I'm sure the Zionist Occupation Government would secretly run an independant Texas too.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
Here's the problem, plain and simple. When the US started, we were for small government.
Name a time in US history, where a law passed, and government got smaller... ever?
It's not a republican thing, or a democrat things. It's people in power always want more power.
Bush exploded government control over its people at a rate never before seen in the US, and Obama is making Bush look like he was standing still. When our forefathers said every government needs to be overthrown from time to time, they were not kidding. Now is not the time to do it, but I could see some point in my lifetime it happening.
you say you want a revolution, well you know, we all wanna change the world
TheRealMafoo - I doubt we will ever see a revolution. The founders didn't envision a standing army. Besides that people have been bought off by gizmo's and gadgets. Too put it bluntly people are too complacent and really don't care, because quality of life is still pretty damn good.

I agree... but at the rate we are going, that's not going to be true forever.
Bush really screwed us. Obama is making it worse. You can't continue to spend money you don't have without consequences. One day the US will crash hard, and then let's see how complacent the people are.
Ok, Halogamer.
This is getting ridiculous.
First, you post a thread saying how much you are proud to be American and then you post a thread saying you want to secede from the union. Do you really know what you want or are you just another angry conservative without any ideas who just wants to obstruct the Obama administration's goals? You conservatives had your chance to run the US and you really fucked it up badly.

Actually...the U.S. scrapped a failed approach at government called the Articles of Confederation because the federal government wasn't STRONG ENOUGH.
So if anything, the historical evidence suggests that the Founding Fathers DID think that a strong federal government was necessary because the previous one was such a miserable failure.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I love how people like to talk about american politics on an international forum geared towards video games.
I must ask though, why are we americans the only ones that bring up politics. I don't think i have ever seen a thread on british politics or any other country for that matter.
I also must ask how much you people from other countries actually care about our politics?
