Democracy = Two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. I guess when the "will of the people" dictates that firearms should be banned and education should be totally nationalized, you will still be calling for Mobocracy, right?

I love your tag line! If only we could make it happen!

NO! We are not represented. Greed has taken over Washington, and big business, special interest groups along with thier lobbyists are now the only people represented by our govt. We may still put them into office, or so it may seem. The MSM pulls most of the strings when it comes to getting the people in to power that they want and need to further thier agenda. Largely, in most part it's biased toward the liberals, and each one with thier own, sometimes seemingly insignificant contribution to furthering a socialist agenda which, in the end, includes a "New World Order". I believe that while most people know that somethings just aren't right with the way our politicians run things, deep down, either they don't want to see and believe what is really going on or just can't admit to the truth that what should be impossible to do to our constitution and protection of our rights, is possible, and could very well be happening right under our noses and in your face.

...the remaining nobles, the readier they were to be slaves, were raised the higher by wealth and promotion, so that, aggrandised by revolution, they preferred the safety of the present to the dangerous past. Nor did the provinces dislike that condition of affairs, for they distrusted the government of the Senate and the people, because of the rivalries between the leading men and the rapacity of the officials, while the protection of the laws was unavailing, as they were continually deranged by violence, intrigue, and finally by corruption.
Tacitus, 109 A.D., writing about the end of the Roman Republic.

LOL! I'll be over to borrow some of your stored up flour for the coming y2k crisis!

Lets see....... backpack searches, national id cards, patriot act, vehicle checkpoints (aka sobriety checks)
GPS in our cell phones, anti 2nd Amendment legislation, campaign finance laws that suppress common people from speaking out about candidates....
Looks to me like government is more interested in protecting it's power base than it is protecting we the people.
So the answer is, yes. We the people are the enemy to those corrupt officials in power, elected and unelected.
they will do EVERYTHING to stay in power. How many people associated with the Clintons died under unusual or bizarre circumstances??? Then theres coverup Conditt. McCains Keating 5. Chappaquidic Kennedy etc. How these people continue to be influential "leaders???" is the kicker.

No, just know that mob rule has been proven a disaster wherever it has been tried. The "people" are not as conservative as you think.

Tommy Thompson just joined the board of Digital Angel and got
himself 'chipped'...
I've read the same thing. Very disturbing. For that particular man to give the digital angel chip his own personal endorsement of this product and it's advantages as it's disguise, is selling this idea/concept to the american people, muxh like you'd like to have Michael Jordan or Shaq endorsing your line of sneakers.

I have posted two articles on this board since I have joined. I think it is funny that someone would post pictures of tinfoil hats to a newcomer. I guess this is some sort of strange welcome ritual, so thanks for the warm welcome.
It is easy to read even in the biased MSM how our rights and liberties are being taken away and how congress is not representing us as they should. Look at all of the strong arm deals made during the CAFTA vote. The patriot Act, The Real ID (now that will protect us from terrorists and illegals, the CFR Plan, UN Agenda 21, CAFTA and FTAA, a person would have to be seriously blind to not see how our nation is being systematically destroyed by our elected officials.
We need a government that is controlled by the people and not a government that controls the people or am I misunderstanding the intentions of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution?

Don't let it bother you. Jesus did say that there would be scoffers in the end times. How does this relate? Jesus' mention of scoffers would be towards his word. What is his word? The word is the truth. They scoff at the truth.

Are We, the People, the Enemy?From the short list of things there, and with all of the things that
could be added to it it's a very short list
...YES is the obvious answer.
One thing not on the list that should be is the declared War on Drugs. A portion of the population has already been publicly declared as the enemy.
It surely can't be too far away that the portional percentage increases.
There's the smokers, and then there's the overweight, then there's...well, you get the picture.
Simply consider this...
TITLE 22 > CHAPTER 35 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 2551Congressional statement of purpose
An ultimate goal of the United States is a world which is free from the scourge of war and the dangers and burdens of armaments; in which the use of force has been subordinated to the rule of law; and in which international adjustments to a changing world are achieved peacefully. It is the purpose of this chapter to provide impetus toward this goal by addressing the problem of reduction and control of armaments looking toward
ultimate world disarmament.
The Secretary of State must have the capacity to provide the essential scientific, economic, political, military, psychological, and technological information upon which realistic arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament policy must be based. The Secretary shall have the authority, under the direction of the President, to carry out the following primary functions:
(1) The preparation for and management of United States participation in international negotiations and implementation fora in the arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament field.
(2) The conduct, support, and coordination of research for arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament policy formulation.
(3) The preparation for, operation of, or direction of, United States participation in such control systems as may become part of United States arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament activities.
(4) The dissemination and coordination of public information concerning arms control, nonproliferation, and disarmament.
The
"Notes" page is interesting reading.
And crucial to § 2551 is...
TITLE 22 > CHAPTER 35 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 2552
Definitions
As used in this chapter (that's Chapter 35)
(a) The terms arms control and disarmament mean the identification, verification, inspection, limitation, control, reduction, or elimination, of armed forces and armaments of all kinds under international agreement including the necessary steps taken under such an agreement to establish an effective system of international control, or to create and strengthen international organizations for the maintenance of peace.
(b) The term Government agency means any executive department, commission, agency, independent establishment, corporation wholly or partly owned by the United States which is an instrumentality of the United States, or any board, bureau, division, service, office, officer, authority, administration, or other establishment in the executive branch of Government.
Move along, nothing to see here.
