That has to be one of the most communist things I have heard come from their mouths.

Arrogant f---s
There are already faint rumblings of levying taxes on the larger personal retirement accounts. These have not been by people in the adminstration but by people who advise it. Just hypotheticals, but..... I tend to believe that we have much to look forward to in the next three plus years.

Among the issues mentioned are the lack of action taken agains Obama by the people. Unfortunately, we (regular citizens) can not take any action directly. The Constitution has no recall provision. Our congress is so obsessed with "getting along" that they will not impeach him. The senate being a democrat majority would not convict if he were impeached. Had our SCOTUS followed the 4 precedents set on natural born citizen, he would never have been on the ballot. (Not location of birth but the FACT that his father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth as was required per 4 previous SCOTUS rulings). Voter fraud, racism, the gimme generation and the weak opponents we put up against him led to his election. Any proof of fraud is being pushed under the rug.

Until the primary system is reworked from scratch and we stop pandering to Iowa, we will continue to be given the option of democrat or democrat lite. We must put a true conservative (Rand Paul type) in office. We can not do this unless we learn to come together as conservatives. We also face the challenge of the establishmentarianists. Those in the party that have forsaken their conservative principles for personal gain. John McCain, whom I once considered a hero, has committed treason to his oath of office. Many others have as well to include the entire democrat party.

I spent my first 11 years in Germany and attended base schools (+1 year in a German school) and said the pledge every day. My first car was a jeep DJ5 postal jeep that my father bought just for the sign holders in the doors so he could put political posters in them. I started working polls when I was 14 and had the pleasure of casting my first ballot for Ronald Reagan. Since then, I have become disgusted with what is happening to our nation at the hands of the enemy within. "A fundamental change". That means a change to the founding principles. We have moved from self reliance, hard work and pride to a nation of gimme, Xbox and waiting for the EBT card to be refilled. Those that work for a living buy hamburger while the welfare class eats steak. The time of being embarrassed to use food stamps has turned into pride in milking the system.

We must stand together. Educate your friends about the constitution, the founding principles of this nation, the meaning of self reliance. If we do not, our children will be the ones to suffer and ur nation will collapse. Margaret Thatcher had it right when she said "the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". We are broke and broken. We can not continue unless we restore our founding principles. Hopefully it will not come to armed civil war, but I honestly believe we are not far from it right now.

FWIW I agree with you. A parent's primary concern should be for the present and future welfare of their children. Giving them the tools they need to survive in a soon-to-be hostile environment is paramount IMO. I honestly do not believe a civil war would break out. Not a toe-the-line kind of war anyway. It'll be rag-tag bandit groups taking from the weak, just as portrayed in so many low budget apocalypse films. The military will be useless because (at least I hope) they will be home defending their families from the porch as opposed to overseas in a 3rd world shithole. I do not forsee order being restored for some time if this happens.

Regardless of what I think will happen, something needs to be done to reform this country back to its original mold. This American on American divisiveness promulgated by the political and social climates we live in today is hurling us into an ancient Rome-like state. We all know what happened to them. Voting our way out of this is no longer a solution me thinks. I love movies, and one of my favorite lines is "Bullets change governments far surer than votes". I don't want to see it come to that, but the writing has been on the wall for some time now...in red.
