Oh, I understand the logic; I just don’t see our government shutting down the whole government apparatus in areas these people are being used to re-settle as they are abandoned by Americans. What would they do with all of those teachers, emergency responders, etc. - they are a key part of the 47% mentioned by Romney, and an invaluable conduit to transfer taxpayer dollars through their unions to Democratic Party coffers.
Duh. First responders have skills that have value beyond measure TO AN ARMY.
Look, this is NOT an idea I prefer, enjoy pondering, or endorse. I am just saying it is a POSSIBILITY. Weighed against all other options, assign probabilities and crunch= PREDICTION. “The Gods of the Copybook Headings” and all.
The political parties are dead. The Rats killed the GOP some time back and this cycle they are committing suicide. The Republic is DEAD.
Just yesterday FReepers, almost unanimously, vowed to NEVER SUPPORT THE GOP AGAIN. I saw it. You saw it.
The choice we face is not to “Save the Republic”. We let the political parties kill it, just as Washington feared. If we try to “Save the Republic” our gummint will (already is) turn against us.
If you really want to “Save the Republic” the time to act is RIGHT NOW. THIS MINUTE. ATTACK DC EN MASSE TODAY AND BURN IT TO THE GROUND.
See you there. I’ll meet you at the bridge over the Potomac.
Yeah, right.
So, back to, “Realistically, what are the possibilities?”.
Of all the options in front of us, which are most probable? To which is there the least resistance? Which requires the least effort and sacrifice? I would humbly submit that the options with these characteristics have the highest probability.
The “Save the Republic” through active resistance to Tyranny IS an option. About three percent of us are really prepared to die for this and every aspect of our gummint is determined to defeat us.
The same politicians that would shoot us down in the streets will sponsor our “ Victory Parades” as we return from Foreign Lands with booty liberated by conscripted Armies that we, with our military skills will lead. Empire is where Republics go to survive.
A nation of Useless Eaters will quickly be a victim to either it’s own corruption or ruthless neighbors.
I think we do have a limited window of opportunity but it is closing very quickly.
