WE ARE NOT OK – HAPPY 4TH

“The greatest threat facing America today is the disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation. It is this one-two punch — Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow, and the Fed printing money to make up the difference — that threatens to impoverish us by further destroying the value of our dollars.”

Ron Paul

“Welfarism and excessive spending and deficits and socialism divide us, because everybody has to go to Washington. Those who have the biggest clout, those who are the best lobbyists, those who go and they grab. And whether it’s the medical industrial complex, or the banking industry, or the military industrial complex, that’s who ends up controlling our government… For so long, conservatives and constitutionalists have lost the argument, they lost the moral high ground. Because those who want to give things away, not talking about where they steal it from, but they want to give things and take care of people, they get the moral high ground and they come by as being compassionate. And we who believe in liberty, we lack compassion. But the truth is, there’s only one compassionate system known to man, and that is freedom and personal responsibility, then there’s enough wealth, and then we will all have personal responsibility to use this compassion that we have, first to take care of our families and friends and neighbors, and there would be so much wealth that we could spread this wealth around the world.”

Ron Paul

“‎We must make our choice between economy and liberty or confusion and servitude…If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labor and in our amusements…if we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country.”

Andrew Jackson

“As it turns out, we don’t “all” have to pay our debts. Only some of us do.”

David Graeber, Debt: The First 5,000 Years

“Credit is a system whereby a person who can’t pay, gets another person who can’t pay, to guarantee that he can pay.”

Charles Dickens, Little Dorrit

The only thing anyone in today’s USSA needs to do to be classified a “domestic terrorist” or a revolutionary is repeat the words of the Founders.

I ain’t celebrating shit this year. Might hoist a glass in honor of the fallen, but that’s it.

I agree with Billy. Quoting the Founders is dangerous business these days. I’d like to remind everyone that the Soviet Union, too, had a constitution – one that looked really good on paper but was no help to the millions that succumbed to the regime’s terror. Reminding your executioners that you were guaranteed rest, leisure and healthcare, didn’t in the end, save anyone.

The Soviet Union’s constitution looked stupid. It guaranteed stuff that can’t be guaranteed: food, jobs, etc. The US Constitution is supposed to guarantee us freedom from intrusive government. The problem is that people want compulsion, which is what leftism is. Leftism = compulsion.

I voted for Ron Paul too.

The stupidest people I know all voted for Obomber unconditionally, still defend him, & definitely will vote for Hillary. They fit the definition of insanity.

How American citizens understand holidays …..

4th of July ….. it’s all about fireworks and barbeques

Memorial Day ….. parades and shit

Christmas ….. presents and more shit

Easter …. silly wabbits, super-sweet shitty candy, and multiracial eggs

Labor Day ….. who the fuck actually knows? Let’s p-a-a-a-rty!

Valentines Day ….. chocolate for pussy

Thanksgiving ….. Macy’s Parade, football, people I don’t like coming over to eat my shit

Presidents Day …… that’s to honor George Bush, right?

Dumbfuk Boobus Amerikanus. If you ever reach the point where you say to yourself, —- “Hey, we might be able to overcome all this shit!!” —– well, just watch a Mark Dice man-in-the-street interview. It will bring you back to reality. We are fucked six ways to Sunday. Really.
