I am disgusted!

FDR stole the value of people's gold with his recall and then revaluation of gold. Using the newly gained surplus he started Social Security and other make-work welfare programs.

Johnson started the Great Society. One (hopefully) unintended consequence of which is that it destroyed the concept of family to a great many US citizens.

Nixon enabled the Great Society by taking the US off the gold standard.

G W Bush gave us the Patriot Act.

And now Obama is taking advantage of these anti-freedom acts in the biggest way possible. In my opinion the TSA and Border Patrol are parts of his private gestapo – they disrespect any and all US citizens, even those in the military. Now he is being pressured to nationalize the police forces all across the US. Won't that be a hoot!

During my life time (since 1943) the US has been at war or involved at some level militarily constantly. Why are we always at war? Could it be that war making equipment lobbyists own the great majority of the DemReps? Rather then continue to use old combat equipment it gets donated to local law enforcement agencies, and new equipment gets sold to the military.

All the DemReps in government expect to be called 'The Honorable' even though they have done nothing honorable.

I am disgusted!

    I am happy to be here in the Gulch where other like minded people hang out :-)

    I do as well. In my mind the stuff has hit the fan a long time ago, it is just taking its time hitting all of us.

    I remember reading 1984 and saying aha! There were only a few countries left but they were constantly at war (or not) with a different set of combatants as suited Big Brother. It was announced that the price of chocolate was "decreased" from $4 a pound to $5 a pound and the proletariats cheered as they were being watched by the eye in the sky. That stuff can never happen!

    War=money. I grew up thinking the Russians and other countries were the only ones that did propaganda. Now I realize how much our own government lies and twists the truth.

    How unpatriotic! (sarcasm)

    America has jumped the shark.

    Here in California we have lawmakers openly talking about using the police to break up families. I've lost sleep over it, really. How did we sink this low?

    Don't forget all of the debt we've accumulated and the money that we've created out of thin air that hasn't (and wont) sink us until the US dollar completely loses its status as the reserve currency. When dollars become worthless bits of paper in the near future, those of us that have prepared won't just be disgusted, we'll be fending for our lives against armies of looters - both inside and outside of the government.

    Tom, I am not only angry and disgusted, I am heartbroken. I think that we live in the only country in history that respected the rights of the individual. I desperately want to regain that. Like you, in my life I have watched liberty die. I see the worship of altruism as the cultural ideal that has caused destruction. I have hope that us Gulchers can spread the ideal of selfishness.
