If they don't, we are condemned with Liberal/Leftist tryanny. Worse yet is the idea of a third party. All that does is split the vote of those on the Right, and aids the Left. The only way there can be a viable third party is if it starts at local and state elections, builds into Congress, and saves going for the presidency until it actually holds a sizabe number of seats in the House and Senate. How many on here actually have the patience for that? Not many i would suspect.

The radical left hated Cheney because he was a successful business man in the God-Forbid demon industry of oil. Yet he had a strength of character few politicians ever have, which appeals to many. Nobody cared for Biden during his run for office, so why would they like him now? His purpose is the same as Cheney's was: to give the President the appearance of wise advise. Cheney could pull it off because he was experienced and strong. Biden can't do it because he is weak and an idiot. Obama has an ego problem, so Biden will only be drawn when obama needs an old statesman-like look for a kodak moment.

Right-leaning people tend to want to work and be left alone. We, in general, are not that politically active (till recently). If the economy improves, how many here will still be motivated to protest? When the Republican Party started leaning left back in the 90's, why were we too complacent? Now we risk splitting the Repub. party even more, which makes it more likely the Dems/Left will stay in power. It is political action that is needed. If Acorn is padding numbers, then protesting in front of their offices should be done, ie, spotlight and force investigation. Get in the face of your Representatives. Physically get in their face, anything else they can ignore. Go to rallies; FIND the time to do these things! Activety and education is the only way to turn our country from the path of destruction the lemming Left are taking us.

Everything is staged at these events, so he knew about the book in advance. Hussein Obama wanted to show the world just how humble he could be, and give him credit, he is thought of as a weak-knee gullible President. Unfortunately, many Americans like that position in our President, so only time will tell if he needs to stiffen his spine. The US Seal should be changed to Obama on bended knee, lips forward, and an ass about to be kissed.

You might have a liberal in the Whitehouse, but at least half the country would be gone. Pyrrhic victory. You should be loyal to the Constitution, not whomever is in the Whitehouse.

If you texans actually do secede, you would not be alone. I think a number of states would follow suit. Also think Texas would draw a huge number of people willing to defend her. The motto of many an early northeasterner was "live free or die"- something you Texans truly understand. Maybe if this radical regime we have today ruling in Congress and the Presidency were shaken by the threat of secession, they would drop their arrogant march towards fascism. Go Texas!

My state of NY has one of the worst credit ratings of any state because of years of incredibly bad management. It's NY's problem and should not receive any federal money. As you said, NC should not be bailing out NY. NY is 2 billion dollars short this year so what did it do? Raise spending by another 9%. Makes me so DAMN mad! What i would like to see happen next is a march on every state capital on July 4th. Easier for people to get to than DC, and would be very impressive to get 10-20 thousand at every capital building. PR wise would be harder for the Left to portray it as an Obama-only hate march. Save the big march on DC for next year at the 4th, so as to keep people inflamed come November's election.

The smallest local party in my region had 200 people at it, but it was in a small town at 11 in the morning. An average of around 1,000 is probably fairly close. I have heard of 800 national parties, which would give a range of 800,000 to 1.6 million ( using your number). If this range is accurate, the turnout was HUGE for something like this just starting. And it has to be these higher numbers if only from the reaction from the radical Left. They would ignore it if it was only a handful of people as being currently claimed.

This is a clear victory for our Liberty-loving side! They first tried to ignore our growing grassroots movement and pretend it wasn't even there. Now this boob from ill, as well as other Left-wing politicians and media need to lie and ridicule to try to stamp it out. When they reach this point a nerve has been tweaked. They are beginning to be scared that there could be a political movement they can't control. And loved the bit we should be happy, "Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year." Thank you Master for not whipping me today! The common cause was abusive, monolithic government, the loss of Liberty, regardless of form. Victory is sweet, but sweeter yet is the lamentation of elitist politicians!

States cannot instate laws that superceded the Constitution, IT is the final authority. States are not obligated to follow laws from the Feds inwhich the States did not give them the right to begin with. In return, states cannot disregard laws that have been given to the Federal Government. One such rule is the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment supercedes all State regulation. If NY wants more restrictive law, than propose an Amendment to the Constitution which will allow the States more latitude in gun regulation. If NY is going to impose oppressive and illegal gun laws, then maybe upstate ny should succede downstate ny.

The US military sells weapons to the Mexican military, which in turn sells to the drug cartels. We citizens are not allowed to buy, sell, or own automatic weapons ( without special permit i believe). Is it not possible the cartels smuggle weapons from say Nicaragua? A smokescreen, nothing else. Mexico should declare actual war against the cartels and enlist US military aid/personal, as Colombia did. Stop the rhetoric and get busy doing what Governments are obligated to do, defend their people from outside threats.

Obama can afford to sound more conservative on gun issues. His cabinet, Congress, and States will be the lead dogs in restricting the 2nd Amendment. If he is presented with a bill, he will grudingly sign it, making him looked backed into a corner. Nothing but politics. Here in my own state of NY they are looking to pass the following: banning .5 or larger caliber rounds ( say goodbye to the 12 gauge shotgun, a common gun used for deer hunting), tagging every round with a micro code, liscense renewal every 5 years (complete process) failure to pass means having to turn in your handguns, and possibly raising the cost of renewal to $500. What ever happened to the Right of the individual to posses arms shall NOT be restricted?

They smell blood in the water, ie, a weak US President. Obama cannot even handle 4 Somali pirates in a rubber raft. I feel sorry for our honorable service men and women who have to follow this not-so-worthy commander in chief. The supreme sacrifice so many made in life and body i ashamedly feel will be tossed aside. Whether it's individuals or nations, those with the mentality of evil such as the pirates, or Iran, or al-qaeda respect and respond to only one thing- strength. The next 4 years we are locked into a policy of weakness and retreat. We will have the French pretending to like us better, and tryanny will spread around the world.

As for your questions, the money the Feds lend out is paid back with interest (if paid back). The bank bailout money is lent at 5% interest. The Treasury receives any payments, while Congress and the Treasury moniter the payments. Payments were just recently paid, and i believe they are quarterly payments, but don't hold me to that one. The only way citizens ever receive any money is if the Feds decide to give us a corressponding tax cut or rebate check. Other wise any payments are put into "general funds" and doled out according to their whim.

Most of Upstate NY would love to seperate from NYC, and was once proposed many years back, but then Gov. Pataki laughed it off. Succession would never work unless people are willing to use arms as the Federal government settled the issue back in 1865, in their minds anyways. It is way too early for serious thoughts of that nature. Protest and voting is the best way to voice our opinion. But there should be a line drawn wherein we are not willing to be inflicted with government oppression.

Jefferson envisioned government as a pyramid. The top, with the least control was the Federal Government. The middle section was the State Government. The largest section (bottom) was Local government, which had the most say to get local things done. The more local the government, the more responsive it is to it's citizens. The trend today is to reverse that pyramid- which is why so many of us are "p'd" off. How many of us have written their Congressman only to get a standard form letter or no response at all? Like the Hawaiians, it is time to take action, not to wait. Go to your closest tea party this wednesday and start the ball rolling. Mine is in Corning NY, hope to see and meet a lot of Freedom-Loving Fighters then!

First, a Local or State government accepts it as legal tender. Second, they print "US" and "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private". Other wise it is script, or in modern terms a coupon.

Script, which this is what it is, was common in the US during the early 1800's. It is nothing but a blanket coupon. When business's feel they no longer have to subsidize the consumer, they will drop the promotion.

Where will we be? Unfortunately whatever financial level you are at, that is where you will stay. Opportunity will only be for those who are already very wealthy, or for those with political connections. Healthcare will be mediocre to poor, the economy will stagnate, our military will shrink and be subpar. China, Russia and other totalitarian regimes will begin to remake the world in their fashion. Scared is good. Scared means it is time to collectively get off our butts, and get active. Tue, 7 Apr 2009 22:35:00 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=10#IDComment18323555
