Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?
Investors Business Daily ^ | -7/30/2010 | ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN AND GARY A ROBBINS

Posted on 07/30/2010 6:30:41 PM PDT by reader25

The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.

People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?"

Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.

Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There's no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do.

I am hearing more and more people say, “Bring it!” People are sick of all the bs.

People are sick of working and carrying the parasites of society.

They’re sick of union thugs being shown favoritism.

They’re sick of of all the immoral crap being rammed down our throats.

They’re sick of the federal government telling us we’re now going to be paying for abortions.

They’re sick of all the political correctness.

They’re sick of our government being robbed.

They’re sick of future generations being robbed.

They’re sick of the government waste.

They’re sick of idiots running and ruining this nation.

They’re saying bring it!

IMHO, we are approaching the point of no return. We are on the verge of to take pretty drastic measures to snatch back our country, or we're going to lose it.

I can honestly say that growing up in the rural South in the mid-50’s I never thought I would see America in the position it is today.

Frankly I'm happy to be in the twilight years of my life here. I know it sounds like a cop out, but I don't know that I would have what it takes to handle what life in America will be in a few short years if we don't do something and do it now.

I'm perfectly willing to let our elective process take care of the situation, but I really do think this coming Nov. will be our last chance to start the U-turn. I know I've felt that way in previous election years, but there just seems to be an urgency this time that I've never felt in the past.

Usually America takes care of its Rogue Presidents by using elections to control the damage. Hopefully that happens in NOV. If it doesn’t then of course we are doomed an inevitably it may take a revolution to recover.

Well said, I couldn’t agree more. We’re sick of it at all levels of government. Public servants are a thing of the past. It’s all about how they can stuff their pockets with our money. Screw them.

The Civil War/War Between The States was much bloodier. The Left forgets that most veterans and sportsmen fall on this side of the divide. LaRaza/Black Panthers/ACORN are as nothing compared to our unorganized army.

“Opinion polls suggest that in the November mid-term elections, voters will replace the present Democratic majority in Congress with opposition Republicans — but that will not necessarily stop Obama.”

Obama is only the “visible head of the snake” that must be stopped. Cutting the heads off the Communists in Congress is a good start, but we must remember that none of them would be there in the first place were it not for the collusion of the media.

Anyone with a ounce of intelligence instinctively knows that the media howls incessantly against Republicans and goes into sheer lunacy in opposition to conservatives, while covering up every sort of despicable behavior for their chosen DemonRAT socialists.

It's time to expose and destroy these operatives and their foreign puppet masters.

But don’t you think there’s more to Obama and Pelosi? To me, they’re crooks, and already have stolen the election somehow.

The military would be on the side of those that are sick of the bs too. They’re not going to attack the American people .... they’ll remove the president before doing that.

You seem to be assuming that Chavez, et al, will not be handing men, materiel, training and treasure to the "progressive" side... and that the 12 million Mexicans in Cuidad Juarez, Tijuana, Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros, and the other border towns will stay on their side of the border.

Sportsmen tend to play fair. Progressive revolutionaries od not.

They’ll be on the side of those who promise them the most loot. Look at history.

I pray it does.

Our founders were right.

With national sovereignty ( now 100% open borders) a thing of past, violence is the only answer.

I am sure my quote makes an ADL, Daily Kos and DNC report.
