Why is it that some comments are very lengthy while others are required to be broken down and seperated to become incoherent thoughts? 2. Why aren't comments shown in a chronological order which would be much easier to keep tract of?

This is a tried and true method for defeating an enemy...divide and conquer. Everyday something new comes out of our politicians demented minds in an effort to make you forget the previous days atrocities. We have radio and TV show hosts that employ hundreds of researchers who are overwhelmed by incoming data...how is the individual citizen expected to keep up with all of the information or even remember what happened or failed to happen weeks ago? Let's come together as true citizens of our nation and stand up against the tyranny! We need to re-group as a unit...to weed out the minor deceptions..to wholeheartedly attack the underlying agenda of socialism with ever ounce of strength we can muster to preserve our country.

I believe that the reason so much has been proposed with so much urgency is to divide the citizens of this great country and then conquer our nation through our inability to act. Let me explain; Any person inundated with multiple complex tasks would become overwhelmed to the point of prioritizing the tasks most important to themselves and not necessarily for the common good. Once you have a group of people, (conservatives), striking out in all directions on different policies and outrages, then division of a once cohesive group or unit has been accomplished.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." I think it should be remembered everyday by every citizen in America.

Anyone who has served in the military knows what a leader is and the undefinable aspects that make a true leader. These elected officials were placed in office to be managers of our country...not to be our leaders. We the people are supposed to lead the politicians to the place we want to be, then they manage the details. Have you taken a serious look at the politicians? Would you follow any one of them into battle and trust them to keep you alive...I doubt it very much. We are now in a battle for our way of life. Do not blindly follow managers, stand for what is right. . Lets be leaders again and demand our country back!

They were educated in schools that constantly push socialist agendas, and others are suprised at the outcome. Cynical as it may be...trust only with verification. I would trust someone who is self-educated more than any of the intelligencia class.

I don't know how this was set up...but I do know it was set up without any structure whatsoever.

All on the say so of one man, they could destroy a private buisness based on the idea they think it "might "be in trouble. Barracks administration is actively seeking out individual citizens who have had the nerve to speak against this facist regime and try to destroy them professionally. Many belive that hte outrage against the AIG executives could have been quelled with one word from Barrack, but he refuses to do so...once again fanning the flames of class warfare and, In my opinion, causing the radicals to come out of the ditch to threaten these executives and their families with bodily harm and even death. Has the administration no shame...call off the attack dogs on these citizens who had a contract for that money that the congress approved of.

I have seen many forms of government. It was also suggested, as you climbed in rank, to study the history of countries that rose and fell for the reasons why. As a dutiful soldier, I did just that. I cannot believe the simularities of our country now and Germany in the 30's. We have a carismatic speaker for President who seems to brainwash the weak minded with hate speach and fear mongering. He can incite mobs to violence at his will, and will not speak out against such mobs. The Government has stated they need sweeping reform immediately to solve our problems, (caused by them), that only they have the intelligence to understand. Passing spending bills designed to cripple the economic system creating more fear for the weak so they would give more power to the very ones who hold them in the lowest regard, as nothing more than slaves to enrich them.

Stop spending money in countries that hate us, stop giving away our money on overseas projects that have no impact on the American people, (900 million dollars to rebuild the Gaza strip...we didn't bomb it, we didn't fight there...so why the hell are we paying for it?!) I'm sure I'm looking at this too simply but our lives are ours to make or break...stop whining about what someone else has and work harder to attain more success. It's not rocket science...

State taxes could be done the same way at a lower rate doing away with property taxes and a lot more wasted spending. Artwork for public buildings for crimony's sake! If you want artwork, take up a collection from your employees. When it comes to the individual states needing money for important projects, let them raise it themselves and then make it attractive enough to lure in competing private companies to bid on the project. No more special interest groups hindering the process. We, the people, would hire accountants to run the books for the Government to ensure they are held accountable for their spending habits. Our accountants would make the government "balance" their checkbook each and every month.

Do away with the IRS, they would not be needed anymore. This would ensure the Government would have the money to do what it is "constitutionally" required to do, and not a whole lot more to waste on programs that have been proven as failures. The flat tax would also ensure that everyone pays their fair share. Each time you purchase anything you are taxed the 8.5% Nobody would be able to get away with not paying taxes, unless they never buy anything. There would be no end of year refunds...no wasting money paying people who never contributed in the first place.

I believe they should be tried as accessories for all the crimes being committed by illegal aliens that are happening on our borders. They also should be tried as traitors for aiding and abetting the enemy with their statements throughout the Iraq war. That our soldiers were killing innocent civilians in the dead of the night or for chanting the the war is lost, we have lost the war...you incompetent fools. Are the American people so stupid or lethargic as to let this go on and on? I rarely ever use this word and I'm aware of its meaning and impact, but I hate our Government, PERIOD!

Corruption runs rampant, buy offs and pay offs are the order of the day These people think they are above the law, above morals and think they are untouchable. An old joke once said," How can you tell if a politician is lying? His lips are moving." Well, I firmly believe this is so. They will say anything to get there agenda across or re-elected. It's not funny, its not cute and it shouldn't be stood for. Barrack claimed to have a plan...there was no plan, a typical trick to get someone to vote for them, heck...Pelosi the wonder horse wrote the plan and all the Democratic puppets ran foaming at the mouth to praise it. Nobody read it, just like the good little brown shirts of WW2 when Hitler said to do something, they just praised and signed it. When it comes time for re-election, don't let them pull the Nuremberg Trials mantra of, "I was only doing as I was told, following orders." freecitizenspeaking.blogspot.com Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:26:14 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=708#IDComment17622791 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=708#IDComment17577702 What I want: Truth in Politics...No matter how bad it is, no matter who did it...tell us the truth! Term Limits for Congress and Senate...One term is enough to prove your performance. Age Limits for Congress and Senate...Have you seen the doddering old fools that are in office? Completely open Government...except on sensitive military matters. Law applied for all Americans in an equal and just manner. I guess the most important to me is...stop the lying!!! This list could go on forever...but I'll stop for now.

Hey, I've got a what-if? What if we just stopped picking on one bad habit and go after some more? Like drinking, think how many drinkers there are out there. Think of all the "children" we could save from drunken drivers. Think of all the Hospital bills going for kidney disease, or all that expense being used on patching up people after drunks get in their 4,000 lb vehicles and splatter folks all over our nations highways and byways. Think of the revenue we could generate with taxing booze at the same rate we tax cigarettes. Heck, with just the booze tax from the Kennedy household...we could fund the war on terrorism another three years. Hmmmm...I wonder if the rest of you could come up with another tax to help out our impoverished Government....

This is not a complete list of items that you would need if the unthinkable actually needs...many of you out there are smarter than I am and could come up with a comprehensive list of survival items. When the worst happens, we will ,only have ourselves to count on. We will lose utilities...your water...electricity. Basic human services...Police...Hospitals...will be either unavailable or non-existent. Government services will most likely be against you at this point. I'm not a "doomsayer" nor a "survivalist" nor a "lunatic", I just think for those in the same boat as me should be prepared as much as possible for whatever comes our way. I'm just offering these ideas in hopes and prayers that it will never be needed but I'd rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. "I'm jus' sayin'.."

The way they make it sound is that you are a fool if you don't invest or save gold, "the only true recognized value".____Well Bubba...I hate to be the one to tell you, but there are a lot of us out here who can't buy gold for the future, so what should we do to ensure our family's welfare?____Well here are just a a few tips Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:00:34 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=533#IDComment17286790
