Reading this article by Jacob Sullum in Reason magazine (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin), it’s made think even more about why China’s atrocious one-child policy needs to be stopped already. And, to quote a comment that I myself wrote:…

The problem is when that happens China has 17 Million Men with no Future ready to put into Uniform. The problem is Europe grows Weaker, the US more fragmented. One need only look at Regional Politics and websites to see that fact. Japan is being hit hard on its population, and Russia’s Future may lay with China.

Unless Putin’s Policies take effect, or Russian Ethnic dominated areas of former Soviet Republics rebel and join Russia.

The main problem is there are too many differances, too many Nations, and too many Systems, that complicate the Resource System and make it seem with have less than we do. Of course sad fact of the matter is Globalization won’t solve this. A game of King of the Hill is what shall happen in all likelyhood.

However, before we beat up on poor Bruce too harshy, the simple fact remains that many of the things he brings up do, in fact, resonate to most conservatives.

A liberal slant in public education? No, here I think Bruce is right to call it brainwashing. With all due respect, a “slight liberal slant” is an almost comical understatement – have you been hearing what’s being taught in the schools, espcially in the higher population/urban areas? Bruce is decidedly more right than wrong by any objective measure; brainwashing is a not inappropriate term.

We have a military that is not allowed to win the wars they fight. We tolerate perverted cities such as San Francisco to defile places of worship, evict the US military from their boundaries then welcome illegal aliens, drug addicts, transvestites, sodomites and other reprobates into their city. eminent domain has been used by government to seize private property and give that property to corporations that are expected to generate more tax revenue

.

Strongly worded, and somewhat insensitive to certain groups to be sure,but I think most here would pretty much agree with Bruce’s observations if they were worded a bit more delicately.

My assets are routinely seized by the Federal Government and given to other people.

He’s right again, and no apologies on form, here. There can be no discussion about that one. This is a simple fact for almost all of us.

As for the freedom of religion, certainly the allusion to terrorists is an unfortunate one, but it is true that if you’re a Christian, the hard-left just hates you and won’t feel satisfied until you have to carry your own cross, which you better do in the privacy of your own home lest you offend some angry secularist. Bruce here again has not expressed the idea in the most diplomatic terms, but his grievence certainly has merit.

Over the top? Yes. Right thread for the expression of those views? Probably not – Bruce is giving us tough love nobody wants to hear right now. But he’s also expressing views most passion conservatives agree with, so let’s not crush his voice too loudly. There may come a time soon when we need every voice we can muster.

Have a great weekend.

Have a Happy and Harry Thanksgiving, hahaha!

Michelle’s kid has it right. We should all remember that to be here in America is a blessing all by itself. That’s why we have 20-25 million uninvited guests this holiday season. Being illegal in America sure beats being legal in Mexico:)

Then there is this:

On November 22nd, 2007 at 1:46 pm, Alphonse said:

With the US population exploding and crunch time coming in many areas of natural resources, we’ll have to make some hard choices before you know it ourselves.

What would those “hard choices” be, and who would be making these choices?

I suspect that Alphonse would like to see deportations to Israel more than Mexico, don’t you? I think he means “hard choices” like who’s healthy enough for slave labor, and who goes to the “de-lousing” right away.

Thank God idiots like him are in the very small minority here in America.

Apparently!

Bruce,

For Pete’s sake, you took something that was meant to be refreshing and pleasant, and you ruined it. Check that: you tried to ruin it. You failed to do so, though, because not even your mindless drivel could ruin such plain, simple, innocent truth.

Look, I don’t like my income being taxed to support welfare addicts any more than you do, but several of the things you said weren’t true.

The only real freedom of religion belongs to those terrorists who follow the god of terrorism: Allah.

Bologna.

Government schools brainwash and corrupt our youth.

Public schools may have a liberal slant, but if you’re any kind of parent you more than counteract their slant with the example you set. My guess is that your kids will grow up to hold similar political positions to your own. Hell, my father is almost liberal compared to me, and I was publicly educated. I even enlisted in the Marine Corps, horror of horrors.

Unreasonable demands for identification are made on legal American citizens who wish to travel.

Bologna.

Data on every sale and financial transaction is captured and sold in order to promote or prevent people from being able to secure the necessities of life.

Such data is no doubt captured, but you are misleading others when you state that it is being compiled with the express purpose of preventing people from being able to secure the necessities of life.

Only the wealthy and the poor have security in Health Care.

Those who plan and budget for health care needs in a responsible manner are just fine, too. One of the huge lies of the “health insurance crisis” which we are currently experiencing via the media is that people can’t afford health insurance. How many of the people who can’t buy health insurance have cable/sat TV? Cell phones? A car payment? Internet service? Eat out more than once in awhile? Additionally, insurance is all about risk and risk acceptance. Many young men and women feel that their low risk of facing serious health problems does not make the expense of health insurance a worthwhile investment, so they CHOOSE not to buy it and get lumped in with the millions of Americans who “can’t” get health insurance. Lots of folks just don’t feel they need it, or at least gamble that they WON’T need it, until they think about having children.

Lighten up. At least take Thanksgiving Day to appreciate the many blessings we DO have. Then you can spend the other 364 days crusading to put right what once went wrong.

So you’ve watched the game, mauled a bird, had a fistfight with your sniveling lefty cousin, and basically gone over all the normal Thanksgiving Day traditions. Now it’s time look over the blogs and find out what others are thankful for…….

I could go on. The only way to get momentum to revolt against oppression is to make more people aware that we don’t live in a free country. We live in a “Free-er” country… but that’s not good enough for me.
