America: Home of the Free, Land of the Victim?
Posted: Oct 4, 2015
America: Home of the free, land of the victim? http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/09/30/americas-victimhood-obsession-is-dangerous-and-wrong.html My impression of Chillary is that she's trying to rally all "victims" to get their votes and give them more government handouts, thereby keeping them oppressed and needy instead of encouraging them to find ways to better themselves and have self-worth.;
Today everything is built on lies, deception and confusion. - Add envy into the mix as well.
[ In Reply To ..]We've gotten so far away from our founding, which is what made us "exceptional" or the exception to the rule.
Now we're just like any other socialist tyranny that keeps people dependent on the government. The United States of Babel.
Isaiah 5:20: Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Thank God for discernment.
You just described the GOP and Christianity. - nm

We also have an administration that is driving up the cost - of energy, keeping people in poverty
[ In Reply To ..]The key to lifting people out of poverty is giving them access to cheap power to ease their burdens and give them light!
Remember Obama said, "under my plan the price of electricity will necessarily skyrocket"
Gotta call BS on that one... - Sorry

If you like your power bill, you can keep your power bill. - Then watch him sign an executive
[ In Reply To ..]order to subsidize power bills for "poor folks" as he likes to say. Meanwhile, the cost of energy for the rest of us will rise. It’s a Marxist thing.
That's a hateful remark. I'm on a low-cost - energy program. (I AM an MT,
[ In Reply To ..]after all... I ain't rich.) I'm not raising YOUR energy rates. And as an MT, if you're not on a low-cost energy program, maybe you should be.
My bill has $1 a month on it to pay for people on a low-cost - energy plan to pay for it, and I'm
[ In Reply To ..]an MT. I don't have a choice. I keep my temperature at 63 in the winter and do not use my air conditioner in the summer. I probably quality for assistance, but don't take it.
If you don't take assistance you qualify for, - well - you can lead a horse to water...
[ In Reply To ..]...
The cost of energy is rising because of the policies of - Obama and the left. Maybe you
[ In Reply To ..]wouldn't need to be on assistance otherwise.
The cost of energy is rising because of the - greed of the energy companies.
[ In Reply To ..]It has nothing to do with who is president. It has to do with GREED.
I hope you are grateful for the assistance. A long time - ago I needed temporary assistance
[ In Reply To ..]and I was very appreciative. A lot of people today think they're owed it somehow.
I also learned how to feed a family of four on $5. I can be done if you know how to think.
I'm extremely grateful, especially since I - needed power to run my PC in
[ In Reply To ..]order to be able to work. Since the company I worked for was so chintzy as to not pay me a livable wage, I was very grateful not to have to decide between electricity to run my PC and being able to eat more than 1 meal a day.
Obama talked about "fundamental change" which was - socialism. Anyone questioning
[ In Reply To ..]this was attacked as being a "racist." Hillary is doing the same thing, so anyone questioning her will be a "sexist" I guess.
It's easier to tell people they are victims in order to stay in power - and keep getting elected
[ In Reply To ..]than it is to encourage people to be the best they can be. I think those days are over. It will take another generational cycle to reverse things.
As easy as it is to tell people the trickle-down - theory is working for them?
[ In Reply To ..]=/
It's like the movie Matrix where everybody is attached to - a centralized power, except the ones
[ In Reply To ..]who break free and reject the delusion.
Speaking of movies, the British actress Emily Blunt obtained - citizenship here, she didn't want to pay
[ In Reply To ..]so much tax in England. Guess she doesn't want to pay her "fair share"
So did the Beatles. Please Emily, go back to your - Queen and her dissolute offspring.
[ In Reply To ..]We don’t need your help here.
Oh yeah.. the US is in such "great" shape, we - dont need any help at all.
[ In Reply To ..]EWWOP
Maybe she could be Sanders' running mate. - What a hoot.
[ In Reply To ..]xx
So you think the ones breaking free are those - patronizing Fox News and Limbaugh?
[ In Reply To ..]Really? How else are they "breaking free?"
Delusion is relative. Many of us feel that those who religiously watch nothing but lying Fox News and listen to nasty Rush Limbaugh to the exclusion of anything else are the delusional ones. Any other sources are rejected outright - except other nasty crazies like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck.
Thank goodness we are in the majority and not the dittoheads, that's all I can say. Bear in mind that these bastions of conservative "news" came to their greatest power in the Bush era and coincidentally that's when us poors started getting shafted out of decent pay, our jobs sent overseas, CEOs robbing pensions to give themselves huge salaries, etc., etc., etc. Deregulation and tax evasion have ruined this country, sadly our counterpart poors who subscribe to this view are actually helping them just so they can cling to this old-timey "great America" where you were allowed to discriminate against minorities and gays.
Who's delusional, really?
The point is self reliance and less dependence on - a centralized power. Your rant
[ In Reply To ..]about conservatives is interesting.
You forget your reliance on the CORPORATE - central power. It OWNS you.
[ In Reply To ..].n.
No it doesn't. I have a choice. You have no choice - with a centralized power
[ In Reply To ..]xx
You get to vote for who you want (Exxon, - General Mills, Walmart, -
[ In Reply To ..]Bank of America, Johnson & Johnson, etc.) to run the country?
The only people who actually get to do that are people who own a majority share of their stocks, and most people in this country aren't wealthy enough to own that much stock.
We live off the grid as much as possible. We chose - what to buy and which companies
[ In Reply To ..]to buy from. We grow much of own food and I freeze and can and sew.
You have a choice.
I'm supposed to grow, freeze, can, and sew? - really???
[ In Reply To ..]In addition to holding down 2 jobs to make ends meet? When, pray tell, am I supposed to do all that? Quit judging others based on what you do. You have no idea what I or anyone else are going through.
Whose judging? Just making a statement on self reliance - rather than on corporations or govt.
[ In Reply To ..]The more you can do for yourself the better off you are.
That only works if you're rural. Doesn't work - too well when you live in the city,
[ In Reply To ..]in a studio apartment with no balcony to grow potted veggies in. By law my apartment has to have running electricity and water, and the buses here all run on electricity. The closest we city-dwellers can some to "off-grid" is not reporting all of our income to the IRS.
I don't believe life emanates from the central - government.
[ In Reply To ..]believes life emanates from the central government

"Free To A Good Home" -- Why This Should NEVER Be DoneOct 23, 2009
I wandered down a strange e-street the other night and was horrified & sickened by some of the stuff I found on dog fighting. Actually I had started out by going to the websites of some of the top animal welfare organizations, & one particular website (mentioned in the video below) had a lot of info on dog fighting, so things switched in one click from warm fuzzies to deadly. I took a look at craigslist's "Pets" forum in my area and was staggered by the number of "Free ...

Then they also admitted how some land they will sell to oil and gas producers and other land they will lease to the same.So, will they use strong arm tactics like they did in the Bundy Bungle with semi-automatic weapons, dogs and tasers to seize the land from the land owners? This is absolutely ...
