It may be too late to fix the damage of the democrats.

Am I asking too much to vote them all out but a handful of maybe republicans and cut their salaries and stop the back door slush funds, big gov, and all of the corruption?

Duplicate thread, so I’ll copy and paste my post :)

Right up the zero’s alley. This guy wouldn’t know how to balance a budget on the Arizona border.

Someone has been in the koolaid... LOL

Been taking the "ectasty" of Empire?

Got Power?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Yoo bad. A brilliant mind warped into uselessness.

"Let’s get real. Here is what the government is likely to do. Once Washington realize that the dollar is at risk and that they can no longer finance their wars by borrowing abroad, the government will either levy a tax on private pensions on the grounds that the pensions have accumulated tax-deferred, or the government will require pension fund managers to purchase Treasury debt with our pensions. This will buy the government a bit more time while pension accounts are loaded up with worthless paper."

There's an even simpler solution that the author missed, but that has already been run up the flagpole by the SEIU - simply seize all pension and retirement plans and nationalize them on the ground that individuals and private trustees haven't run them responsibly and therefore government must step in. Everyone gets in return an IOU that, supposedly, gives them a claim on the one big pot of assets the government seizes but, as we all know (and as the author does point out) Uncle Sam's IOUs will soon not be worth the paper they're written on.

Basically, this is what Argentina did in 2006 (if I recall correctly) and, of course, it didn't take long before the assets in those seized retirement plans were simply "lent" to the government and spent.

Gerald Celente in 2009 Says A Revolt is Coming

[Ronbo1948]

A CONTEMPORARY SAM ADAMS SPEAKS:

I have worked for a Second American Revolution since 2005 when I finally realized that compromise with the Left was impossible because they had become dominated by the Communists who had taken over the Democrat Party lock, stock and barrel.

This came after a long socialist evolution in American politics going back about 100 years. The election of Barack Obama only sealed the deal. Our federal government has become socialist, and the American Armed Forces in which I served for twenty years have become the defenders of socialism.

I think revolution is the only option for American Patriots. I realize that a majority of American do not favor taking up arms in defense of liberty at this point - They still think elections will rollback the Red Tide. It won’t. The Communists (who call themselves “Progressives”) also control Academia, Media and Business. The only means of restoration of the republic is by force of arms, since many thousands of hardcore socialists can only be removed from public life by brute force.

American Patriots are already revolutionists, this is in our DNA from the First American Revolution and the U.S. Civil War, but we must become radical republicans and rid our country of its Leftist ruling elite in the same ruthless way the French revolutionists rid their country of their reactionaries in 1789 to 1794.

It is well said that the U.S. Constitution is not a suicide pact.

Therefore, we must make total war on all types of socialists who attempt to hide behind that great document and infest our body politic. When these parasites are terminated with extreme prejudice and our Homeland is secure once again, we must launch a counter attack against all forms of world socialism and ally ourselves with the Freedom Fighters of the planet.

The Communists declared war on Freedom in 1848.

The time has come for Freedom to declare war on Communism.

"Without A Revolution, Americans Are History"

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

My guesstimate of the death toll of an American Civil War; 100,000,000, including 99% of all Freepers and our families.

[Ronbo1948]

Both.

All revolutions are bloody.

But know this: The American, French and Russian People did not start their respective revolutions - Their respective ruling classes started the revolutionary wars by oppression.

In the words of my alter ego, Rambo, “They Drew First Blood.”

The wars, which benefit no one but the military-security complex and Israel’s territorial expansion, can be immediately ended.

WHAT "territorial expansion?" Israel isn't territorially expanding.

First part of the article had me. PCR spins off into LSDland bleating about neocons and completely scrapping the Defense budget.

Sorry, no sale.

[Condor51]

Here is what can be done.
The wars, which benefit no one but the military-security complex and Israel’s territorial expansion, can be immediately ended. This would reduce the US budget deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars per year. More hundreds of billions of dollars could be saved by cutting the rest of the military budget which, in its present size, exceeds the budgets of all the serious military powers on earth combined.

US military spending reflects the unaffordable and unattainable crazed neoconservative goal of US Empire and world hegemony.

I'm pretty sure his Thorazine shot wore off just as he started typing that.

[sauropod]

Precisely.

[paulycy]

[gusopol3]

Exactly right.And thanks for the pickup on that ,I was a little slow. Anybody who doesn’t talk about shrinking the size of the government workforce and its baggage is either too dumb or too dishonest to write about economics at all. And what a target rich environment it is, even this week with Congress called back to session to bailout the teachers’ unions.

The American people are voting with their wallets. The government can’t continue without funds indefinitely. Keep every dollar you can in your control and “starve the beast,” as Pres. Reagan advised.

[Ronbo1948]

My FRiend Sulla:

When the dogs of war are released, victory for the Constitutional faction in a civil war is not immediately inevitable; the outcome may be an American version of Oliver Cromell’s “Commonwealth” complete with a military dictator.

However, after all is said and done, restoration of the Republic under the U.S. Constitution of 1789 is as inevitable as the restoration of the Monarchy in England after the death of Cromwell. The Monarchy is in the English People’s DNA. The Republic is in the DNA of the American People.

There was a revolution, it began in 2006 and was complete on November 4, 2008. 2009 and 2010 laws were passed that will tighten their control of every aspect of our lives once they become fully effective.

Come 2013 the peasants will be rudely jolted awake as to what they did back on November 4, 2008.

[paulycy]

The Republic is in the DNA of the American People.

Very well put. It's very encouraging to read a post like yours.
