I'm sure I am not alone in wondering how anyone who lives his or her life in this cultural and economic depressing environment, has any doubt about who's policies have exacerbated the problem, and not improved them..
That really is the rub.. Those who live their lives in relative comfort with a good job, paying their bills, and minding their own business, view the intrusive Obama regime as an utter failure..
On the other hand, if it has never been your priority to strive to become something more in your life than a victim of some/any/all, circumstances beyond your perceived control, you look for something or someone to become an arbiter, to level the play field..
These are the results that can only be laid at the feet of an entitlement mentality, slowly but persistently indoctrinated into the cultural, educational, and politically motives of the far left and their allies..
To reverse this mentality will take as long as it has to instill it, but it must begin as soon as possible.. The solutions as obvious as they are, are not as easy to dismantle as one would hope..
Many people who are part of the corrupt structures are unaware, or unwilling to admit to their participation in the problem, because of self interest, or unwillingness to face the consequences.. Tax thee, not me.. Blame he, but not she.. It's them not we..
The truth, (at this point take a deep breath) is that we are all going to have to look deep into how much we are all part of the structural demise that we are involved.. Think Medicare, Social Security, Education, Taxation, Regulation, Lifestyle, etc..
How many day to day activities have we grown to accept as natural, and how are we going to have to change our own lives? I fear it has become endemic, in our nature, and if we are ever going to change, it will take a massive change that will affect all of us for generations..
Facing the results of the dismantling, and how to deal with ALL of the ramifications, is daunting, maybe more than we thought, or are really ready to change it..
You heard it here first folks.. :)
Spell checker. That’s the proper spelling/presentation of the Company - it’s in caps. Same for SIG, I think...
I can usually, with persistence, keep “backing out” of a spelling like that. NEVER yours.
Never.

Wait, what?

Shoot, I’d have probably forgotten before bedtime!!!
Yeah, Jim will remind us. He’s good that way...
The first time I can recall being aware of encroaching communism was shortly after the left wing media managed to excoriate Senator Joseph McCarthy..
Once the great Senator was degraded, the commie forces started stirring up the Civil Rights movements.. Most of the country, contrary to the rewritten history mantra, agreed to the lowering of the rhetoric surrounding voters rights, accommodations, and education..
What started the uproar was School integration using forced busing.. Every state and municipality that exploded was solid Democrat.. It was surmised, that the whole episode with marches and riots was Communist inspired, and was later proven to have been so..
I grew up working on riverboats and when we would get a trip up the Tennessee River we went right through the Shiloh battleground area. It was the most beautiful country I had ever seen and I will never forget the colors in the Autumn!
If there really is such a thing as ghosts they are surely riding around in those hills.
If we must sacrifice in order to save our wonderful and unique country from financial disaster then I am willing to do my part. I would forgo Medicare in the interest of saving my country. HOWEVER, unhappily we have become so corrupt with carpetbagger politicians that I fear that I will be forced to pay for Medicare / Obamacare yet receive NO benefits.
In fact, I think it is almost certain to turn out that way. Our government has turned from a 'servant of the people' into a dictatorial oligarchy. These corrupt b**tards will try to force me to pay for medical care for others while telling me that they cannot afford to give me care.
When that happens, I would rather go to federal prison [where they will have to take care of me] for non-compliance than be plundered by these rotten folk who now run our country.
Let's face it: King George never treated us this badly!!!
