Thomas Jefferson wrote the following text, but only one line has been made
famous and put on T shirts. The rest is highly relevant and shows the
context of the snippet and the timelessness of our genius forefather's
foresight into the affairs of the nation they fought and died to create.

"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."

End of quote.

I wish to see some of this natural manure. And very soon. It's time for
a
rebellion, or we all will either perish or become slaves to the ruling
class.

Millions are losing jobs. Millions are losing their homes. Millions are
losing health care in a nation where free health care is available only to
aliens. In a nation where citizens are treated like lower caste members.
Let the nutjobs come to the front and start the rebellion like they are
doing, and like I have stated in the past. Some little farmer from Ohio
who has lost everything and is dying from cancer and can't be saved is going
to change the path of the nation.

Mark my words.


Here's to hoping that when the Great Cull (which is being breathlessly
waited for) starts, it is NOT with our commandeering chief. That would
light off a global race war, too. Nobody wants that.


There better not be a great cull, there is no reason. The experiment has
failed and almost everybody knows it. Sure the leftists will wail and gnash
their teeth but they are in such a small minority they don't matter. The
rest of the country anxiously awaits for November third, a new optimism will
burst forth and the country can get back to work.

How? That's the concern. "Throwing the bums out" is only the
first of many steps. Then comes the removal of onerous laws, onerous
regulations, onerous taxes. Each of which will have a vocal support
group who are going to wail loudly about the approaching apocalypse if
their special little item is no longer funded/administered/regulated
by the Federal Government. The argument has been made for decades
that X is only a small amount, pennies per person. Which is true, but
that doesn't mean that those pennies do not add up to "real
Money(tm)". A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're
talking real money. (Only when Senator Dirksen said that, it was
"million")
With a complicit media considering Joe Lieberman to be a right
winger, you know that every line in the Federal Registry is going to
be presented as vital to the Health of the Nation, to National
Security.
If the newly elected House and the new Senate attempts "politics
as usual" - there is likely to be a rejection of the electoral method
of accomplishing change, and some who will figure that the only means
of achieving change is going to be direct application, as distasteful
as it might be. Revolutionary violence actually tends to occur when
things begin to improve, or are expected to improve, but are not
improving "quickly enough". It is when men begin to believe that they
can cross the chasm between where they are, and where they could be
with a violent application of force, (or they believe that violence is
their only alternative) that violence is probable. Attica Prison, The
American/French and Russian revolutions, the various civil wars of the
last two thousand years.


It's been proven once
again that Socialism doesn't work and doesn't sit well with 98% of
Americans. Somebody should document that fact so the country doesn't have
to go through this again when memory dulls and the leftists try it again.
What IS wrong with them?

Hope and Change. All to often, the "children" feel that they are
the first to discover that the world is not fair, and that Something
Must be Done. They do not know that Something Has Been Done, and that
solution was even worse than the previous problem. But when they have
not examined history, but only the proper perspective on history,
thyme do not know this. And fall for the old saws of a better living
through benevolent dictatorship. Even Plato fell for it.
