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. 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?

========
Does the phrase "If at first you don't succeed, try, try
again" ring any bells?

One of the major problems is that while "socialism," (with a
small s) has proven to be very workable in certain
countries, primarily Scandinavia, their
socio-economic/political conditions and environments [and
hence view of the world] are entirely different from those
of the United States. Some marked differences are
population homogeneity, high education levels, and absence
of a permanent underclass.

IMNSHO -- because these are *HIGHLY* politically incorrect
topics to broach, these are the elephants and gorillas in
the room, the policy makers on both political wings ignore,
with the result there is no common/majority U.S. view of the
world and thus no possibility of a majority consensus,
although a selected minority "reality" is indeed imposed
from time to time.

Operationally, Uncle Sam is a manic-depressive
schizophrenic, with increasingly frequent lapses into
paranoia and sociopathy. John Carroll appears to be 100%
correct when he observes that most of the current U.S.
problems have little to do with economics, finance or
technology, but are almost entirely driven by "mental
health" concerns, e.g. denial and projection.
