It's Good To Know the State of Alabama

[Guest Tigrinum Major]

YOUR STATE? The STATE belongs to God, and we the people are merely stewards of the state (and apparently even the crooks). However, if there is a problem with the laws, then THE PEOPLE need to be made aware, in any format possible, as long as it's within the law (it's called a grievance - and is constitutional). I choose the "slam effect" because I believe anger motivates people to do the right thing, and I have something to compare it to. Plus, I can't hide emotions the way others can, if I'm mad you will know. I apologize if I offended your LOVE for a state, the one to which you do not own. Nobody owns the state, but God.

Semantics, you twisted, delusional little man.

"What are we talkin' about, semantics?"

"What are we talkin' about, semantics?"

Could you say that differently?

Why hire a lawyer, when I have paid enough in state income taxes to provide enough support to use the system to it's full advantage? I should not have to hire an attorney, because that's what the NLRB, IRS and Alabama Industrial Relations Board is for, right?

Yea right, that's like paying more taxes to get the same result. I would rather pay 2.25% over a lifetime of employment and never be concerned with criminals. That's where the Goon Squad comes in.

Then by all means, contact them. And if you had wanted to do so, you could have made these points in that same thread about 24 hours ago. I will continue to derail your threads that cryptically slam my state and have some vague reference to a thread from four months ago.

We can't read your twisted, demented little mind.

So now you don't like living in God's state, and you hate God's people for being stupid Southern rednecks that are corrupt?

Semantics, you twisted, delusional little man.

Maybe little in stature, but huge in heart and determination.

In your eyes maybe so, but in God's eyes, well you ask Him.

"What are we talkin' about, semantics?"

Yes we are, because disinformation starts with the very basics to include misinterpretation of language, culture and political foundations.

The state of Alabama, just look at the roads. They were layed out by throwbacks with lack of foresight and planning. Must have been Bammer Civil Engineers or Law Grads turned lawmaker/politician on both the local and state levels. Or maybe, they were farmers.

Specific disobedience breeds disrespect and promotes general disobedience. Our grievances must be settled in the courts and not in the streets. Muscle is no substitute for morality. Civil disobedience is negative, where we require affirmative processes. We must insist that men use their minds and not their biceps. But, while the emphasis must be on the three R's of reason, responsibility, and respect, we cannot accept selfrighteousness, complacency, and noninvolvement. We reject hypocritical tokenism. We have an affirmative and daily duty to eliminate discrimination and provide opportunity-full opportunity and meaningful equal justice for all our people.

In an era of social, political, and scientific revolutions -and at a time of accelerating and complex change-we of the law must particularly renew our understanding and improve our articulation of the basic issue of freedom under law and the continuing need to strive for equality and meaningful liberty and justice for all.

Freedom is not some easy gift of nature. The plant of liberty has not grown in profusion in the wilderness of human history. Liberty under law is a fragile flower. It must be nurtured anew by each generation of responsible citizenry. Let but a year of neglect be sanctioned, even celebrated, and the jungle of force threatens to recapture the untended garden.

I hate the unjust laws that serve only the plantation owners. It's called discrimination, and favors the rich. Workers don't seem to have a voice here at all. Not all who reside here are God's people, just a handful.

Dude when is the last time you looked around? Show me a plantation? And furthermore who died and left you all knowing of who or who was not "Gods people"? Why don't you just start talking up the arian race while you are at it.

Well, maybe more than a handful. I stand corrected. So ask God how many are here, b/c I didn't. Just guessed by the hypocracy I witness daily. Godliness is lifestyle, not a one time committment. "By their fruits..."

It's amazing what a trip to the local library can do.

For me it was about three years ago, when I read this book.

The plantation concept never died, it just changed names (welfare system, small companies paying low wages with the boss getting all of the profits, Enron, Worldcom, Healthsouth, etc.). It's now called capitalism. Darn that capitalism, it's moved overseas now in the form of sweatshops. There's your free market guys and girls, you live with the guilt. I'll buy "Made in the U.S. of A.", recycle or make it myself. I don't buy Chinese/Japanese/etc. unless it's food stuffs that are specifically from that origin. My computer was free. My next computer will be Made in the U.S. of A. from foreign components. It's the only alternative I have now that would support domestic labor.

Uncle Sam's Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America's Poor and What We Can Do About It

From the Press Release

Book Description

Star Parker, freedom fighter and social policy activist, has written a blistering indictment of today’s culture of government dependency. “Uncle Sam’s Plantation: How Big Government Enslaves America’s Poor and What You Can Do About It” traces the benign origins of the welfare state and its evolution into a $400 billion plus monstrosity of programs that effectively enslave America’s poor.

Parker, a former welfare mother, has seen first hand the damage that a life of dependency renders. Years of massive government spending have left America’s inner cities in shambles, black families destroyed, and youth uneducated and directionless. It’s time to cut our losses, get government and bureaucrats out of the way, and return our precious and limited resources to where Americans know how to use them best - to the control of private citizens. Perpetuation of the lie, says Parker, that government programs can solve the problems of individuals has left a generation of black Americans with a loss of a sense of self, hope, and responsibility.

In Uncle Sam’s Plantation, Parker reveals how:

•The welfare system enslaves the poor on a subsidized, legal plantation

•The left and right continue to look in error to government approaches to poverty

•Government undermines the framework of morality and values without which poverty and adversity cannot be overcome

•Politicization of welfare, education, our tax system, and our retirement system perpetuates the cycle of poverty

Through the welfare system, “Uncle Sam has developed a sophisticated poverty plantation, operated by a federal government, overseen by bureaucrats, protected by media elite, and financed by the taxpayers. The only difference between this plantation and the slave plantations of the antebellum South is perception.”

Product Description

Book Description

America has two economic systems: capitalism for the rich and socialism for the poor. This double-minded approach seems to keep the poor enslaved to poverty while the rich get richer. Let's face it, despite its $400 billion price tag, welfare isn't working. The solution, asserts Star Parker, is a faith-based, not state-sponsored, plan. In Uncle Sam's Plantation, she offers five simple yet profound steps that will allow the nation's poor to go from entitlement and slavery to empowerment and freedom. Parker shares her own amazing journey up from the lower rungs of the economic system and addresses the importance of extending the free market system to this neglected group of people. Emphasizing personal initiative, faith, and responsibility, she walks readers toward releasing the hold poverty has over their lives.
