One absolute power sounds way too "tin-foil-hatty." But then again, all conspiracy theories sound bat-shit bonkers to me.

you better turn off your tv and do some real research then.
Those videos are nowhere close to the type of insanity that was seen at the Tea Party March. I saw a few misinformed voters being asked questions that they didn't know the answer to. I'm sure that if you asked some of those people to point out China on a map, they wouldn't find it. At least they weren't saying hateful things.
I better! You never know though, I may be here to spread the lies of the ultimate powers that rule the world!
Seriously though,do you have any good sources that were not written by crazies? Perhaps something in a peer-reviewed journal?
I'm really sorry, but you're starting to sound as nuts as the people in the video.
I could post all of the left-wing anti-Bush rallies, but truth be told I hate Bush too much to do that even though a lot of people there acted in the same manner. Partisan politcics is a religion to a lot of people.
Looking from the outside in, I think that the stuff going on in your country is insane. I really hope that it gets sorted out. I haven't met one person here that would take Bush politics over Obama politics, but I'm in Quebec and we're a very socialist province.
I don't like either of them. I'm pretty conservative at heart, but I also respect a lot of progressives as well. I am open-minded in those regards. I dislike this admin and I disliked the filthy Neo-cons.
Socialism works.
Maybe, if everybody goes to work and pays taxes. What if you have a large portion of the population that doesn't do either and still uses the same services as everybody else?
Oh..... I thought you were going to post something similar to the first video. Those people were ignorant of some facts, yes.
But i did not hear the hate speech that was in the first.
The complete lack of compassion for their fellow Man. The contempt for anyone that is different from them. The fear in their voices was palpable.
These are the kind of lemmings that have isolated this country from the rest of the world.
Maybe, if everybody goes to work and pays taxes. What if you have a large portion of the population that doesn't do either and still uses the same services as everybody else?
Roads, Police, Fireman, public transport, Schools, Military, Goverment paper shuffling, Medicare, social security the list could get pretty big.

BTW did you know that Europe is reconsidering their current socialist economic system because they are virtually bankrupt? They have a large portion of immigrants who don't work but get good governement benefits and they have a large portion of young people who choose not to go to work because they can be better off living off unemployment. A friend of mine who resided in Germany a few years back told me that this was exactly the case. He chose not to work because it made absolutely no financial sense to go to work. How does that make any sense? How is any country supposed to survive with a system like that?
All these public services are not exactly free, they are paid for by the people who use them either through taxes or fees.

Hi Truthseeker.
I am aware they are not free. But everyone use's them. Employed or not.
How many people are truly unemployed for their entire life?
Illegal immigrants? Yes they use the system and I contend if you were in their shoe's you would too. But remember, you would have to do the shit work no one else wants to do.
Bankrupt?
Yes the U.S is a fine example of responsible spending that all of the world should take note of!!

Ok, so again - if you have a large, growing portion of the population that is using these services but are not paying into the system wouldn't the system collapse eventually? How would it be able to sustain itself?I am aware they are not free. But everyone use's them. Employed or not.
You'd be surprised. In fact, it's not even an issue of whether you're employed or not not, it's more about how much are you paying back into the system. There is a ton of people who are receiving welfare benefits and work for cash. Some have played the system so well and have accumulated so much cash that they can comfortably retire for the rest of their lives.How many people are truly unemployed for their entire life?
Illegal immigrants? Yes they use the system and I contend if you were in their shoe's you would too. But remember, you would have to do the shit work no one else wants to do.
