“Revolutions inevitably fail as the new regime becomes just as oppressive as what it replaced.”


While recorded history tends to prove this, at least there was a period of time when this country followed the concept of limited government as set forth by the founders.

They gave us the escape clause and it is on our shoulders to use it or lose it.

Governments are always power hungry and just as Lord Acton said; “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We have reached our absolute power point with our federal government and many state governments. There can be no dispute that the founders gave us a constitution to retain a limited government and for whatever reason we the people have allowed the government to exceed its constitutional limits.

Decades of public education have given this country millions of spineless parasites which have made generations who live off the productivity of others.

If we ended public education in its current form today it would take generations to repair the damage. We do not have generations as the Marxist communist filth are at the door, they are running the country and IMO they have pushed far enough to trigger the Jefferson escape plan.

Acton was a supporter of the South and its cause as few are today due to the incessant propaganda and ignorance of history.

“There can be no dispute that the founders gave us a constitution to retain a limited government and for whatever reason we the people have allowed the government to exceed its constitutional limits.”

They, being keen students of history and without illusions about human nature, realized that any document however lofty its sentiments, always depended upon a moral and self regulating citizenry.

That we don't have. Instead we have a population that collectively is in the grip of an infantile fantasy where they can have what they want without consequence.

Hundreds of tons of drugs are snorted, injected, swallowed, smoked and huffed by the same population that supposedly is going to govern itself. and on and on.

So why should there be a revolution when the majority have what they want?
