Back in the '80s, I used to go to Washington a fair amount with friends. Sometimes I'd take a walk at night, over by the Lincoln Memorial, and look down the mall at the Washington Monument and the Capital Building, with the Supreme Court building just behind it. And I used to think:
"435 Congressmen plus 100 Senators plus 9 Supreme Court Justices plus one President... hmm. Five hundred fourty-five. Five hundred fourty-people could, if they wanted to, get together and take over the whole country, dispense with the Constitution, turn our Rule of Law upside down, and turn America into a hell on Earth."

And I would wonder: "why don't they?" What's to stop them? Nothing.

Nothing except an idea. Nothing except a concept, abstract and very difficult to measure, but everyone knows what it means. It's like the famous remark by Justice Potter Stewart about pornography: "I know it when I see it."

I mean, George Soros, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates could get together and offer every one of those 545 human beings say, $50 million each, in gold, to turn America into the ecotopia wonderland they want so much. What's to stop them from doing it? Have they done it already?

As Putin (leader of Russia) said about 2 years age
“America went Socialist ... without a whimper.”

Apparently that is also covering the complete take over and destruction of America as it has been.

NAME ONE POSITIVE THING GOOD FOR THE NATION THAT HAS OCCURRED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THERE IS A LONG LIST OF BAD AND DESTRUCTIVE THING THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

WHERE ARE OUR VOICES?

AS WE DO NOTHING. AS WE ALLOW IT.

Shut down of NASA space programs.
Loss of millions of Jobs.
Exclusion and shut down of drilling off shore, Alaska too.
Shut down of coal mines,

Setting aside of millions of acres for the government across America.

Trillions upon trillions of monies given to banks, foreign nations, wasted and set aside for who knows what.

Printing money like crazy 24 hours a day. Our dollar value falling around the world and losing about 25% of it's value.

All prices going up, especially on foods, energy, and taxes at all levels.

Getting America in other wars in Libya, etc.

Increasing the size of government by about 28%, with huge salaries.

Ordinary people are hurting.

A medicare/health bill the people do not want.

Immigration amnesty ... the people do not want.

Open borders, the people do not want.

and so on...

and what do we do ? Face book, Twitter, TV. Entertainment 24 hours a day.

Loss of face, appearing to be weak around the world.

Growth of Islamic populace entering America

Mosques Ground Zero Mosque.

AS WE SIT PASSIVELY WATCHING.
