As we slip into more socialism and totalitarianism with the TARP bailout (with 78 billion unaccounted for) and the obscene "Porkulus Package", at what point will true Patriots attempt a change?
Personally, I believe that Joe-Six-Pack-Soccor-Mom doesn't know and cares not even if they do know! I also believe that the small rural gun-toting folks won't make a difference, which would be quickly put down by the authorities - think Ruby Ridge and WACO.
That said, the only legal chance this Republic has is "term limits" and "reduced congressional sessions". The less they are in session, the less harm they can do to our Republic.
Class-action lawsuits are our last chance to effort our positions. File suit against every law that is contrary to our Constitutional principles!
If we can't do that, then I suggest civil disobedience and possibly off-shore monies to further such efforts.
The time has come to make a stand. I'm 59 years of age; spent 11 years in the US Navy; owned and managed (3) different companies; been a political activist since, and have paid enough taxes to support upteem families for years. I'm done.
When will conservatives like you and me decide we have had enough??? The liberals get away with "civil disobedience" in every protest they do, in every demonstration they bus in . Is it not time for CONSERVATIVES to do same???
I'm willing to go to jail for a night and pay a small fine! Are you? If not, than enjoy your chains, because they are slowly surrounding you.
We are losing our Republic. Do you want to go down as Greece and Rome did? Forget their imperialism, they were Republics and they failed from within. DO YOU WANT THE SAME FOR OURS?
FYI
I agree. We must save ourselves from the bloated Federal Government. They think they are on a starvation diet...I say starve em. Tax Srike!
No offense, and thank you for your service, but this ‘gun-toting small rural folk’ Jane six-pack is fighting. If you think I won’t make a difference, sit back and wait. I’m not the only one. And the Waco thing, come on.
I am so done with politics. I'm going to take care of my wife and family and buy Chinese and Brazilian and oil stocks and make a future for my wife and myself, because I don't think anyone, with all their rhetoric, has the Cohones to fight the system anymore. This entire nation has become gutless.
Our Republic is dying, because no one cares, and the few who do, are not willing to really FIGHT for it. Elections no longer matter - the system is broken. It's long past time for torches and pitchforks, but no one has the fucking balls to confront those congress-critters on the Capitol steps and even give them a simple wedgy. God forbid, you or I get a simple misdemeanor assault charge.
We're history. So I'm going to make as much money as I can from the emerging markets. You guys play with your political parties and shuck and jive while playing the game. Good luck to you, my friends.
bookmarked, to come back later to read the responses
Yes! "Tax Srike"!
Think if 2 million tax-payers decided not to pay. What could the IRS do? That incompetent agency would self-destruct. They would have NO idea and NO resources as how to handle so many who refused to pay their taxes.
The problem with a tax strike is that it would end up being like Cartman in South Park when everybody in the class agreed to jump up when the teacher walked in the room, turn around, drop their pants and shout “Kiss my @ss!” When the teacher walked in, Cartman jumps up and does it; everyone else sits there and stares.
Also, liberal protests are against things the government wants to see shut down, like churches and stuff. You protest in a way that hurts their power structure, and they will react violently.
Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, personally. However, I still don't think there are enough of you hard-core Patriots to make a difference. As a military man, I belive it will come down to the your state National Guard. Depending on your state, it will depend on your Guard.
But Now I am so upset but what really hurts is that I am in the process of building a building in NJ..( I know), and the bank I am using is borrowing money from the Guv. at less than 1% and will not lend it out for less than 4.5 on a 6 million loan.
There are vultures at all levels now.
Than Dodd and Frank for making massive credit available to all the con artist like Madow and the “flip this house” mentality.
They would go on a “starvation diet”.
You’re 59? ;-}
