WASHINGTON POLITICIANS' MOST TITANIC LIE, BY SEN. JIM DEMINT

If you watch C-Span for a while, you’re sure to hear a politician or pundit criticizing some idea by comparing it to “rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.” It’s a vivid illustration of the short-sightedness and futility of so much of what Washington does superficially to improve failed programs.

In Washington today, however, we are witnessing an unprecedented extension of the Titanic analogy: Both parties and both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue are focused on rearranging our deck chairs while there is still time to steer around the iceberg, if only someone would grab the wheel...

This government is financially broke and reduced to borrowing TRILLIONS to remain afloat as it is. States themselves are broke and in a bind when it comes to meeting their obligations. This "stimulus" plan was a short reprieve to those liberal hell-holes unable to remain solvent on their own. It bought them and the scumbags running them a little time before they have to face their constituents with the truth. The limit is running out on how far this "can" of accountability can be kicked down the road. Time is running out. Something MUST be done to avert the disaster looming for those responsible if the public is faced with the truth that liberalism has ruined their lives and futures.

Over the past fifty years, liberals have made promises to take care of everyone who supported them. They’ve promised social security, medicare, and prescription drugs to the baby boomers. They promised exorbitant retirement packages to the teachers, the federal workers, and to the high ranking military. They promised cradle to the grave subsistence to the poverty stricken with welfare, food stamps, housing assistance, etc. etc. etc.

These “promises” total over 57 TRILLION dollars. The baby boomers are almost ready to start retiring in massive numbers. They want their goodies. The federal workforce, along with the teachers and police are starting to retire in large numbers as they’ve put in their time as well. They want their goodies. Same for the military, etc. etc. The poverty folks are falling further behind and they will be making their continued demands.

If you are the United States government and are FLAT BROKE, how do you handle this situation? You can’t pay your bills. You can’t let the ones you’ve promised so much to find out it was all just a scam, at least if you are a current office holder. There is ONLY ONE SOLUTION. You anger the masses to the point of breaking up the country into separate political entities. Doing this means your day of reckoning NEVER arrives. You don’t ever have to show your hand. You simply allow history to change the landscape politically as you melt back into whichever society emerges. That 57 trillion dollar turd NEVER hits the fan. Knowing the end is near so to speak, steal as much “future” wealth as you can and take care of your buddies on Wall Street before you leave office (Bush), and take care of your buddies as you (Obama) wreck the nation into the disarray that will bring about this “change” everyone thought they were voting for.

I agree wholeheartedly ... But how pathetique is it that I cannot sit here and rattle off more real conservative senatorial members? Is it because they are so few, or sotimid? I can quicly give you a rundown on 25 dirtbag moderates .... that scares me. Numerically that doesn’t leave too many left. (well lol it leaves a lot out left, but you know what I mean)

Yes, thank you for bringing me back .. sessions is one of the few that are keepers.
