Free men and women cannot co-exist with statists, looters and moochers. How long must we be at the mercy of the parasitic entitlement class and the professional political ruling class?

Whew, being conservative and black—that really brings out the libtard hatefulness.

Ask Justice Thomas.

I am thinking he may be right. Unless we see a massive change in direction over the next 2 election cycles and a shift in Washington to reduce it’s central planning powers, I don’t think we can survive as one people much longer. I also hope to see a shift, but I am concerned about the coming tipping point where 51% become pure recipients, living off the other 49%.

Disagreement is rapidly turning to hate, I don’t see that changing as things go now.

I learned today that there is no hope. Every Republican I work with thinks the tax system is fair and works just fine. There is no reason to care anymore. Even Republicans are pro big government and high taxes.

The right and constitutional answer is the enforcement of the 10th Ammendment.

States should be semiautonomous anyway. For a variety of reasons we have gotten far away from that; its time to push back. A good step one would be to insist on the return of all or nearly all federal lands to the states.

The federal government should not be in the business of owning land except for specific sites and facilities. Military base, fine. Office building, great. A hundred million acres of open land, uh, no.

All federal park lands, forest lands, monument lands, and BLM lands should be handed over to the states along with the professional staff managing them. The states can decide at that point what to do with them. As far as I am concerned, BLM lands should be privatized, sold off to the public with leaseholders getting first dibs maybe. Or maybe not.

Not a divorce. Just separate bedrooms.

Reminds me of this email that was floating around several months back:
THE DIVORCE
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but
sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is a model separation agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by
landmass each taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide
other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.

We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell (You are, however,responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three
of them).

We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations,
pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters.When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide
them security.

We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are
welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U. N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.

We’ll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.

We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem. I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We’ll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name and our flag.

Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along
to other like minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall Law Student and an
American

P. S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda
with you.

Walter Williams wrote something similar back in October 1993. He wrote in a column titled "It's time to talk of secession"

President Clinton's effort to forcibly impose socialized medicine on our nation has answered a question gnawing at me for quite some time.The question is whether we have reached a point where those of us who love liberty, private property rights, rule of law and the Constitution given to us by our founding fathers should organize to make preparations to secede from the union.

I came across that old yellow paper while cleaning out a file just a few days ago. It was in the October 20, 1993 Mobile Press Register.

Deja vu, all over again.

I believe that George F. Kennan before his death (at age 101) argued that the dissolution of the United States was desirable and inevitable. I cannot cite the specific article, perhaps his memoirs, but would appreciate it if someone can check me on this.

I have said for the longest time- going back at least as far as the Clinton plague- that I wished we could divide the nation into

1)- those who want the government to be the supplier of all their wants

and

2)- those in the "leave me the Hell alone!" category.

Unfortunately, the latter require the money, talent, and productivity of the former,

so it can never be.

I do not honestly see a solution for it, peaceful, or otherwise.

Producers, versus parasites.

The election of Øbozo



was the ascent of the latter. Aberration? Or trendline?


Not sure what to make of this- FYI, FWIW:

"...I found it fascinating how analyzing Facebook links shows how it could be done..."
