Goodbye America

By Mr. Curmudgeon:

Along a ridge at a cemetery, a stone wall marks the farthest advance of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Pickett's Charge at the battle of Gettysburg marked what historians call the high watermark of the Confederacy, the crowded moment when the war to preserve America's constitutional system would prevail or die. Lincoln's Army of the Potomac held the stone wall and stopped Lee's attempt to preserve the South's slaveocracy.

Tuesday night, America's political right and the Republican Party hit a stone wall and, like Lee's army, they will never recover. In spite of extraordinary get-out-the-vote efforts by the Tea Party and Republican activists, President Obama sailed to an easy victory over his rival Mitt Romney. Election night analysis showed that access to free contraception and abortion-on-demand were key elements explaining Obama's victory. Suburban women accomplished what King George III, the Kaiser, Hitler and Stalin failed to do - end America.

Americans - who we were told opposed ObamaCare overwhelmingly - voted to sustain the monstrosity by re-electing the president who fathered it and will shield the malformed monster as its tentacles begin unfolding in the years to come. Government-run, well, everything is here to stay.

Take the wife to that fancy restaurant for dinner and the kids to Disneyland - give them memories to cherish, because the country we know is done.

President Obama has been given the "flexibility" to do to America's nuclear deterrent what he promised his friends in Moscow ... whatever that may be. And frightened establishment Republicans in Congress will work with the President to raise the debt ceiling, spending and taxes to remain relevant and "mainstream." And the "payback," as White House adviser Valerie Jarrett warned the president's opponents, can begin in earnest.

America's Great Depression II will continue to deepen as the nation piles on more debt and the Federal Reserve prolongs its program of quantitative easing. Though you may be unemployed, with your children skipping meals, you can take comfort in media reports that detail the wonders of our "sluggish recovery."

Four years from now, it won't matter if the reincarnated Ronald Reagan replaces Obama, the nation will have passed the event horizon of insolvency, falling into an inescapable and endless black hole.

Goodbye America ... it was nice knowing you.

Well, thank you. Always liked you too. I didn't earn the right to say Semper fi back (and I'll always regret that) but I can wish the best to you and yours.

Think about what the people voted for yesterday. The DoI says...

...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, ...

When elected officials and bureaucracies act outside the law they are simply lawbreakers. When the majority of the people vote in favor of the lawlessness that has greatly manifested itself in the highest offices have they not withdrawn their consent to be governed by a constitutional government? By what legitimate basis would you say that the United States of America, as a Constitutional republic, still exists?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

'The People' no longer support that.

It would not be difficult to counter the pro commie agenda with an equally negative one. In fact it could be quite easy if we become creative.

I would love to hear that plan. The left has had control of our universities now for four or five decades. They have had control of the public schools for three or four decades. They have succeeded in convincing more than half of the electorate to vote for an outrageously lawless and extra-Constitutional government. They now have unprecedented control over every institution of the Fed. gov. with popular support to do anything they want with it legal or not.

So, what's the plan?

I agree, traditional schooling has failed our children and youth. But, everything is done online now. Music and videos, texting and emails. There is also the more traditional approach of billboards and commercials (TV and magazine) Of course some one would have to foot the bill but ail of this provides a huge opportunity for a NEW TV network, something totally different, something traditionally conservative, pro America, promoting and selling the virtues of freedom and love of Country.

Yes, these are big ideas, but not crazy ones. There are many very wealthy organizations that have lost big and are set to lose more if things go as expected. If we are going to change the me, me, me culture we have to have some good long term plans. Nothing will happen over night, but all that I listed could be in play by 2016. I believe the country is hungry for something like this, but where the heck can they find it today?

That I believe is a huge problem. They can't.

Moshe the Beadle lives.

A time is coming soon when the words “I warned you” will be the last ones a people hear before they are besieged, rounded up and sent away to their deaths.

History repeats for a reason.

People forget - and assume “it can’t happen here”.

Well said. Cowardice is the problem here on FR. But it’s also a problem across America. So many American’s are so cowardly they’re afraid to support themselves and thus tyranny has ascended in America.
The difference with those here is that they actually see it.
