Thats ok I'm just putting it out there, even if a small part of it has truth, I;m just really owrried about justice, and liberty going out the door very soon, and if we don't do something now, we are going to have a bleak future completely controlled, with no money, and mere existence if that.

I stopped listening when he got to the part about Islamic extremism. Haven't we got enough to worry about with all the corporate/government extremism right here in our own back yard? And THEY can GET to us with a plethora of weapons of mass destruction, unlike some shepherd in the middle east who's still trying to find his flock since the last drone attack.
And anyway, sorry Stormy, but IMO, Steve Quayle has always been an irrational fear monger.

For example, the crack head family member. Let me ask you, how do you treat a bee... a snake... how do you treat poison ivy? Do you cast judgement and turn your back on such things? No. You understand that a bee can sting, so you calmy usher it away as to not cause it stress. You slowly step back and walk away from a snake. You walk around poison ivy. You understand a thing, and then you can better interact with it. When the thief comes around, put your valuables away and lock doors/draws ahead of time. Show them love, and understand their nature. Perhaps your understanding and friendship will save their life or someday help them change for the better.

I think you are 100% correct! I live here and I am disgusted at the way people live with there head in the sand. There are too many people who have lost the pride and integrity of our history. There use to be a good stereo type for us that I was proud to hear like the "all American boy" It was a term that represented a kid who was raised to work hard, play hard, show respect for there elders, show compassion for others, went out of there way to help neighbors and not expect anything in return but a thank you, always had a smile on there face, and always accepted and treated another fairly.
The problem came when this type of "culture" was exploited by the ones who "expected" everything for nothing. Rather than work hard and EARN there way up, the others expected or felt entitled to a free ride.

i for sure think a revolution is needed, but i want it to be peaceful. i admit this may be a stupid idea, but couldn't we take our country back by all of us at once refusing to pay our taxes. simply throwing our hands up and saying enough is enough, we are through with the enslavement! it would bring our government to it's knees and send a loud and clear message that we are sick of the corruption, endless wars and waste.

perhaps what you've said is true, but i believe people are having a shift in consciousness and are starting to wake up. at the very least i'm sure we can both agree that we live in interesting times! the next few years will certainly not be boring!
