America Truly is the Greatest Country in the World. Don’t Let Freedom Slip Away
“After America , There is No Place to Go”
No matter how many times it happens, liberals brush it off and say “it can’t happen here.”
This is a very good read. The Comment section is also very informative.
>The banality of evil.
>Universal Healthcare where you have everyone pay, a smaller set beneifit, and exterminate the set that is a burden.
>Educated people, some even with Doctorates.
>In comment section - redirection of focus on Christianity (religion) as the evil. Always redirect, focus, inflame when the real issue is more about the perversion of unquestioned power and authority. Any group can attain that evil. The Dems ARE that banal evil: they WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED!!! OBAMA WILL NOT BE QUESTIONED.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting!
Wake up AMERICA!!!!!!
Only until the evils of this Fascist Reality that the Democrats have just forced on the American is felt by the media types FAMILIES will you get at least a similance of truth.
But then the Democrats will have instituted censorship regarding ANY nefetive comments on Obamacare and it’s progeny.
It’s all about baby steps, and the left has been taking them for decades. People are angry at health care reform, but it’s only another incremental step. Government long ago unlawfully seized the power to regulate virtually anything (via the Commerce Clause). They can LEGALLY confiscate any or all income and redistribute it for any purpose.
Politicians already believe they have the right to do as they please. Now they are only haggling over the details.
Don’t put too much faith in guns, either. They don’t have to confiscate them. So long as they keep taking baby steps, most gun owners will never reach the point of open rebellion. Is civil war likely when they give the vote to millions of new citizens and convicted felons? Maybe, but probably not.
Don’t count on the courts either. They’ve been stacking them for decades. Even the Supreme Court hangs by a thread, only one appointment from being controlled by the hard left. The lower courts are stacked with some of the most extreme ideologues you will ever know!
We conservatives are running out of chances to turn the country back from the abyss, especially peaceful ones. I don’t think it’s over, but how many more opportunities are we going to get? Not many. Let’s make 2010 and 2012 count for all they are worth. We may not get another chance.
bookmark for later.
Fascinating in more ways than one. Thanks for posting.

Austria was already a dictatorship. They hadn't had a democratic election since 1930. A good sketch of the story can be found here: http://www.scrapbookpages.com/austria/anschluss01.html
Wow...what a story she tells.
Too many people would say that was then and this is no way the same.
Oh yes it is the same....
We are living it.
I PRAY we can stop this madness come November. Otherwise, just pull up the toga and succumb.

Even before the Anschluss, the Austrian Nazis were so nasty towards Jews, that even the German Nazis had to tell them to tone it down.
I think Obama and the leftist ‘rats see Hugo Chavez as the model to follow.
It won’t work here. There would be a civil war first, if, for example, they imposed virtual censorship as in Venezuela.

Dictatorship - noun, contemporary usage, dictatorship refers to an autocratic form of absolute rule by leadership unrestricted by law, constitutions, or other social and political factors within the state.
Among the most extreme examples of a dictatorship in recent history were Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
(Some of you may remember I once posted that when visiting Auschwitz, I saw books and a lampshade bound/covered in human skin.)

It's being rushed in this time. Many of us know they have the play book but far too many of us are putting our heads in the sand.

Health Care Reform is the 3rd wall. Only one more left for them to build.
The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp
by Steve Washam based on a telling by George Gordon
Some years ago, about 1900, an old trapper from North Dakota hitched up some horses to his Studebaker wagon, packed a few possessions,especially his trapsand drove south.
Several weeks later he stopped in a small town just north of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. It was a Saturday morninga lazy daywhen he walked into the general store. Sitting around the pot-bellied stove were seven or eight of the towns local citizens.
The traveler spoke, Gentlemen, could you direct me to the Okefenokee
Swamp?
Some of the old-timers looked at him like he was crazy. You must be a stranger in these parts, they said.
I am. Im from North Dakota, said the stranger.
In the Okefenokee Swamp are thousands of wild hogs, one old man explained. A man who goes into the swamp by himself asks to die!
He lifted up his leg. I lost half my leg here, to the pigs of the swamp.
Another old fellow said, Look at the cuts on me; look at my arm bit off!
Those pigs have been free since the Revolution, eating snakes and rooting out roots and fending for themselves for over a hundred years. Theyre wild and theyre dangerous. You cant trap them. No man dare go into the swamp by himself.
Every man nodded his head in agreement.
The old trapper said, Thank you so much for the warning. Now could you direct me to the swamp?
They said, Well, yeah, its due southstraight down the road. But they begged the stranger not to go, because they knew hed meet a terrible fate.
He said, Sell me ten sacks of corn, and help me load them into the wagon.
And they did.
Then the old trapper bid them farewell and drove on down the road. The townsfolk thought theyd never see him again. Two weeks later the man came back. He pulled up to the general store, got down off the wagon, walked in and bought ten more sacks of corn. After loading it up he went back down the road toward the swamp.
Two weeks later he returned and, again, bought ten sacks of corn. This went on for a month. And then two months, and three. Every week or two the old trapper would come into town on a Saturday morning, load up ten sacks of corn and drive off south into the swamp.
The stranger soon became a legend in the little village and the subject of much speculation. People wondered what kind of devil had possessed this man, that he could go into the Okefenokee by himself and not be consumed bythe wild and free hogs.
One morning the man came into town as usual. Everyone thought he wanted more corn. He got off the wagon and went into the store where the usual group of men were gathered around the stove. He took off his gloves.
Gentlemen, he said, I need to hire about ten or fifteen wagons.
I need twenty or thirty men. I have six thousand hogs out in the swamp, penned up, and theyre all hungry. Ive got to get them to market right away.
Youve WHAT in the swamp? asked the storekeeper, incredulously.
I have six thousand hogs penned up. They havent eaten for two or three days, and theyll starve if I dont get back there to feed and take care of them.
One of the old-timers said, You mean youve captured the wild hogs of the Okefenokee?
Thats right.
How did you do that? What did you do? the men urged, breathlessly.
One of them exclaimed, But I lost my arm!
I lost my brother! cried another.
I lost my leg to those wild boars! chimed a third.
The trapper said, Well, the first week I went in there they were wild all right. They hid in the undergrowth and wouldnt come out. I dared not get off the wagon. So I spread corn along behind the wagon. Every day Id spread a sack of corn.
The old pigs would have nothing to do with it. But the younger pigs decided that it was easier to eat free corn than it was to root out roots and catch snakes. So the very young began to eat the corn first.
I did this every day. Pretty soon, even the old pigs decided that it was easier to eat free corn, after all, they were all free; they were not penned up. They could run off in any direction they wanted at any time.
The next thing was to get them used to eating in the same place all the time. So, I selected a clearing, and I started putting the corn in the
clearing.
At first they wouldnt come to the clearing. It was too far. It was too open. It was a nuisance to them.
But the very young decided that it was easier to take the corn in the clearing than it was to root out roots and catch their own snakes. And not long thereafter, the older pigs also decided that it was easier to come to the clearing every day.
And so the pigs learned to come to the clearing every day to get their free corn. They could still subsidize their diet with roots and snakes and whatever else they wanted. After all, they were all free. They could run in any direction at any time. There were no bounds upon them.
The next step was to get them used to fence posts. So I put fence posts all the way around the clearing. I put them in the underbrush so that they wouldnt get suspicious or upset, after all, they were just sticks sticking up out of the ground, like the trees and the brush. The corn was there every day. It was easy to walk in between the posts, get the corn, and walk back out.
This went on for a week or two. Shortly they became very used to walking into the clearing, getting the free corn, and walking back out through the fence posts.
The next step was to put one rail down at the bottom. I also left a few openings, so that the older, fatter pigs could walk through the openings and the younger pigs could easily jump over just one rail, after all, it was no real threat to their freedom or independencethey could always jump over the rail and flee in any direction at any time.
Now I decided that I wouldnt feed them every day. I began to feed them every other day. On the days I didnt feed them, the pigs still gathered in the clearing. They squealed, and they grunted, and they begged and pleaded with me to feed thembut I only fed them every other day. Then I put a second rail around the posts.
Now the pigs became more and more desperate for food. Because now they
were no longer used to going out and digging their own roots and finding their own food, they now needed me. They needed my corn every other day.
So I trained them that I would feed them every day if they came in through a gate and I put up a third rail around the fence. But it was still no great threat to their freedom, because there were several gates and they could run in and out at will. Finally I put up the fourth rail. Then I closed all the gates but one, and I fed them very, very well. Yesterday I closed the last gate and today I need you to help me take these pigs to market.
The price of free corn.
The parable of the pigs has a serious moral lesson. This story is about federal money being used to bait, trap and enslave a once free and independent people.
Federal welfare, in its myriad forms, has reduced not only individuals to a state of dependency; state and local governments are also on the fast track to elimination, due to their functions being subverted by the command and control structures of federal revenue sharing programs.
Please copy this parable and send it to all of your state and local elected leaders and other concerned citizens. Tell them: Just say NO to federal corn.
Your link doesn’t work. I would be very eager to read the whole essay.
