How much can you trust our government and the Presidential candidates? By the looks of it not much. Take a look at Strike the Root, a liberterian website. Most will say, well this is a biased website. Yes and no, it gives inside looks at both the Republicans and Democrats and then at the government. It isn't a partisan website so to says, anyone from anachists to liberterians write and are posted here. Now I'm not pushing them, just saying. We need to maybe stop watching just our local television stations and listening to those radio stations. Take a look at foreign stations, more than not they tell the truth about what is going on in America.
Obama has been found out to have contributions made to him and then taken when they came from bogus donors. McCain is under scrutiny for his involvement in covering up the amount of POW's actually left after the Vietnam War. Our financial market is in ruins as of right now, and senators are coming out saying that economic terrorism and fear mongering were used to pass the new bill through. Obviously this isn't getting out into the MSM, why? Who knows?
The founding Fathers were wary of too much government. The government should be working for the people. They should be passing laws in our interest, not in the interest of the government. We claim the financial crisis on free market economy, unfortunately, there has been no free market economy since The New Deal. Why must tax payers pay to bailout the banking industry? And why does the government have its hands so deep in the banking industries pockets?
George Washington warned that that partisan politics and intangling treaties would destroy the United States. What do we have now, but both of those things. And does America seem to be doing really that well? Don't think so. Our rights and liberties are instilled in all of humanity whether you believe in an intelligent being or not, everyone agrees on basic rights and liberties. People in American seem to believe in the idea of freedoms. You want liberties, not freedoms. Freedoms are given and taken away by the government, but liberties and rights are not.
The government works for the American people..well it should. Our government needs to leave our rights and liberties alone and stay out of our business. It needs to govern by will of the people, not the government. The Chicago School of Economics has been corrupted by partisan politics. So how much do you really trust your government? And who's in charge in America?
Wow! This is very enlightening. I do try to stay updated on politics, but I didn't know it was this bad. I absolutely love foreign news sources. It's really great if you can find ones that hate our country because you're almost assured they won't be biased. In addition, if you HAVE to rely on something American, I would suggest two things: refer to news that TRIES to stand middle ground (like CNN) and also get information from both extremes (MSNBC and FOX) that way you're getting candidate bashing from both sides.

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it p
By economic terrorism, I'm refereing to it from the government, not what we deem as terrorists.
I don't rely much on CNN, it's too liberal biased for me. Fox is really the only right wing news agency, but MSNBC and CNN are mostly left wing.
I Agree with you with the idea our government is no longer doing what the public wants but what the govenment wants. the power in America has unfortunately shifted to a higher economic class. It is statistically proven that the higher a person income the more likely the person will vote in elections. This proves that many citizens of the U.S. are being misrepresented.
The US government has always been on its knees while eating out of the hand of the British, them being the puppeteers of your nation.

"anachists to liberterians"
You know very well that this is not a very wide segment of the political spectrum.

I know. Was waiting to see who would catch that. Sadly no one or they didn't say anything if they did.
But it does give a different view than is what we get from the majority of media coming out of the United States. Al Jazeera is good too. I looked at them after I saw it on your page. Take the biasness of every source and then find the truth...or try to.
Though, MSNBC has a swath (hoping that's a word) of opinions from all over the political spectrum.
--Mike
I'm pretty sure swath is a word.
Hmm, maybe I should pay some more attention to MSNBC.
Nice blog.
The founding Fathers were wary of too much government. The government should be working for the people.
Don't forget that the founding fathers were also fearful of the people taking over the government. They didn't want to much, but they wanted just enough so that they could stay in power. So far, it's worked.
