Rush Limbaugh has been challenged by MSNBC. The fellow they had on said that Rush and Sarah Palin aren't being straight forward with the American people when they challenge Obama on being a socialist. The argument goes like this. Rush Limbaugh has said that he doesn't want Obama to succeed because that would be socialism winning. That as a conservative he isn't for socialism. Rush has asked on his show for people to show him anywhere in the world that socialism has worked. The MSNBC guy says that in fact socialism is everywhere in governments throughout the world. He uses the example of Medicare being socialism, and says that it works. His challenge to Rush Limbaugh is to address his listeners telling them that medicare is socialist and should be eliminated. Do you think Rush willtake up the MSNBC challenge?

The pressure employed doesn't change the act. You may feel like a coerced socialist ... but you're still a socialist.

Further, when we are continually admonished that ignorance of the law is no excuse ... we should investigate the law and set things right.

I would tend to agree, and as well most of the people who collect a Social Security Stipend have paid in to the fund for all of their working life. That same money invested even in a very conservative vehicle, such as AAA Bonds, would receive a higher rate of return. People have their money forcibly extracted to pay into Social Security and had the government behaved as a private Trustee is required, by law, every benefit paid would be larger and just as earned.

Of course some receive a benefit without a commensurate contribution, but that is a minority and another fettle of kish.

And I still despise that slimy NeoCon mouthpiece and talking puppet "Pills" Limbuggerer - the "Closet Queen" of Talk Radio.

I truly feel your pain, and agree that much stealth, theft as well as fraud have been employed to manipulate Americans into the Socialist NWO. The Federal Reserve and the Social Security System have completely enslaved/bankrupted Americans. Our being made subject to UNCONstitutional laws depends upon the fiat currency issued by the "FED" and the usage of "SSNs".

That's why I say there's a very real war being waged against us to take our country. All we have to do to stop it is refuse to participate.

They say all is fair in love and WAR. I think that's the attitude of the elitists.

Fraud is always a risk - take for example the Sub-Market "I.O.U.'s" that Congress and the pResident, since Johnson - a Democrat, began the practice of stealing the Social Security Fund blind.

If you were at gunpoint and told to say "Christ isn't lord" and you said it then they shot you anyway. Would you still be a christian?

What about if you were held at gunpoint and told that you must confess christ is God and become a christian. If you did that would you be a christian?

Were Social Security a voluntary association it would be another matter, but as you rightly point out it IS NOT voluntary and a contract has been made with those who have contributed. Neither am I a big fan of "Pyrrhic Victories".

No of course she would still be pregnant. By the same token one would have only said "i accept christ..." That doesn't mean they really did.

If a vegetarian is forced to eat meat at gunpoint and they do eat. They are still vegetarians.

Lets take your belief a little further. If you don't want someone to go to hell. You should hold a gun to their head make them confess christ then when they do shoot them so they don't change their mind then they would be saved correct?

It is voluntary, as are ALL CONTRACTS !

Every effort is made to pursuade us that it's mandatory through the ignorance of employers that have a corporate agreement that THEY are obligated to, and so many other contrivances such as bank accounts and credit cards etc., but all of them are voluntary.

When you admit that you may wind up homeless what you're really saying is that you depend upon them and their fraud to survive.

The victim mentality is simply an excuse. You are Socialists just like the Russians have been communists. No one said you had to agree, only that you participate. Whether your participation is considered by you to be of your own free will or coercion at the point of a gun has little to do with the end product.

And I've yet to hear of a Repub turning down money from a "socialist" welfare program like MediCare, MedicAid, Social Security, Unemployment, Mortgage Insurance, FedBacked Mortgages etc, etc.

If you want to have a discussion of what socialism means, or how we can unensnare ourselves of the effects of dialectical thinking that's one thing.

But you'll win no friends here, nor will you advance the descussion in any meaningful way by name calling. On this forum "socialist" is a not a good name.

I agree with the German argument part, but I think the SS argument is relevant because it plays such a critical part in determining jurisdiction and law. Now if you're saying it's irrelevant because no one will change ... I might have to agree with you and hope against hope that the system fails completely.

222, this sort of rejection of the system has to start at an early age. You can not slash cut people from their only source of income. If you have a humane way of doing so, let's hear it.

There has to be a will to build a bridge away from it and of course there will be no support of reducing the size of goverment or dependence.. only the ability to survive.

So, you are telling people you must stop helping the beast by dying.

That doesn't work for me.

Not all are on SS, but let's start there.. obama is going to.

It doesn't work. Those that can't pay for medical care should ask charities for help. The government should not be giving it away when it is not theirs to give away in the first place.

I have never been homeless, yet. I work without a SSN, and I will never sign a w-2or w-4. I have no driver license. I have no SSN. I never had to tell the school that because I wasn't aware at the time. If I had to do it again I would.

If I were having a child at a hospital these days, I simply wouldn't name it at the hospital. I'd be undecided. No law against not naming the kid at the hospital. No name ... no way to attach a SSN. Most people want the tax deduction, and that's why they stamp their kids with a slave number. (I did it too, and I am sorry).

Finally, one of my best friends has two boys that are hemophiliacs. Their "factor" (clotting factor) would cost her at least $200,000.00 (I think it's actually closer to $500,000.00) per year. She could never obtain it without government assistance. She has no choice, but that doesn't mean she isn't a socialist because she is.

I do have empathy for everyone of us that have been fucked royal by the criminals that have taken over the government. And I would offer that our grand parents and parents have done this to us through their apathy and gullibility. Still, my parents and grand parents are dead. They can't help me undo what they've done. We all need to help each other undo this horseshit.

I'm the first to admit that I'm more stubborn than the next guy. Everyone doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to shake their middle finger at Uncle Sambo.

The one thing they can do is ADMIT THE TRUTH, ALL THE TIME, TO EVERYONE IN THEIR SPHERE OF INFLUENCE ... and that is that WE ARE SOCIALISTS. It has been imposed upon us through the fraud perpetrated upon our parents and grandparents when the government was thought to be honest.

Those days are LONG GONE !

~ therein lies the rub of conversations like this on-line, basicly friend, from my perspective, you've just told me the sky is green ... you've told me something that I shall only try to accept as being true 'cause this is intended by me to be a conversation ...

1980 in denver - 1982 in Texas - 1987 and 1991 in Pennsylvania, a parent could not leave the hospital with a baby without first naming it and registering for SSN .... child services with police backup were used to hold the 'virtual' gun for the SSN, so, to answer a previous question, no, an ssn person never personally pointed a gun at me

only war I ever managed to win with the system over my children was the fingerprinting, and that was because I walked in and demanded them back, took them from a rather surprised young cop's hand with a thank you ... they let me have that one, I figure 'cause they already made a copy

way kewl that you've managed to survive without any of these trappings ... maybe you could write a book and tell us all how ya did it ~ peas 2u

I started exiting the system earlier but was out completely by age 39 and had 2 children to raise. I modified my life and decided I could and would live on less money if I could avoid financing international kiddy murder. My motives were spiritual, I trusted God to help me all the way ... and he has, every step of the way. I admit to having reservations and fear in the beginning. I had to learn stuff that no one should have to learn. In the end it depends upon how motivated you are.

I raised my kids (as a single parent) from the time they were 14 and 8 until they were grown / out of the house, by working for myself. I learned the laws necessary for survival. I had quite a bit of interaction with my son's schools. I wouldn't allow them to do things with my son that they were doing with the other children. They send stuff home for the parent to sign, because most of it is your waiver of rights to allow crap that would otherwise be illegal. Most parent don't even read the stuff, and simply sign it.

I vowed poverty if necessary, and would admit to some inconvenience but not a lot. Again, the trade-off for me was not funding the genocide.

When I was in the system I made over 100K per year. And that was a lot of years ago ... when the dollar was still a quarter ! (Supposed to be funny).

We, all of us, must take the time to become very vocal. Resist at every opportunity. The enemy is within the gates and destroying everything in sight. We may delay the impact but we can't avoid it by remaining silent. We have a chance if we stand up !

The people in Iceland are banging pots and pans 24/7. They have shut down two governments in weeks. We MUST unify to shut down the FED Bank ... without the FED Bank the federal government is really a paper tiger - a house of cards.

If there is a judgment day, God isn't going to listen to a bunch of bullshit about I couldn't have a bank account or a credit card if I didn't take this number.

The Bible says that many will claim on judgment day, we have healed the sick and removed demons from people in Jesus' name, to which Jesus' response will be "depart from me you workers of iniquity for I have NEVER known you".

Edit: I meant to make this point. The people collecting Social Security today aren't guilty of anything, they paid their dues unwittingly, and have a right to their monies. I am more concerned about people paying it today because it goes into the general fund and pays for bombs and guns among other things.

222, I totally love your story. There is no one size fits all fix, and there is no doubt I know you see that.

But, to exit the system requires some planning and blaming people for funding that which they did not see, war/genocide/self destruction... is a process that requires the truth getting to them and through to them. The media won't do it, the church?, what other forms are there to reach masses of people that MIGHT understand.

Doing what is right is also a subjective argument for some.

We can see what is right, but it's on the other side of the lake. Before we can get there, we have to build a boat.

So, how do we do that?

But as an aside, all of this could be a moot point when the government declares bankruptcy. It all comes to a full stop. Then, perhaps targeted groups will receive 'help'. Others will be left to die.

Communitarianism (Idea and Movement in politics) - "With the demise of true socialism as a viable intellectual force, communitarianism is now the most active philosophical opposition to libertarianism. Communitarianism is usually presented in a vague terms, but it is probably best understood as a mild form of collectivism or "democratic socialism."

"We establish for the moment a new world order. 11 September 2001 everything changed."

Promoting global government: The Communitarians creating a supra-national system of "values" that over-rules all national law

"[communitarianism is] a notion that years of celebrating individual freedom have weakened the bonds of community, and that the rights of the individual must be balanced against the interests of society as a whole. Inherent in the philosophy is a return to values and morality, which, the school of thought believes, can best be fostered by community organizations." (Robert Putnam of Harvard University and a Bush speechwriter, explaining President Bush's belief in the communitarian philosophy for The Washington Post, 2002)

As I recall, it has ALWAYS gone into the general fund. That isn't something that just happened in the last few years.

Social Security benefits are not guaranteed.

They are not guaranteed legally because workers have no contractual or property rights to any benefits whatsoever. In two landmark cases, Flemming v. Nestor and Helvering v. Davis, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Social Security taxes are not contributions or savings, but simply taxes, and that Social Security benefits are simply a government spending program, no different than, say, farm price supports. Congress and the president may change, reduce, or even eliminate benefits at any time.

Social Security's Sham Guarantee

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.

Further, when we are continually admonished that ignorance of the law is no excuse ... we should investigate the law and set things right.

So how do we go about setting things right? What are you personally doing to set things right because you believe social security is wrong? Action speakes louder than words. How about taking up a leadership role by going public in a dramatic way so that we can follow you? Somebody with good sense needs to be out front and leading the way.

When it comes to the time when the mark of the Beast is in effect. Your strict adherance will be necessary.

Cincinnati company, CityWatcher.com, which stores surveillance-camera footage, earlier this year implanted employees with chips to allow them access to high-security areas, Big Brother opponents went ballistic.

WND Exclusive 'Digital Angel' set to fly soon Implant technology to be beta tested on humans Posted: June 14, 2001 1:00 am Eastern

© 2009 WorldNetDaily.com

Beginning July 15, Applied Digital Solutions will begin beta testing on humans an implant technology capable of allowing users to emit a homing beacon, have vital bodily functions monitored and confirm identity when making e-commerce transactions.

The first production run of "Digital Angel?" devices has begun, the Florida-based, NASDAQ-traded company has announced.

While the manufacturers of the technology bill it as a potential lifesaver, others fear the advent of the device threatens personal privacy – and even raises the ugly specter of the Bible's "mark of the beast." Applied Digital Solutions, an e-business-to-business solutions provider, acquired the patent rights to the miniature digital transceiver it has named "Digital Angel?." The company plans to market the device for a number of uses, including as a "tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced e-business security."

Digital Angel? sends and receives data and can be continuously tracked by global positioning satellite technology. When implanted within a body, the device is powered electromechanically through the movement of muscles and can be activated either by the "wearer" or by a monitoring facility.

"We believe its potential for improving individual and e-business security and enhancing the quality of life for millions of people is virtually limitless," said ADS Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard Sullivan. "Although we're in the early developmental phase, we expect to come forward with applications in many different areas, from medical monitoring to law enforcement. However, in keeping with our core strengths in the e-business to business arena, we plan to focus our initial development efforts on the growing field of e-commerce security and user ID verification."

A skin-embedded computer chip is not required to undergo testing by the Food and Drug Administration and will thus be available soon, the company that designed the product said. The company, Applied Digital Solutions, has publicized the device, called Verichip, as a substitute for medical tags, saying that wireless readers could be used with it to get information like the pacemaker model or drug allergies of a person brought to a hospital. In reality, however, the chips would only contain identification codes that would refer to a database of medical information. Applied Digital Solutions said because the chip would not contain medical information, the product was able to avoid F.D.A. review. The company has said it will begin distributing equipment to read the chips to hospitals in Palm Beach and Broward Counties in Florida. Applied Digital Solutions has struggled financially in the last two years, and recently laid off all but 200 of its 1,600 employees. Shares of Applied Digital rose 4 cents, to 52 cents. Scott Silverman, the chief executive, said it was shifting its focus from the information technology business to emerging technologies like Verichip.

But as an aside, all of this could be a moot point when the government declares bankruptcy.

I think they already did that in 1933. They just didn't tell us and initiated the fiat system to replace the system we had so that they could collateralize then steal the land we live on through UN World Heritage Sites, and international biospheres.

I do realize everyone's situation is different and moral judgements vary. I have a very good friend that watched me go through the political process from conservative Republican/Pat Buchanan supporter to total resistance and exit. He's a millionaire or was ... that has lived off of stocks for as long as I've known him. When we talk, I jokingly tell him that he's the enemy because he's buying the guns the feds will use to kill me.

I wish a bankruptcy would be declared openly and people could decide whether they wished to participate or not in the next fraud. Truth is we are bankrupt, there isn't any money only credit and debt notes that are meaningless promises to pay.

Maybe people don't "think" it's over yet ... but what's transpiring right before our eyes is what happens similarly when an Apartment House starts getting run down. The slum lords get worse as time goes on until the building is condemned, demolished or collapses.

I don't know exactly how to make things easier on others. I do think the sooner we roll up our sleeves and get started the sooner we turn things around. Thugs aren't easily convinced to become saintly. The Magna Carta required the blade of a sword be pressed firmly against the Kings throat.

I'm a firm believer in calling a spade a spade. Hi, I'm Doug, and I'm a SOCIALIST. It's been 30 days since I accepted a social benefit or donated to the government war fund.
