Vanity: Have We Reached the Point of No Return in Politics?

The zombie communist politicians will NEVER peacefully relinquish their grip on power via government spending. The past few weeks make that abundantly clear. We will need a landslide election in 2012 with margins so large that it can’t be stolen without being blatantly obvious. And if they do try to cheat, then CW2 starts.

[muddler]

Yes we have.

If the country DOES split, we need to try to ensure that it splits as close as possible along county lines and not state lines. There are too many states like Vermont and Maryland which are basically perfectly normal red states other than for one or two counties and it’s those one or two counties where all the vote manufacturing takes place.

Actually, all we would have to do is count only producers when assigning representation. If you don’t work, you don’t count. There would be an additional requirement when applying for government welfare – you will not be allowed to vote in any year you collected any part of your total household budget from government welfare. Violating this requirement would result in the revocation of your voting rights (just like felons cannot own guns, wefare cheats cannot vote).

I expect them to bring in the EU, Chinese, Cubans and UN troops when TSHTF.

I would say that the Iron Law of Bureaucracy is what is killing the country. It is a lot more understandable than your reference, but somewhat close in idea.

Even at only III%, we'd still have them outnumbered.

Yeah it is over. Even for me in 08 it was easier to know the enemies. Now I am know the country is gone when Allen West attacks the tea party on Laura Ingraham’s show. And that the tea party has idiots within the movement who think Ron Paul or people like him are god and they won’t accept anybody else they don’t approve of. Likewise we could have major fight if Palin or Perry step into the race for president and try to steal Bachmann and Cain voters. Last thing I want is a bigger split between all the conservatives against Obama. It is these things that keep me worried.

In his book, Systemantics, the way systems act up, John Gall has an axiom that states, all systems eventually grow to the point where they oppose their own proper function. If it is the proper function of the federal government to promote life, liberty, and general wellfare of the people, I'd say a good case can be made for this system having reached that point.

What is really needed is a drastic pruning of the federal government, as in total elimination of half the agencies, along with their functions, and cancellation of the legislation and regulations associated with them.

[Psalm 144]

Very cogent points you make.

[FreedomPoster]

Bingo. That is a big part of what is killing business and business formation. Just getting to sane finances isn’t enough.

[Psalm 144]

The Army is on our side when faced with hurting their own grandfathers, grandmothers, mothers, fathers, brother and sisters. The gun will be pointed the right way.

Should it come to that point our military and law enforcement agencies would splinter as they did in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Socially and politically, the Spanish Civil War and the politics leading up to it have MANY parallels with our current discord and probable dissolution.

[Gaffer]

When one side so despises unborn souls in deference of a ‘voting’ mother’s misguided selfishness while demanding acceptance and outright preference for aberrant behavior by ‘voting’ deviants, is it ‘over?’

When one side so covets power and control that they are willing to condemn future generations to third or fourth-world existence, is it ‘over?’

When one side so desires diversity that it is willing to put a man-child, so totally inept and incompetent, in command of our futures, is it ‘over?’

I could go on, but you get the picture. It was officially ‘over’ on Immaculation Day - the only event that is coming is total chaos.

[b4its2late]

Agreed. We started turning it in November 2010. But O’s spinning the darn wheel the other way, till 2012!

BUMP

And lets not forget Obamacare

it's too late to change 'em, but too soon to shoot the bastards

@ Post 23.

“I view the Norwegian and Arizona shootings in a different light. Yes what the perps did was wrong and they were nuts but overall, they are also like canaries in a coal mine, like the first indicator that something is very, very wrong. “

I have been thinking about how all revolutionary change has to begin with martyrs. Some of these people have felt alone in their feelings and have been alienated so much that they snap and end up as the martyr.

I worry that the loss of liberties and the fall from our Constitution will bring more and more people to feel this alienation. Has anyone seen the threads about that fellow that set himself on fire? I wouldn’t go to that extent but I really felt for him when I read his suicide note.

What do you think will be the turning-point for the nation when we give up on the GOP and decide to make the changes ourselves?

I’m a newbie here myself and I can tell you all that it’s is good to know I’m not the only person worried about CWII. I wondered if it was “just me” for some time.

[tomkat]

amen

@ Post 55. I’m guilty of some of that pessimism. It didn’t appear like a Tea Party victory, it just seemed that way because we took one step forward without having to take the obligatory two steps backwards. Just one man’s opinion.
