Anything other than a small, limited government that is 100% bound by the constitution, accountable and representative of the people and only focused on the defense of the nation and protecting the God given rights of the individual is intolerable.
Great reset needed. Just not for economy. I don't understand why we can't get for smaller government now. In the past we had huge debate over needing a federal government and the overriding argument was that we needed to pool our resources and communication in order to defend each state against threats of other nations.
We have obviously lost that benefit regardless.
And not to mention with communications digital, interstate highways and transport built now, currency and trade being instant and digital, we have no need for a large federal government.
We could transition back to clusters of small governments that work together when needed fairly easily. Like a neural network of state government.
If all states become threatened, like actually threatened, then all states work together to their best ability. If say there is a natural disaster in the gulf by hurricane, then gulf states work together and midwest and Northeast states can opt to help if they can and if not, well we really shouldn't hold it against them. But the reverse is true if the western coast catches on fire. Let it be the western coasts problem and other states can pitch in with resources if they have the means.
We can react quickly enough these days with communication and transport now that the idea is feasible, where in the last the federalist arguments was that it was not the case so we need a centralized "server" of law and resources to send out and that was the most effective at the time.
So why not "defund" the federal government give states back the power - maintain a small federal government very small - and giving states the power to do what they need to do for their economy, people, climates, etc?
Oh I'll tell you why. Because our federal government is a godamn swamp and we have lost control over it, which was the fear of fears when it was established.
regulation is often required to ensure genuine competition – but all too often the political right has a irrational knee-jerk reaction against regulation and the political left has a knee-jerk reaction against competition.
I think many of them are rotten to the core, but a lot are just brainwashed. They really think there is a Nazi around every street corner. They really think all Trump supporters are sexist racist bigot homophobes. They really believe that redistribution of wealth is the only way to save civilization. Nobody ever taught them otherwise. And with media censorship and narrative pushing, they've never seen evidence to the contrary.
I like ancap-ism in theory and it would work great inba vacuum. The problem is other nations. If the nation turns into essentially mega citystates they will be much easier for a country like china to take over. A bunch of states cant come up with a navy like the one we have now.
Trump is right drain the swamp and return to smaller constitutional govt
Once you expand the government it is nearly impossible to reign it back in no matter how hard you try. Even Trump with all the power of the executive and a “friendly” congress in his first 2 years could barely dent the government, and it’s not for a lack of effort.
It’s the same thing with rights too. Once the government learns it can take away your rights and you won’t fight back then it will gladly do so. And once the government does take away your rights good luck getting them back
This is potentially the biggest benefit of a theoretical secession of states, giving those states and opportunity to reset the government back to a position of minimalism.
This right here. The constitution is only a piece of paper that has as much power as we’re willing to give it. The power of the constitution is reliant entirely on the willingness of the people, courts, military and government to enforce it
How many clueless well meaning Pedes do you think this post will cause to post something suspect enough that they can twist it around and use against us?
I'm an immigrant from Scotland and I left the UK for the same reasons this patriot did. I had no representation. Now in my new home across the pond it seems I still have none.
We’re not being ruled by our government, what’s clear is that we’re being ruled by our oligarchs.
I like neither government or oligarchs, but I’d rather the government (and the people) have more power than corrupt globalists with their own interest different from the people.
Anti-secession laws are inherently unamerican. America itself was founded by rebels who seceded from the British Empire. America was founded on the principle that all humans have a right to self-determination. If America itself bans secession because “it would hurt the other states!” then the US is no better than the British Monarchy in 1776. I’m sure the revolution hurt the British but that didn’t stop the founding fathers from seeking liberty.
Should American liberty die we mustn’t allow unjust laws and concerns about an already fallen nation to stop us from acting upon our god given right to self-determination
Queen Clown Nancy Pelosi quotes him all the time. Makes me sick every time, but also makes me happy knowing T. Paine is laughing his ass off from the grave knowing what's coming to her.
Government even at its best is not your friend. Government is either your servant or its abusive. Be neutral towards government, and don't trust any politician until they've proven themselves worthy.
There are 3 context in which we must have government (ie an individual or small group of people could not achieve these without the consent (and money) of all people):
Defense against foreign aggression
Law creation and enforcement
Infrastructure (eg roads and bridges)
That’s it. No BS Department of Education that indoctrinated our kids. No Department of Health that consumes the majority of our taxes. No Social Security Administration to act as politicians blank check and way to indebt our country for eternity.
The time is come to throw off old government and institute new government. Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
You want to know why? For years people have dehumanized us. Called us Nazis. Called us terrorists. Killers. Enemies of the state. And you know what...after years of daily hate piled on us...after us having our votes stolen from us...you come here to hate some more. And then sit there and question why we dont like it??
We want peace. We want a country equal for all. I have shed blood for you. My own blood to protect...you. I dont even know you. But I did it for you and all the other people in this country. Because I love this country. And all I got in return...was a thankless society asking me why I get upset when they shit on me and my rights.
Where were you? Where were you when I looked down the barrel of a gun to protect you? Where were you when I got injured? Nowhere. Guess what? I'm not going to your place on the internet asking you why you were not enough of a man to stand side by side with me. No...because I don't need your validation. I don't want or desire it. I just want to be left alone and in peace. And you can't even give me that. So thanks...for nothing.

Bigly . . .
A godamn cancerous swamp, that is consuming all the resources of our country while increasingly killing it.

This was the intention originally.
So utopia.
Because it takes a utopia for a piece of paper to actually constrain anyone
This right here. The constitution is only a piece of paper that has as much power as we’re willing to give it. The power of the constitution is reliant entirely on the willingness of the people, courts, military and government to enforce it
There will always be a need for national defense and law enforcement for this reason. Utopia is impossible.
Any questions?....:)
Yes. Does Mike wear boxers or briefs.....?
That would be a question we would have to ask Obama......
Or Big Mike
Talking about dicks is making Big Mike even bigger.....
I see what you did there!
LOL
Doesn't matter, that python has to get taped down anyway.
Anaconda Big Mike confirmed?!?!?
Ohhhh.....ohhhhh....I got one!
How many clueless well meaning Pedes do you think this post will cause to post something suspect enough that they can twist it around and use against us?
I know right? Fuck Thomas Paine. Such a massive glowie larper.

We will not let them take our freedom.
Don't feel too bad, I would leave the UK for the US tomorrow if the option was open to me, unfortunately it isn't. Good luck in your new life mate.
Same same
Nice username.
Common Sense
Unless of course you were brainwashed by the intolerable evil to think it was good.
We’re not being ruled by our government, what’s clear is that we’re being ruled by our oligarchs.
I like neither government or oligarchs, but I’d rather the government (and the people) have more power than corrupt globalists with their own interest different from the people.
The oligarchs bought the government, so yes, you're right.
The Less Taxing/Spending Power the Federal Govt has, the Less Potential Corruption there is for the Oligarchs to commandeer.
More Taxing/Spending = More Corruption
SECEDE
Who gets to be the "intolerable ones"?
It's the only way forward now.
I'm going to be honest I don't think anyone should secede. I think we keep all 50 states. Just kick out DC 😂
Send the commie minions to China.
You're a fucking idiot.

That was before we knew a virus could exist that mimics the flu in almost every way.

If you haven’t watched this Japanese student study the Ashli Babbitt murder you have missed some very important detail
https://www.theepochtimes.com/video-analysis-of-ashli-babbit-video-suggests-coordinated-actions-interview-with-masako_3652783.html
I can't watch that again, it was so awful. Can you please say what the student noticed?
I watched that last evening, it is very interesting. She's right: I didn't notice those two guys at all until she pointed them out.
Good catch.
I came to bring the Paine!
The more centralized the government the more intolerable it becomes.
Amazing quote.
And your comment about the quote is...?
I have a question... where is Pelosi? I think she was arrested!!!
The time is come to throw off old government and institute new government. Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
We hereby revoke said consent.
I blame the left...
and the right politicians
Democrats and the radical left hate historical quotes...history in general
You want to know why? For years people have dehumanized us. Called us Nazis. Called us terrorists. Killers. Enemies of the state. And you know what...after years of daily hate piled on us...after us having our votes stolen from us...you come here to hate some more. And then sit there and question why we dont like it??

I just want to be left alone and in peace. And you can't even give me that. So thanks...for nothing.
I appreciate your service. Thank you!
Thank you for your service. You're appreciated.
The fact that your idiot comment isn't posted here just one, but TWICE, proves you a liar, sir.
You sir are a FIRST CLASS MORON!!
Dear faggot retard,
You can go literally anywhere else on the internet to complain about Trump.
Sincerely fuck off,
-TDW
I agree with you. That's why I dont support freedom of speech. And I never complain when conservatives get censored.
