Our founding fathers picked the Bald Eagle as our countries bird to symbolize our freedom. The Bald Eagle is unique to North America. Conservationist have gone to great lengths to protect this animal and it's habitat from extinction. It seems funny that the Bird that symbolizes our freedom is so diligently protected, yet we don't put the same effort in protecting freedom itself.
Liberal politicians crave power above all else. As the government gains power, the people lose freedom; it's a zero sum game. Thomas Jefferson said eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. It's not likely that the people will be vigilant in gaurding freedom, if they don't understand it's in constant jeopardy. Originally Posted by joe bloe

He was a brilliant thinker and writer and I went to UVa, but pleeeaaaseeee don't think that his beautifully crafted theoretical essays have more than the most tenuous applicability in our modern society. Blacks, women, men who didn't own land and any minority basically had no freedom at all, and if they did for a short time, then any wrong step and the law would not protect anything they had much less their person. Get a grip and figure out that we are already all socialists the only question is what degree. There never was a real communism and the only reality is varying degrees of democracy or despotism. Obama is not the enemy, a Republican Party that basically wants a one party state (can you say Communist) and Karl Rove and his ilk that will do anything (can you say voter suppression) to achieve it are the real enemy. Denying the vote is Un-patriotic and essentially un-American. Get a mirror and take a good long introspective look because you have lost all connection to reality.

We are not so far advanced that we no longer need liberty. It's not the Republicans only who want a one-party state, the Democrats and Republicans are working together to bring that about. The idea that the Republicans are pure evil while the Democrats are righteous and holy is ludicrous.
I'll die to defend any bat-shit crazy thing you think or say as long as it doesn't undermine the Republic that you say you love so much (and say anyone who doesn't agree with you hates and is determined to destroy) so put that in your red-white-and-blue pipes and smoke it.

After three generations of ?communism how the hell do you back that up, dipshit?Look it up stupid. Communism doesn't mean someone is an athiest. It just means ya can't own shit. Besides it's no different than you advocating Socialism but at the same time you claim to believe in God.
Wrong, wrong and wrong.
But at least you sounded like you knew what you were talking about.
another baseless claim from a RWW douchebag trying to sound like he has an education. Fuck that, make it teeth! . Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

The fact still remains that christian faith still exists among the Soviets.
Wiki results for Communism and religion...goes straight to K Marx... contains quotes such as "opuim of the people", "had ambivalent attitude towards religion" and finally "In the end Marx rejected religion"
