An individual is as free as they choose to be.
That's the mind job here. The "enslaved" individual is already serving somebody and will continue to do so until/unless they choose to serve somebody else.
Gotta serve somebody. Starts and ends right there. There isn't really an "our freedom".
Gotta K.I.S.S. for myself. Saves me a lotta grief.

But the reality is that we arent going any closer in the right direction. If you read the above article and research how accurate it is, it completely shows you how nothing has changed for the better and in fact in most cases just getting worse. I see no evidence that Trump has taken one step toward correcting anything thus far. As I stated above, there are a few things the president can do without congressional approval that would benefit us that he hasn't done. So he has absolutely no excuse for breaking that promise. Which only goes to show you that he is more of the same - listening to the same people Obama and previous presidents listened to.

You actually believe there will be change??? I said the same thing to trump people when they were so orgasmic about him winning. Wait until he's been in office 6 months and then show me all his accomplishments. Been right so far...
You keep waiting and hoping. I've been waiting and hoping for 50 years now and I'm not putting false faith in these guys anymore. "The State" will keep growing and keep destroying liberty and you will just wind up paying for all the bills...

I thought Trump would be catastrophically bad given his prior liberalism, anti-free trade agenda, and his initial push for a massive infrastructure project. All three of those things have gone away.
Instead the country is objectively freer under Trump. Neil Gorsuch is on the court. That is a big swing from Hillary appointing Ruth Bader Ginsburg Part II. If Republicans hold the Congress, Trump will likely pick a replacement for Clarence Thomas. It would be a huge win if Trump gets to replace Ginsburg.
Scott Pruitt is waging an all out war at the EPA. Some great articles on what he is doing and the amount of death threats he is receiving. https://www.wsj.com/articles/keeping...afe-1509578717 http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...ntal-lynch-mob
We are going to get a corporate tax cut that is in line with the rest of the world along with a small income tax cut. Trump didn't take the bait and get the US involved in a meaningful way in Syria. Trump already is the best modern President on regulatory issues, perhaps the best ever.
I guess I have very low expectations and Trump has easily cleared them. I am quite certain a Mitt Romney or Hillary Clinton Presidency wouldn't have Mick Mulvaney in charge of the budget or have Rand Paul with a major influence on their thinking.

Indeed. And if rendition and a suspension of habeus corpus for those the US government declares enemy combatants is to be normalized, well, you have to hammer a few nails to build a wall.
I wonder, if the Bundy’s took the refuge while Donald Trump was president, what would his reaction be?
I remain recklessly pessimistic...
Appointing people to positions doesn't cut it. I want to see results. My taxes are still sky high. When do I get "relief"? There's nothing on the horizon...
The coal thing is good but I don't expect a lot of regulation to "go away"... There might be some adjustments in certain EPA numerical values but they will still send a goonsquad to take your property if you violate their dictates.

You've got to be kidding, right? With the Trumpster's attitude to anyone who doesn't toe his line you have to ask?? He would stomp his feet and say NO ONE has the right to step on "federal land" and take possession. Wait until something similar happens while he's there. He is not your friend, friend...

Small individual tax cut and a corporate tax cut.
Pruitt actually isn't enforcing a lot of laws which is driving the left into rabid insanity. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/o...aw-pruitt.htmlThere might be some adjustments in certain EPA numerical values but they will still send a goonsquad to take your property if you violate their dictates.

Mixed results? What we have is cherry picking facts that are fake news. The goalpost keeps getting moved but it doesn't matter, they will find the number 23 because they are obsessed with it. Pretty soon arguments will get even more stupid because it will be close enough to the election. So when you say that you don't support Trump because Afghanistan, or because anything they are going to just tell you its because you're some secret democrat. There will be no honest discussion of Trumps policy because his supporters still won't admit he is not wearing clothes, you really can't argue facts with those people.

I sort of wish that were the case, but this is just negotiations, and threatening to pull out of a deal is the oldest sales tactic in the books. In reality they really don't like Canada undercutting us on taxes. They don't even put call centers in India anymore, they put them in Canada. They don't want companies moving to Canada to get a tax cut, and they don't want to have to give companies a tax cut to stop them.
Three years from now there will still be NAFTA (or something by another name that does the same), we will still be at war - somewhere stupid, Obamacare will be with us (with maybe a few lines of regulations changed), I will still be in the 30+% income tax bracket (when you add state and local it comes closer to 45%), and you guys will still be giving Trump a virtual blow job...

The ship is indeed turning the wrong direction and its too big to avoid the rocks. I choose to watch as an unwilling participant and try to plant the seeds of liberty wherever I can in my life.
Liberty and individual freedom lives within us all. Even in our current virtual cage. Don't be their prisoners fighting each other for scraps and perceived respect. We need an escape plan.
Talks of liberty have mostly become arguments over a man around here. What will he do next? This is exactly what they want. Open your eyes.

Yes, I think he would have had just as much influence with Romney as he does with Trump. Maybe even more effective since Rand would be the leading anti-establishment politician in Washington.
I'm personally ambivalent about TPP so that's why I didn't consider it, but sure I'll give Trump credit for that.
Trump didn't understand TPP but that doesn't stop his supporters from understanding. Just like Rand Paul said in the debates the TPP was about combating the petroyen. Which is ironic because Trump ran on an anti Chinese trade platform. Now we all know candidates aren't always honest about their real platform. So what's his real position on trade with China? He has continued the war against the yen, the same policies Obama started, his administration has threatened to ban China from access to the petrodollar he is doing the same policies that were pushing China into creating the petroyen and leading us into war with China.
