The elections weren't rigged and fraudulent. We lost fair and square. We lost because our Santa Claus wasn't as generous as their Santa Claus. It's the demographics that are killing us. Now that the "gibs me dat" class is outnumbering the hard-working productive class, the Santa with the biggest bag of "free" stuff will continue to win.
Take solace in the fact that one of these days the money is going to run out and the free ride will be over. Santa's bag will be filled with nothing more than empty promises. That's when things are going to get really interesting around this place!
Barring a disaster somewhere on the scale of a nuclear war, this government is here to stay...for the foreseeable future, anyway.
Absent an engaged electorate its only going to get worse. The ‘system’ was designed to work that way. Its not working b/c of US not them.
Most Americans are too lazy to bother.
I wonder if the South would have won the Civil War if they had solely used guerrilla warfare tactics?
Revolt is coming.
Allowing single women, illegal aliens, felons, welfare leeches, et. al. to vote IS rigging them.
That’s what I was thinking.
Black folks revolt.
Mexicans march at the drop of a hat.
White guys watch football.
I think what is happening is that as the thugs in business suits that occupy the District of Criminals continues to increase their tyranny the reaction is to flee from it, but sometimes go to court and fight over it. And as more try to avoid Fedzilla the more tyrannical they become and thus the Vicious Circle gets more obvious and dangerous.
Slowly people are begining to wake up and smell the coffee. The problems with Obamacare is one sign.
I believe that people think they have too much (material possessions and the like) to lose and are not taking inventory of the things they’ve already lost. Their priorities are not right, there’s no reason for them to fight.
“King eventually just relented rather than continue to ...try to keep control... from all those thousands of miles away.”
Excuse me! Can you say Kings Mountain? (Battle of)
Old king George’s top man got his a$% kicked here in S.C.. Then our people chased the rest of them back to Charleston..
I believe George’s troops made a deal, when they got to Charleston and found out there was no where to go.
It went something like this....
“If y’all will let us live we won’t burn the town down while we fight..
Done deal, we like Charleston so y’all can go..
Our troops up North heard about the whipping the South gave the English.
That rallied our American soldiers up North to fight and sent them all packing back to England..
English didn’t control nothing down South.
Saying and doing are far apart.
Attacking the Southern portion of America will be the next attackers down fall to..bet on it..
That was a big logistics war more than anything.

Yes, Americans would.
Wadd’s ya think “Tea Party” means?
Encourage young people to move to areas such as East Tenn (not Knoxville or probably Chattanooga) or East Texas or the region from the Dakotas to eastern Washington state. The more these areas fill up with ambitious, hard working, market oriented, family oriented straight people the better. Even the worst sort of government is much easier to bear if the population is not full of Quislings and welfare suck ups and queers.
You mean the “Tea Party” that backed down, packed up and went home, cancelled their planned protest of unloading a truck full of boxes of tea outside the White House on April 15, 2009, because the U.S. Park Police said they didn’t have the proper permits in place for a protest? That?
You made my point for me.
"How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: what would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good‑bye to his family?
"Or if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand...the Organs (police) would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers...and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt."
