some other source that knows better what is right in this world, then that thinking does not fit here in America.

Being free doesn’t mean free to take what doesn’t belong to you.  It doesn’t mean free lunch, free government benefits, free housing, free money.  (Even though it has been temporarily made that way in some ways, and which other people Americans end up paying for.)  It doesn’t mean free to hurt other people. It doesn’t mean free to take whatever is handed to you and then be disloyal to everything that America stands for.  For sure it doesn’t mean burning the American Flag.

America would not be special if anybody could just hop on over here and take what they want, get what they want, American or not. And the requirements are not sacrificial.  The requirements are not strenuous.  They are not hard to do.

FREE means free to speak, free to live without someone spying on you and taking your stuff.  Free to make yourself happy and be whatever you decide to be. Free to practise whatever faith you want. Free to own your own part of land and home and place to raise your children. You don’t get that when a government controls all aspects of your life.  You don’t get that from other governments because the ability to make decisions has been taken away from you and given to the government.

WHAT ANGERS AMERICANS

Most Americans are angered when someone that is not an American Citizen comes here for an education or to work and then proceed to try to influence everyone else to their way, the way they lived or do live in whatever other country. Or, like several that I have met, baldly bad mouth anything American while they benefit from what is in America.  Most Americans would say without hesitating:

“If you don’t like what we are here.  If you don’t like America or Americans. Then go back to your own country.”

In other words:  If you aren’t a member of the club then you don’t deserve to get the perks. Especially since the perks are paid for by other Americans. Don’t call it government money because it came from taxpayers.  And they worked for that money.  That’s why they get so upset when it’s wasted.

THE SACRIFICES THAT CONTAIN THE LOYALTY

And additionally, Americans believe that what we enjoy was paid for with great sacrifice and payment and again, LOYALTY.
If you act as if you hate America, Americans, and the things that it stands for, then people wonder why you decided to become and American in the first place.

There must have been SOME reason that you thought it a good idea to be American.  If you are a new American or old.  Why is it that you love being American?  Why did you decide to be an American? Why did you leave somewhere else to be an American?  What can you do as an American that you could not do where you lived before? If you are an American, would you move to another country and change your nationality?

The New Fascism

Another view and correlation with modern times . . .

Kingsjester's Blog

My late father was one of thousands of brave young American men, who landed on the beaches of Normandy , France on June 6, 1944, in the military operation which broke the backs of the Nazis, leading to the end of World War II,  now known as D-Day.

World War II was a war against Fascism.

What is Fascism? Per merriam-webster.com, it is a

political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

Ladies and gentlemen I firmly believe that America is now fighting a new war against fascism.

It’s not a war that is being fought fought with guns and bullets, But instead with state referendums Congressional votes executive orders and judicial activism.

FACT CHECKING Where you can do it

CHECK THE FACTS

FACT CHECKING WEBSITE links and Information about the subject

I’d like to post a bunch of links to fact checking websites where you can compare whether or what is true or not. NOTE:  There is some ongoing discussion about the net about which ones are biased, and I am not yet experienced in this, so you are in the same boat that I am as to whether they are valid or not. I quit when I got tired of looking.  As always, you can contact me if you find a good link to add to this list.

About the Oath Keepers

Here is information about the Oath Keepers direct from their About Page:   http://oathkeepers.org/oath/about/

“About Oath Keepers
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders  who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

That oath, mandated by Article VI of the Constitution itself, is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and Oath Keepers declare that they will not obey unconstitutional orders, such as orders to disarm the American people, to conduct warrantless searches, or to detain Americans as “enemy combatants” in violation of their ancient right to jury trial. See the Oath Keepers Declaration of Orders We Will Not Obey for details.”

This is the first paragraph and the rest of their bylaws are on this page.  As far as I can see, everything is according to Hoyle, and correlates to the Constitution.  And there are ten others.

“Below is a summary of the ten orders listed in the Declaration, that Oath Keepers pledge to not obey, as part of keeping their official oaths:

1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.

2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people . . . . “

US Constitution Series 7: Liberty, Enterprise vs. Free Stuff

From The 5,000 Year Leap—A Miracle that Changed the World

By W. Cleon Skousen

The utopian schemes of leveling [redistribution of the wealth], and a community of goods [central ownership of all the means of production and distribution], are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional. ~Samuel Adams (p.119)

US Constitution Series 7: The Proper Role of Government is to Protect Equal Rights, Not provide Equal Things

Equal Opportunity, Liberty of Enterprise, NOT Equal Income, NOT Free Stuff

In Europe, during the days of the Founders, a popular idea was that government should take from the “haves” and give to the “have nots” so that all might be truly “equal.” However, the American Founders believed that this idea contained a huge fallacy.

Suppose a kind-hearted man saw that one of…

Ignoring the Constitution

This entire blog is pretty darned good

PaladinHouse.com

Many of us look at our country today and wonder where the experiment in self-government went wrong. With the President’s approval rating as of an April 2014 Gallup poll of 43% and Congress’s approval rating hovering around 12% to 14%, more and more Americans are feeling disenfranchised and want to blame the Constitution as the source of the problems saying  its outdated, needs changing or should just be eliminated altogether as some die hard socialists and communists advocate.

The truth however is not that the Constitution does not work, it’s that all too often it’s just  ignored or bypassed as a matter, the politicians claim, of practicality.  The passing of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare is a good example of this bypassing of the founders intent.

Art. I, Sec. 7 part 1 of the US Constitution states

“All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives…

What are the Federalist Papers and other founding documents?

There were other written documents that were involved in the founding of the United States Of America, and until I reached a ripe old age I did not even KNOW they existed!  See what I mean, I really didn’t know that stuff.  Here are some links to informatinon on these additional documents.  I will add any valuable links to this article as I find them.  Most were found from a Google search.  I firmly believe these documents tell what was in the minds of those that wrote our founding documents.  After all, they did write them, and they did it without a ball point pen or a computer.

The Federalist Papers graphic from Wikipedia article on the same

FROM WIKIPEDIA
The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay promoting the ratification of the United States Constitution. Seventy-seven were published serially in The Independent Journal and The New York Packet between October of 1787 and August 1788. A compilation of these and eight others, called The Federalist; or, The New Constitution, was published in two volumes in 1788 by J. and A. McLean.[1] The series’ correct title is The Federalist; the title The Federalist Papers did not emerge until the twentieth century.

300 questions about the United States

I didn’t know this stuff, but I want to know

WHY DON’T WE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES?  Why can’t The United States government make a magazine, flyer, letter, or something to send to the American citizen that tells them everything that it is possible to tell them.  Such as, the budget, expenditures, bills and laws that have been passed, Presidential orders, current events, what stuff they give to other countries, what stuff they SELL to other countries, and so on and so forth.  Why is it that after working hard all my life, I only find out about any and all of it when I get the time to spend hours researching.  Who has that kind of time?  People work for a living.

This list is very long but will be added to over and over, because I have many questions.  I will add clickable links to anything I find on the web that might answer these questions for your convenience.  And I will use a lot of it to post articles on.  Much of the information that I will post is what I believe has so many people alarmed about their freedoms that they thought were guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that founded this country.  These are my many questions about The United States Of America that I think everyone needs to know the answers to if they expect to retain any semblance of their freedoms.  Like I said . . . I didn’t KNOW this stuff! I will be changing this page frequently and linking the questions to the pages that I create.  Don’t be alarmed if the page changes.

As I link these questions to their pages, I’ll put them at the top of the list.

NOTE: Mostly I just Google the term and post the links.  If you have any links you want me to add that pertain to the subject just let me know.
