The State Is Not Your Friend!
American Thinker ^ | 8 Aug, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 08/08/2024 4:06:49 AM PDT by MtnClimber

And hates free speech, free markets, self-government, and world peace!

Right now, the United Kingdom is barreling toward totalitarianism. After a second-generation immigrant reportedly murdered several children in a vicious stabbing attack last week, native Brits took to the streets to denounce their country’s criminally dangerous open borders. If these outraged citizens had been members of Antifa, the press would have compassionately framed their actions as “mostly peaceful protests” deserving of praise. Instead, because the public’s fury is directed toward one of globalism’s sacred cows — mass migration — angry parents have been condemned for fomenting “violent riots.” Protecting children from serial killers and sexual predators, it seems, is not “politically correct.” Of course, anyone familiar with the Rotherham grooming scandal already knew that

The problem, according to the ruling Establishment, is not that open border immigration policies have led to marked increases in violent crime and cultural hostility, but rather that ordinary citizens have begun to express their displeasure. Commie Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced a two-pronged solution for combatting public dissent: (1) increased social media censorship and (2) widespread implementation of facial recognition technology to beef up the U.K.’s already robust mass surveillance.

This exercise in raw tyranny follows Big Brother’s favorite playbook. First, the government creates a problem that harms ordinary citizens. Next, authorities pretend that no problem actually exists. Eventually, citizens are forced to take matters into their own hands. Finally, the government uses public outrage as an excuse to expand its own powers.

As in America, there is overwhelming public support in the U.K. for secure borders and controlled immigration. Just as in the United States, both sides of the U.K.’s political Uniparty have ignored citizens’ wishes and instead flooded the country with illegal aliens who cannot easily assimilate into Western society.

Some fish cannot live in the same pond together. The invader is called an invasive species and it harms everything else.

So what do you propose as a fix?
If I thought it was possible I’d rid the USA of every Democrat.
I don’t think we can humanely do that.
How to fix?

The UK government is using its power to force the citizens to agree to be replaced and to have their money taken and given to “migrants.’

Governments really hate it when citizens resist its power.

Same thing happening in USA.

If you really want an answer, the invaders are sacred cows to the small few at the top of the pyramid who need their numbers to support the structure under them.

The West has created a wealth-distribution system which cannot be sustained unless the base of the pyramid always grows. It is a Ponzi scheme, always in need of new blood.

None of this is constitutional. The US government is not “Uncle Sugar”. It can’t be, unless what you are seeing is what you want.

I’m a Democrat.

You wanna get rid of me?

This isn’t about party, though it’s a pity we didn’t take the warning about party in Washington’s Farewell Address seriously.

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

If you’re loyal to our former republic, that’s all that matters to me.

But first we restore our republic.

We can argue about everything else AFTER.

“If I thought it was possible I’d rid the USA of every Democrat.”

We need to curtail the ability of Democratic politicians to buy votes and ensure we don’t get taxed out of our homes.

One possibility:
Levies on any residential property of less than 2799 square feet of finished living space shall be no higher than the 2019 dollar amounts on the property, or for a newer or since resold property what a comparable property in the same area would have been levied at for 2019 if it lacked owner specific tax breaks, increased by 3% per calendar year since 2019 and by any percentage increase to its finished living space.

Fighting now in Congress to send middle-class income and property taxation cap constitutional amendments to the states would add the electors of several deep blue states to Trump’s total and make Congress turn deep red come November.

The US and the UK are state parties to the ICCPR.

The distribution of the Koran in the US/UK violates the ICCPR.

"Some fish cannot live in the same pond together."

Illegal immigrants...the Asian carp of America, and in Europe's case, the invited and welcomed in scum of the earth.

Article 20 is inconsistent with the idea of a right.

It does seem that you argue against yourself.

You say that Party means nothing, but you identify with it and won’t leave no matter what it becomes.

This is not meant as offense, but I think it goes a long way in explaining the persistence of parties in politics.

“I’m a Democrat.....

I hate to break it to you but those are incompatible concepts. Didn’t used to be.

The wild runup in house prices is a ticking tax bomb to the middle class.

All they need to do is declare some sort of emergency need to re-assess property to current valuations.

Like suddenly realizing they need more money for schools, fireman, police, etc. (of course due to immigrant influx that they themselves caused).

They’ll play the 3-card monte game of decoupling the cause-and-effect for PR purposes.

Why bother to leave it?

It’s far more entertaining to stay.

McCarthy, Johnson, Graham, Collins, McConnell, McCain...

See where I’m going with this?

BTW, if you ever go to a Trump rally, I’d really lose the ‘tude, dude.

You’ll find a lot of patriotic Dems at Trump rallies.

Because they know, as I do, that the letter after the name means jack (bleep) anymore.

This is important for a lot of people need to understand. You cannot trust their word at all. They do nothing for you the people, they do only what is good for them to gain power and control. If they propose something that sounds good to you it is NOT. Refuse to support it and run away from it as fast as you can. “Safety” is a keyword that should ring the alarm bells every time. They want our species eradicated so the last thing they care about is “safety”.
