CORRUPT POLITICIANS HAVE TRAMPLED OUR CONSTITUTION AND STOLEN OUR GOVERNMENT AND LIBERTY
Peter Schweizer, in his superb book “Throw Them All Out,” wrote:
“In short, the Permanent Political Class has clearly figured out how to extract wealth from the rest of us based solely on their position and proximity to power. If you have a seat at the table, you are in for the feast. If you don’t have a seat at the table, you are probably on the menu.”
For example, fabulously wealthy Senator John Kerry (D-MA) purchased shares of Citigroup (up to $550,000) and Bank of America ($350,000) right before the government bailed out the banking industry. Coincidence or is it insider trading, the legal graft Congress reserves for itself?
Clarice Feldman clearly and succinctly described how an entrenched oligarchy exploits the American people to increase their own power and wealth:
1. The media and the Democrats are joined at the hip and have created a “hereditary celebrity class.”
One of the fastest ways to celebrity is to be the child of a politician or a well connected political operative e.g. Meghan McCain, Mika Brzezinski, or Chelsea Clinton.
2. The political class views the taxpayers as cash cows to be milked for their own benefit and the benefit of their friends, children and contributors.
The Department of Energy blew even more money, a $1.4 billion loan guarantee, on a Robert Kennedy Jr. project Bright Source than it did on the already well-known Solyndra fiasco.
3. The Supreme Court action on the three ObamaCare Cases on which it granted certiori might well encapsulate the principle that we citizens are, in fact cash cows there for the federal government to milk.

These people in "power" don't seem to have any fear of us "peasants"...

Col Sellin don’t half-step!
Semper Watching!

I would prefer that states like Maine, NH, and Vermont form a coalition and secede.
Imagine, no EPA, no IRS, no federal bureaucracy.

You're dreaming. Vermont is probably one of the most leftwing states in the Union.

Tar. Feathers. Rope.
This kind of thinking only plays into the hands of the leftists.
yep, we have already lost the country..we have a teflon president, who writes his own laws and the sheeple still have food, that will change soon I am afraid..
GEORGE WASHINGTON, farewell address, Sep. 19, 1796
If in the opinion of the People, the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation ; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.

George Washington Quotes II

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775
I think he means, he would like them out of the Union. Unfortunately, we would need to get rid of a few more states, basically everything North and East of Central Virginia and of course California. We would also have to rewrite the Constitution to where there was absolutely nothing that could be left to “interpretation”.
This is going to sound a little strange but I am feeling less and less connected to the national debt.
It’s just not my debt and I really don’t recognize any obligation on my part to pay it.
So go on spend whatever someone will lend you government man. We know nobody’s going to pay it back.
Civil war is the only option left. The collapse is inevitable and imminent. American cities will burn when the feral dependents find their EBT cards no longer work.
Right now, there's no indication they're willing to entertain any alternatives, and they're running ouf of time to find another option.
It may be that they'll only believe that it's possible when it's right in front of them, and presented at gunpoint.
How has it come to this? The Government Class leeches off the rest of us and we are just suppose to take it. Every cent that they get from the government, for Pet Projects, Insider Trading, or Whatever is Taken from YOU! They let Illegals Roam Free and Take our jobs in exchange for their votes at election time, they don't do deals like the Keystone pipeline with Canada, that would create Hundreds of Thousands of New Permanent Jobs and would increase the capital that the country has, because they can get rich by get it tied up in Enverio-Impact studies for years. They care nothing for the people of this country and THAT breeds a very dangerous environment.
