A very good message for all of us


Posted: Jul 9, 2014

While this video is geared toward reaching the black community, I believe it is something that many, if not most, Americans should hear.  It spells out clearly the dangers of having a government that is too intrusive, too big, too powerful, and the lives we face for giving them all that power. 

 

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have." Thomas Jefferson

Potentially the end to racism? - SM

This is an absolutely excellent message!! One of my takeaways is that I see this as potentially the end to racism. Freedom works!

What's to dislike? - sm

Why would you not be happy for people who are empowered and enthusiastic about making a better life for themselves and their families and neighbors?

Dislikes are from the fearful. - No other explanation.

They are fearing the eventual end to the radical leftwing agenda that has been sweeping this country like the plague for the last 5-1/2 years. People are waking up and realizing he is not the second coming. I see this empower.org movement as absolutely phenomenonal!!! There is not one thing negative about it. Not one.

Rational people fear rule by a religious right- - wing zealot government. Absolutely!

Spurious Quotations - sm

Another "Thomas Jefferson quote" that Thomas Jefferson never actually said. (see link)

They call these "Spurious Quotations" at Monticello, "a collection of quotations commonly misattributed to Thomas Jefferson."

I don't really care who said it. It makes sense! Our forefathers did not intend for this country to lead by big government. "We the people...", remember?
And they CERTAINLY didn't mean for it to be - run by corporations, the church, or wall street.

Why do people get all hung up on why people "dislike" a post? Who really cares? If you asked 10 different people, you'd most likely get 10 different answers. Here's a hint: No one is afraid or "fearful." No one is "waking up and realizing he is not the second coming" because no one ever thought he was because Democrats don't think of any president as a "messiah." Worrying about biblical prophesies and assigning religious implications to every little thing in the news and labeling world leaders seems to be something uniquely characteristic of the evangelical subculture. You live long enough, you'll soon lose count of all the Antichrists and conspiracy theories based on selected Bible verses. Please understand that Democrats don't generally conflate religion with politics.

We're not sitting around following Obama's every move religiously and seeing every bad thing as a good thing and hoping for the country to fail under this president (or any president).
You're right. I think the zealots lose focus on - reality because theyre too busy - S-M

Whether or not you agree with the other party, please try and refrain from posting just so people can argue, call others racists, haters, biggots, and try and "teach the other side a lesson".

I am in the process of cleaning up the board.  I have not finished yet.  I have been deleting posts from all sides (that is both conservative and liberal).  Stop insulting/ridiculing posters.  Everytime I remove an insult another comes up.  If you don’t agree that is fine, simply state why in a logical and adult fashion. There is no reason to write hateful remarks and ridicule any poster and make fun of them because you don’t agree with them or like what they ...
