Read, please, and pass on.
Thank goodness Leviathan could never plan to put the chains on slowly and quietly, increment by increment.
'Cuz then we'd have to either:
a) submit, or
b) think and speak more candidly about reality in 21st-century USA.
And even more distressingly, maybe actually
c) do something besides spank a keyboard.
Ya know?
I vote for c.
ReplyDeleteCertain kinetic subsets thereof.
Not only is spanking a keyboard fruitless, the freshman Republicans have just shown us that voting is worthless as well. Instead of remaining firm and voting against the continuing resolution, they folded and voted in favor of it.
ReplyDeleteElected to stop the spending and reduce the size of government, the Tea Party has failed us. The ballot box is useless, and the jury box is being ignored. That leaves only one box left.
"What if there is no SHTF? What if everything just stagnates where we are now?"
ReplyDeleteCentral planning never works well. What always happens to the peaceful civilian population who gets rounded up and put into collective farms/gulags/refugee camps/POW camps "for their own good"? They starve.
Government is not a magic source of wealth. When a good chunk of the former middle class is in regulatory jail and prevented from working and producing efficiently, what other people are going to be putting in overtime at the farm to feed them? Few.
If the aggressive liberals choose to round up the passive liberals, wave goodbye and stay out of the way. Both government and its support base will soon be shrinking.
I think much of the leadership of the overall Patriot Movement has been deluded, coopted or are plants and that's why we've been spun about in so many fruitless directions, if not in circles or into brick walls.
ReplyDeleteI mean, how many things have been presented to us that demanded a focus on national and global stages-where we as individuals and tiny widely dispersed groups have no effect?
How long has rooting for Ross Perot, Ron Paul, cursing the feds for Waco, NAFTA/GATT, 9/11-how long have we done this? How much effect have we had?
We get spun about by the latest travesty yet the tyranny keeps coming at us-largely from threats we can handle if we can get our collective shit together.
I feel another article coming...
