And it's the Iron Chancellor, as usual.Basically, the Polish prime minister asked for 10,000 NATO boots to be put permanently on the ground way back in March. Last week, however, Angela Merkel put down the idea of permanent military placements in Eastern Europe while she was in Latvia. There are hopes that a new action plan, to be revealed at the summit in Wales. Some hawks, however, feel it nothing more than a feat of mental gymnastics that Camnator would be proud of. The problem arises form the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty, which forbid the establishment of permanent troop deployments, although Russia hasn't been exactly holding up her part of the bargain. Merkel, predictably, thinks we should abide by the treaty. One "senior NATO official" also ruled out permanent deployments, and instead made reference to "appropriate presence", which is a deliberately open-ended use of language. The recent creation of an expeditionary force/"high readiness brigade", led by British officers and capable of being launched in "hours", will be stationed mainly in Poland and have its HQ on the Baltic coast. There are a number of other placements in Eastern Europe, including the U.S.'s EAS in Germany, British paratroopers in Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and Danish, French and British fighter jets in Poland and Estonia. This might sound substantial, but the biggest NATO Baltic war-game consisted of 6,000 troops. Russia's war-games around the Baltic and Ukrainian borders have involved 150,000.

They're like nomads. They don't pay taxes and move from campsite to campsite as the police move them along.

Constitutionalist/Libertarian
If you had to pick one label. Which overrides which? The constitution, or your sense of liberty?

I really don't know. Depending on the candidate, likely Republican.
When it comes to the Presidentials, though, they always pick fucking loonies. I'd have chosen Obama over both McCain and Romney.

Voting is actually really important. Fine, skip the nation shit, but your state and local ballot issues will more directly effect you.
On a completely unrelated note, when's the next giveaway?

Oh boy let's throw in the word subhuman so we can equate the dirty atheist to a Nazi or other universally hated villain.
Because anyone who is openly critical of theism and it's adherents is an evil Nazi who wants to oppress them.
Fuck you. I have a low opinion of theists like I have a low opinion of Republicans. They're stupid and I'm not afraid to point it out, but I would not try and suppress them. No, I would not do to them what they have done to people like me for centuries.
Seriously, FUUUUCK YOOOOUUU. I have suffered at the hands of theism. I have been physically assaulted, I have family members who refuse to speak to me, I have had friends leave me. I know what it's like to be a victim of an ignorant majority.
So don't you FUCKING DARE compare ME to THEM.

I skimmed through the link and I noticed one thing: No mention of the 1970 (or 1971) act that fully eliminated the remainder of the gold standard. While it does mention the 1934 act of basically banning gold for civilian ownership, gold was still used as money backing till the 1970s. At that time our national debt numbered like $20B (rough estimate) due to being limited by the reserve of gold. Ever since then the debt has greatly risen to the current $17T because there's no limitation of the amount of money that can be printed. Basically we've been increasing inflation for the past 3+ decades and it'll only get worse, especially due to Iran not selling itself and oil to America. Oil is the only thing giving the dollar any value and we know oil is a non-renewable resource so it greatly explains American hostility and war-like nature in areas rich with oil
Fun fact with this video: Around 1:50 mark, clip of Nixon is shown and he mentions Secretary Connally (John Connally); that's one of my distant cousins.....think 4th or 5th but nerveless I'm related to him
Anyway, the path to a gold standard would take time. It would involve maintaining a level budget yearly, pay off debt/interest and reduce spending to get back to a responsible level where the gold in existence can cover the money bills
Some inflation is better than zero inflation because prices (especially wages) can be incredibly sticky and can threaten the flow of nominal income; it's no surprise that countries recovered from the Great Depression in the order that they stopped exchanging currency for gold. Speaking about nominal income, the Fed has actually been quite contractionary with its monetary policy throughout recent history. As for the petrodollar? That's dubious at best, and I have my problems with SCG despite the obvious fearmongering. It's tempting to view U.S. foreign policy through one monolithic lens, and it makes sense. But, as David Hume says, reason is the slave of the passions, and, having an intuition towards patterns, its easy to fall into a system and then reason your way into justifying it. His claim that the U.S. lost revenue by switching the sale of oil into dollars from euros doesn't make much sense, and he essentially boils the entire thing down to mad bankers pushing us towards a global apocalypse in order to prop up the dollar; it's un-falsifiable. Once you create a paradigm where aggressive behaviour supposedly falls under some elaborate, aggregate plan you can then stamp your feet and point to further aggression as vindication when really all you're doing is making a lot of noise about nothing. By the way, American foreign policy is probably driven more by pro-Israeli sentiments than the petrodollar. That'll be tested fairly soon anyway, since the petrodollar just died.

No idea what the hell you're talking about.
You know? It's like 2am and you're lying in bed or something, and then you think something is crawling on you or something.

the restitution of a gold/silver backed-economy Can't say I'm a fan. Although, under a free-banking regime I suppose consumers could be given the option of holding gold-backed currencies. That being said, George Selgin, a proponent of free banking, is still sceptical of the Gold Standard: The claim that the real price of gold has become too volatile to allow that metal to be relied upon as a standard, for example, overlooks the extent to which gold’s price depends on the demand for private gold hoards, which has become both very great and very volatile precisely because of the uncertainty that fiat money regimes have inspired. The claim also overlooks the tendency for a metal’s price to become more stable as it becomes more widely adopted as a monetary standard.
Nor is it the case that there is not enough gold in the United States to support a new gold standard. According to Lawrence White, the Treasury’s gold stock, assuming that it is indeed what the Treasury itself claims, would at an official gold price of $1,600 per troy ounce be worth almost 20 percent of 2012 M1, making for “a more than healthy reserve ratio by historical standards.”
There are, however, some more compelling reasons for doubting that a return to gold would prove worthwhile. One is the prospect that any restoration of the convertibility of dollars into gold might be so disruptive that the short-run costs of the reform would outweigh any long-run gains it might bring. A second compelling reason has to do with the specific disadvantage of a unilateral return to gold. Here, once again, it must be recalled that the historical gold standard that is remembered as having performed so well was an international gold standard, and that the advantages in question were to a large extent advantages due to belonging to a very large monetary network.
Finally and perhaps most importantly, it is more doubtful than ever before that any government-sponsored and -administered gold standard would be sufficiently credible to either be spared from or to withstand redemption runs. It's worth reading the entire thing. On a social note, I agree that life essentially begins at conception.

What would be your overall socio-econo-political label? Also, if you feel like differentiating, what labels would you choose for your social, economical and political labels separately. Overall - Liberal. Social - Libertarian. Economic - Neo-monetarist. Political - Conservative. Spoiler I know labels can be restrictive and often aren't particularly helpful or illuminating, I'm just interested to see what people choose when put in that situation.

When I say rigged I do not mean in the sense that they enter fraudulent votes into the system, but rigged as in the media purposely ignores certain individuals and tries to completely shut them out, as do the political parties. It is what they did with Ron Paul during both the '08 and '12 elections.
Yeah, I agree with that.
