It is true th...Stop with the apocalyptic rhetoric. It is true that politics in this country is divided. It has been divided for quite awhile. What is different now is that those of you who are in the minority (remember that Obama was elected with a sizeable majority) have chosen to try to demonize him instead of working with the majority to get the best you can out of the legislative initiatives. What the minority party has always done is take its medicine, learn its lessons, and work to convince a majority of the American electorate that its ideas and policies are what they should vote for next time around.<br /><br />So...Stop stamping your feet and screaming until you turn blue, and start working in a mature way! To the extent that we even get close to a "civil war," it will be as a result of too many people believing someone like Glen Beck, who actually called the sitting President of the United States a racist!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-7097601178536300812009-08-11T21:36:11.886-05:002009-08-11T21:36:11.886-05:00"we reject the BIG STOMPING FOOT of federal g..."<i>we reject the BIG STOMPING FOOT of federal government beyond the miniscule amount of government necessary for roads and bridges and national defense.

And General Washington didn't appear to have any qualms about squishing a tax protest with the constitutionally-approved, collectively-funded, government-commanded army he called up. They want Medicare, you want highway entitlements and military adventures. Liberty wants neither.<br /><br />The Free State Project seemed to discover "a common language of resistance" when people agreed to move to New Hampshire together if and when 20,000 people could be signed up. They didn't make their numbers and the move was off, but the commitments seemed to be taken quite seriously. How about instead the Free <b>of</b> State Project, which seeks one million commitments to never pay a tax bill again? People promise that if the one million number is made, that week they file a new W-4 with "Exempt" written in line 7, and they stop paying taxes, licenses, permits, etc. They sign up pseudonymously so they don't put themselves on a list prematurely.<br /><br />Since fear-of-death courage and disagree-with-the-herd courage are separate qualities, this approach may be an even scarier prospect for this readership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-25636075378115200582009-08-11T16:04:13.539-05:002009-08-11T16:04:13.539-05:00....the PRODUCTIVE citizens of this country will b...<i>....the PRODUCTIVE citizens of this country will become nothing more than the oxen pulling the wagon full of these freeloading PARASITES - forever.</i><br /><br />And we PRODUCTIVE citizens will do nothing but pull it.

And they really don't like their patriotism besmirched. <br /><br />Americans certainly do not want to pay higher taxes for worse health care.<br /><br />But they also don't want their Medicare messed with. Since Medicare is a form of collectivism, it surely looks like collectivism does not work. <br /><br />Robbing your neighbor so you save $4500 on a new car is unfair. It does not produce economic growth, either. <br /><br />Collectivism does not work economically, psychologically, politically, or governmentally. Collectivism is a huge failure. It is nothing short of a catastrophe. <br /><br />It would be helpful, in terms of education, to move from "Don't Tread on Me" to "Collectivism in all forms from socialism to communism to fascism is a disaster for human beings. We WANT to be free even if we are scared of the prospect. That's why we reject the BIG STOMPING FOOT of federal government beyond the miniscule amount of government necessary for roads and bridges and national defense. We stand for the Bill of Rights and the original Constitution. We reject racism. Everyone who wants to work is welcome."<br /><br />Change is coming, either civil war or an economic collapse caused by collectivist principles.

The level of anger is increasing by the day, and rightfully so, as these treasonous politicians insist upon raping and enslaving the American people. The rope gets pulled tighter and tighter, and eventually it will snap with a resounding CRACK! I can feel the tension in the air. It's rising, and has been for over a year now. How much longer it will take no one knows for sure, but one thing I do know is that those on Criminal Hill will not back down, and neither will true American Patriots. <br /><br />"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ~Thomas Jefferson <br /><br />The tree is looking rather dried out right now......<br /><br />Mayberry IIIMayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-77312540473968028712009-08-11T07:47:32.284-05:002009-08-11T07:47:32.284-05:00If the collectivists manage to shut down debate an...If the collectivists manage to shut down debate and pass their government takeover into law, the PRODUCTIVE citizens of this country will become nothing more than the oxen pulling the wagon full of these freeloading PARASITES - forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-825982551196293512009-08-10T22:59:30.050-05:002009-08-10T22:59:30.050-05:00Thoughts, most excellent.

For quite a while now I just keep humming the tune,"When Johnny comes marching home." The low and slow real Bluzy lament. From my back deck, I take aim at the tin cans I have lined up on the board out past the shed. "POW" and one flips up in the air when the round hits it. "Practice, practice" I think.
