Shake off the malaise! The world will look so much brighter in just a mere four months.
And, if the “Republican’ts” live up to their spineless reputations, not a whole lot will get done as is usually the case when they are in charge.
The momentum MUST not be squandered this time. Although, after years and years of let down after let down, there is not much hope for anything to change from several of us here as well.
Too many people here need to "hold the malaise" and recall the far greater struggles our forefathers endured, that we may very well have to endure as well.
"...with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
VDH is being creatively disingenuous here, the budget deficit in the USA is well over 3 Trillion a year if sane accounting standards were applied, the current debt of the country is over $128Trillion, to surpass 135Trillion before the next Presidential election.
And VDH knows this, he’s written about it in the past.
He also mysteriously falls back in to the default position that the US oligarchy and the average servant class in the United States aggregate into some type “we” at this point in time. There is no longer a United States in aggregate, there will never be a closed border because the oligarchy increased their concentration of wealth the longer the border stays open.
Why does VDH believe that the total economic output of this country implies our strength? Under 5% of the counties in this country produce over 50% of the exports. Again, there is no longer a aggregate “United States standing together”, the country has been permanently divided between producers and leeches.
VDH needs to lay off the flagwaving pablum and get serious about defending what for many years have been considered his personal conservative principles, this original article is a fine example of the sad sack showing of conservative thought in the top tier media outlets in this country.
VDH, pick it up!
This is not something that just occurred in the past year or so.
Today, we have a government that hates this country, its people and is determined to take us down and keep us down.
Our only hope is for the politically ignorant, Paris Hilton generation to put down the iPhones, log off Face Book, wake up, grow up and help us take back the country.
