Cafeoutdoors.com: Oh Ya ! and another thing

You weren't looking for your communist beliefs to get any sort of validation from MissBud, where you Stoneman?

Griffin, things have to either get MUCH worse, or there has to be a real Constitutional Crisis before things will get "fun". I toss out civil war to make a point, not that I literally think there will be one.

Only about a third of the American colonials supported the revolt against the crown in the Revolutionary War. Vastly fewer ever served. By the time Washington retreated to Valley Forge the Revolution was virtually over, and the Colonists virtually defeated. The soldiers marching through the snow with no shoes represented 2.5% of the able bodied fighting men in America on that Christmas Eve in 1776 (2400 men), but their victory at Trenton that night breathed life into the revolution, swelled the Revolutionary Army into the tens of thousands, and set the stage for Cornwallis’ surrender five years later.

People with full bellies (or as sptsman would say, people who have, whisky, beer nuts, cable TV, and professional sports) aren’t the revolutionary types. That, and, “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

I’m probably one of the first ones to say that “these evils” are insufferable, and I have no doubt that I’d be agitating long before “the people” were on board. I know what war is, and I know that I do not want it here under any circumstances, because I am a sane person. However, if this government is so unafraid of us, and believes itself so all powerful and its corruption so far beyond our ability to correct and reign in, this Republic will continue to become a tyranny, and our society, culture, and economy will continue to decline. Our children will look back at our freedom and glory, and wonder who we traded it away so willingly for the gigantic lie of an inherently evil government that claims it can provide complete security at the small cost of our liberty and prosperity.

We are at a turning point with this leftist, authoritarian President. If we allow this government to gobble up our economy, our freedoms will not be far behind. This President is not tyrannizing us. He is creating the structure and the framework for tyranny to thrive and become imbedded permanently in our government. His goal is not to control us, only to make it possible for men like him to control us in the future. He focuses on the middle class and not the “poor”, because he knows that if he can get the middle class to become as dependant on government largess as the poor have become, with over half a century and generations on welfare and government assistance, he can create enough votes from beneficiaries who will scream if anyone proposes taking away their goodies.

Not only must they be stopped, the federal budget needs to be junked, entitlements eliminated, and this government returned to its Constitutional chains. Either this will happen, or the government will become so powerful (a modern police state), that revolution will become impossible. Idiots like stoneman are cheering this on as if it were some good. It doesn’t even matter to them that they cannot explain it, or even contemplate the cost. They are so convinced that all good things flow from the government, and they hold their neighbors in such contempt that it is not even worth discussing it with them.
