“Useful” intelligence...reflects decision-making based upon accurate reading of reality. Any fool can make up a scenario, and then make the “right” decision to reinforce the illusion.(Global Warming being the prime example)
Useful intelligence results in decision-making to the benefit of the individual and community as a whole. The liberal dream-world decision-making benefits accrue to the benefit of the decision-makers at the expense of the rest of us.
A Second U.S. Civil War is almost inevitable at this point.
Who will win?
My bet is on the Right.
bttt
As my grandfather always referred to the pointy-headed “intellectuals”....Educated Idiots.
Dream on people. Nobody is going to do anything about all of this. Most of the incumbents won over the last few weeks. I believe Fox News said only 5 lost. Really sounds like a revolt is underway /sarc
People in here (and elsewhere) talk a lot - scream a lot - get mad - stomp their feet - and sometimes put on a good show. BUT - I can promise you that there are not enough good Americans do to anything about what is happening to our country.
They are either too lazy, too fat, too into themselves, or too occupied with their reputations to sacrifice even a dime for some revolt.
A few hundred or even a few thousand Tea Party members isn’t going to overthrow this government or any other government. They are not going to stop the tens of millions of illegals in this country. They are not going to stop the raping of America by this president or the Democratic Party. NOT going to happen.
I know everyone in here likes to post big talk and they like they pretend a revolt is near. But, lets be realistic. We all know that it isn’t going to happen.
I could come back in here ten years from now and the same people would be posting the same crap. Talking about how they are going to overthrow the government - how civil war is near - how this or that is going to happen.
The doom and gloom crowd as some like to call them.
Eh - nobody is lifting a finger. No shots will be fired. Nobody is going to take up arms.
Let’s stop pretending we live in the 1700s or 1800s - sure back then people realized they had power. Now, though? lol People could care less - the majority at least.
This nation is doomed to collapse under its own laziness. We have allowed all of our jobs to be exported. We have allowed ourselves to sail along in a sinking ship.
Occasionally a few people will stand up and proclaim this or that and talk about how bad it is getting. Then they slip into the darkness - sit back down - move on.
The ship is still sinking.
It’s over. Turn the lights out on the America we used to know.
Course - if I am wrong then I will apologize. But, I doubt I am wrong.
I disagree. I believe if the Left in this country prevails, they will create a tyrannical fascist pseudo-democracy, very unlike the current European states.
Since WWII, Europe has had connections to us to keep them free and honest (more or less...)....we've been a constitutional republican good influence, which of course is now waning (even as European freedoms are...). If we become a nanny state like their countries are--we will soon become tyrannical and dictatorial, as there is no good influence on us to reign us in--and nanny states don't work well when they are large...without dictatorial policies.
There is an a congressman in Alabama who has the founding fathers discussing what is happening in the US - tone founding father states Gather Your Armies.. I honestly believe the military would turn on the imbecile in the WH.
5 Stormfronters post a YouTube video from the border and suddenly ALL militia units and border control advocates are "88" wanna-be's.
There will be no civil war. If it was even possible, we'd already be in the field fighting it...
One day, we are going to kick their ass.
Archy CWII pinged this at #19 and I re-pinged it at #51. It certainly is a bullseye, isn’t it! Thanks for the heads up!
” I think it’s because they’re a bunch of lazy pussies. “
And cowards.
Absolutely agree.
Too many drone on about the differences between progressives and conservatives, as if it could be remedied by simple politics. They fail to realize the overarching reality that there is a larger program taking place: mans relationship with the God of the Bible. That is an exclusive statement because truth by its very nature, is exclusive.
By not their ignorance of what this country was built on, they are unable to interpret what the liberal manifestations are in themselves: a spiritual judgment of a people having turned their back on what our forefathers accepted as self-evident: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Along with that, they have discarded all the promises our forefathers clung to, not to mention the specific 365 Messianic prophesies that settled in their hearts that the God of the Bible is in fact, God’s written communication to His creation.
Truth is exclusive, and it is known because it corresponds to reality: Jesus Christ died so that sinful man can be reconciled to God, and there is no other way for man to become wise.
That is how we became the greatest nation on earth. Our rejection of truth is also how we are sliding into oblivion.
” “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” Rom 1:22 “

Uncle Sugar is in all aspects of our lives....it's time for a governmental re-org.
mamelukesabre is a defeated, cynical POS.
Thank you for your service, JD.
Most conservative leaders have done the same.
However, there IS one way back...STATES' RIGHTS!. Get enough States together to just say NO to the crap coming out of DC, and we may have a chance. Each State has its own National Guard (yes, can be federalized - but what if the Governor said no?), and there are something like 23 State SANCTIONED militias/guards/reserves. State Guard Association of the United States, not to mention the following:
US CODE
TITLE 10, Subtitle A, PART I, CHAPTER 13 § 311 § 311. Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The official classes of the militia are
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia
The movement is already in gear as some 20 States are sueing against obamacare, and others are passing or considering legislation that will exclude their State from having to participate. Many States are now looking at mirroring Arizona's illegal immigration law. Plus, Obama's absurd moratorium on drilling just got shot down in court. The 9th and 10th Amendments can't be more clear.
Horse Apples.
If they are wealthy, it is only because they are thieves. They have not produced any wealth.
They might be highly mis-educated, and the "extremely intelligent" label is a gross fabrication. College students in fields of Education, Sociology, Political Science, and any of the popular leftist Women/Ethnic Studies, come from the absolute bottom of the barrel in IQ scores and SAT scores. Thomas Sowell researched and wrote about this over two decades ago.
In the public arena, the leftists are the absolute village idiots.
Masterful in their use of language? Somewhat. Children can't lie successfully until their language skills pass some magic threshold.
So leftists (of both parties) are not smart. They are simply liars, cheats, and thieves.
