I believe we are going to need a real Conservative in the White House. The first step would be for us to elect enough conservatives into the House and Senate to stop Obama's Marxist doctrine. We won't be able to overturn things like Obamacare or some of the stuff they have done so far because he'll just veto it, so it won't be until 2012 until we'll have a chance.
Alot of this depends on the type of people we elect this November. If the Democrat's stay in power then we're screwed.
Let me say, if DO NOT think Obama is a Marxist, we are miles apart. Govt. dependency is the goal of this administration, control over the people is power and when you hsve the people crawling to govt. for their every need, and govt. controls that need, that is power.oug wrote:

But aside from that, how would conservatives help out? As far as I made out it was the lack of control that started this in the US.
And here, what the conservatives are doing is they took advantage of the crisis to impose heavy taxes on the lower classes, lower the minimum wage, make it easier for corporations to fire people etc etc. The measures are like a tombstone over an already struggling market. Not only do they not help minimise the country's debt, it simply obliterates the buying power of the middle class and widens the chasm between rich and poor.

The lower class has never hd a heavy tax burden, in fact the rich are the ones that carry the tax load in our country. To sum up, read my sig. It fits perfectly in addressing your post.

All of this started by democrat intervention in a system that forced that system in providing loans to people who could not afford them. Period, the end.

Now, I completely agree with Winston there. Taxing the hell out of the middle and lower classes - in other words the majority of a country's population - is most certainly pointless to say the least. I don't know specifics about the US tax system, but I do know that the average joe is far less taxed compared to here, and that's certainly a good thing.Wait what's the purpose of that?

Religion does seem to be one of the most divisive things ever constructed by humans.Cybargs wrote:

Alledged differences between races are merely caused by peoples' surroundings. A race living in the jungle is bound to differ from one living in the desert. But said differences are only superficial - and in the modern world they've been blown out of proportion intentionally by groups of people who profit from this separation.Cybargs wrote:

The system that is in control of our money is a privately owned company, which follows no regulations and is not auditable. It has simply the interests of the owners in mind for the last 90 years. Are you supposed to just believe their intentions are good?

Taking shit out of context. When people refer to a "global governance" they mostly refer to the role of the UN and cooperation between member states. I don't exactly get what is wrong with global governance unless it violates the UDHR or the UN Charter.Mitch wrote:

You do realize in the UN that sovereignty is a BIG BIG issue when it comes down to passing resolutions, even security council ones. With such a liberal (classical liberal, not what you americans call "liberal") institution I doubt they would pass anything that would be an infringement on the UDHR. And why the fuck are you Americans so paranoid? You guys have Veto power in the UNSC.Mitch wrote:

over rules countries' laws. (the constitution)
creates no way to escape the laws you dislike. You cannot move to another country if its a global law.
global laws would be the worst thing to happen to the planet. say the global government decides that violent games need to be cencored - suddenly nowhere in the world can have a game where you shoot someone.
its absurd.
The ones with the power to veto are the ones who have the same idea of global governance.Cybargs wrote:

No the ones with Veto power are the ones who won WW2. Did you ever pick up a history textbook? There's so much bickering within the UN I doubt they can do any real harm. Most people in the UN are a bunch of pussies anyway.Mitch wrote:

OMG mitch READ THE UN CHARTER. First off, the only thing the UN can pass that is legally binding is SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS, which have a specific purpose to specific conflicts. Countries do have their own laws and will not be replaced any time soon. and shit any treaties country sign HAVE TO BE PASSED IN THEIR OWN LEGISLATURE FIRST.Mitch wrote:

countries need there own laws just like states need there own laws. the federal government cant help but to take over states laws, just like the world government wouldnt be able to help but to steal countries laws.
its a quest for power. just realise it.

National legislatures still have to agree to any treaty before it becomes part of national law. That's why the US didn't ratify the Kyoto Protocol.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

There's also a huge difference in the way the UN theoretically works and the way it actually works. Anyone can regurgitate 'how a bill becomes a law' as seen on Saturday morning cartoons but does that reflect the reality? Political posturing abounds in virtually any political institution. Playing MUN doesn't mean you have some sort of esoteric knowledge of the UN.
