The United States of America

Thirteen colonies. Approximately 2.4 million people in 1775 who shared a common language, similar religions, the spirit of self reliance, liberty a life along the Atlantic seaboard to name just a few things which united them.

The step child of Great Britain grew up and declared its independence. The United States was formed.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The wisdom of our forefathers still amazes me to this day. They did not want an all powerful central government:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best ensure the beneficent ends of its institution.

Still concerned about the abuse of power the framers they again addressed the rights of citizens, limited federal government rights and gave the states authority to deal with their lives on a day to day basis. No living, breathing document here.

Other countries have attempted to create their sovereignty via a united federation approach. Let's take a look at the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Well, we saw how this worked out. These two countries were not united by anything other than strong willed dictators and violence. Their cause was not helped either by the full embrace of Communism.

The only way you can create a "united" country is having a shared belief system.

What unites our country today?: The Declaration of Independence? Hardly, how many people believe in God or a Creator?

English as the official language? No way, that's racist.

The belief in the Second Amendment? We know the answer to this is "NO". As there is a segment of our country who want to ban gun ownership. Heaven help us all the day "they" come to take away our firearms.

Science. Science will draw us closer together? That is stretch considering they want us to believe there are as many genders and pronouns as there are stars in the sky.

Can we be united if the Democratic nominee for president calls us deplorables and irredeemable? Even Christ forgave the thief on the cross. What does that say about Mrs. Clinton and her ilk?

What values does your community share with the Muslim communities of Minneapolis, MN or Dearborn, MI? We are a nation of laws not Sharia law.

Our country was founded on Judaeo-Christian values. Currently the US Senate has an undeclared vendetta against Catholic presidential nominees.

Over the weekend I have looked at the websites of the big name Democrats running for president. None of them discuss liberty. If they don't agree with you or your position, you are immoral. There is no mention of self-reliance but plenty of praise for one size fits all answers coming from Washington, D.C.

We might be called the United State of America. But, we are too big to succeed. It's not a matter of if, but when the citizens come to the conclusion: We are no longer united.

31 Here's the thing: the left really does mean to replace all the stuff they've torn down. They have a system they want to replace it all, but the system is like a blob of jello. It has no shape or form, no predictability, and no structure upon which to build. What was once forbidden is later mandatory. What was once required is later shunned and attacked. Yesterday it was horrible to say homosexuals can marry, because that's heteronormative and oppressive. Today its oppressive to say they should not, for the same reasons.

Yeah that grabbed my heart with a skeletal fist of ice. Deplorable is merely an opinion statement: someone I deplore. Someone I believe is worthy of deploration.

60 I'm not so pessimistic. In 1775, when the war began, roughly as many colonists wanted to remain subservient to the Crown as those who wanted independence. The patriots were never a majority. Within a century, we had fought a war that killed 600,000 of us. We have had deep divisions throughout our nation's history, yet despite it all, we've built the greatest place on Earth.

78 Why does the HHS need military grade weapons, or where did they go?

It has to do with the fact that the federal government's personnel analyst industry has a terrible bias against veterans.

There is a standing law that says that anywhere there is a security guard opening (GS-0085), the supply of all veterans who apply to these jobs must be exhausted before a non-veteran can be considered.

When the Homeland Security Act became law, there were provisions to transition GS-0085 positions to GS-0083, police officers. These provisions came with money, federal civilian access to military surplus weapons and equipment, and nearly every personnel analyst's wet dream: The ability to pass over veterans who apply to federal jobs.

There is no rest of the story. Events unfolded the only way they could, and that is why the Department of Education has a SWAT team.

Essentially, yes. It wasn't intentional but all the people who founded the USA and the thinkers they based their ideas on were raised in a culture of presumptions, among them that God exists, that He is sovereign, and that we owe our existence and understanding of right and wrong to Him. Even those who were not specifically Christian were shaped by this cultural worldview.

119 The Lincoln part is questionable. Paine and Jefferson would not be my first picks for spiritual or moral leaders. The key point is this country was founded by God Fearing people (ask the Puritans and Jamestown Settlers if church was a big thing). The Founders as a group believed in God and a Biblical based morality. You can call it what you want, all men are creatures of their times and use the terms that mean something to them at that time. They are not going to see into the future and use our terms. That is why so many dead people get in trouble with the left these days.

Well, yes and no.. Most other countries do have a history of slavery.. including the Indian nations.

But they didn't start out declaring ALL MEN have these inalienable rights, then allowing slavery anyway. Big distinction.

I realize it was another time, and that's just the way it was and took another 100 years to right itself.

But during those years, the South (mostly) bred a population that now (in general terms) drains the resources we work so hard to produce and procure. All while Democrats have sought to ghettoize them into cycles of poverty and crime.

Yes, this is another bullshit leftist argument "bbbbut, but, but, what about the slaaaaaaaaves!!!"

Yes, what about them. Where in the Constitution does it say the slaves were not also endowed with the same rights? Where does it say there was a difference in how God created black people?

It doesn't.

The contradiction was in the 3/5 vote clause. It was a contradiction that would not stand, because it was illogical. When you acknowledge that all people are created equal, the laws of man will either continue to be irreconcilable with that God given right, or the law will change.

But God's command does not change. Ever.

166 Over the weekend I have looked at the websites of the big name Democrats running for president. None of them discuss liberty. If they don't agree with you or your position, you are immoral. There is no mention of self-reliance but plenty of praise for one size fits all answers coming from Washington, D.C.

Liberty and self-reliance lead to independence from the instruments of the state. They want to be the instruments of the state and they want to use the state to control you. So, liberty and self-reliance must be eradicated.

No, not really. Countries or more accurately associations are made by and for the people who make up the association. Outsiders are just that and have no rights. That's where slavery came in.

Look at the history of Brazil. Long before the Portuguese got there native tribes were capturing and enslaving members of other tribes to serve them. Same goes for most of Latin and North America long before any Europeans got here. Slavery, in one form or another, has been around in almost every culture since the beginning of time. It still exists in part of Africa, Asia and the Middle East pretty much out in the open.

Or you could look at India or other territories under British colonial rule. The natives never had the status or rights that the rulers enjoyed. They were for all intents, slaves.

Slavery is evil, no doubt. But the US was hardly unique in how it viewed outsiders or slaves.

182 The heart of our birth is that founders believed in individual liberty while recognizing than man is flawed. They recognized that among men the following is true: power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. So they created a constitution for the purposes set forth in the preamble, a relatively short statement about individual liberty, and the remainder of the document was designed to promote and protect that liberty with its numerous checks and balances on power. Brilliant people, truly brilliant.

They founders did not include judicial review and one can look at how the judiciary has watered down those checks and balances and allowed for power to accumulate in the central government. John Roberts is the worst in a long line of jurists who have done this. His Obamacare ruling is anti-liberty. For the first time in our history the government can make a citizen buy something. Obamacare has yet to be repealed by Congress or the courts.

And it was't just the brutality - they were still close enough in time to remember the 30 years war, and the English Civil War - both conflicts in which Religion was central, and which caused more damage (proportionally) to the areas where they were waged than even WW2 did.

For man in his natural state, that is true. But atheists never seem to be able to understand that a whole lot of people believe that there are things MORE important than our own lives, or our personal desire to continue. In their view, it is insane for a man to thrown himself on a grenade in wartime, but the answer is simple - the man who does that believes that the of his friends and comrades have worth every bit as much as his own. And since all men die sooner or later, and most end up dying for nothing, dying for something is a good way to meet your end.

Once a man or a women realizes, in an objective sense, that their own life doesn't really mean all that much in the grand scheme of things, and also that in the end all physical goods are just different piles of crap, then it isn't that hard to part with any of it.

Non-Slaves states did not want slaves to count at all being as they as group literally had no power.

232 And then there's what C. S. Lewis called his "Final Argument". Suppose that, in our objective reality, there is nothing beyond us. Suppose its true that at death we just end forever, and nothing lives past us Suppose that those who say that nothing has any meaning in the end are correct, and that all will be forgotten in a moment and nothing lives beyond us..

if that's the case, then this is such a thin, bland, uninteresting universe that there's no point believing in it as it is. If that's true, then it's a shabby universe if even our petty imaginations can visualize universes which are so much better. And if that's the case, then this universe isn't worth believing in, and we're still better off going to our deaths believing what we believe, rather than the dry, shabby, meaningless universe that this would be.

A universe without meaning is a universe not worth believing in. And if it's a delusion to believe in Meaning, then that Delusion is far preferable to any "reality" without it.

234 A universe without meaning is a universe not worth believing in.

I concur.

235 When boswell asked dr. samuel johnson what he thought about the american revolution going on at the time he said "I observe those who scream the loudest about freedom and liberty are the slave owning southerners!" That is still the case today.

237 Listen, ignorant-of-history brains, this country was never united.
At the time of the American Revolution, it was estimated that the country was divided in thirds:
One-third for the rebelsOne-third for the crownOne-third who just wanted to be left alone
During the Civil War, you had a solid minority fighting to keep slavery (even the ones who didn't own any, but were conned into fighting for the plantation aristocracy). And there was a strong subset (a.k.a. the Democratic Party) who campaigned on the platform of "if you like your slaves, you can keep your slaves."
During World War II, we were as close to united as we could be, and we still had a small minority (mostly in Hollywood) actively working for the Communist Party.
Yes, there is room for despair. But there's no room for giving up or losing hope.
Fight back.

242 A United country? hell, there are people who think it's OK to verbally abuse if not assault people wearing a MAGA hat. Over a fucking hat. There are people who have absolutely lost their minds and are filled with rage. People with that much hate and so little value for life can justify anything against those with whom they despise.

243 If you use the term "Judeo-Christian" you are a retard. That term was coined in the 1940s. We are a Christian nation, or at least used to be.

244 The Republic is dead. The country is dead. Bury it all and start again. Those who hate America should leave to live in their trans sexual, socialist, workers paradises.

245 Speaking of beating England, today our boys won the Rugby 7s tournament in Las Vegas, edging out New Zealand in the semis, and dominating 27-0 in the final.

246 Most of our problems could be solved if, instead of someone leaving the Union, we could vote to throw someone out. I propose we start with CA, OR, and WA, making a clear corridor for CEntral America to move to Canada.
