Animal Farm politics. We never learn.
Actually Animal Farm Politics were not near as corrupt as the corruption that eats at the heart of our democratic REPUBLIC. Our republic is suffering from democracy. The Greeks and Ben Franklin warned us about this.
Democracy is great and beautiful when all are altruistic. Few are altruistic. Thus we vote to rob Peter, to rob John, to rob Charles, and to rob all to put their capitol and wealth into my pocket. It works great until Peter, John and Charles pockets are empty.
However, Peter and John and Charles being good capitalist have probably taken their wealth out of the country most legally before the socialist try to take it. Peter, John and Charles understand these things and consider them a great inconvenience but will manage well.
Those that are only marginally wealthy and are shop keepers, farmers, drivers, North Sea Oil workers will get screwed as the government will take their wealth quite legally with new rules and legislation.
TEXAS WILL SUCCEED AND FIGHT BEFORE WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO OUR TEXAS REPUBLIC.
1836 was a damn good year to be free. I pray that spirit lives on. In that vein I would also like to note that about 25% of the names of those that fought and died at the Alamo were Mexican. They fought for freedom and though they died, their deaths gave our Texas freedom.
If you have never been to the Alamo please go. Go into that sacred shrine and read the names on the wall. The names are English, Irish, Scottish, Hispanic, German etc. They are labeled by nationality. However, their true nationality is TEXAN! If you must speak please do so in whispers. It is a sacred spot.
God bless the Republic of Texas and the United States of America. I pray they are and will be one and the same.
