A good article, but it proves that Human nature is alive and well. Meaning that while there are many many good hearted,kind and wise people who do wonderful & merciful things for people, but no one ever seems to want to write about then here ? But as my grandmother told me in many years ago ( 1955) you can't have it both ways many times in life. She was right. if the government leaders of Afghanistan really loved their people the mess that has gone on for centuries wouldn't be would it ? Or is that too simplistic ?
i can see now that and while this site does claim to be of the Populist" persuasion, The I'm ok, you're ok, please don't tell the truth america needs as it might be seen as offencive or NOT politically correct is more the order of the day, then it would seem that I who is nothing more than a "watchman on the wall, who calls out and declares what he sees is wasting his time energy,and breath here. What if people like the glenn beck's or lou dobbs are and were right all along ?it can and will be too late sir The America you and i were born into will be cone...go ask Andy Stern and the good folks from SEIU who want America to reditribute the wealth...and why isn't anyone here writing about the 30 plus czars America has? but war and the Imorality of it and how terrible america is for being part of such a thing seems to be more important here...or so it would seem. Enjoy the rest of your week sir...
1. it would shift monies spent of keeping troops in nations that really no longer have a real physical need for us to be there. Those funds in tuern would and could be used to better improve the lives of those who serve our nation. i don't know if you ever have seen some of the footage of what has been gong on in the drug war & battles on the Mexican side of the border, but in closing i'll say this: There is Nothing but air, stopping or preventing that kind of activity from happening here. Now and again you can call me paranoid,silly or being an alarmist, but wait sir, until you see and smell the blood,and hear the screams of families, Then maybe like all human beings then will the little light go off in our minds when the total reality & understanding hits home. So much for the "common" defence of America huh ?
As time and life went on so did America's moral & fiscal decay. And now America is bordering on the brink to where our currency is all but useless. People like myself are looked at as being " paranoid" when we stand up and try to tell America the truth, just as many try to do in talk radio and those who have formed local and regional "tea parties" and other organizing attempts to get America to wake up. as a retired police officer and adminstrator i have seen sadly the sewage of life. yet i know rom experience that if you have no security and order the streets fill with choas and disorder. My idea of securing our borders does or woud accomplish several things.
I would agree with your "historical" take of what appears to be happening here & now. But the question does come and remains. When did the American public lose it's ideals, and principals that made America a great nation ? i feel that even before Teddy Roosevelt, there was a " progressive" political point of view slowly working it's ay into the moral fiber of America, it's way of life and how the "government" did it's job in serving We, The people. Then win several of the rich industrialists got together to find ways to "expand' at low costs to them. The federal reserve was put together so those who already had money and didn't want to risk what they had, and got the governement to do it for them.And since then things have gone down hill as it were for America to the poit that it never rally had the chance to be the Republic the founders had invisioned.
So what has this site done to openly report of activites that will help grow the Independent Populist ideals and themes ? 8-10 artices as of late have been more anti war than what the Populists party is doing to combat the slow demise of America's constitutional rights. or How a Rupublic style as a nation would be far better politically for all US Citizens, then what we have now. Where is thecfree and open debate of issues that will help the average american? And where is the Accountability at ?
i would agree 1000% with the thoughts and words of the author. Too bad the president who promised change we all can believe in hasn't called the troops home from places like Germany,italy,Japan and South Korea. We could use those troops to man and protect America's borders both the north and the southern...and maybe,just maybe the wide open ports where even my dead grandmother could ship in the makings of a dirty bomb of some type with little or no problem. But what would i know ? I'm just one man,who has one vote who loves his nation enough to die for it !
A good article if one wanted to debate the "morality" of war & war fare. But as this nation goes down the steep slope it is on. With Both houses of Congress doing what it wnts, instead of what the majority of We, the people want, isn't a anti war article somewhat out of place here on a "supposedly" Populist web site that supposedly is to help inform those who are ignorant to the Constitution and the the like so that some how or way We, the people can get our nation as a republic back ?Or are the leadership of this site gong to continue going down a more " progressive" path politically & political correctness that has taking foothold since the days before President Wilson. Is that what this sites idea & Ideals is & are of what being a " Indipendent populist' is all about ? if it is, then i don't don't want what you are tryng to sell here.
What is sad is that it has taken 8 years now for America(s) to wake up. Personally I'd like to see them all pulled out and brought home as well as all the troops in Germany,Japan & Korea...that way BOTH borders of the USA can be better protected. But i',m just a tax payer that both houses of congress choose to ignore, what would i know ? So much for being a " republic" huh ?
