500 guys skeeping watch on a few in every county gets many in the county to behave. Besides, many counties are not an going to be an issue and I suspect 1,500 nonsleeping guys can do a lot of damage in a county such as mine. We have about 200,000 people, of which maybe 2,000 would be active. With air vehicles and armor that starts to make those other 1,500 on more even ground. I am not saying we the people couldn’t win the fight, we would, but it won’t be such a cakewalk as some might think. Toss in some foreign blue pots and the numbers get tricky.
Agreed that DC is the Problem.
I posted this on another thread and it speaks to the Washingtonian problem.
No solutions to problems will ever come from DC, because DC is the problem.
All each election cycle is about is which bunch of degenerate crooks, cowards, con men, and liars gets to control and redistribute the money extorted by the IRS from us chumps outside the beltway, and how much of it.
It’s plain to see what is going on in DC to anyone who has ever spent any time there, the place is perpetually flush with cash, with hundreds of thousand of Federal Apparatchiks with huge smiles on their faces walking around drawing huge salaries, plus bonuses and pensions courtesy of us dolts in the hinterland.
What has the GOP ever done when they controlled the WH and Congress that materially changed anything, or made the Federal Bureaucracy smaller?
We still have the agencies like IRS, the Department of Energy, and Education, and EPA, and to boot, they established new ones like DHS and TSA.
Anyone who tries to starve the beast is politically assassinated by propagandists from the left and right, like Gingrich was over the Government shutdown at the end of his career in Congress and again a few months ago when he tried for the nomination.
There will be nothing coming out of DC other than a bigger hand in your pocket and more limits on your freedom.
The DC problem will not be solved politically.
The FOUNDERS had no intention of establishing Universal Suffrage and DELIBERATELY did not put a right to vote in the Constitution because they knew it would lead to the collapse before us today, and make no mistake about it, when the Social Security checks stop coming, there will be a collapse.
Universal Suffrage has been enacted via Constitutional Amendments, hell, the communists are even giving illegal aliens the vote by Executive Order.
Collapse and reset are the only way out of this now, and rotating the Capital amongst the States.
There is no greater threat to the freedom and prosperity of the American Citizenry than the Federal Apparatus in Washington DC, and anyone who thinks all we have to do to change things is send the “right” people there hasn’t looked at the situation from a logical perspective at best, or at worst, is self delusional.
Electing more Republicans will solve the problem, now that’s a hoot!!
That statement has NEVER been true. Only in a very restricted set of circumstances can it even be approximately and partially true that a country “deserves” the government it has. (E.g., every country that has ever been defeated in war and been occupies by hostile forces doesn’t “deserve” that government.) The danger of elections is that while it empowers a legislative majority who may have won by a slim margin, it defuses the ability of people to counteract its actions because “they were elected”, so just “vote them out in the next election”. This is such an indirect method against true tyranny that it will never work.
