America's future
Tea Party Nation ^ | 12/3/12 | Judson Phillips

Posted on 12/03/2012 7:22:25 AM PST by Thad Lost

In many ways, if you want to see America’s future, all you have to do is look across the Atlantic.

Unfortunately freedom and liberty fled the United Kingdom a long time ago. Now you have the creepy welfare/big brother state that George Orwell warned us about.

True, WE find that alarming, but it seems most young voters and minorities like the presence of heavy-handed Big Government involvement in their lives. It gives them a sense of security.

And it looks like there will be no going back. The communists gifts to weak uneducated Americans will force it to continue until total upheaval unlike Europe has not yet seen. Not a rosy picture but so goes us the same way Europe is going. Some Republicans talk a great game but they have absolutely no power to really change anything and Bonehead is playing with the smoke screen. The real end game is a civil war. Hope not, but reality is in play unless we win the Senate in 2014 and replace Bonehead.

Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it’s lonely here,
there’s no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that’s an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that’s left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I’ve seen the future, brother:
it is murder.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant

You don’t know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I’m the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I’ve seen the nations rise and fall
I’ve heard their stories, heard them all
but love’s the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It’s over, it ain’t going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil’s riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder

Things are going to slide ...

There’ll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There’ll be phantoms
There’ll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You’ll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin’ to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin’

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don’t like children anyhow
I’ve seen the future, baby:
it is murder

“The Future” (Leonard Cohen)

Those who don’t have their faith and comfort in Jesus Christ, and who grew up in broken homes with no father present, do seem to like putting their faith and trust in Big Government. They think it will provide all the security and warm fuzzies they never had.

Those whose faith is in the Lord Jesus and who grew up in a stable home, and are providing for their kids a warm/stable home and happy marriage, find “Big Brother Government” more like a prison warden. (As a general rule, although there may be exceptions on both sides.)

We are transitioning from the 2nd kind of society to the first kind. Extremely sad.

Socialism has "worked" for a long time in Europe for many reasons. The population is mostly the same, Caucasian and somewhat educated. Most Euro countries maintain their borders to a degree. Racial Tribalism is at a minimum. Socialism will die in Europe at some time, but not now.

In the USA we live in a racially charged tribal society with a mostly uneducated untermensch. To make matters worse we have open borders. Socialism will not flourish here, It will morph into Communism at the worst or Civil War and secession at best.
