gang shootings went through the roof in Toronto when the Liberal government was in power. so much for the failed gun registry. ha ha ha

people think that they can Swedenize the Americas by taking away guns from regular people. criminals don't hand over their guns.

guns are great for hunting animals too.

another method of fighting that no one has brought up is to join the opposition party, give time or money, or work to influence the next election. obama is already working on bringing in more immigrants to vote for him if anyone noticed.

what the USA needs is strong leadership. regardless of which avenue you come from. to influence the future. if you can win over the current administration on issues it is the shortest fastest route. but some issues may not be resolved that way. I will leave it up to Americans to figure this one out for yourselves.

my major issue is economic policy. Canada has our act together on that one and it appears as if Europe is leaning to the right too. lowering taxes, not spending, not borrowing, is what is working.

does anyone read these?

every time I read the policies they have moved dramatically to the right.

the slowest one to move though is the economic policy... still needs lots of work. though there have been cuts in spending... just slow.

I should mention that there is no shame in preparing the next generation of political leaders, media, lawyers, business leaders, etc etc from our political leanings en masse because it was done in Canada (to the left) and it certainly has affected our culture dramatically. all leadership in society, with a planned agenda. why are we sleeping idly by when the rest of them are making plans (funded by our socialist tax dollars). its not just for today but for the future and an ongoing thing. when people caught what was going on I have never seen so many people fired up to make a difference and get out there into the industries that will shape our culture.

Chris,
You have a 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Would you FIGHT if the government decided to take your guns? They didn't fight in Australia or Canada!

not with guns... not yet. the "gun registry" which was a useless excuse for a gun program was thrown out with the next election. and was laughed at throughout the process and forever afterward because it was completely ineffective, expensive, worthless and apparently impossible for the government to achieve. I think the general population did not cooperate. we didn't need to fight. the government was ineffective.

Yes! I am asking is there ANYTHING here in the US that you personally would be willing to fight for? If you aren't American, is there any freedom in your country (if you have any freedoms left) that would be worth risking your life for?

Mike

for the most part Canada goes along with USA and everything USA does affects us. I might be moving to USA in the future.

I would fight for my family and loved ones no questions asked. I would fight to preserve our way of life and freedom. guns are a last resort if all else fails but they are not out of the question. I am working very hard to try to make sure it doesn't come down to guns. educating the masses, preparing for sustainability, trying to influence politicians, preparing for the future. my family has a specific plan in such a case and we have for generations.

So MikeOH you are referring to the homeland then (USA), not current events overseas?

we have all seen that the USA economy has affected worldwide stock markets.

I have been reading books on economics lately, not just USA but Africa and international. one of the books (incidently that Obama has read) discusses the future economics of our world based on the thesis that the rest of the world will have a higher standard of living in the future, and what this means for America is that rather than being the sole superpower that America will have to learn to get along with other rising economies in the future.

the most important point I have come across so far, is that what we need is more entrepreneurs not more welfare, not just in the USA, but in economies in general, including Africa and everywhere else. aid is good for temporary but not permanently.

politics have their role in regulating but they are not business entrepreneurs (excepting a rare few). so I thought I would throw this out there, for those who may be thinking 20-30 years down the road, and what will be the next step long after our current situations have been taken care of and our current politicians are no longer in office etc.

I think a lot of people are fighting but they are not represented at biggerpockets, and those who are, are not going to post on public messageboards. probably most people don't want to list where they would draw the line and what they would fight for because they are or are not prepared and would rather not share that information publicly on the internet.

certainly no hard feelings toward any people on this thread, I really do try to understand other points of view even if I don't agree with them.

Josh I am sorry for all my posts that were not directly related to the topic question.
