A divided America

[bolski]

If this government wants so badly to divide us then what is keeping from from it. Oh thats right, someone has to work to support these A$$holes and support the Entitled Americans under the current Pres. Really, all they want out of this shit is their tax money. They are not worried about safety one bit. I would just like to know how they can use taxpayers money lobby this stuff but for us to defend our rights we need groups like the NRA who are paid for buy us to fight them. I wish they would just spilt this country, I got no problem with that so then we can see them squirm when they need help money, workers to be protected. I just cant believe its even this close of a margin of Americans supporting the way things are going on both sides. It should be a given.
WAKE UP AMERICA, this is just the beginning.
I know this has been beat into the ground but I just woke up in a mood. Thxs and have a wonderful day.

Because the USA is a Republic otherwise in a Democracy a 51% vote could take our guns. http://www.1215.org/lawnotes/lawnotes/repvsdem.htm

it's all about money. nothing else. they do not care for our safety. if obama's kids can go to school with armed guards, when he wants to ban them and no guns in school zones, why do you think that is? he only cares about himself and the almighty dollar. i really think they have a bet going, who can fuck the American public the most. it's the we want everything and you can have nothing scenario over and over again.

I've never seen this country so divided. Often discussed in my office that the current path is a path to eventual destruction.

In the last 2 months I have concluded that this country is not continue much longer in its current form.

Socialists vs Individualists

I think the country will ultimately become entirely one or entirely the other. The the two ideologies can not coexist within one nation.

I agree. They are hitting us on as many fronts that they can. It's a lot more than just the gun control issue, that's just part of it. Either way it's going to be ugly.

Actually I think if we were to ever see government that truely listened to its people many of us would just drop dead from heart failure, seriously its been a slow erosion of our rights spoon fed to the public in small doses of a great amount of time , c'mon look at how they work , taxes for example at one point the american people paid little to no tax an we had a strong economy an had won many wars an also supported a large military. over time they add new taxes the people object an eventually get over it an unwillingly accept it . Guns for example its been the same way we had little to no regulation on them an then it slowly began every time the same thing we object then slowly accept the results . so it has become a war of attrician as government grows bigger an more influential as well as a general apathy among the public who actually think the government has our best interests at heart .
Just my opinion an I realize some may not feel the way I do , an I respect that .

I don't think the Founding Fathers every expected any govt they set up would be able to listen to the people, that is why they set up a very limited govt.

If they Founding Fathers came back to life today, I am sure that they would lead a revolution against the very govt that they founded.

Yep, it's the boil a frog scenario. Just add the heat a little at a time, and everyone thinks they're cozy & relaxing in the hot tub. Meanwhile they're all getting cooked.

Every right gets whittled away in small doses, and most people don't complain at the start, because "it's not affecting me".

Income taxes? Just for the richest millionaires, and only 3%, and it's just to pay for the war debts. Won't affect me. Someone has to pay all those debts, it's not like the Government can print money...

One of my clients used the "how to cook a frog" analogy a few weeks ago. Things are definitely going to get worse before they get better. Something drastic is going to happen in our lifetime.
