Imagine....a New America!

[Anubis10012007]

I have a dream...of a New America! An America where war is THE LAST option...an America where people have TRUE freedom...an America where the arts and sciences are profound...an America where people have the right to put what they want into their own bodies and are held accountable for what they do...an America where cops actually respect the rights of citizens...an America that is based on logic and reason...an America that has an isolationist foreign policy...an America that has a LIBERAL government and is open minded...an America where a liberal Constitution is in place...and America which is a Constitutional Republic...an America that recognizes land was taken from the Native Americans and just reparations will be given...an America where African Americans shall receive reparation for the harsh and evil treatment they sustained...an America that has gone back mainly to an agrarian society...an America that does not contribute to pollution.

This is the New America that I envision for us and our children!

Will you be a part of this future?

Keep on dreaming.....

Reparations are a waste.

[Mohksha]

Reparations are total bullshit. Every group in America was a minority at some point and was abused. Irish, Catholics, Protestants, African Americans, etc...

QFT, no I will not be apart of your America.

no i won't and neither will anyone else. your dream is of a dying nation, stripped of incentive and all alone in the world. it's more of a bucolic third world nightmare steeped in socialist rhetoric and welfare state hypocrisy.




....and where are my reparations? my ancestors were slaughtered and enslaved by the armies of rome, but i don't see anyone petitioning italy on my behalf. the only folks that believe such reparations are viable are lazy fools who believe you can get something for nothing and ivory tower liberal dolts consumed by their pathetic white middle-class guilt.

I believe in the freedom part, war being the last option, and obviously the idea that people get to put what they want in their bodies. Of course, where cops respect the people who they are supposed to protect and serve (not that there aren't any - there are). Logic and reason, and consititutional... and limited government. Yes, I dream of most of what you say. Except I think the reparations are pretty controversial, and I'm not exactly sure where I stand on that issue. The people who will be getting the reparations would most likely only be distant relatives (relating to slavery of Africans, and the native american part). It's pretty controversial... people who have had nothing to do with what they want reparations for would get reparations, and that's a bit weird. The logic of it doesn't make too much sense to me, but I'm in a grey-area as for the morality of it.

An agrarian society... hmm... tough for me on that part. But of course, I think a lot of our food should be natural. It's obviously not like that now. I do believe in organic food. Maybe I'm confused about an agricultural society... does this mean many many people would be living on farms, as opposed to big cities? If that's so, then I would feel very lonely in a society like that.

Yes, I would love to be part of the future you envision. Especially since I do have native american blood in me. Give me my fucking reparations! LOL, just kidding. Not about having Native American ancestors, though.

Not contributing to pollution - definitely. But the problem with that is this: there will always be pollution, at least until the right technology comes in. Hydrogen fuel releases pure H2O, and once they get that all figured out and efficient... HYDROGEN ALL THE WAY! It would even be better than biomass fuel from hemp.

Your future is a dream, and yes, it's possible. Some day hopefully we will have freedom, and less pollution. It could happen once the elites stop keeping us in the dark. But I imagine the whole elite class families would have to die collectively for this insanity to stop. They care about nothing except themselves. Why stop at America, though, Anubis? What about the WHOLE world being free?

Anyone who says this vision is impossible, is ignorant. Lots of people back in da dayz thought the freedoms we have now were an impossibility. Sure, right now it's very, very improbable. But improbable is antonymous to impossible.

Also, may someone please explain the insane liberal bashing I see all the time? What's wrong with open-minded thinking? And please don't quote that fake definition about being so open minded that their brains have fallen out. Really, what's wrong with it?

There's also another problem with this dream, though. A republic is obviously too easily compromised, and it becomes corrupt. I believe that for this to work, a new system needs to be in place. And I don't mean anarchy. It needs to be a system that really has a good system for keeping corruption underground, perhaps 6-feet-deep even (LOL)! The problem with our current system is that the corruption that has been in place for decades has too much power now... and everyone knows the quote about power. "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." So it needs to be a happy-medium, which nobody has enough power to really cause enough corruption to change the system itself.

It is painfully obvious that in our current situation we are not as free as our real constitution demands. We are oppressed to an extent, and the oppression is mainly thought-oppression. This thought oppression is entrenched deeply into our media, which we see and hear every single day of our lives. They try to tell us what to think, even if it's very subtle. The subtlety has an impact on a majority of the population, and that's good for the oppressors. Anyone with a 1/4oz of a brain knows this, unless they are deeply persuaded by such rhetoric and psychological oppressive tactics.

This thought-oppression I see greatly in those who bash on liberals. After all, if everyone was open-minded, where would the oppressor's power stand?

This is so painfully true, good post.......:thumbsup::thumbsup:

....please explain the insane liberal bashing I see all the time....

it's not the concept of liberalism that i attack, it's the asinine socialist gibberish of the nouveau-left that i find impossible to tolerate. the notion that we should entrust our well-being to the tender mercies of the state is foolhardy at best. in a true democracy it might be a viable alternative, but true democracy is nothing more than a utopian dream. all of those freedoms you hold so dear would be negotiable if the state were given that kind of control.

look to the socialist style institutions that are already in place if you need a few examples of government run amok. welfare systems throughout the country are riddled with fraud and ineptitude, the public school system is a joke that retards the progress of the gifted and rewards mediocrity, social security is an ill-planned pyramid scheme that is crumbling before our very eyes. every time the government steps in to level the playing field we end up with an unwieldy bureaucracy and corruption from one end to the other. this is what the new left has come to represent, the fettering of genius for the sake of the mediocre.

true liberal ideology embraces freedom and change for the betterment of the society. i was born a liberal, i was a communist before i left grade school and i've struggled against the reactionary policies of the uncaring institutional machines wherever i found them. it's sad to see the labels i proudly endured corrupted by those whose aim is merely the latest face of totalitarianism. if you wish to be fooled by their propaganda and believe that they just want to save you from yourself, go ahead and stumble blindly into your cage. that new world order that has you all so scared is not just some neo-con plot, it is and always has been the ultimate goal of all those in power. liberal or conservative, their desired end is the same - control over ever aspect of your life.
