Stalin was the author of that fractured quote ...

Fits him to a tee, as it does 0, Bubba, and every other pol I can think of right now. The R's need to learn...the citizen conservatives need to weed the morally weak Republicans out of the party, replace any and all that they can at the city/county level and work up. It needs to be done right now, time wasted is a job undone. Personally though, I think it is too late to save the system. It is now so top heavy, that it will crash sometime in the next 3 years.....although I believe it will happen about this time next year.

The current commie/fascist administration is close to having instituted the means to control future elections for their outcome regardless of voters opposed to the federal oligarchy.

When you see SEIU and ACORN members enlisted to be the 'poll watchers', you may then assume the transition is completed and the old Republic is no more.

Very good, yes I remember well 1960, I had enlisted in the Navy and was part of the cordon on Pennsylvania Ave. for the enaugural parade of JFK.

Then, remember, when Castro was such a hero and when he openly praised Communism and took absolute power, there were some gasps (from my folks and other conservatives) but he took control without a bobble. Braindead people—or in cahoots, whichever.

You can see it, I can see it, most FReepers are certainly astute and can see it but the Socialist steamroller continues. The USA haters are gaining power and once consolidating it, well, I can’t go there right now...

-businesses that survive off of government contracts; and
-all the other funds and projects handed out as political favors...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In my county the biggest single employer in the county is the government schools! And..Attached to all that school money are the business that service the schools and their employees.

Even my dentist ( of all people) and his 5 employees depend on the government school dental insurance that is brought into the dental office!

So....When government takes over larger and larger percentages of the GDP, there are more and more votes even within the private business community to feed the tax eating beast.

What more can we do? We have protested, voiced our opinion,called our Congressmen/women,wrote our Congressmen/women, attended Townhall meetings, went to Wshington, D.C., all to no avail. obama and Nancy pissed in our faces Saturday night. They, via their votes and the way it was handled, said that we could, as far as they were concerned, go to hell. We don’t give a damn what you think. We will do do as Please.

Look for something along the same line to happen in the Senate. Don’t be fooled by the,”It is DOA” talk. It is merely a ruse to get us to let our guard down.

But, upon further contemptation, knowing the contempt they hold us in,I don’t believe that they care if we do or we don’t let our guard down.

When the time comes for them to act, they will do as they please and to hell with how we feel or what we say.

It would behoove us to make a decision as to what we will do after it is passed and signed by obama.

The USA is an anomaly, as far as history goes. I think the experiment is over, but for the crying in the bier.

Remember those “week without a Mexican” strikes?

Yes. Traffic was lighter. Other than being a newsworthy curiosity, closing of some restaurants, and lack of pine straw delivery, nobody cared.

“We have no idea how to pay for our Social Security and Medicare obligations”

- Well I guess when it does eventually run out, Grandma and/or Grandma will have to go to work like the rest of us.
Including my own (who are staunch Democrats).

A MONTH????

I’m with you, but heck, we can’t even get folks to take ONE DAY off work to protest more effectively DURING THE WEEK.

“I’m not optimistic. I believe history teaches, and there are fundamental human laws.”

- And to think, some freepers want to do away with history classes in college.

Insanity.

“It makes us overly dependent on workers and entrepreneurs who may flee the country or simply stop working as the burden on them grows.”

- Bingo. The tighter the reins Pelosi and Co. implement in the form of ever newer and bigger taxes, the more likely companies will ship their work overseas to India, China, Korea and Mexico. Far far lower wages, excruciatingly long work hours, and lower age-to-work (12 year olds doing factory work) laws.

And far less environmental regulations.

The average, spoiled and complacent American is in for a huge wake up slap. And I’m not going to have much sympathy.

Who was it that said, “votes don’t matter, those who count the votes do” hit it spot on.

It was Stalin,, no big surprise that he comes up when we are discussing Dems!

Unfortunately, our government DOES NOT have the will.

Indeed. One could make the argument that many in our own government hold the chant "Death to America" in their hearts.

Yes, and when you add in the amnesty bill mentioned on another FR thread today, I’m sure they will sneak that through in the middle of the night, then we are done for (at least as far as solving problems at the ballot box).
