‘E’s not pinin’! ‘E’s passed on! This country is no more! He has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker!
‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ‘im to the perch ‘e’d be pushing up the daisies!
‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig!
‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-COUNTRY!!
Lovely plummage the American Bald Eagle.
Whether the republic is dead, or at some other point on a continuum towards its demise, is little more than an interesting academic exercise. We should spend little time engaged in that exercise and most of our time doing the things that have to be done to save it no matter how advanced the destruction.
America’s principles haven’t changed. There are still millions of us who hold those principles in our hearts and adhere to them. The way back, no matter how you cut it, is to help our fellow citizens return to those first things.
Agree, except with the idea of this being an academic excerise: you have to know where you are to best plan and commit to where you want to go.
That was one hell of a summary. I’m not as cynical, but I think you’ve nailed it.
Ditto! Never, never. “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.”
Blah, blah, blah...you obviously look in the mirror and “see” an intellectual. You’re just another hack.
Let’s all move to Canada and become lumberjacks.
Yes! A lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree
as they float down the mighty rivers
of British Columbia
The giant larch, the redwood, the mighty Scots pine
With my best girl by my side
We’d sing, sing, sing.....
Oh! I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
Governments can put you in a prison without any bars. The Soviets did it. I don't think we will see Soviet Union style conditions here in the US, but one day we'll be asking what the hell happened to the country if the current trend continues..
And I would bet that said spark will be the same one that ignited the original American Revolution---an attempt to disarm the people. All those folks buying record numbers of guns and ammo are voting for it already. I do NOT think those folks intend to surrender them, if, as, or when Obama and his buddies try their gun ban(s).
That WILL be the spark.
I have been saying this for months now. I would rather live in Europe under their governments than under this fascist tyrannical banana republic.
“Blah, blah, blah...you obviously look in the mirror and “see” an intellectual. You’re just another hack.”
I don’t see myself as an intellectual — just as a concerned citizen. I’m not sure what you see yourself as.
Agree with all who believe it is too late for others to effectively extinguish the “America” concept.
Thought should be given to creating local “Civilian National Defense Corps” - albeit with a better title - with formal recognition by red state Republican politicians.
(How did Republicans get snookered into accepting the “red state” designation?)
The sole political non-violent purpose of such groups would be, as is requried in federal oaths, to defend the Constitution,
The challenge for patriots who choose to defend the Constitution may be to proceed in the absence of the internet, a free press, untapped telephones,etc.
Overly pessimistic.
One, it will take only ONE right person to turn this.
I see myself as someone who recognizes an obvious fan of Obama’s and his Marxist ideal. You’re no better than Carville, Begala or Meghan McCain.
Never give up!
Never never never give up!
Read “Slouching Towards Gommorah” by Robert Bork, 1996. What is happening is almost unstoppable. It breaks my heart.
Divide the country in half. It’s the only solution I see.
