Go away! [/quote] Must be a COMMIE out there.. [/quote] Bottom line is this..This is being discussed over every table in the USA..Both sides.. [/quote] See that's what I was wondering!!! Hence why I made this post! So does anyone else concur with my theory that they are doing this on purpose? Idk I just can't believe that this is some kind of plan to better the country at all... It just doesn't make sense... What does make sense though for whatever reason is that they want us to riot... Maybe they want an excuse to shoot us to incite THE FEAR CONTROL factor... [/quote] It seems that all sides are unhappy with the current flow of our country. Change is a normal factor in our history, But I see your point as to how prevalent it is. [/quote] Everyone here is asking for a TRUE DEMOCRACY. Not a system that needs a congress/house/senate to vote on decision but a state democracy voted on by the people of THE STATE for decisions. Different places different styles different needs. They say the Feds need to step away and give people back the power they were supposed to have at the start of this country. The technology for this exists today. We are all so networked now that it would be so easy to convert to this style. Let the people decide whats best and if we go down then we know who's fault it is. [/quote] That's an anti-Federalist point of view. You may be more comfortable with the idea of an improved Articles of Confederation rather than a Statist Constitution. [/quote] It's not Anti Fed. It's controlled Fed. That's what it was supposed to be anyway. This country was founded on the idea that the people controlled the government not the other way around. Over time it has shifted power over to the government. I simply ask for responsibility to be re-delegated. Honestly this would be a good thing overall for the FEDS sure a lot of people would lose jobs but it's a necessary step to get it back to where it was supposed to be. Feds should simply be in charge of national defense internally and externally. This includes foreign policy. Beyond that everything should belong to the state and on a vote premise where it's majority vote of the state not electoral based. President should be voted on popular vote not electoral. Who cares if one state has more population. If you get up off your ass and go vote yours should count the same as any other state. It's also much easier to investigate voter fraud with this system... Hence partially why they continue to keep the electoral system because it's easier to control than millions of people. People need to wake up and start thinking logically. [/quote] Yes, they need to wake up -- and that includes YOU. Everything you posted above is 100% BULLSHIT. The "founding fathers" set the whole thing up. I don't doubt that you BELIEVE what you posted. You need to stop listening to "conservatives," pundits and historians and do some REAL RESEARCH because you have swallowed the lies hook, line, and sinker. [/quote]

Video Reference for today's overheard conversation during my lunch.
EDIT: A Video a commenter on here showed me. Seemed very on the spot.
I love going out to eat here in Texas. We have a ridiculously high selection of restaurants to choose from so I have the luxury of most time being able to eat at a place I've never eaten before.
That being said I must say the chatter I've picked up through the last month or so have been in one word... INSANE!
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE is talking about how they can't stand what our government has become. Yes Obama is a big part of it but it's more than that now. They say it's the entire system practically!
Today I overheard a big group of people talking about the newly signed UN treaty banning guns. They were talking about what they would do if someone ever came to take theirs away and it wasn't pretty...
I just want to say this now... NO one is going to accept that here...
This leads me to wonder... Is this planned?... I can't imagine our government wouldn't know the reaction of the people if they were to try and do a gun ban...
This makes me curious that what if they are trying on purpose to piss the country off into a violent confrontation? I honestly don't know what the benefit of that would be but they can't surely be so stupid to think that half the country would rather die than lose their defensive tools?
I don't really know a solution to either side but I'm telling this chatter is not just small talk. These people are dead serious about this and everyone is getting grouped up on the same idea. I heard many heres heres in response to this groups conversation. Remember I usually go to a new restaurant everytime so it's not the same people I'm hearing this from it seems to be everyone around here.
Has anyone else heard from the general population talk like this?
