It is a foundation of the American experience, and the cause for the creation of this country, that freedom is held as the paramount ideal! I, and the founders of this country, share the belief that it is better to starve and die, than it is to be fattened and bribed by our masters. Being hungry can be described as being a slave, but only to temporary circumstances that can be changed, as long as you are free to change them. Becoming completely dependent on a government to provide for your needs, is true enslavement. Demanding free medical care enslaves those that provide it. Demanding free houses enslaves those that build them. I’ld rather starve to death than live in the type of country you want!

I have been hungry, and yes, I have been homeless, yet it is only through the freedom I cherish that I now have the pride and sense of accomplishment that changed my situation on my terms. I’ve never once turned to the government for help, so I’ve not been robbed of one of the most fundamental and supreme American experiences, that of doing it my way.

Well, if that writer did know “a thing or two about the impending overthrow of the czar”, perhaps he learned of it from a crystal ball or a tarot deck. Dostoyevsky died in 1881, a full 36 years before the October Revolution. Hell, Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (better known as Lenin) was still 2 months from turning 11 when Dostoyevsky died.
Incidentally, the other quote you mention comes from “The Parable of the Grand Inquisitor” from Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and was an accusation by the Inquisitor against a returned Christ. When read within the proper context (something that so many people choose NOT to do), the quote is even more chilling since a religious figure is telling Christ that ultimately a person who is starving is already a slave and feels he has nothing to lose. Basically, what good is being free to a man who has nothing to eat?

there are some good links and news there, but those people are not about finding the truth; they are about shilling for their own orthodoxies and interest groups. dissent is not tolerated. it is scary if these people think that is any way to run an organization that is supposed to support the political party which now running this country.

they see american democracy just as an illusion to be maintained to placate the masses, while the aristocracy sucks every drop of blood and sweat they can out of us poor working suckers.

American people need to stop being brainwashed by this constant droning noise of “brilliant”, he’s “brilliant.” As a great writer who knew a thing or two about the impending overthrow of the czar by Lenin and his radical Marxists said, “It is not the brains that matter most but that which guides them-the character, the heart.”

Amen! Amen amen amen!

“These two entities—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

So, Chris Dodd, Barrack Obama and Barney Frank were the top recipients of F&F and their ilk’s campaign contributions during the last 10 years for nothing?
