The American people may be waking up, slowly. Unfortunately, maybe too slowly.
It cannot wake up. There are too many on the Dole-Nation, and they are cognizant enough to accept a bribe from the Democratic Party to live for free and that others will pay.
It is summed up by a comment from Bill Maher, who said and I paraphrase: that the tea party people are too stupid and would rather live in poverty and protect the rich rather than vote their economic interest by taking money from them in higher taxes. That’s how Dems think, - us against them and we have to take what they got. Their whole party’s existence can be strained down to a group of jealous people who take things that do not really belong to them. When four people in the room vote to take the wealth of the fifth, it is not Democracy, that is the rule of the mob.
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” Alexis de Tocqueville
What Maher doesn’t understand is that the Tea Party are smarter than he is, and they realize than everyone will be impoverished by the unchecked leftist confiscation of private property - that when the wealthy investors are decimated, the entire nation will be diminished and all will have less. Return to the Soviet Union, obviously Obama would like to, and every class warrior would like to as well - and see what they wrought. Extreme poverty, survival by vodka, use of the police state to crush political dissent, a yes-man press, an environmental catastrophe that destroyed their towns and villages and water supply, Chernobyl, and abortion as the main form of contraception. Oppression, hopelessness, atheism, silence and a shrinking nation - as very few saw a future in raising a family. They are still reeling from it - and I see these nightmare problems coming to America under the rule of Obama-Holder. Our media cannot be trusted and have become little more than toad-eating yes-men for the most secretive Administration in history. The IRS and police apparatus have attacked political opponents of the Administration, committed crimes doing it by destroying evidence and the DOJ under Holder does nothing. There is no one sticking up for America, a once great nation, now descending into agnosticism, environmental paganism, bureaucratic sclerotic enlargement, attack of private citizens by a hideous coordination of leftist press elements and the Justice Department, they are lying with impunity, lying without the adjudication of a free press, lying to hide their own failures, lying to hide their lies, standing over the dead bodies of our fallen heroes and lying to their mothers’ faces, so they can protect themselves politically.
These are bad times.
