Good point and I know even conservative states/cities are being influenced by the very vocal minorities, but I’m getting old and probably won’t live long enough to see things much worse. My kids, on the other hand, will but probably won’t be able to stop it. I think we would be okay for a long time if the federal government stayed out of things, but they won’t.
I dread what I feel is coming.
I have had a wonderful life. I have never felt hunger or the privations of involuntary exposure to the elements at their worst (at least not that I couldn’t have escaped from). I have been able to work, and I have been able to experience life, liberty, and happiness.
I have been one of the most fortunate humans ever to inhabit the face of the earth.
But the concept of having to walk along a frozen New England road with no shoes or coat, nowhere to go, no food and no money is not an appealing thought. And everytime I think it can’t happen to me, I remember that we are only a few gallons of gas and a few days worth of food and water away from anarchy and chaos.
And I remember there were a lot of affluent Polish people in 1939 who did that walk on a frozen road with no shoes. I don’t want to be one of them.
Liberals are bent on attacking and destroying the most efficient and productive generator of wealth (capitalism) in their attempts to achieve their utopian goals, and a darn state line isn’t going to stop them from trying.
I have been a beliver in a Federal Government, but only in the way our founders believed in that concept (those like Washington and Hamilton who were proponents).
What we see now in Washington is what our founders feared. What we see is a monstrosity, inhabited by people who are mostly (but not all) leeches who see government as their meal ticket for as long as they can carry on successful political campaigns.
The fix, I think, without civil war, is first giving state’s rights back to the states, and secondly, weaning states off of money such as the federal highway funds, which are used as a behavioral lever by the goverment...if you do this in your schools, outlaw this behavior and do something else, you will be sure to get your slice of the federal pie (highway funds, etc)
