Comment on How to catch wild pigs - or how you slowly lose your freedom by Joey Huddleston

I don’t understand why this is significant. If the pigs are happy eating their corn, what’s the big deal? Especially if the pigs are able to elect the fence builders. If most of this country wanted socialism, wouldn’t that make us a socialist country?

I’ve read this very provocative article and wish to thank the individual who had the understanding to see it so clearly.
I would like to contribute another off the wall idea and see if there’s any support for it. All of the debates regarding the rights of homeowners, who have bought homes and not had the means to support such acquisitions, are now pleading for government intervention in saving their little God’s Acre.
When did the Government become our caretaker and what about the people who struggle everyday, attempting to meet their financial obligation and doing without so that the mortgage gets paid. Are they also going to receive a bailout?
Take a good look at who now is asking for this bailout to be initiated. Schools, colleges, lending institutions, businesses, churches, stores, medical facilities, nursing homes, and the list goes on and on and on. It seems that the more that ask, the more is doled out to the masses. ‘AND THE ONLY BASTARDS WHO TRUELY BENEFIT FROM ALL OF IT ALL ARE THE NO GOOD PIGS CALLED POLITICIANS, WHO MANDATE AND IMPLEMENT THIS GREAT REPUBLIC’S LAWS, FOR THE VOTES THAT WILL REELECT THEM!
Gone are the days when your accomplishments earned you a reward. Now, we stand there with our hands out asking for our piece of the pie, never caring that this is another step closer to that PIG PEN mentioned in the article.
Again thanks to that person with a little insight, who made me respond to their wisdom.

In the next great sweep of rational civilization, many centuries in the future, they will rise up into a new renaissance based on the learning from our failing age. There is no reasonable hope for us to turn this thing around at this late date. Brace yourselves and hold on. It’s gonna be quite a rollercoaster ride for this generation.

Hey Mark,

Great post.

I’ve had the good fortune to serve with many Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines in many different places who daily face significant rigors on our collective behalf. Economic concerns are a primary issue in these uncertain times and it is understandable that our population would have its focus there. While I am not immune to the economy my concerns are with those who have chosen to stand in harms way. I vote with those concerns in foremost in mind.

I chose to vote for John McCain because he has seen the worst that humans can be and still has the temerity to choose the to run for the hardest job on the planet!

Mark…

I have checked out your info since almost the beginning… both of us came online about the same time and have seen this “world” explode in dramatic ways…

I haven’t always agreed with what you sell or the information you share but today I am in full, total, 1000%, absolute agreement with you…

I was not born here… I came here in 1962 from Cuba, an oppressive, communist country run by a murderous thug… I am proud of my adoptive country… it has given me every opportunity to succeed, has given me the freedom to voice my opinions, has given me an incredible life, has given me the opportunity to run my own business and chart my own course in life, has given me everything that has made Tony Blake who he is and what he is… America will give you anything and everything you want if you just ask for it, are willing to work for it and know exactly what it is you want, irregardless of race or creed or color or religion or credo… this “great experiment” we live in is an extremely wonderful thing…

I dread seeing my beloved country, the one I care so deeply about being dismantled and turned into another socialist state… while so many other countries are turning towards the right, we are on the precipice of electing an avowed socialist that will change the way we live forever…

The beautiful thing though is that while we may be turning to the left America always has a way of finding it’s true course and keeping the “boat” upright… we will always survive and like the phoenix rising from the ashes (which we have done over and over again) we will survive the dark days too…

Bravo for your thoughts and comments… I am one with you today… Pray for our country, for our freedoms and for the opportunities our beloved nation gives us…

Success!!!

Tony Blake

Hey Mark -
Excellent post! I’m always excited by the intelligence of those who really know what they are talking about, those who actually do their research. It frightens me how close this election will be because people are drawn to eloquent speeches that are purely emotion-driven.
I am a Canadian. I wish fervently that I could vote in this election, but instead comfort myself knowing I have changed the minds of several knee-jerk Obama supporters with facts and figures.
Thanks so much for your post!

Hi Mark,

Kudos to you for having the courage of your convictions!!

I guess many Americans are blissfully unaware that the
eyes of the world are on them today.

Interesting times we live in!!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your email. Very interesting.

Unfortunately I can’t vote ’cause I’m Australian but I do find this fascinating and am following it closely, as are many others around the world.

Did you know that Obama’s popularity outside of America is HUGE…something like 4 to 10 times that of his opponent, depending on in which country the surveys were taken? The marketing machine is doing well!

Like yourself, neither candidate holds much appeal to me, but I think (as an outside observer) that an Obama Government may be seriously detrimental to the freedoms and entrepreneurial spirit that America was built on. In fact you may risk becoming a Socialist state where all your assets are nationalised.

I’m glad you’re presenting some some crucial and overlooked information about someone we know little about.

Here’s an excerpt from an article I read AND another audio link to listen to. As an entrepreneur and business owner you may appreciate this.

I hope you find it as interesting as I did.
Regards and best wishes,
Joe

Obama says…”Shut Down All Tax Havens!”…..

Well, he’s finally come right out and said it. Yes, he has.

Democrat presidential candidate, Barack Obama, speaking on October 23rd in Indianapolis, again attacked “big corporations” who use “tax loopholes” offshore - but he also made clear that he wants “to shut tax havens” down.

If you would like to hear the farthest Left member of the U.S. Senate advocate an end to tax havens, spoken in his own smooth baritone,
Click here, then click on “Listen Now.”

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96070781

Of course, Obama - who can draw 100,000 adoring Europeans in socialist-leaning Berlin - is not yet Dictator of the World.

He has no power, as yet, to ban tax havens worldwide or change the internal bank secrecy laws of sovereign nations such as Switzerland and Panama. But a President Obama could impose currency controls on dealings with selected countries, ban Americans from moving cash offshore, and even confiscate assets under emergency decrees and the nefarious PATRIOT Act.

The young Illinois senator has made crystal clear that high among his goals in an Obama Administration will be: 1) the curtailment, if not abolition of tax havens worldwide; 2) an end to all business and personal financial privacy; 3) automatic exchange of tax information among all national tax collectors; 4) nullification of bank secrecy laws, and; 5) public records of all hitherto private beneficial ownership of trusts, foundations and corporations.

Alexis de Tocqueville predicted Obama’s ilk way back in 1835 when he wrote: “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” And so the New Deal motto has been revived: “Tax, tax, spend, spend, elect, elect.”

At least consider the prospect of offshore banking, as the window of opportunity may soon be slammed shut. It’s not something that’s limited to the super-rich anymore, and as taxes rise and regulations tighten, the benefits of an offshore plan multiply. You owe it to yourself and your savings to at least look into it.

Good post. I sent the info to everyone on my list. I wish I could say I was voting for someone I believe in, but this year I am not voting for anyone, but instead, I am voting against. How sad is that?

Have a great day, I’m getting ready to go vote soon and expect the lines to be long.

Thanks Mark.

Although I live in Canada and I am Canadian I just want to say, well said sir. This applies to every country where freedom reigns or is suppose to.

It is up to each person to vote for the best candidate and to voice your opinions so the politicians paid attention.

Thanks again Mark.

To lighten things up politics comes from two words.

poli which is Latin for many and tics a blood sucking creature. Enough said.

Mark, Thanks for such a timely message. My husband and I agree with what you’ve shared. Many Christians have been fasting and praying about this election. God help us if Obama is elected. According to the media on Fox news if Obama is elected we will face a depression much worse than the one our parents experienced years ago.

Thank you Mark for your eloquence and your courage to speak the truth. We are just about that slow-boiled frog that was started 30-40 years ago with welfare programs, government regulation in every aspect of our lives, and most effectively - lowering standards in education. We now have an incredible percentage of functionally illiterate people in our country — and they vote !! I think it was Thomas Jefferson that said we would have to have an active revolution from time to time in our democracy or we would no longer have a government to serve us but a government that we must serve. God help us. Spread the word and vote!

I appreciated reading the very thoughtful message you sent. I agree with you but this should not be considered controversial. It’s the truth. Let’s hope and pray for a McCain victory!

Great email Mark - unfortunately I suspect most of your list are republicans as they are trying to better themselves - so you are preaching to the choir

Which in no way diminishes you message - I love it!
