Just read up on FDR and you will know what the messiah has planned. FDR used gov’t contracts to reward friends and punish congressional districts and mayors who opposed him. It was blatant vote buying, some of the newly hired for Federal gov’t jobs were required to contribute a portion of their wages to FDR’s campaign funds. Totally corrupt, and totally ignored by MSM and liberal historians.
Patronage? Where would a Chicago politician ever come up with an idea for patronage?
What’s so secret about it?
Big surprise. Doubt it will be secret for very long. What the Obama administration means by “transparency” is unpunished corruption for all to see.
Isn’t this exactly what Rush Limbaugh said would happen. The bill gets passed and the Democrats will own people. They will have control for a very long time because people will have government jobs, and welfare, and free food and free gas and why would someone vote for a candidate who believes in fiscal responsibility when you have a party that believes in giving you free stuff. The Fiscal Responsible candidate will never have any shot of winning. This is the ultimate screw job but we all knew it was coming
You better buy it fast! Ammo is getting in short supply in some places.
I can barely talk to my own sister these days without feeling this seething anger at her for voting for this Marxist clown. She keeps asking in this airheaded way: ‘Are you angry with me about something?” LOL...I got news for her though..when it all hits the fan...she better not come to me asking for a ‘bailout’ or a place to stay! She called the other day with some sob story about money but she never came out and asked for any. I think she knows it’s a no go. She can call Obama as far as I am concerned. ARGGGG.....lol
The people in the big cities will be hurt more than anyone when it all hits the fan. It’s not going to be pretty. They have no idea how to survive and no land to do it on.
“The end of the two party system, indeed, but the Republicans gave it away. If they had stuck to conservative ideals and Reaganomics and had not abandoned these principles the Democrats couldn’t have stepped in and taken advantage.”
QFT!!!!
Once the Fed goes bankrupt and can not dictate to the States, they will have to take care of themselves. Maybe develop their own money if the dollar becomes worthless. Tell the EPA to buzz off..All kine good stuff.
“The people in the big cities will be hurt more than anyone when it all hits the fan.”
That’s why the “end of the world” movies are always filmed in NEW YORK, LOL!
You shouldn't be, there a lot of liberals posting here.
I have the same feeling. Sooner rather than later, the people will just not stand for it any longer.
Patronage IS the Chicago Way.....AKA “Pay to Play”.
You expressed it very well. It would be scary indeed to live where we couldn’t have a garden, a woodstove, our own well, plenty of woods to cut wood off, a river to fish from, oil lamps and candles for light, places to store food. I don’t know what the city slickers are going to do if the going gets really tough. I’d hate to think I had to depend totally on Obama and his cronies.
...and then what???
FIGHT, OR LOSE IT ALL, AMERICA.
The time is NOW! Not next week. Not next month. NOT WHEN IT GETS “BAD ENOUGH”. “BAD ENOUGH” to you bunch of sleepwalkers IS TOO TOO LATE!!!
How do you suggest we "fight"?
I'm ready and willing. I just don't know what to do at this point.
...and don't suggest writing to my reps. I have Durbin and Burris as reps where I live.
“what the hey is a ‘Patronage system?’”
Think Tammany Hall II and Barack Boss Tweed
We are in a big city in Texas now, but own property in the Mississippi delta, so we at least know where to go and what to do if it gets really bad. We are fortunate. My grandmother used to talk about the Great Depression all the time.
We are nowhere near that now however and it is criminal for Obama and the dems to be scaring everyone(and the markets) just so they can cement their own power and nationalize every industry for their marxist plans.
The man is dangerous.
I’m sorry, I don’t know what that means?
How do you suggest we “fight”?
Right now, we need to assemble—lots of us—to fight this “stimulus” bill that is more about continued power for the left than it is about the economy.
Jim Robinson has organized a protest in DC—that’s exactly what we all should be doing.
We should be organizing these events in EVERY STATE.
People need to attend and show the left that we mean to fight.
That’s my suggestion, for what it’s worth.
