You think I'm paranoid, right?

Not so much...  this time on American Thinker.

What does a patriot do now?

Best Description

"Capitalism harnesses human self-interest.  Socialism exhausts itself

trying to kill it. 

Leftist politicians, who seize and dole-out other  people's

assets, initially see themselves as humanitarians.  

Eventually,  they

conclude they are a superior class, and treat themselves accordingly. 

They  make

laws to which they are not subject.  They vote themselves, and their

stooges, exclusive privileges and benefits.  

They no longer 'serve.'   They rule!"

-- Bowles

He Gets It

One of my favorite authors. You can see why:

"[O]nce a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader -- the barbarians enter Rome."


-- Robert A. Heinlein

A Rant...

I wrote this in a huff...to someone who continues to play the "party" game, where membership in a political party is more important than the survival of the nation:

It really isn’t about Republicans and Democrats, gentlemen. Both can be, are, and have been anti-American, big-government, greedy, fat-cat idiots.

It’s about Conservative/Libertarian, i.e., small, constitutionally limited government, versus big-government & their crony fat-cat corporate blood-suckers (of whatever persuasion)...using government to benefit themselves at the expense of others.

It is unfettered POWER of government gone amok that is the problem. And THAT is what is wrong with Obama and all his “progressive” minions...and other liberal idiots. They, BY DEFINITION, see government as a tool they can control and use to their own benefit, and punish those they disagree with.

Conservatives/Libertarians understand that as George Washington said, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

There are, no doubt, Republicans who would like to use big government to advance their personal/social/religious/monetary agendas. That is antithetical to Conservatism. Conservatives—whether Democrat or Republican—are, BY DEFINITION, against any government grown beyond the limits delineated by the Constitution.

That is the ground we have to fight on...between those that believe government is the solution....and those that know government is the PROBLEM.

The government needs to get out of the pockets of ALL Americans. It needs to stop taking the rightful property of those that earn it...whether rich, poor, middle-class, Republican or Democrat.

It isn’t about what letter is after your name. It’s about whether you want to be a free citizen or a serf.

And ALL Americans used to know that.

Not bad for an angry rant, if I do say so myself.

The Consistent Argument against the Perpetual Enemy

This was made the year I was born. And nothing needs to be changed to apply it to what's happening today. The same scumbags have been trying to steal our freedom and our human dignity for at least 100 years. And "John Q. Public"....today known best as a Tea Party Patriot is once again the one that sees the danger and is shouting "STOP!"
