I have become Un-AmeriKKKan.

I've had it with this country. I'm fed up with these weak minded snow-flakes who don't understand or respect BASIC personal liberties (like free speech, freedom of religion, freedom to physically arm and defend yourself). I'm sick of these "good o'l boy", KJV bible-thumping racists who think its cool force their own twisted version of Christianity on the rest of the world. Half of these idiots don't even know what their Bibles say in the original languages. I'm tired of people telling me to watch my #ing mouth...telling me that some words are bad, some good....telling me that some opinions are just too offensive to express. I'm tired of this CRAP.

Whatever happened to "We the people..."? Whatever happened to the Bill of Rights that says we don't have to be subjected to illegal search and seizure. Why is it ok for the DEA to make CBD a Schedule I? What is it to you if I decided to roll a big fat blunt full of MARIJUANA (that's right, I #ing said it), and smoked it in my own home on my own time? Why do the cops get to destroy our lives over such trivial stuff?

And you really think that more laws are going to fix this????? It was the Draconian legislation that got us here. People are too cowardly to stand up for themselves, to defend themselves, so they let the Federalist Pigs do it for us (Patriot Act, NSA wire taps, TSA). Now look, America sucks again. In fact, America sucks so bad that we decided to choose between the world's worse two fat, old, rich, compulsive liars, to micromanage our lives even more. We had third parties. We had other choices. There is no excuse for our stupidity.

If this is what America has become, then I am Un-Amerikan. I will not salute your polyester red, white and blue rag (which was probably made in China). If you fought for the Flag, then that was your choice. It is more noble to fight for our liberties and rights. I wont sing your star spangled hymn. I won't stand for the pledge of allegiance. My right hand will not rest patriotically upon my heart. And most importantly, I will not invade other sovereign nations to kill for oil money. No CIA trained terrorist Easter Egg hunts for me. No thanks.

What I will do is continue to express my opinions, however unpopular they may be. I will continue to advocate for your right to voice your opinions no matter how idiotic or offensive I may perceive them to be. I will stand against the Dominionist Evangelical Front that has aligned itself with the GOP, and I will categorically refute their BS propaganda Theology when I see it.

Women have the right to choose whether or not to abort pregnancies. The Bible says soul-life begins at birth, not conception. Marijuana and alcohol consumption in moderation is not a Biblical sin. Even if it was, America is not a theocracy. Marriage should be a contract between the parties directly involved, not in the hands of the State or Federal Government. No member of any religion should ever be subjected to registration with the Government. If you are really afraid of terrorists, then arm yourselves you damn [SNIP].

Why is it so difficult to comprehend? If I live, I want to live and die free, even if there is no safety or security. If I succeed, I want it to be own accomplishment (between me and my God). If I fail, I want it to be at my own expense. If I'm broke, I'll skip meals. If I'm rich, I'll share with whom I see fit.

I try my best to respect the rights, privacy, property, and expression of those around me (regardless of how much I like or dislike them). All I ask that everyone else try to do the same. We cant have a perfect world, but things would be so much better if we use discretion, objectivity, and treated each other with respect, without the expectation of reciprocation.

You might get a kick out of this.

None of that stuff matters. All that matters is if your person won or lost. sarc.

Rome didnt last either.

Well actually it kinda did. They just renamed it as 'Modernization'.

a reply to: BELIEVERpriest

Agree on just about everything you mentioned. The reason "why" on most of these things is corruption and power. Who makes the money, who has the influence, using that influence to gain followers and support to push their agendas.

This is the way of the world and always has been. Just like everything else in this life, when things are going well, some ass hats always have to come screw it up for their own personal gain (monetary, influence, ego, fame, power).

This is predestined and the cycle always repeats because of the nature of man.... quite frankly, people suck. Not all people of course but there will always be jackasses who want to bring you and everyone down or lord over them.

If I did not have to rely on employment for income, I would be on top of a mountain away from everyone. But alas, that is not the case.

Don't let any "church" get in the way of your relationship with God if you so choose it. Most of their doctrines / rules are meaningless and you do not need a "church" or "denomination" to know Yeshua HaMashia if you so choose it. We have all the resources we need at our fingertips, we can translate Greek and Hebrew words ourselves now, we have every commentary, word definition, and cross references, and research notes available with the internet.

It is a wonderful time to be alive.

a reply to: infolurker

It is a frustrating time to be alive, but a pivotal time nonetheless. Within the next 3 generations, there is a new Reformation coming. Things suck because Christians have abandoned their first love, and gone after the riches of the world. The Hebrew and Greek will soon be a point of heated contention as we move into the next phase of history. Until then, the best thing we can do is respect each other's right to faith, life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness. The wicked will continue corrupting, but they can only control those who willingly submit to their psychological games.

Rome, the ever changing beast.

a reply to: JesusXst

Very true. It is the people who make the nation, not the nation which makes the people.

a reply to: BELIEVERpriest
You have a balanced assessment there. Both extremes to "left" and "right" are neighbors - more similar to each other than dissimilar. The further extreme you go the more authoritarian you get. They do not hate authoritarianism, merely the "other side's" authoritarianism.

a reply to: SargonThrall

Gang mentality is an enigmatic psychological phenomenon. People care more about inflicting oppression on the opposing side, even if they hurt themselves in the process, rather than choosing moderate stability.

That's a mighty tall pedestal you have built yourself there. I doubt any will be able to approach. I also for see a bit of disappointment awaits you as you judge everyone too stupid, dull or unworthy to join you in friendship. Every generation has bemoaned and rebuked the generation that came after as being in some way a failure to their expectations. That's just growing old.

a reply to: BELIEVERpriest

I agree with almost everything. I'm anti religion amd anti gun. I know neither are going to happen but think it would be a better place with out either.
The rest is spot on. Read it in the voice of trae Crowder the liberal redneck from YouTube. No offence meant.

a reply to: BELIEVERpriest

Wow we are in agreement on something!!! In fact everything you just wrote is exactly how I feel. I haven't pledged, or sang, or right handed my heart in years. I stand, so as not to be an ass, in that I don't want to sear the conscience of the little ones, those who would be incredibly offended by sitting. I try to be respectful of those who do find it solemn and true. If I could sit down and have a good conversation with all the hundreds of people around me that I don't know when a pledge happens I would, but I can't, so I stand at least.

It is a crazy time to be an "american". How very sad, but exciting. Only by them making things worse will we have any chance of making things new. I've gone into full disclosure mode with people in my circles now. I will likely be the crazy conspiracy guy, but when I start telling them what will happen before it happens, they might start to see. People don't know. They have no clue as to what is actually going on. So we have to tell them. We have to try. At least we have to do it for the kids. What will it be like in 20-40 years if left unchecked?

We will be victorious. It may not be now, it may not be for a hundred years, but the message of freedom will win. I have hope. Because I believe in LOVE as the greatest force there is. Love will win. When love dominates then we will have true freedom.

Shalom

Well I happen to be a millennial, so this is mainly for my own generation. I don't know what your problem is.

a reply to: zardust

Yeah. You really have to pick your battles when it comes to "patriotic" functions. Some people can learn alot by being offended, and should be taught that the center of the universe does not have a pole with an American flag. Others are too set in their ways to learn anything.

Wish you both the best of luck finding happiness.

No one is holding you back!

You have two choices...

1. Get up off your ass and DO something about it, OR...

2. Get OUT...and don't let the screen door hit you in the ass on the way out!!

Sincerely,

America

a reply to: BELIEVERpriest

Nailed it!

These are the sorts of sentiments I expect from people who love liberty, no matter where they live. It is heartening to know there are still such persons walking the world, that not all have been overcome by hypernationalist blindness, nor by people selling bridges they have no ownership over.

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

I am going to do something about it. I plan on moving to a freer state and living it up, and one day maybe running for some office. If elected, maybe I'll be the first unshaven, casually dressed senator with uncombed hair, just to prove that looks mean nothing. My campaign slogan,"We want freedom and justice back. The rest of the country can sincerely suck it!"
