It amazes me to think that if the forefathers which started this country, gave theyre lives blood and everything to keep freedom in theyre day, saw how america is now they would be heartbroken to say the least.

It sickens me because i know that americas governmental hunger for power, is not only going to fuel oppression of the american public but could also outstretch to other countries of the world.

In my boyish opinion, legal immigration is critical to our country's development.

This is so, because many legal immigrants come from places where the meaning of the word,

"oppression",

is a true one.

Ever at your service,

Well to wobble back to the topic kinda there is a ton of people who imigrate here who sign up for the military. Yes one could be sarcastic and say the are just doing it to become a citizen. Yet I know a ton of Navy guys who served and went back to their country of orgin. Its hard for them because they have a dang near impossible time getting a security clearence to the are relegated to the crap jobs. Yet they serve and serve with pride. Nobody had their info yet they joined.

As for the info do you think that black helo is going to swoop down and kidnap your kid??

If someone does not want to join then so be it. No means no to a recruiter.Whats the harm in a recruiter giving out info? Parents raise kids to their way. If they get butt hurt cause their kid joins then why blame the military?


Selective service has been around many a moon yet I didn't see any threads started before this current S#$% throw started worried about that stuff. I still feel there is not going to be a draft. (And hope even more there WILL NOT be) If it were to come to pass then we would have to get on the best we could.


I guess I am naive but I still feel there is be a 2-4 years "lag" in politics. If you don't like things get out and vote to change it. If you lose rally and do it again.

Long as we still have the freedom to get on a forum such as this or any other and state whatever we think this country still beats the snot out of a lot of others.

I deeply apologize, Mr. Franklin, not for me, but for the ignorant masses who let the evil men take it away. Please forgive them.
So specifically, what rights have been taken away? Just what are the under the bed evil men doing? I can stil jump on my motorcycle and drive to any state in the union without being checked at each states boarder. I can still say or write most any opinion without fear of jack booted thugs appearing at my door (jehova witness's excluded :wink: ). I can still go to any church I may want to and not be persecuted.
OTH I have noticed gay rights have improved and collecting welfare is now harder to obtain. Are these two things the doings of the bad men in black coats?

Wholly intentional on your part to have left out the heavy hitting rights. How...predictable. But for others (Behemoth, etc.) that are paying attention, I'll list them:
Skyalmian wrote:- Right to property (ex: land, homes, vehicles, since they own all three). They can take anything they want for virtually any reason. Everything everyone "owns" is held to pay back the debt to the United States anyway.
As to land and house, the state has always had the power to take such. Just try not paying your property taxes for a few years
Skyalmian wrote:- Right to privacy (see above).
Funny, there I thought a search warrant had to be obtained to enter my home
Skyalmian wrote:- Right to keep and bear (open or concealed) weapons a.k.a. right to self-defense. Permit/license/permission required for anything = privilege.
Last time I checked the only license I need is to carry my pistol concealed. I don't need a license to buy a long gun, bow & arrow or a knife. I think the license to carry concealed is desirable...or do you think every gang banga, drug dealing ex con should be allowed to carry (legally)also?
Skyalmian wrote:- Right to do whatever you please with your body so long as you don't violate another's property (War on [People Using] Drugs).
And you don't think the drug users don't violate my property by either theft or taxes to pay for their incarceration for crimes to support their habit and hospital bills as their bodies deteriorate?
Skyalmian wrote:- Right to marriage with a consenting other.
Yeah...er um, define consenting other.

An audible cheer arises from the groundlings. By the way, you cited to the Daily Texan. You know that, don't you?

Well played, nevertheless.
