All that matters is "free stuff". The Democrats win. Through their lies and class warfare rhetoric they have managed to create a society of parasites, thereby ensuring their positions of political priviledge. The numbers don't lie - - there are now way too many parasites, and they cannot be reasoned with, and they cannot be weaned off of "free stuff". The Democrat scumbags have absolutely no compassion or sense of honor in any of this. They will destroy traditional America and its families without a backward glance, because it is all about their selfish lust for political priviledge and power. Their careful nourishment of the parasite class is merely the means. It's quite a scheme, actually. And the nation be damned.
All the poor Republicans can do is attempt to win in districts where taxpayers substantially outnumber parasites. Maybe do a little redistricting to try to spread it around. The blue and the red.
That or simply play both sides against the middle by being "Democrat-lite".
It's over. It's just a matter of how long it takes the swirling liberal Democrat toilet to finish us off.
Sorry.
(Of course, there will eventually come a time when some people who are backed into a corner will fight back, big time. Picture Zimbabwe with a second amendment and lots of guns.)
Pow! Right in the kisser!
You nailed it. After FDR started the slide into serfdom and then 40 years of Dems controlling the House of Reps, they finally got what they wanted. The have a nation of Gimme-more's. The receivers range the entire spectrum, mega-companies, contractors, farmers, states, districts, schools, individuals, on and on. The Liberals could never win elections by ideology, ever. But they can win by buying votes. FDR initiated the machine and LBJ put a turbo on the machine.
The Repubs in DC get slammed for being Rinos yet it is a legion of piglets who clamour to suck at the government teat that defines their actions. As P.J. O'Rourke said in "Parliment of Whores", when it comes down to it, we are the whores and Congress is only following orders - sad, but true.
Alas, I vote conservative and republican to stave off the rate of government largess. I suggested ten years ago, that if the Repubs took the House, Senate and White House, that they would be more fiscally reponsible but the size of government would not change. But, more imortantly, I vote to the right for the selection of the judges. After all, it was the idiots in the Supreme Courts that allowed this mess to happen.
Unless someone or some group comes up with a magic arrow to shoot down the Leviathon, it will consume us. I hoped that the folks who were trying to demonstrate the illigitamacy of the 16th amendment would prevail. However, if they do, they will probably be ignored!
The baby boomers are going to start retiring in eight years, that great sucking sound coming from Washington will be Medicare and Social Security; beware.
