classic chicago politics being implemented at the federal level
how does one gain control of the population?
one has a private army
as well equipped as our military
Zero’s army is the Union
his generals are the union bosses
through forced payment of dues and government grants, the unions are well equipped to control logistics, such as who gets what when: which job, which salary, or which car registration, or ticket, or marriage license, or case investigation, or credit report gets preference
public employee unions are a conflict of interest
and a danger to the Republic
"It's a republic, if you can keep it". Benjamin Franklin;
"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government." Thomas Jefferson;
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money". Margaret Thatcher;
"One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence." Thomas Sowell;
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." Winston Churchill;
"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude." Alexis de Tocqueville.
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship." This quote has been attributed to Alexander Tytler, Elmer T. Peterson, and even Alexis de Tocqueville. No one is certain who originally coined the phrase.
No matter who originated the last quote, it is a truism as if you or I had stated it today.
There is no going back once people get what they think to be free stuff from the Fedgov. Remember the woman who said, "...it will come from Obama's stash"? That thinking will be our demise. Even us boomers will gladly accept Medicare from other tax-payers till we die.
The populace will always be promised more by the politicians and continue to vote those in who promise them most. The producers and self-accountable types are growing older and dying off. Who does that leave? THE public educated X generation who have NO clue what life is about.
So what's the answer beyond the moment of reprieve we've had with the House turn-over? You really think that will last with the above takers? And what REAL change have they even accomplished so far? 350 million reduction in a 1.3 trillion projected deficit? Have they seriously defunded ANYTHING??? Boehner is a frigging sissy. I would hang my head in shame and resign, if that were the best I could do.
I don't think you guys are getting it. Once a wannabe politician climbs the ladder from city council or "community organizer" to higher office, it is painfully obvious they no longer have the best ideals of the US Constitution or civic duty in the forefront of their minds. They are about their careers.
Again, what's the answer? What's my answer? I've posted many of my ideas on this board over time, but you rah,rah party people don't want to hear it, because you're so locked into your next election.
I'd go back through my vanities to find the post that gives a point by point plan to reverse our headlong race into the socialist oblivion, but so many would rather run their race or team, rather than try to make real changes in the system.
The other day Obama said to a Town Hall audience that he wants to Live in a Country that is FAIR and you don see Homeless People when you are driving around. All I could think of when I heard that was it sounded Like a Beauty Paegeant Contestant in the Question Round Giving their answer to the Question of What Kind of Country would you like to Have. But Folks this Is your President The Great orator
Bump to Tyranny
This will “require” NOTHING. He can write whatever he wants. Ht can invoke whatever he wishes. If his order violates the CLEAR language of the Constitution, then his ORDER DOES NOT HAVE the force of law.
Now, he might send his thugs to come kill me, or throw me in a gulag, but that doesn’t make his “law” either “right” or “legal,” much less Constitutional.
So, go ahead, make a “fiat declaration” in this regard. The American People may bow, they make obey. I. for one, will not let those chains weight heavily upon me.
Do we need any more proof that he needs to be impeached, along with Schumer?
