As a kid growing up in the 70's Im sure my teachers wouldve told the story of athens to us, had it not been suppressed We got plenty about big brother, & the history of power, corruption, & oppression of ordinary people from roman times, the dark ages, through to english & american history. George orwell's _1984_ was a common choice for a book report As we grew up into the 80's, the theme of gov corruption as a root cause of domestic & international warfare continued, as we were shown hundreds of hours of newsreels & documentaries about WWI, hitler's third reich, stalin, WWII, the introduction of nuclear power, hiroshima & nagasaki, & vietnam. These years of study peeled away the rosey angelic image where most history books wouldve still had us holding blind loyalty to it. This was re-inforced by my church teaching me to guard against the sweeping influence of nationalism & its unquenchable bloodthirst. To never idolize ANY government Power, wealth, & greed are the forever inescapable corruptions of humans & their governments. It is only patriots standing for their neighbors & for their own freedom that keeps this evil from overtaking us all We must never forget these lessons, because anyone failing to learn this falls victim to propaganda, prejudice, & hate, & is easily manipulated by such things

@@scottholliday9308 I think you missed when I said, "no one thinks America is a direct democracy"? have you ever heard of a colloquialism? its where a word is used in a casual conversation to refer to something other than its original meaning. A good example is the word "theory". colloquially, a theory is any thought experiment or idea on how something could work, whereas in the science world a theory is a thoroughly tested idea that represents the highest standard something can reach in science. In this case, the colloquial term would be "democracy" where the term is used to refer to the ability of one to effectively vote, whether it be for a representative, head executive, or for laws, when the technical definition refers to a specific type of government system. also, you used the wrong "their" multiple times, but that doesn't actually affect your argument.

Our representatives and governor have so much common sense, and they do what is in the interest of their constituency because these folks are armed, wild (veterans and farmers), and they'll show up at the capital, lol.

How many soldiers does it take for the government to secure the run ways, the roads upon which the parts, weapons and fuel arrive at the airport, the factories where those parts and weapons are made and stored, the refineries where the crude oil is refined into jet fuel, the trucks that deliver all the needs of those soldiers like food, water, etc.? Logistics is a complicated mess in peace time. Just think how bad it would get in a civil war!

What the wording in the Declaration says is of no consequence as that document holds no legal standing. The Constitution is the Law of the Land. If you cite the Declarations words in court you'll quickly find out nobody in the room but you cares what words it contains as it was simply a notice to a King that his people were in Rebellion and the reasons for the treasonous acts we would undertake in attempt to separate ourselves from the oppression by the Crown of England of our Rights as English men.

I have been PREACHING this historical event for years, i am so happy you are talking about this, please talk about the Posse Comitatus Act, restricting government from intervening during civil issues, only people that could intervene would be local and state law enforcement. Federal government is not allowed to get involved with civil issues. National Guard receives federal funding and acts as a federal entity.

@SoloPilot6 7 күн бұрын

Not quite. The National Guard was Federalized by Woodrow ("He Kept Us From War") Wilson, the "Progressive" racist who saved the Ku Klux Klan from extinction. As a component of GARA (Guard, Active, Reserve and Auxiliary) it can be called to war by the President and Congress, thus is equipped, trained and administered as if it were part of the Army. However, it is SEPARATE from the Army, directed by the state governors, thus not included in Posse Comitatus.

@Kid_Twist_ 7 күн бұрын

@@SoloPilot6 I can argue many reason why you can consider National Gaurd as a Federal enity. 1. Federal funding: The National Guard receives most of its funding from the federal government, which indicates a significant level of federal control and influence. 2. Federal training and equipment: National Guard units receive training and equipment from the federal government, which ensures standardization and interoperability with federal forces. 3. Federal mission: The National Guard's primary mission is to support federal military operations, both domestically and overseas. 4.Federal command structure: When federalized, National Guard units fall under the command of federal authorities, such as the Department of Defense and the President. 5. Integration with federal forces: National Guard units often train and deploy alongside federal forces, blurring the lines between state and federal authority. Given these points, it's reasonable to argue that the National Guard has become a de facto federal force, despite its historical roots in state militias. The wordage and intention may have originated from a state-focused perspective, but the National Guard's modern role is undeniably federal in nature.
