American Spring

[mosseater]

Ran across this today. Not claiming it's new or worthy, just interesting (so far). Your perusal and commentary? Seems well intentioned, but not sure of it's origination.

Greetings,

Thanks for the link mosseater. I'm with them in heart and spirit, but figure the .gov response to part 2 would be a rerun of the WW1 vets bonus march episode. The existing criminals in dc aren't going to go quietly into the night. Things would get VERY ugly before there was any chance of that. Take Kiev and multiply by some orders of magnitude to get an idea of the reality.

Regards, Jim

There can be no "American Spring". A mass demonstration, sure. Will that change anything (other than, awareness), no. 4 November 2014 is what will change things. IF, you have had enough, and actually vote.

This not about Republicans and Democrats. It's about ideology. Socialist/Communist or Constitutional Republic; It's your choice; It's your children's future.

Honest question. What happens when the majority are choosing socialism? The last elections have been almost 50/50. It seems we are evenly split on what we want. As time goes on we get farther and farther from limited government traditional American culture, whatever that is.. So, is it just over? How do you change the hearts and minds versus public schooling, the media, movies,music and TV?

At this point I take any spring.

Absolutely agree. I think it comes down to more than just vote them out. When the contagian has reached a level where ignorance wins every election cause Santa has come to town again, there needs to be a check to restore the balance. The informed are outnumbered by the slackers and every election goes to the slacker candidate who promises the most goodies, while the informed stand humbly in the shadows patiently waiting for the next election, which they will surely lose as well.

So, we're just relegated to whimpering facts to an ignorant majority who will dismiss us as just so much background noise, like a pesky mosquito who won't go away but endlessly ruins their enjoyment of the gobbermint benefits they rake in? Not sure where we cross the line from "education" to "lesson", but when the lesson kicks in, the ignorant better be paying close attention. At thst point, what they glean from the lesson will be up to them, not the instructor. Teacher won't care if they learn it or not when he's tramping a mud hole in their asses. They can either get it or not, but they'll assuredly reap what they've sown. Don't know if that's considered an American Spring or not, but there will be storm clouds aplenty.

Heard Art Laffer speak last night, and he is convinced that we are on the verge of a brighter era in America. He likened Clinton, Bush, and Obama to the crazies who went before Reagan. It was at least nice to hear a positive outlook for once...

Amusing to me that some people still have faith in the ballot box to restore Liberty.

Amazing to me....

Recovery, maintenance and re-gaining of liberties is big business today. All scenarios involving liberties, past, present and future, require huge sums of money be thrown at them via large organizations or attorney fees.

Speaking of which...there are 23 lobbyists for every law-maker. From reading the pleas for money, either lobbyists are extremely expensive, or someone should be asking lobbyists if they are doing anything immoral or illegal with all that money the orgs they represent seem to need. Recall Obama promising during his 2008 campaign to do away with lobbyists?
