Do you mean a government OF the people, FOR the people, BY the people...

the one that:

in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish...

the one that:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Let me ask you this... Does any of the political parties TODAY perform in the BEST INTEREST of the PEOPLE, or the BEST INTEREST of THEIR POCKET BOOK ( family, friends)and more importantly the WORLD BANK?

Tell me: Who better benefits from our current policies -- we the people, orthe World Bank and its memebers?

We're being led to slaughter and like dumb animals 99.9% of the population is going along... aaaah, what else are we going to do... DIE...not literally... But before most of you wake up... it will be too late! We will be part of a World Society (in less than 10-years where ONE BANK controls ALL the assets -- not that there will be one government) but.................... The BANK will RULE and the President..........

Referring to a point Dave mentioned on page 2... I think that's why we try to hold our politicians to such a high moral standard. Key word: try. If the politician can't even keep his/her own life in order, how can we expect them to keep the country in order. I think this isone reason why people don't want anotherClinton in theWhitehouse. She couldn't keep her husband from messing around on her, what makes her think she can keep the whole country inline.

Mike, if you want to run for prez, by all means go for it. But like many people keep reminding us, ABSOLUTEPOWER CORRUPTS. Duane brought up a good point. All those men had visions of a better(insert country name here). But personal prejudices, and having absolute power to dowhat ever they want, when they want, how they want, all turned bad real quick. I remember seeing some of Adolf Hitler's public addresses on the A&E network (they were subt itled of course).Whenhe didn't mention the Jews,it was scary how similar his speaches were to our politicians of today. Exactly the reason why dictatorships don't work. Monarchy's didn't work much better either.


P.S. "B.J. Clinton" -- love it! [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

I in no waymentioned any politician, or political party in my rant. It is clear our system of government is totally in disarray and needs to be totally revamped to what our forefathers had dreamed. Sadly, we have no other choicesright now, and no new political party with a set of candidatesworthy of creating a silentrevolution in whichwe could overthrow our present government through the voting process.

But Mark my words, "We are slowly, but surely, headed for a puppet government controlled by the World Bank." The thing is, so is everyother country in the World, and YES,that is how I figure the third anti-christ willarise. Debit cards will be the mark of the beast.Wewill not havepaper money,and once everyone is using their debit card, you're had... Follow or be cut off.No Money... No Food... No Housing... No anything... and how many still know how to live off the land? Maybe 10% of the population. I know I do! How about you?

Well... that is in about 10-20-years tops... in the mean time, we still need to live for today, and YES, I will vote for any candidate that has a chance of winning, that IS NOT a Republican!!! If that is Hillary, than Hillary it will be... If that is John Edwards then John it will be... I don't care who it is, as long asthey are not a Republican!!! Thing is... I liked John McCann at one time and would have voted for him, until he held firm with the IRAQ war (which is the dumbest waste of human life to be fighting over! North Korea... heck yeah, IRAN... yeah... Pakistan... yeah, heck I could even understand Syria, but Iraq... that was nothing but PURE STUPID!!!) I wasNEVER convinced IRAQ was a threat to the United States or ANY of its neighbors. I SUPPORT our troops, but NOT the WAR!!! NEVER DID!!!

Oh... edited add... If you attack a country... DO IT!!! DO IT FULL HEARTEDLY!!! OVERWHELM THEM, DESTROY THEM... TAKE THE LANDAND FULLY CONTROL IT or WALK AWAYand Letthose that want the landfight over it -- who cares. Do that once or twice, and NOBODY will EVEN THINK about screwing with the United States!!!

Oh... While it is unfortunate that women and children are killed... War has NEVER been pretty! The reason we shouldn't go to war unless it is absolutely necessary. But women and children will fight if attack, as our wives and children would fight ifour country was attacked. So we should not play and risk our solider's lives. All threats should be eliminated and sorry, that includes women and children. Worth repeating: The reason we shouldn't go to war unless it is absolutely necessary.

well everybody thought Hitler's National ID cards were the "mark of the beast" and that he was the anti-Christ. my mom thinks Hussein is the anti-Christ, because she says the boook of Revelation says he will first appear to the public in a blue turban.. and she tells me Hussein's first big public appearance... wearing a blue turban.... plus she says everybody in the world will believe him to be dead, and right now, we believe that.

and teh thing is, we can't take the book of Revelations literally. for example, let me just tell you about the "144,000 who will go up into Heaven"

there are many numbers, and I can't remember the name of this code, but I can remember a few of the numbers meaning this.

12: The people of Christ
7: completion
3: i believe this is symbolic of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Ghost), but I am not sure
9: can't remember what this number means

So anyways, when teh book of Revelations mentions the 144,000,it is a multiple of all the numbers above plus some more I amsure I forgot. what that means is that at the time of Completion, all of the people of God will go up to be with the Lord.

Another thing, the ever dreadedBattle of Armaggeddeon to mean the end of the world.. it already happened.


I learned all of this about 4 years ago at a bible studyby Mickey Efird,then a professor of Divinity at Duke Divinity School, I believe he is no in charge of the Theology department.

Sorry about raising my sentiments here, but this place is better than a blog spot.
I was raised in East Los Angeles. As a poor hispanic child with poor hispanic parents.
I was taught that English was the language of success.
My parents never ever pulled the victim card.
They busted their ***** to put me through parochial school.
How can let government tell us they know what's best for us when they can't even promise that my social security account will be valid in 5 years.
This is the land of opportunity, we MAKE our own opportunies.
This is not the land of the opportunity of living off of governement welfare.
The forefathers never foresaw socialism.
I am not about to let the neo-socialists that support Hillary stomp on my constitution.
Thanks for reading.

You pretty much discribed my family and what we were talk growing up. (okay not the Hispanic part)

My parents worked their a$$es off too. My father used to work 3 jobs. One full and two part time jobs. He wanted his kids to have things he never did. Being the youngest of 4 boys his cloths were all hand me downs. So he strived to make life better for his kids.



She couldn't keep her husband from messing around on her, what makes her think she can keep the whole country inline.

Maybe Hillary will vote in a new law, oral sex for all men?
(crude remark I know. Sorry)


But Mark my words, "We are slowly, but surely, headed for a puppet government controlled by the World Bank."

Have you seen the assembly line commercials on TV depicting this? I think it's well on the way.
