A summary of other ‘common sense counterrevolution’ ideas:

[Most are very positive rather than negative. With your help, they will be revised.]

[The term ‘Common Sense Counterrevolution already has claims on it. So perhaps we call it the ‘US Magna Carta’? Not decided on the name of the movement yet.]

And what exactly are liberals?

The Constitution needs another method of removing the president. I propose something along the lines of a "no confidence" vote with a twist:

If 2/3 of the States vote to remove the president, then he must resign. The removal votes would all have to be within a certain time period, maybe two years.

Message to Congress:

Obama is a psychopath and the only way to deal with him is to stand defiantly in his way.

He wants to destroy our country. Stop him.

Those who practice and promote aberrant behaviors (sodomy, abortion, adultery, charity by theft, extortion, and the like - all of which are inimical to civility and order) should be denied voting privileges until they repent (strictly in the sense of outward behavior, not in the sense of faith and contrition before the Creator). Aberrant behaviors are defined as those that intentionally disrupt, dishonor, and destroy civility, long life, courtesy, order, and the like.

In the past century we have greatly harmed ourselves by cheapening the vote and lowering the bar when it comes to participation in setting public policy. Only those who are able to articulate in writing and commit to practice the qualities of an informed, virtuous citizen should be granted voting privileges. They should also have incentives to make use of this privilege (for example free admittance to all national parks, reduced rates for other licenses such as hunting and fishing).

Any votes that advocate aberrant behavior ought to be declared null and void, with anyone proposing legislation to that effect also to be disqualified form office and/or voting. The same qualifications ought especially to be observed in regard to those who run for public office.

A rigorous examination should take place before one’s first vote, and a slightly less stringent examination every 4 years thereafter, just as it is for those who have driving, or flying privileges. The examination would most certainly undertake an assessment of knowledge regarding United States citizenship and history. Every citizen ought to be able to articulate the scientific truth of when life begins before they vote. It is not a philosophical or religious question, but highly pertinent to an informed, virtuous citizenry that desires peace and good order. There is a right and wrong answer, and the answer most certainly qualifies or disqualifies those who aim to participate in setting public policy.

Unless those who desire a civil society have already settled the question as to whether it is virtuous for mothers to kill their young before they are born, their efforts toward that end are in vain. It is foundational to the very concept of voting that the participants are interested in survival on the best terms possible among one another. The proponents of sodomy and abortion and the like have no such aim, but only self-interest. Hence, while co-existence may be possible for those who differ on same sex marriage, abortion, and such, it is not possible with all having the same privileges.

The vote should also be denied to those who desire benefits from the treasury without owning property, having a means of income, serving in the armed forces, being demonstrably active in assisting with charitable or community improvements, and paying taxes.

Retired and living off your private savings? No vote for you, and no taxation on your retirement income. Unable to take care of yourself for physical reasons? No vote for you and no votes on your behalf, except as those who have voting privileges are inclined to enact policies to your benefit. Unemployed, able bodied, and sitting at home? No vote for you and mandatory community service. You’ll be fed, clothed, and housed with care befitting a voting citizenry that has been tested and proven to be virtuous, law abiding, and genuinely interested in the general welfare.

Of course the primary qualification (one the purveyors of aberrant behaviors despise) is this: to be counted among the living.

We should also void by law any and all license to practice law and medicine to those who practice and promote aberrant behaviors. Authority to speak and teach aberrant behaviors must be granted in view of the 1st Amendment, but teachers and students of this kind simply ought not to be allowed to vote on matters affecting the general welfare.

I certainly do not expect wide acceptance of these standards. I expect rather to witness further the advocates of aberration receiving in their bodies the due reward for their efforts and behavior, and the people who wink at them also to suffer. Suffering on account of advocating wrong behaviors is common.

The financial elites of the world are behind communism - they love it, they invented it.

You’re battling the UK/American/European financial establishment.

They are the power behind both Western governments AND what used to be called the eastern bloc.

Communism was just a good way for the financial elites to have police states of economic slavery which then were economically locked in place while the UK/US could really rise to power (the 20th century).

The elites have always done business with these slave states. Since there used to be legal import/export controls, only the elites could bypass the controls and trade with the slaves states. It was a monopolist’s dream come true.

In the US/UK, they simply are working towards solidifying their monopolies. Look at the UK, that’s where we’re headed. Everything that is “state controlled” is really a monopoly of elite investors.
