A humdinger from Denninger, requiring reading in full.Scorching grafs:
***
...Will we submit to the jackbooted foot of the scammers and frauds on our collective necks, both in business and in DC, until our children starve and our grandmothers, mothers and fathers are shoveled in the hole, dead and cold?
Does America still truly have the capacity, as a people, as a nation, to get angry? To demand redress of grievance? To call, support, and honor a general strike? To take up, keep and bear arms not to commit violence but to stand shoulder-to-shoulder as our Constitution recognizes as our God-given right to prevent violence against not only ourselves but our neighbors - any and all of them? To peacefully occupy The Capitol and shut it down - not to loot, pillage or destroy, but to force the cessation of all commerce in an unmistakable and singular statement: This far you have gone, and you shall take not one step further until each and every guilty man and woman is under indictment, the institutions and businesses responsible are closed, and the ill-gotten gains returned.
Do we still have what it takes to make that happen? Do we have any more Rosa Parks' in America? Any Dr. Kings?
Or is all we have left in us a descent into random lawlessness - civil unrest, or even full-scale riots where the looting and burning is not of the banks and others who have robbed America, but of the random store-owner, house or car - simply because it's there?

Read it all.
This is not a drill.
The very best I have read.
ReplyDeleteHere is a classic example of a call to arms and we all ignore it because, things really aren't that bad yet. I've been saying this exact thing for years. It's time to take Washington back from the Republicrats, then try and execute each and every one for treason and theft of the public treasury. Then go after the bankers, lobbyists and insurance companies. Could we possibly exterminate enough of the vermin that they don't try a comeback for a generation or two? Even if enough of them only get a life sentence in Leavenworth, it should get the message across that public service is not a license for theft. Most Americans don't have the heart or spine required for this. Even though so many are furious with the gov't, they don't really believe in punishing anyone, because they are only a little bit guilty of some minor infraction. I hear this from so many, including many of my own family members. Making excuses for other's bad behavior seems the norm these days. Arrest 2 or 3 and everything will go back to normal, right?
ReplyDeleteVery good.

It goes back to the "don't judge anyone" crap that has been slung at us for years. It's obvious to me what most of the people feel about this article, by the # of comments.
ReplyDeleteI believe the people are capable of standing up and not taking it anymore. How many people, I do not know but the even if they do, who will step up and be the honest politician?
