Metal85, I dont know you and you dont know me. I called you a libtard because of the original post in this thread. It was an obvious post to try and bash Republicans, and more specifically Ronald Reagan and defend Obama for his reckless spending. Facts about me is that you will find not a person walking this Earth that believes in Freedom and Liberty more than I. If you learn one thing from me and what I believe in its that first and foremost I believe in freedom, liberty, the Constitution and the rule of law. None of these thing I mentioned, does EITHER party believe in. Both are frauds and bother are the exact same. When you realize that both parties Republican and Democrat are out to fuck you, take more of your money, take more of your rights, tell you what you can and cannot do, having never ending wars, further destroy your currency all while telling you that they care about you, then perhaps we can have a conversation that is meaningful. There is no real difference in the current parties we call the GOP and the DNC. They play the game to make you think that but there is no real difference. If there is and you have proof of this then point it out to me.
I am fearful of our future. We have passed through the looking glass. The current status quo cannot be kept up. Its impossible to deny and if you do you have your head buried in the sand. We are doomed its just a matter of when the current house of cards comes down. Like The Dude said, if you are not currently preparing for a TOTAL collapse of society in the very near future I feel bad for you. This country has too much debt, too many people leaching of the back of the minority of producers. There are too many zero liability voters that vote for candidates because they can Play a Saxophone on MVT or give a great speech and has a catchy bumper sticker phrase.
We no longer search out a Candidate that supports the people and not the expansion of Govt. If this were true then the guy at the top of the polls would not be Herman Cain or Mitt Romney and Obama would have never been considered for President much less the janitor of the local high school. If this country gave a shit about its future then the only clear choice would be a guy named Ron Paul. Ron Paul has been warning us for well over 30 years of the path we are on and where it leads us. Why does he know where its going, well its because he understands history, and free markets. He understand monetary policy and fiat currency. We have one last chance to steer the ship we are on in the right direction and that is by electing Ron Paul. But even IF we elect him I fear that is way too late to fix the problem. You have way too many deadbeats and uneducated voters to make a difference. Its hard to have personal responsibility. Its way easier to blame other people for our being imperfect and expect the govt to give us a handout. One thing about Ron Paul is that he is not the perfect messenger. But his message is perfect.
If you want to learn a little bit about freedom and liberty I'll give you a reading list all of which I have read.
The Law by Bastiat
The Road to Serfom by Freidrich Hayek.
Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt
Liberty Defined by Ron Paul.
Anything by Ludwig Von Misis or Murray Rothbard.

Look up Peter Schiff on Youtube.
I hope you get where I am coming from and see the light. Party politics will be the end of this country.
