Nope. George Bush was the Last President of the United States. Due to parasites and traitors, obama now occupies the WhiteHouse. And will continue to do so for the foreceeble future.
I glanced at the headlind and thought “why” was “was” and it was a question. But, from my point of view, the answer still stands.
Americans are already split down the middle, though the two opposing sides are only just beginning to reach the point where our differences are great enough to repel us apart. However, those differences are real, and are becoming deeper and more pronounced with time.
There may yet come an incident or event that is the straw that breaks the camel's back, but what I see at present is an accumulation of acts by our government that have alienated and angered the right. The combined weight and pressure of these assaults against the guaranteed rights and liberties of the American people have nearly become too much for many to bear.
The cherry on top, is the result of the last election, which by all reason and informed analysis, should have gone to the Republicans. The shock of that loss was so great, and the evidence of fraud so rampant, that there's now a strong impression that the Democrats have rigged the system so that we can never win a presidential election again.
In short, there's a combination and accumulation of issues and assaults that have risen to unsustainable levels of pressure against the people. Just read this website. The bad news here can literally make your head spin some days. It's unrelenting, and serious enough to break anyone's faith in the union.
Well said.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out. I remain hopeful that this country will find a way to pull together and sort out some of our many problems.
Tau, our people are now cleaved into two distinct and diametrically opposed ideologies regarding the fundamental nature of our society.
One side has become solidly indoctrinated into a leftist, statist view, and believes that, "a government by the people, of the people, and for the people", means an all-powerful, totalitarian state which has the power to take from one, and give to another.
The other side hews toward the Framers' understanding of the principles and concepts laid down in our founding documents, and wishes nothing more than to be left alone in their pursuit of liberty and happiness.
The first group can't achieve their kind of utopian world without a host body of productive citizens to prey on. Of course, they can only do that with the help of a powerful central government which wields FORCE against the productive class to steal the fruits of their honest labors.
This is the nitty gritty of the current political divide. Everything else is just filler.
As long as we've got a significant percentage of the population who feel they're entitled to our hard won earnings, and who are more than willing to empower a rogue government to engage in legalized plunder on their behalf, we're not going to fix this. At some point, the preyed-upon run out of civil options to stop the criminal behavior of their government and the parasite class. I'm almost convinced that this last election was that point.
When a law-abiding, freedom loving people run out of civil options to obtain fair treatment in their country, they find other options. It's my hope that the good people of America choose the option of fighting this evil. Whatever it takes.
Perfectly put. Your profile is also spot on. Great to exchange ideas with a kindred spirit.
You bet, J.W. That's why I love this place.
“Secession is a fantasy of those who can’t bear to face the reality of our sovietesque future ...”
And dissolution was the fate of the Soviet “union”.
Not such a fantasy now.
Whether or not actual secession ever occurs, the premise of my comments were that we are so fractured as a society now, that if (when) a significant nationwide event occurs (war, depression, terrorist attack, etc.) we’ll likely not see recovery from the trauma for generations, if at all.
Maybe everyone interested in running for president should run in the Democrat primary. That might be the way to beat them at their own game.
This isn’t a bad idea. It makes more sense than efforts to start another conservative party to replace the dying GOP, at least in national politics. If we can’t beat the Democratic Party, join it, and change it from the inside out.
Well, we know that the average Democrat voter has no intelligence so it should be fairly easy to fool them.
You forgot Hollywood actors.
