From someone who has actually lived with oppression and the government in charge of EVERYTHING! Will we be "woke" in time? Not looking good right now but we shall overcome in time.

Empires go down in history when they make bas calls.

And so it will be with THIS one if it takes the wrong turn!

A REALLY IMPORTANT email just came to me from a friend. 
If the DACA thing still confuses you and/or you want to know why Democrats and some Chamber of Commerce RINOs favor DACA and/or you want to know the REAL REASON WHY the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution (as opposed to the totally false leftist, one-world “anchor baby” answer)  you might want to read this. That last one is the BIGGIE!

What’s at stake?  Not much. Just the culture and IDEA OF AMERICA that has become the envy of the world!
PLEASE SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!

PS: The OTHER reason why many of our rulers who art in Washington NEED millions of new serfs — from ANYWHERE in the world — is because years ago they co-mingled the funds for the Social Security “TRUST FUND” (do TRY to control your mirth!) with the GENERAL FUND and proceeded to purchase perpetual reelection with all sorts of costly goodies.  The dough has run out and these new “serfs” (and the Federal Reserve’s ability to create more fiat currency for which they charge us interest) are required to keep the damn thing afloat.  That the vast majority of these new “serfs” will vote leftist Democrat gives new and deeper meaning to the phrase “mass suicide” to the once respectable Republican Party.

Further clarification of this vital to national security and preservation issue is provided by Ann Coulter at the link below.

AFTER WORD:
Trump did the right thing to push obozo’s thoroughly ILLEGAL DACA up the Hill to the critters residing there.  That said, IF whatever comes off the Hill ALLOWS ILLEGALS TO REMAIN HERE, he’d better VETO IT or the bloom is off that rose.
What Rush, Tucker and Ann are simply doing is firing a warning shot across his bow! And MY post is simply to attempt to educate folks to the FACTS of this VITAL issue!

Now they are here to stay and fundamentally transform us because we let them.

Please don’t let that be our epitaph.

The era of the Empire is over. The last one to die was the Soviet Union. People want to control their government.

The things that are happening in the US are not sufficient to do harm to the country to the point it becomes an Empire.

Antifa is small and not very active.
Democrats have lost their minds and may go the way of the Dodo bird.
Socialism is burning countries to the ground and everyone knows it.

In short, the majority of the country wants a smaller, less intrusive government. That is not an Empire building strategy.

And BTW, there is no Western Empire, but there is a Western culture and it is much, much larger than any creditable threat on the horizon.

Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias"

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
