Like the chronic alcoholic, it is most likely that things will have to hit rock bottom before a change can occur. Too many people are addicted to government dependancy.
I got the strong feeling that America sealed its judgement in the 2012 election. If God doesn’t judge us, He owes Sodom and Gomorah an apology.
” - - - Too many people are addicted to government dependancy.”
Yup, and led by Spendaholic Obama.
I agree!
What's that? Voter fraud? Don't be ridiculous! There's no such thing as voter fraud in the U.S.
I bet it would cost less than the $1 billion Romney spent and have better results.
Life-cycle of Democracy - around 200 years.
We are currently in the last phase of the democratic cycle before the people are enslaved by their own government. The founding fathers knew that it would happen.
Thomas Jefferson said “...The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”
A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage
I expect things to get violent when the Checks stop and EBT cards stop working.
Something along these lines:
Fatherless America!
Scared and insecure!
Looking for Daddy!
I think that, at this point, America will just have to party until the beer is gone and go to work on Monday with a hangover.
“What we truly need is complete financial collapse, and the reset that goes with it.”
Good grief! That’s a horrible picture, exnavy. I can already see hordes of 20-year-old bums knocking on my door and asking for food. Sergeantdave has a limited number of soup cans to give out.
Sadly, I agree. But the streets will run with blood and the world will become a much more dangerous place. Whenever a world dominant power collapses the aftermath is chaos,terror and conflict. History...History...History! The power vacuum will be filled. The question is, "By who"?
Reality bites. Those hoards kicking down your door are refered to as the “golden hoard”, looking for shiney things and kicks. Please note tagline.
PC
Dependence classes
Entitlement Culture
The Welfare State
Long-term consequences of debt, SS and Medicare
Reverse discrimination
Illegal immigration/Immigration
Crime
These are some of the major issues that would concern me, not just as an American, but if a young American. Yet you nary hear the press or pols mention them. Just imagine being college age and thinking you’ll get a well paying job and live happily ever after, without thinking for a second the impact of the debt, immigation/demographics and so on.
Alot of these kids are in for a mighty rude awakening, I’m afraid. Quite frankly, they ought to be really p***** at the Xers, Boomers and what’s left of The Greatest Generation for leaving them these legacies.
[ If God doesnt judge us, He owes Sodom and Gomorah an apology. ]
We are being judged but not by God but from our own choices..
Obama is a punishment to America, for sloth and envy and moral perversion..
Its here.. Now.. deservedly so.. America deserves punishment..
75,000,000+ babies cry out from the dumpster.. for justice..
American women(and men) have become whores.. sadists and masochists..
Teotwawki~:” Too many people are addicted to government dependancy.”
IbJensen~:” Liberals have be indoctrinating our children since they first entered school that its good to live on the dole.”
Remember the ‘Good Old Days’ when education meant something ? It stood for critical thinking , and questioning authority , and evaluating ‘cause and effect’. .
Nowadays , most public schools are thinking of dropping cursive writing ~ saying that we must use and take advantage of current electronic media , computers, and other electronic devices.
Schools now teach to the lowest , dumbest denominator and hold advanced students behind until the rest of the class catches up . The bightest students get held back , and then bored , and then lose interest in further education .
The ability to communicate ideas and language is one of the principles that separates humans from the rest of the animal world .
It is the ‘dumbing-down’ of education during the early formative years that looks for information and news in 30- 45 second “sound bites” from the lamestream media ; it is the lack of critical thinking that got us our current administration ; and is the the ignorance of “cause and effect” that has led to ‘entitlements’ and our current economy ‘suicide watch’ .
>> If Republicans want revival, we need honest focus on what’s really wrong in America
Let’s start with the members of the GOP establishment. These assholes must go now!
Cheers!
Collapse the system. Get as many people on some sort of dole as possible. Their aren’t enough taxpayers to cover the cost.
I’m unemployed and benefits ran out. But I’m financially comfortable enough. So I told my wife, who works, that we are getting a divorce and then I’m going to apply for every single government aid I can get.
I live in TN and I’m still surprised at what I can get from food stamps to healthcare coverage to more unemployment, etc.
It’s disgusting. And as I sit in some bar or restaurant paying with taxpayer dollars I’m going to make sure the stupid kid waiting on me knows it’s on them.
Jaded? You bet. I’m done.
