I agree 100%. We had, prior to the current government, the worst growth in government when the GOP was in charge.

Why resist the statists?

Because the alternative is unappealing to me.

If we do nothing, all you say will come to pass. Thus, we must fight.

Follow Churchill's example: "Never give in. Never give in. Never. Never. Never."

Gen X and I am right there with you.

I see the massive arrogance and it makes me realize that they know there is nothing we can do about it. The elected officials are so over the top, you’d think it was a Tarantino movie.

I’m trying to fight the hopeless feeling.

At least go down fighting. That says more about yourself, your generation, and your own perseverance and spirit than whatever state you believe previous generations left your country in before you came on the scene.

Did you not notice your author’s problem with capitalization?

I did not read much of it, but I noticed that. Also, there was at least one misspelling (”loose” for “lose”), I would guess that many more words were not correctly spelled.

I would be ashamed to be associated with such writing.

Americans demand more from their talk show hosts than they do the politicians that were elected to represent them.

Their ‘representatives’ leave them twisting in the wind but the sheep just can’t wait to vote for them again in 2010.

As if more of the same will fix something.

It’s insane.

I’m seriously beginning to wonder if they all aren’t in on a plan to damage this country, and her people’s confidence, enough to raise up a one world government. I used to think that idea was nuts, but lately the pieces don’t fit any other way.

I certainly cannot apply traditional American logic to their behavior and believe they are trying to make us stronger.

The right still believes the government cares about what they do. They believe in good manners and the ‘high road’ above all else, including offering resistance to their would-be masters.

Those in power don’t care about their little “Tea Parties”. They wouldn’t care if ten million people showed up for a little family picnic on the mall.

If the right won’t wake up and see that both sides are working against them and fight back, then it will end horribly.

The left is attacking and the right is standing aside to allow them full access to the fundamentals of our system.

You don’t believe that Republican lawmakers are really fighting this do you?

They’re busy voting for the ‘rebuking’ of one of their own for daring to tell the truth publicly. Then they ban the best words/phrases that a rational human could use to define them—all in broad daylight.

They are 100% complicitous.

The sheep are taking their medicine and behaving themselves today. How wonderful for the Republic.

"They will side with us" - another term i have to really laugh at. While a percentage of cops and even military would refuse 'unconstitutional orders' such as gun confiscations, where was the refusal post katrina? ethics or a paycheck? that's what it's come down to in this nation. Would a 'civil servant' really want to disrupt his/her livelihood for the sake of some sheepish citizens? Probably not. Depending on how you look at it - much of what "law enforcement" does is enforce unconstitutional laws.... eh, it's a job.

You are exactly right. I think a great many Freepers are fooling themselves on this point. Lieutenant Calley's men gunned down women and kids without much arm-twisting, after all, and let's remember that the military was involved in Waco, too. If a solider is told by his legitimate commander that Freeper A is a terrorist, that soldier is probably going to shoot Freeper A instead of asking questions, especially if the soldier is one color/belief and the Freeper is of another color/belief.

And let's say that a WMD attack happens that kills a lot of people, and all the TV news stations say it was carried out by a radical Christian or right-wing terrorist organization. Do you really think the powers that be won't send the military after us? After Pearl Harbor, they marched Americans of Japanese ethnicity into camps and no one cared. If a modern-day "Pearl Harbor" were to happen, and if the media said that right-wingers or Jesus Freaks were behind it, do you think anyone would care if they did the same to us?

There's no use trying to fix the system. Representative government simply will not work for long. The current world system is going to crash and no one can stop it. Our goal is to stay alive through the Big Crash and preserve a spark of Western Civilization. Later, when traditional forms of government reassert themselves, that spark of civilization will be needed.

My formative years were in the 70’s, I remember feeling the same way. The news everynight was about the end of America as a power. The economy would never come back and by the year 2000, we would be out of oil and freezing in the new ice age.

While the author, a very unhappy person for the most part, is “ranting”, can I add one of my own?

There is no “Gen Y”!

Generation X was so designated because it was the 10th generation from the founding of the country. X, as in the Roman numeral for 10.

The next generation would then be generation XI.

Can we retire this “generation whatever” meme now? :)

Rant off.

Sir or Madam, although poorly composed I do believe this is an honest delineation of your own thoughts and concerns (as well as mine), for as a college teacher I do indeed hear similar lament from the younger set, which is encouraging,

but a couple suggestions:

one, try to define for yourself what conservatism is, for only then can one tie together the tragic and corrupt actions of the current politically arrogant,

and two, once understood, work on expressing it in a proper and cogent manner so that all can see it.

I'm about a decade before you, but I completely agree.

The world has been ending for a long time, lol.

And it may. At least as we know it. But it seems to me that there is a great deal of “engagement” by people of all ages.

The original post expresses the helpless feelings felt by most at some time in their lives. Especially today.

Well, I'm too old to run...so I guess it's time to stand and fight. I sure would love to see our young people make a stand to regain the greatness of this country. To regain the ethics of prior times. The burden will ultimately rest on their shoulders. We can stand with them.

This country and the people in it are worth saving. I refuse to go down without a fight. IF..that happens..it will be with all flags flying.

Dramatic much?

If you would open your eyes instead of squinting at the small print online you would realize that WE ARE WINNING THIS WAR.

Videotaped, unabashed TRUTH of how the system really works is going to bring the Progressives down. White, black, Hispanic, I don’t care what color your skin is, when you saw the Acorn videos the only thought in your head was “That’s messed up”.

The sheeple were supposed to think Community Organization was a calling every bit as important as the priesthood. They don’t any more.

Sheeple were supposed to think they were racists for opposing the view of someone of a different race. They don’t anymore.

Sheeple were supposed to think Unions were for the little guy. They don’t anymore.

Sheeple were supposed to think Obama was so charismatic he could blind you with his charms. What do those surrounding him do? They put him in the spotlight every minute of the day until Americans grew weary of him.

I could go on forever but you get the point. The people running the show don’t think like average Americans, they think like people trying to fool the average American. They can’t. They’ve misjudged everything they’ve tried because they don’t understand their “enemy” and it will be their downfall.

Think about it. The “most transparent Administration in history” is really just that. Transparent.

Thank God.
