You ever wake up and realize how F'ed up humanity is?

[occupied]

Sorry to hear that. You are still more free than I am and there is no subsitute for a broken spirit. All the best in your recovery.

Freedom is a state of mind. You are living in a jail where the bars are in your mind.

I have the cancer that killed my mother. I could be dead this time next year. My present life is a series of unpleasant things I have to do just to live. In my mind I have had to come to terms with death. Still I am relatively happy because life is too precious to spend it wallowing in misery.

If messageboard posting makes you miserable why are you here?

Who said it makes me miserable? Good bot!

I'd love to, but I am currently persecuted in Canada. I used to be so positive, ambitious and loved comedies. I am now realizing how FOS my province has always been. It's a horrible realization. You ever see a movie where a man isnliving his life and realizes all the people around him are FOS? Myabe in the Twilight Zone or something. Well, that's my life...

I wish you well and pray that one day you will be liberated from the People's Socialist Republic of Canada.

Now you are making me feel bad about saying nasty things to you, bot.

It is very disheartening today hearing and reading news stories. Everything is combative. If someone is killed in an accident the first thing the media does is to start debating who is at fault, before all the facts are known. And this is but one example of many of how it feels like the media is attempting to manipulate. It is all the vitriol and anger that depresses me. Anger is, of course, an emotional response. It cannot be reasoned with. Therefore, if some manipulative entity (MSM, Democrats, etc...) wants to get hold of some people, then they first convinced them that they are being victimized at the hands of another, that the Dems are trying to help them (in reality, they almost never are), and keep the marks in a perpetual state of anger so that they are easy to manipulate and control. Dems work with feelings and emotions, not logic. It has been this way my entire life. If you keep them all in a towering emotional hell, then it is virtually impossible to get them to see alternative viewpoints. Hell, I do not even necessarily want everyone to think like me. I just want opponents to at the very least acknowledge that their perceived adversaries have rational positions and are not hateful devils.

Then there is all this sick shit with pedos and trannies, and teaching false history to children in government schools, and generally driving a wedge between parent and child. What I make of this is that there appears to be, by design, a clear effort to disrupt normal American society and undermine its institutions and traditions; to rot us out from the inside. This is "transformative politics". It is "fundamental change". I then go a step farther and accuse neo-Marxist interests in pursuing this destructive course of action, which is manifested in in policies like tranny/homo stuff, re-writing history, social justice efforts (i.e., re-distributive policy) based on false realities; defund the police, out of control gov spending, anti-Christian efforts, militant pro-abortion, etc...

The problem I encounter with this analysis is that there does not seem to be a centralized neo-Marxist organization or entity that can be blamed for this anti-American effort. Rather, if it exists (and I think it does), then it exists in a decentralized form, the same way Islamic terrorist cells operate. With terrorism, it is hard to fight the enemy because there is almost always no country to invade and defeat. There is no frontline. It has a strong decentralized element and exists more of a network across national borders. Jihad is a national identity of these people, but they operate on a intercontinental basis.

Likewise, the neo-Marxist enemy fires these missiles at our republic in the form of one of their many wacky initiatives. But instead of fighting the people firing the missiles at us, we busy ourselves with trying to correct the damage caused by those missiles. We need to be hitting the enemy directly, and it is poison leftist ideology. But who, exactly, do we fight? As I said, there is no conspicuous target. There is George Soros, of course. But he is not numero uno. Frankly, I do not think there is a numero uno. There is no man behind the curtain. Rather, there is an ideology that spawns slimy monsters like Soros and others. Therefore, we must attack the ideology. It is not too hard to connect all the leftist-prog nonsense to Marxist underpinnings. It is all there. For this reason it would behoove everybody to brush up on Marx and Engels, Saul Alinsky, and other malignant enemies of freedom. You need to understand the enemy in order to effectively fight him.

I love how you start your post regretting that anger and vitriol in the media is driving us all towards hatred, and then you immediately demonstrate how anger and vitriol in the media has driven you towards hatred. Dumbass.

I don't take any of it personally. Old hand at this. All of you are just words on a screen. You should never give your adversary the power to piss you off.

Any gov't is only as effective as the people who run it; if they lack honor and integrity then it stands to reason that the gov't will too.

You are making excuses for the lack of searching for a better government separation model.

And the sad news may be that there is no form of gov't that can change that.

The sad news is that you know that the subsisting government is imperfect, and do not know of any ambition to deliberate a more reliable system.

Never has been and never will be. IMHO, our current form of gov't is pretty much as good as it can get but it does not and cannot guarantee the prevention of a dictatorship, oligarchy, or any other corruption of power.

No. The separation of government powers is supposed to guarantee something.

Throughout human history, when things get really bad the people will revolt, but it hasn't gotten bad enough I guess. Yet. It ain't like we can't vote out the liars and crooks and it ain't like we can't force positive change without violence. If we don't then we get the gov't we deserve IMHO. But there is no way we can significantly change our form of gov't and expect better results, human nature cannot be denied.

The separation of government is supposed to be demarcated by certain sections of the law, and then those partitions are subdivided into the familiar three branches, or more accurately, the three general processes of law. Although there are a lot of sections of the law, there are just a handful of sections that are significant to the balance of government powers, and all of the other sections fall under those in an orderly formulation to fulfill the mission of the governing partition.

Each partition will have its three processes for governing the coordinated sections of the law; a legislative assembly, a security department, and judicial supervision. The formulation of each partition with its own security department provides for a direct law enforcement check on the other partitions of the government; compared to the dubious and always disappointing bipartisan committees and independent investigations that have to be commissioned for a specific situation.

The requests for independent investigations obviously indicate that there is a problem with the separation of government, and that is because the three parts of government are not inherently in a contest with each other. They are cooperative processes, and the checks on power had to be assigned to the entities, and that is what is vulnerable to the oligarchy contest for control of the three parts.

The Demarcation of Law configuration will not eliminate political parties, but it will guide the factions’ doctrines, because the legislators will be commissioned to specific sections of the law to guard, which is what is missing in the deployment of the subsisting legislatures. The ambition of the partition is supposed to prevail over the flawed alliances with members from the other partitions, as was prescribed by Mr. Madison in the political scientists’ favorite essay, Federalist 51.

The subsisting bicameral legislative assemblies are not commissioned correctly, and the evolution of that inadequacy, and then the addition of the Seventeenth Amendment, captured the All-American duopoly of political parties. Duopolies are probably inevitable in legislative assemblies; however, the mission of the assembly is the primary control of the principles of its factions.

Thank you, Obi Wan, but nobody here has ever pissed me off. I look at them like pigeons, which I shew away.

I never said anything about harboring hatred toward anybody, Corky Sue. You made that up.

America was the hope for all of us. I'm not sure it will remain that way just based on what I have read on this site.

you are perceptive

America has gone the way of all "democracies" (I know its not a pure democracy but whatever)

greed, immorality, lawlessness... self-indulgence

has destroyed us.. esp by way of the lovely gummit, most lawless... most immoral and greedy entity in the country
