It’s like a French battlefield around here lately, with all the white flags being waved.
Sorry. I don't play pretend.
-- Patrick Henry, Give me liberty or give me death speech"Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it."
Yet, true is true. The SCOTUS has completely eliminated any semblance of Federal restraint. Now we must hope that every election goes our way, because one bad election, and IT'S ON.
I don't know about that, but those who love America as set forth in the Constitution are being forced to engage in politics by other means.
For my taste, the friggin battle/war is not won until every goddam leechin Democrat on EBT, EITC, AFDC, SCHIP, SNAP, Section 8, WICs, and all the rest HAS A GODDAM REAL JOB! (and actually pays some taxes for once in their life).
Betryal does that to people.
Not so sure it's white flags vs. red flags - some are grasping at straws to find an upside, but the awakening of the People is only useful if they take appropriate action. November will be the puddin of proof and hopefully some Governors will step headlong into the fray and serve as rallying points for Tea Party Conservatives to gather round.
We have to secede.
