I read this earlier today. It is a great read.

Anyone remotely in tune to actual truthful news who has a brain not polluted with MSM lies or so totally invested in the sloth of complete government subsistance of such can see what is coming. It is real, it is there, and it is inevitable.

I can only surmise that greed, sloth, complete uncaring willfull ignorance coupled with a deep abiding hatred for this country by some are to blame.

I really don’t see a way to recover from this. We are too far gone, in my opinion.

The problem is that Dems, Pubs, Libs and Cons are all part of the problem so it’s unclear how anyone or anything will effect the needed change.

Good article, however, every decent individual who dares to even comment on the perversion that is government is pounded from all sides - media scum, governmental scum, parasitic societial scum - which makes it difficult to even get the message out to enough people to rally support. Although people like Rush, Beck , Levin and others could begin the process of rallying the “troops”, they never suggest for anything more than calling the very same representatives that are driving the abuse. No... I would say that we are utterly and completely screwed.

The advent of the Internet with Social Interaction sites, forum sites, etc. has become part of the solution but also part of the problem ... Nearly instant Internet communications has allowed us to become painfully aware of current events, the abuses of the obama Administration and the Dems, the uselessness of the Republican Party, the sloth of Government Bureauracy ... Thus we come alarmed... we rant and rave, we even work to elect some great hope who will rescue us. But on the flip side the vast majority of us sit at home safely and DO NOTHING but type ... And that is the problem. Sitting behind a computer and spreading the word helps - helps a lot ... BUT it is FAR FROM A SOLUTUION ... Unless we get off our chairs - out of the offices and on to the streets - NOTHING will happen. Pontificating on FR or FB is not solving the problem - not even close. I posted this link yesterday on another FR thread ... I hope it can be part of the sobering up process. But I just don’t know if there is any real chance of any real action from the masses... It reminds me of a line out of the movie Sophie’s Choice... Her boyfriend sadly laments “Sophie sure likes to say F_(K but she can’t do it”...

And why should the “good guys” rush in to fix things? They have truly “gone Galt”, seeing that investment is regarded as hostile by the Current Regime, and return is taxed more and more heavily.

Until this climate changes, the “good guys” are going to remain elusive and withhold the sum of their experience and talents.

“Let the bastards freeze in the dark.”

Tax Revolt.
Or violent revolt.

I prefer tax revolt.
Seems to me these are tools we have left in the box.

In all societies, the people will be only as good as what they are taught in their education systems.

It has been the communists dream for over fifty years and they finally achieved their goal.

Underneath the warm helping hand of this government lies the cold, iron fist of communism.

The people need to accept that this will not fix itself, and sadly, that we (anyone) can’t fix it either.

Accept that reality and channel your energies into protecting your loved ones from what is coming. Stop denying that anything can or will be done to change the inevitable.

If the Va House of Delegates has a referendum for secession, I’ll vote for it. Barring that I have little hope.

Washington is an unfettered beast.

The unfettered beast used to be "constrained" by a responsible media...which was at one time considered the fourth branch of the government and actually at some point not that long ago thought it was their responsibility to keep the government semi-honest...

The media today is simply an arm of the DNC and they don't even know it...Look what happened to Woodward when he strayed off the plantation even a little bit...

The people of Venezuela are still waiting for the good guys to arrive.

Politicians, lawyers, advertisers try to talk us out of our money to “solve problems”. They don’t solve them, they create more of them, and make everything cost more.
