“We are entering a new phase.”
I think this phase is called, “Normalization”. I’m not too up on this so I’ll look it up but, am fairly certain this is the phase we’re in.
I agree with your score of, 2010=10.
We have congresscritters who think nothing of publicly stating that most of what they do is unconstitutional, etc.!
We also have those who mock and ridicule us and all the while, they ignore our requests and grieveances.
And we have a NUT @ 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. who makes statements such as, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” I call that a rabble rouser, not a statesman!
I do pray for peaceful resolutions to our present circumstances but, to borrow a line from another FReeper (don’t remember who or on what thread), “It’s going to be a long summer.”
IMHO one of the first steps to righting that which is so wrong, is to show these career politicians the door and never allow this situation again. Then dismantle all the ridiculous government agencies, including but not limited to, the IRS. Next, strip all the insane laws, supposedly meant to protect us, which serve only as shackles on our feet.
Question is.....how do we accomplish it all?!?!?!?
We can only hope.
"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."
