Um...yep. For any international Gulchers: are you seeing the same signs? The loonies are running wild here in the USA. I wish I could say something, but I'm not an international banker nor am I a lobbyist, therefore, I am nobody to a congressman/senator.

    JBrenner. There was nothing fond to remember about the Carter years, as there will be nothing to remember fondly about the oblamo years. Well, maybe, if Martial Law is activated and the citizens rise up to take the country back from the leftist government.

    I've thought this possible since the oblamo was first elected. Now I am more sure than ever that Martial Law is a-coming before the oblamo administration can be voted out of power.

    Those things aren't standards. You're simply misusing language to confuse people about the facts.

    I hope you're wrong. If you're right, it's one more step along the path to dissolution.

    Is gravity a standard? Is man's design a standard? Is the fact that only men and women (vs. sodomites and lesbians) can procreate a standard? Is the fact that you have to use some type of language, whether verbal or nonverbal, is required for communication a standard? Is murder always wrong (not killing, but murder)?

    All moral standards eventually rely on amoral standards/natural laws which man had nothing to do with.

    Notice I did not incorporate God into any of the above. If you reject most of the above because we are just a bunch of chemicals which happen to bounce around in an organized fashion resulting in survival of the fittest, you still cannot refute non-anthropic natural law which provide standards upon which man develops standards for survival and cultural function.

    Be careful saying ALL.

    The Lame Stream Media needs something to divert our attention and get the Obamanation (the 47%) sabers rattling.... Eric Garner was choked in NY before Michael Brown was shot, but one of o's former appointees, Van Jones, was in Fergeson TEACHING PROTESTERS HOW TO PROTEST.... Really? and that didn't deserve real attention. (Since when does deserve have anything to do with it)... Now, o took a beating at the polls, so he hurries with immigration executive action and the treasonous Senate releases a false report putting Americans abroad at risk before the rapethuglikans take over the Senate. All this while race baiters finally catch up with the choking of a NYer selling cigarettes and send the 'useful idiots' nationwide shouting racism. And Gruber is recently given some airtime on ABC.....after making the news weeks ago. Can Living in a country that has gone completely insane get any better? Thank God for "The Gulch" and some sanity!

    Woodstock (NY) was in August of '69. I was afraid to go, though my future (first) wife did. My only car was a '69 Corvette at the time. Didn't seem apropos to park it on some roadside up there... :)

    And that's exactly why, when someone says "it's free," I point out that Nothing Is Free and Somebody, Somewhere PAYS for it!

    I'm hoping to 'turn' my step-grandson from the path he's being led down by his parents, peers and schools. It may be working. When he makes a statement that describes a 'problem,' I ask him, "Well, why do you think THAT happens?" and we drill down towards the REAL root cause of the issue. He is willing to drill down more layers than anyone I've ever met.

    There might be hope for his generation... :)

    Are you inferring that the majority of police "are at war with us?" I know and have known too many good police officers who in some cases, risk their lives every day in order to do their jobs. Yes, there are bad ones, arrogant ones, but while they bring negative attention to the police they are vastly in the minority.

    I agree with #1, except that it doesn't really say much about the whole country, since the congresscritters who spent the money aren't really answerable to anyone but lobbyists.

    #2 shares that same problem only more so. Expecting a congresscritter to care about justice is like expecting a wolf to turn vegetarian.

    I don't see any problem with #3 or #4.

    #5 is the well known (to economists) fact of rational ignorance. David Friedman discusses it in "The Machinery of Freedom". http://daviddfriedman.com/The_Machinery_...

    #6 is prejudice against the LGBT community.

    #7 really is silly, but I doubt it's true. (And if the people involved are adults it's prejudice, too.)

    I have no problem with #8, it's common sense.

    #9 - Same answer as #2.

    #10 - So what? Reality today IS depressing.

    #11 - These are statist lies: (a) terrorism and sexual predators are common, (b) drug dealers (as opposed to drug laws themselves) harm the public, and (c) either or both of these so-called problems, or immigration, are emergencies justifying the loss of more of our rights.

    (Gangs and welfare parasites ARE real hazards to you and me, but most of them are born right here in the US thanks to subsidies like AFDC/TANF that pay them to breed. Get welfare out of government hands and the problem will go away.)

    The enemies list, on the other hand, is a real problem. It should be the #1 crime that Obama needs to answer for in court after leaving office.

    #12 is a call for unacceptable censorship. (An arrest for "encouraging terrorism" would also be unacceptable censorship, but I haven't heard of it happening since Obama took office.)

    #13 I agree with.

    #14 is a lefty lie.

    #15 I agree with.

    #16 - Frankly, I'd rather see federal "workers" watching porn than doing what most of them consider to be their jobs.

    #17 is prejudice. Payday lenders are necessary, not least because of unfair discrimination by banks, which regulators won't do anything about because banks have lobbyists with bags of money.

    #18 is prejudice two ways. It's not wrong to illegally immigrate, and it is wrong for government people to promote the Christian idea of sexual morality on the job.

    #19 - Same answer as #5.

    Ok, I'll bite: which ones do you believe are either prejudice or lefty lies?

    For the 1st one, ok, perhaps 18 trillion dollars is a lie: technically, it's about 90 trillion dollars in debt when you include, social insecurity, medicare & medicade. Do you believe this debt can ever be repaid? If so, now that's insanity.

    About half of that list is either stupid prejudice or lefty lies (there aren't 2.5 million homeless children). The list itself is better evidence of insanity than most of the things it says.

    ALL standards were developed by man. Writers who employ "God" as a sockpuppet are cowards, nothing more.

    Most congresscritters don't give a hoot about anyone who hasn't donated at least five figures to their campaigns. Some of them will smile and pretend to care. But you won't get results. If they cared, they'd hold honorable jobs.

    I don't buy the first part of that. Most police have earned their bad reputations. It was their choice to go to war with us.

    Right. With the voting machines being from Venezuala (sp?), I doubt there will ever be a real election again. I'm not being pessimistic, just being realistic.
