Liberty Quotes
When I am abroad, I always make it a rule to never criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

Weekend Liberty Clip: December 22, 2012

Ron Paul is a good bloke. A pity not many are prepared to listen to him. I did watch this speech before and think it was in this speech he said about protecting the borders of the Middle East not the US. The US with the most powerful military in the world has chosen not to protect it’s southern border.
The US is heading for crisis point and it is arguable that they can recover to be what they were in a relative sense. Can the population accept a much lower living standard for a while (high oil prices will be the most obvious to many along with reduced welfare in real terms)? Will corporate interests stop controlling pretty much everything with the lobby dollar?
Heard on ABC radio during the week a NASA astronaut being interviewed. Asked about the wind-up of the shuttle, he replied that NASA now sends their astronauts to Russia to be launched into space.
Please explain how “corporate interests” are driving up oil prices and creating illegal immigration.
We don’t have a Paul-like figure in Australia yet, but I hope it happens. Any opinions on this?
You got this bit right kelly.
Re the deliberately ? unprotected southern border.
You imply than the 82 Mech, 1 Air Cav and Big Red One instead of being deployed north and useless would fix the illegal border incursion tsunami in an instant if based there.
Give them a couple or three hundred miles each…problem solved.
So which Bilderburger meeting decided the USA should have open borders and for which reason we can’t talk about?
Cheap labor perhaps? OMG.
Alfonso, were the US to carry this out, the MSM would be amongst the first to put graphic pictures of shot civilians on TV.
Even if they had to shoot said civilians themselves.
No shot unarmed civilians.
Just the armed drug smugglers.
The mass of illegals are captured as you apply 100,000 competent military operators to the problem nightly.
The stupidity of this situation quickly forces comrade Oby or next RepDem Republican to build Israeli style concrete slab wall over whole border.
Can’t physically get through with continued military presence.
Army Corps of Engineers or Dillinghams will build such a simple thing once materials collected and money thrown at it a mile + a day.
Problem Fixed.
Easy peecy.
Do you reckon the Mexicans partly immigrate because the US is a safer society to live in?
The drug war in Mexico is a full on war. It’s not a misnomer to say it’s a war. Fuck that noise.
Brownsville is just over the border and is in the top 100 safest cities to live in the US. Texas has some of the safest cities overall, like Sugarland and Round Rock. Round Rock is the 13th safest city in the US from some stuff I’ve found.
Obama’s real fuck up is that he armed the cartels.
Oil is easy to explain in an indirect way, oil prices are not rising but in USD they will eventually, lobbyists always want money and the government to spend. I am curious actually why oil is so cheap in the US at the moment they are still a large importer but they are getting oil almost $30 cheaper than us and $20 cheaper than the Europeans. What backroom deals have they done to ensure supply. I can’t see the Saudis saying it is ok to get $30 a barrel less or maybe $20 per barrel less if transport is considered unless they are getting something in return.
With illegal immigration it is probably more political but there are businesses such as farming that rely on cheap illegal labour at the moment.

And it could be stopped immediately by the US dismantling that festering boil which is the war on drugs.
Then the only people who’d die would be the drug addicts. I don’t have a problem with that.
Anyone who wants to know what is going wrong with America and pretty much the western world today, need only look at that clip. It’s all there. Also very prophetic about what is to come.
But John Mc
I know cemeteries are full of people we/they thought were indispensable but Milt really is. He was the glue that kept the US right on a firm footing for the most part.
As I keep saying, God I miss him and the world does too.
oops wrong fred.
