From DrewM at Ace of Spades HQ, What Does Let It Burn Mean? (h/t Hot Air), :
As one of the first, if not the first, people to say Let It Burn, I’m clearly thrilled with the growing chorus of voices joining the movement.
Like any movement, there are true believers and Let It Burn In Name Only (LIBINO) types. Since it’s never too early to purge a movement of its impure elements, let us lay out some key principles of Let It Burn….
“Let It Burn” is about inaction. There’s no point in trying do anything that avoids going over the fiscal cliff/sequestration. Remember, the deal that got us to this point was agreed to by House Republicans, Senate Democrats and signed by Obama. That’s as bi-partisan as it gets. I’ve heard from squishy low information voters, Obama and the media that “bi-partisan problem solving” is the Holy Grail of politics. Well, here it is.
Will it lead to massive disruptions? Yes. That’s the point. The current system is rigged against conservative. We should play no part in its perpetuation. If you can’t win the game, concede and start new one. That’s the heart of Let It Burn.
This isn’t some petty “I lost so I’m taking my ball and going home” tirade. This is what people want. It’s simply not sustainable. If we can’t stop them, we don’t have to continue to enable them either….
Let It Burn isn’t an option, it’s an eventuality. The questions are will we be complicit in it any longer and do we want to delay it? I say no. Let the liberals own it. Very few things are made better by delaying the day of inevitable reckoning.
The sooner it burns, the sooner we can try and rebuild.

Fire is both a destroyer and a lifegiver. When the grasslands are set aflame by a lightning bolt or a careless cigarette butt, the end result is a barren but fertile stretch of land. Fire burns and fertilizes the Earth, thus giving birth to fertility after the fact.
Let it burn. Light a cigar by the flames! When the fires die down, stake your claim, plant your conservative saplings, and watch them grow strong.
Wisdom; If you can’t win the game, concede and start new one.
Actually I have a better way to call their bluff. It calls for the following:
Tell the American people that if this is the government that they want, this is the government that they, not future generations, will pay for.
Freeze the Debt Ceiling and repeal the government’s borrowing authority.
Adopt the Dem’s paygo stance, but with no loopholes for any spending. Any and all spending MUST be paid for when it occurs through higher taxes on those now paying and new taxes for those who now don’t.
Repeal all deductions on taxes.
Any benefits be it from work or government transfer is now to be considered taxable income.
Standardize all government pay scales to that of the military and end to right to public sector unions for any one getting a paycheck funded by taxpayers. If that low pay is good enough for some one who willingly risks his/her life for their country it’s damn well good enough for beaurocrats, teachers, firemen, and cops.
End enrollment for all social programs.
Once that’s done, hope and pray the American people realize we can’t go on making promises we can’t pay for. I figure it shouldn’t take the 53% now paying the bills taxwise but one paycheck to say not no, but hell no to the increases needed to cover the spending and the remaining 47% just a mention of chipping in to pay for their goodies to come to the realization they are going to have to start helping themselves now.
A previous posting based off of this idea.
I am so pissed off!!! They want their Socialism, let’s give them it, and give them it so much they choke on the damned stuff!
Time to accelerate the Inevitable Decline and pin the blame exactly where it belongs.... Liberalism/collectivism/communism/socialism...
If the dead can vote...
If the Dead can vote then the dead gotta be able to eat and do many other things that a normal person can do, well except hold a job and be a productive member of society.
The Dead Gotta Eat...
It just occurred to me, all those dead voters need to eat too, I mean if you are dead and you just spent a long election season voting several times for your favorite democrat president, the food stamp president and you get bupkiss for your your vote, well nuts to that, why not sign your corpse-y self up for some government cheese? I mean if dead people gotta vote, dead people gotta eat too?
If Obama is gonna double down in his second term, why not double down on his food stamp numbers by making sure that his favorite voting block is asking “what can government do for me”....
So grab a shovel and a piece of paper and pencil and an acorn clipboard and head down to the local cemetery to sign up the dead tired, starving to death, and those who are just dying to get a good meal or two...
The dead gotta eat, and voting is hungry work.... Starve the beast by feeding the dead...
The Dead Gotta Read...
You gotta be able to read to vote and the dead are no exception. I would suspect that the dead read things like the New Your Slimes, Washington Compost, Mother Bones, and the Rolling GraveStones... So every single magazine subscription card you get need not be thrown away, instead fill it out with name of the dead voter and the address of their residence which would be the cemetery. The dead have got to be able to read all the liberal crap magazines because after all they vote Democrat Every Single Time....
The dead gotta read, cause you gotta read to vote... Starve the liberal MSM media beast...
The Dead need a Phone...
Besides Voting the dead gotta be able to take phone calls, how else are they supposed to respond to pollsters asking them which way they will vote. It is so very hard to get a landline installed at your grave-site these days but there is a solution, the magical Obamaphone is just the thing. Sign up all these poor “Living Impaired - Americans” to an Obama Phone or two, heck they may need more phones as after the batteries run out in their first phone they can’t recharge them, I haven’t seen too many electrical sockets in graveyards.
The Dead gotta be Polled... Starve the Beast by Picking up the Courtesy phone...
Many may think this is humor but it is not supposed to be funny, and many here have talked about “Going Galt”....
To heck with “going Galt” it is too slow, instead of going just over their heads by going Galt and refusing to be a maker, Go WAY OVER THEIR HEADS and “Poll Vault” by becoming a SUPER TAKER, or an “Under Maker” and sign up the dead to as many social programs and government freebies as undead-humanly possible.
If it is good enough for an election system that the UN observers from crap-hole countries are surprised about how insecure it is. But the left cries “voter suppression” like a stuck pig when a simple fraud prevention measure like photo ID is required by a state, then why the hell should the welfare state and the apparatus that supports it be any different.
When you are fighting against people who’s playbook is dedicated to satan (rules for radicals), you have to start using the playbook written by cuthulu!
Trying to play Mr. Rogers doesn’t work when the Civil Society has been destroyed by the “Great Society”, it is time to play Mr. Machiavelli.
To hell with Civil Disobedience, it is past that now, it is now time for Economic Disobedience, and Social Program Disobedience.
They want Communism, Maybe we should give them so much damned communism they choke on the damn stuff by collapsing the socialist systems they have “frog boiled” us into taking. We MUST shove that communism they love so DAMNED MUCH so DAMNED far down their DAMNED throats that they will still be crapping out hammers and sickles after they become the “Voting Dead” because they will be ANYWAY.
But is must be done SOON, because once they take away certain parts or all of amendments 1-10, the quick reset option will not be possible, just misery and Soviet style decline.
