I look at the headlines, and I just reel. How much more of this assault can the good people of this country take, before they explode?
I honestly would prefer for us to correct, using our established civil mechanisms, but for criminy's sake, you've got a federal government that is more lawless than people serving time in maximum security!
How the hell are you supposed to work "within the system", when they don't give two sh!ts what the law says???
We are likely 2/3 down the road to unadulterated socialism. Those who refute this are just plain naive or overly optimistic. The signs are all there. As you said, we have a government that is so corrupt that we are on the verge of a mass takeover if we even blink. I honestly don’t believe we can go back to constitutional law if we don’t rise up and do something soon.
But there is this: regardless of what you think on Obama’s eligibility, that is one issue that has been ridiculed by the leftwing media, the rightwing media, the political pundits, all the powers of Soros, almost every politician you can mention, the courts, paid internet trolls, etc......
and the people are still able to see through the crap in ever-increasing numbers. People are seeing that the media are liars, law enforcement non-existent, the courts a sad joke, and our political leaders gutless.
Big Brother is holding up 2 fingers, telling us to say there are 3, and more and more people are reaching the point where they can once again see straight to see two fingers. Big Brother is NOT shutting us down, not defeating us.
What I believe needs to happen, at the state level if not the federal level, is for us to demand laws that specifically give citizens standing to sue when that law is violated. The fox must not be allowed to monitor its own self while it supposedly guards the henhouse. Lawmakers, media, and law enforcement are all in bed with each other, and if we can get access for the people to uphold the rule of law if the cronies won’t, then there will be a healthy RESPECT for the people and the rule of law.
I think there’s been a lot of creeping lawlessness but now that the fox is springing for our throats a lot more people are awake. Ready to fight.
Pray for our leaders, like Scott Walker, who are under intense pressure. Better to light a single candle than curse the darkness, and one of these leaders - or one of us - will ultimately be the David whose rock and sling bring the giant of these lawless thugs to its knees.
I dread labor, but I love birth. False labor is the worst - uncomfortable but not enough to be productive. I think you’re right that we’re moving on to the real thing. It could get really painful, but that’s how birth always happens. Normally, anyway. We’re awake now, we’re in pain, we’re going to work until we give birth to a free country once again. Scary, but exciting too. =)
