I’ll be plain, there IS NO solution to the consequences we are going to reap by what has been foisted upon us. Consequences for various tyrannies and aberrations that we have accepted and accommodated as a culture. ESPECIALLY by voting institutionally in whom the Ruling Class have taken over and established as a shell game to keep We The People complacent and fooled into thinking we have any real choice at all.

To persuade people to vote for the weak nominee in the GOP post-Reagan, I used to use the analogy of being in an alley and confronted by three thugs who sought to rob you. I suggested taking out the biggest and nearest threat to you being of primacy if you wanted to survive the mugging and fight another day as an argument to vote for Bush I, Dole, Bush II and McCain.

The fruits are self-evident that such an argument was anathema to principle and incorrect, same as applying the same analogy to getting rid of the threat of Obama.

The deal is, we are not dealing with random thugs - we’re dealing with a gang that has taken over the Alley. Aldermen in the party convince us that they have the guy to clean up the alley - except the guy is part of the gang and chosen by the gang’s leadership to ensure that their grip on power, remains. The unspoken fact is everyone knows he reps the gang, but they are willing to go along with it because they like the illusion of having a choice.

The truth is, to avoid being killed by the thugs in the alley - don’t be in the alley, and you don’t play by the gang’s rules.

Thinking your vote for Romney will stop Obama and what he has already done and will do, is as wasted a hope and folly as it was when Dickerson and the Quakers insisted that prostrating before the king and parliament again and again was going to change the tyranny they were being subjected to.

The difference is that our Founders understood exactly where they were in time and that playing the game the king and parliament continued to foist upon them was nothing more than calling their chains, jewelry.

The plan at the time, was to cease playing the game that the Crown made the rules for.

They refused to comply.

They resisted.

And when the Crown made their last mistake and came against them by force - the plan was - to resist and probably die trying to throw off the evils upon which they had grown accustomed and were no longer will willing to suffer in the effort to secure new guards for their liberties.

I reflect on what John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail regarding the fact that “liberty lost, is lost forever”. We may be at a time when it is no longer about many of the liberties we have already lost - it may be about saving our very lives before even that right is taken from us.

Voting for the gang’s chosen nominee is choosing to take a walk in their alley and pretending it’s going to make a difference.

They do not call it a machine for nothing.

Well said. I don't think I can improve on your analysis. Voting for Romney and Republicans in general will not change anything and make no mistake they won't change much of anything.
If the Republicans got control they would not repeal Obamacare or anything else that has happened.
The House could have shown something when all those Tea Party types were elected but as you have opined the same old gang called the shots and nothing was done on the Debt and Deficit.

Thanks for your honesty.

Now, which gang do you want to face? I believe that every day more Americans are waking to the disaster we face and most of those do not believe Romney is the solution, a savior, or even a conservative. They see him as a way to get rid of Obama and buy time to continue the awakening and putting an end to the most anti America regime in history.

Whatever Romney is, Obama is all that and more and on steroids. Allowing him to retain office will only embolden him to accelerate his agenda to destroy us.
