Ted Oplinger Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Well, we cannot trust government, so I guess we're going to have some problems... Blessings, Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J.

Ted Oplinger Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Well, considering that every post here is also dutifully logged in at that Mega collection center in Utah, Dear Leader's bureaucrats know who they have "issues" with here. I've been thinking the government's representatives may well come knocking one day, to inform me I am either being audited, or being relocated to a nearby re-education camp, with the opportunity of a life-time to recant of conservativism...which is by most reports the sole reason why the Gov has such a mess of a nation these days. While the latter is merely a joking point at the current time, the headlines of today have that point greeted with rather nervous laughter... Why should we trust the government, if they are going unleash the dogs of war on people simply because they disagree politically? When a private citizen must tremble before a government representative for no other thing other than political/religious disagreement, then that government is not to be trusted. Period.

joeb Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Further quotes from George Bernard Shaw. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW EXTERMINATION OF THE "SOCIALLY INCOMPATIBLE" "The notion that persons should be safe from extermination as long as they do not commit willful murder, or levy war against the Crown, or kidnap, or throw vitriol, is not only to limit social responsibility unnecessarily, and to privilege the large range of intolerable misconduct that lies outside them, but to divert attention from the essential justification for extermination, which is always incorrigible social incompatibility and nothing else." Source: George Bernard Shaw, "On the Rocks" (1933), Preface. USE OF GAS CHAMBERS "We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living, and to leave living a great many people whom we at present kill. We should have to get rid of all ideas about capital punishment … A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look after them." Source: George Bernard Shaw, Lecture to the Eugenics Education Society, Reported in The Daily Express, March 4, 1910. KILLING THOSE "UNFIT TO LIVE" "The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way. Is it any wonder that some of us are driven to prescribe the lethal chamber as the solution for the hard cases which are at present made the excuse for dragging all the other cases down to their level, and the only solution that will create a sense of full social responsibility in modern populations?"

Ahhh, yes, Neil - the ol' "It can't happen here in the US by Democrats, so it must be crazy" thought line. I think highly of Dr. Demento's theme song as well...but today's headlines are making his song less and less applicable or funny.
