I've noticed a intrest in political topics in this forum, so excuse me if I posted this thread in the wrong section. Folks, it's time we ALL got serious for at least 2 hours. Wether you love Bush and ****, or you're a Democrat who hates em, we have to realize and admit that this country is in SERIOUS trouble. As a nation, we were founded by enlightened men such as Benjamin Franklin who progressed humanity to new levels of understanding. We were founded as the only serious answer to Imperial looting Great Britain was (and still is) engaged in.
Benjamin Franklin was asked "What form of Government have you left us with?", he replied "A Republic, if you can keep it." He understood a government is only as good as the people who ran it. He also realized the people who ran it, were going to be only as good as the people who elect them. Since human beings are NOT perfect by any measure, Ben realized that the fight he led and won, will be continued to fought. He was dead right. Quite frankly folks, we are losing this fight and our Republic. Under the policies of such great Presidents as Washington, Abraham Lincoln (R) and Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D), we continued the fight. Under the polices of these men, we became the nation with the highest productivity per capita in the entire world. That means we produced the most goods per our population, compared to the rest of the world. Our workforce was a highly skilled and well paid workforce that created goods which were of good quality and you could be proud of. Under this type of system, we did not outsource our work and force it down the throat of the 3rd world and force them to work for peanuts for us. 1 "Bread earner" could work 1 8 hour job for 5 days a week and be able to raise a family, own a house, send his kids to college, and retire with proper medicare and social security. That is not true today. Today, we have became a parasite nation. We live off the work of the 3rd world who work in slave labor conditions for US companies while we shut down our own productive capabilities. Based on these anti-american and pro British policies of the last 40 years, we have became now the biggest consumer nation in the entire history of our recorded civilization. We have became like the Romans. The Romans would get the nearby countries to become slave labor. The citizens of the other nations would take their raw materials and goods, and as slaves send them for the Romans to enjoy. This is what 'free trade', or 'free enterprise' has turned us into.
We are now facing a huge financial collapse that we're teeter tottering off the edge of. When this crash hits, the Government is faced with 2 options. The first one is to do what they have been doing in this case, protect the bankers and their unpayable debt. The financial elite demand the payments on their fraudulant debt that they have pushed onto the world, including our own citizens, and will demand to get the unpayable intrest payments paid no matter what. The Constitutional thing to do would be to protect the General Welfare, and not the bankers. Unfortunately, Arnie the Governator, the Bush Administration and many rich Democrats will defend the bankers. As a result, we have to mobilize the population on how to deal with this crisis so it does not turn into a blood bath, or dare I say hot fascist coup. I present to you, a very important webcast that will be aired live at 10Am which you can participate in and ask questions live with statesman Lyndon LaRouche. I don't care how many slanders you've heard from the 'mass media' about WMD or Lyndon LaRouche, you should hear the man yourself and see what he says, instead of what others tell you he says. We *can* change the policies that have distroyed so many cultures and lives, before it gets a manifold worse. If you missed the webcast, feel free to watch it, since it will be archived that same day. Here is the link.
