@freepatriot This quote has stuck with me for years. I first left the Republicans. Then left the Libertarians. Can't blame someone else, and can't wait for a party to stop lying and fix things. Personal responsibility is not the easiest at first, but the dividends are unmatched.
@freepatriot The argument is akin to the idea that war is good for the economy. I think that a whole generation will need to die off before the lie about our govt. will be accepted as a lie and rejected. The boomer generation can not accept that their vote does not matter. They can not accept that is was their generation allowed the gold standard removal in 71, vaccine court and the Brady bill in the 80's (Jab them with no recourse and take our guns). They can not accept their failure.
Americans scream that you must have a police state to deal with racism, child labor, slavery, and pollution, but couldn't you boycott racist, child-hiring, slave-owning, and polluting businesses?
Do companies want public relation nightmares?
Do business owners have free speech rights?
Don't parents have any responsibility for their kids?
Can't slaves escape? Would escaped slaves be jailed by the state if there was no government?
