What makes you think that the Americans want a constitutional Republic?
So if we only had the right hands on the control of the government gone wild, we could step back from the abyss? I think you underestimate how hard American and many on FR will oppose your efforts.
To bring the situation under control, promises made by the government to the people will necessarily be broken. Looking at a government one tenth the size of present government may allow us to keep a few of the promises to the most destitute.
In 1950 every retiree on social security was supported by 15 active workers. By the end of 2010 there were only 3.3 workers for each retiree. The government believes there will only be two per retiree by 2025. A Wall Street Journal editorial a couple weeks ago highlighted the fact the government is facing not a $16 trillion debt but an $87 trillion debt if you take into account the unfunded liabilities of social security, Medicare and Medicaid. If you fast forward 20 years until all the boomers are retired that soars to $202 trillion according to Boston University.
Make sure you have stores and a “just the right size” garden & livestock to feed your family, and very little surplus.
Take care of your own, let the dumbmasses starve in their blue cesspools.
I think a Zimbabwe scenario is more apropos to the situation on the USA, but it is far more problematic for the urbanites. There remains a large and homogeneous population in rural USA, and they are well armed.
Agreed, but entire rural communities-not just families-will have to work together, both for sustenance and security.
If talking VA then I understand.
Yup. Fairfax Co., VA.
That our constitutional government has been overthrown is evident in that it's defenders are now viewed as barbarians at the gates, and now it is socialists/unions/LGBTs/jihadis who are the guardians of "civilization" and "freedom" according to their new twisted definitions.
They have made us out to be the barbarians. And we apologize and try to reason with propagandists that we are not barbarians, as though liars cared about the truth.
Personally, I no longer see it as a conflict of ideas or an electoral contest. I see it as a war. And the advantage in being accused unjustly, is that an insecure enemy accuses you of being that thing he's most afraid of you becoming. They accuse conservatives of being right wing fanatics, because conservatives truly becoming right wing fanatics is a liberal's worst nightmare, and we apologize and try to prove we are moderate and willing to negotiate in response. That is a mass media guilt trip and a losing strategy.
They consider us the backward, the neanderthals, the Visigoths and Vandals who want to destroy their totalitarian socialist Utopia. And we try to reason with them that we are not, or worse, submit into depressive silence under their diatribes.
I am a barbarian and a threat to your civilization? Fine. Thank you. I approve of the label, and accept the role. I AM a barbarian, and a threat to your communistic-faggotry-jihad so-called "civilization". Rather than being ashamed that you mistake me for what you fear, I embrace and devote my whole self to becoming what you fear, because I am your enemy, and you should fear me.
My income went underground years ago. This depraved emperor may not miss my few tax dollars, but it pleasures my barbarian soul that I prosper while he fails. I threw out my TV and the Hollywood media machine can grind on without my dollars for it's grease. Not long after 9-11 I stopped funding OPEC and began walking almost everywhere, the Islamic jihad may not have slowed it's atrocities, but I am stronger and healthier and more independent. I practice martial arts regularly, and the people you may think own the streets, don't own the piece I occupy when I walk by, and I change the environment to some degree with my presence. I contribute nothing to this corruption in Washington seeking to twist our minds, co-opt our freedoms and feed on our American soul like the vampiric parasites that they are. So you can add outlaw, and crazy, too, if you wish.
I don't care if what I do changes one thing outside myself. I am the one who is changed. Changing into what, I don't know, but backward and barbarian is what they call us, as if it is the worst thing in the world...and for these enemies to the "backward" America we've lost, the worst thing in their world is what I want to become. What I do may not change anything, outside of me, but it does change me, changes me like the fire and hammering of steel at a blacksmith's forge, and I leave my final shape or result to The Master, if He gives me the strength and purpose for this I leave it to Him what tool I in the end become to suit His purpose.
I embrace my inner barbarian, wild and free as a Viking setting foot on the shores of a new land. Down with a corrupt, venal, vile, liberty crushing "New Rome". God Bless a renewed America.
“I did hear from MANY people that desired a better choice between Obama and Romney.”
A better choice would be statesmen/women instead of politicians. I think they are an endangered species if not extinct. Politicians got us in this mess and more politicians or different politicians won’t get us out.
Running on a platform of ending SNAP, SS, SSI, Medicare, Medicaid and disbanding HUD, DHS, DOE, Interior department, department of Labor, Department of Education might win an election if held on Free Republic, but a citizenry that has elected President Obama as it’s leader twice?
I have a low mileage car that was only driven to church on Sundays to sell you. Zero down and 2 years the same as cash.
What a fantastic, eloquent post.
We need more newbies like you around.
