The Governing Class and the Decline of America
American Thinker ^ | November 29th, 2012 | Steve McCann

Posted on 11/29/2012 5:20:40 AM PST by Jacquerie

The United States will not reverse its descent into the abyss of financial and societal bankruptcy until the current political and governing establishment is replaced.

That will not happen until the American people, who have been deliberately ill-educated and deceived, experience first-hand the early stages of the turmoil and suffering extant in Europe and elsewhere. While professing to care for the interests of the average person the underlying motivation for the vast majority of the governing class or Establishment is first and foremost self-aggrandizement and the acquisition of wealth.

I read the whole article and it is all true. The “establishment” GOP has fed on the growth of Government as much as the Democrats have. But now we are no longer on the road to ruin, but have arrived at the parking lot. As we turn left into the entrance of oblivion, the Democrats are gleeful at the arrival at their long dreamed of critical mass of dependence. They think they are the smartest politicians in the history of the world and haven’t given a single thought as to how they will sustain this beast they have created. They seem to believe a small increase of the tax rates on the rich will pay the full bill no problem. Little do they know that they can feed the rich completely to the beast and it will not be sated in the least.
It may be time for making sure that the beast looks to the Democrats for sustainment. Give them whatever they want, but only insist that they get ALL the credit for it.

The “establishment” GOP needs to forget the way they got here, and now become the party of non-union AMERICAN workers.

Stop exporting US jobs now.

Bring them back now.

Beginning within a few weeks, and over the next four years, our rulers will come up with and execute a “plan” that will ensure democrat/marxist party domination of our once republic for generations.

California, Illinois are one party democrat hellholes. The rest of the nation is only a few years behind. The rats know what to do with power and the GOPe are more than happy to give it to them.

Same thoughts here...I just gave a brief to a church the other night about Islam and the threat of them waiting on the side lines - just like the Communists did in china during WWII - and they defeated and ran out the National govt to Taiwan...

You are right about the GOP - I think they did everything on purpose and are no better than the Demo-rats! There will be a day of reckoning - and I will be held up waiting it out...they paved that road - we didn’t do that - and they can take on the mob as they arrive yelling and screaming just like that lady did in the video...just like they all did during Katrina in New Orleans...that was a local mob — wait until it hits all the cities in the nation...

These politicians and media types think they are going to be taken care of...like Reagan said, “They thought wrong.”

Excellent and sobering article. The problem, however, is how to fix this.

Quite simply, I don’t believe we can.

The Dems have their Dependent Majority, so the vote goes to whomever hands out the best cookies. Nothing else matters. If you want to see the future of America, consider the words “austerity” and “rioting” in the same thought. Hell awaits us once we stop handing out the cookies.

The GOP has the slimmest of chances to halt the decline into barbarity, but they don’t have the balls to do a single damn thing right. They are a molecule short of useless.

That leaves us with the unpleasant alternative. Welcome to 1773. Again.
