The question is how many of us are there that think there is a need for some type of recourse?

I am tending to believe that our educational system has poisoned the well of liberty and freedom.


As I’m sure you have seen, even on this forum we have people who believe that the murder of Ashli Babbit was justified. We have Holocaust deniers and those who believe that Capitalism is inherently corrupt. We have angry, resentful people who would be thrilled to see the destruction of the USA and all that it represents. They believe that you and I stole from them something that they never had.

These people are not even cognizant of the fact that the only thing that allows them to freely espouse their belief is the very system that they hold in such deep contempt.

These people are so driven by hate that they have freely given away their greatest power to a criminal syndicate that they expect will steal from us the hard earned fruits of our labor. What they don’t understand is that when the spoils are divided up, they will not even be in the room.

We have been sold out by our neighbors. They still believe they will receive a few pieces of silver. They are in for an unpleasant surprise.

The point of my post above is that there are many who, whether driven by ignorance or evil, either voted for Biden or for a third party candidate knowing full well that that would tip the scales in favor of Biden. They chose the path we are now on, with their eyes wide open.

To right the ship will be a monumental, if not futile undertaking.

I dont think it can be righted anymore, if it ever was fully upright.

The problem, at the root...is the concept of democracy. While it may have started with good intentions, it really is nothing more than mob rule and an inherent enemy of liberty and freedom. There are those out there who feel they should have a say and power in every single aspect of your life right down to when and how often you fart, and they are going to get their power OR ELSE. The economic problems we are seeing are just the fall-out from the root cause.

To fix things, you need to go right back to prohibition in the 20's (and before) and entirely eliminate this idea that the individual can be micro-managed by the herd simply because somebody is ooooffffeeeendddeedddd or dooeeesssnnttt liiikkkkeeee. You need to re-train and entire society to "live and let live" and MYOFB...and thats just not human nature in groups past a few with enough distance between them.

There was a time when it was on a course more true than any other society in the history of human existence.

This is why we have a republic rather than a democracy.

This is why the US Constitution was designed to limit government and insure individual freedom.

There are two root causes to the current economic problems.

The economy has been artificially manipulated to put pressure on certain segments of the population, in order to force a specific outcome.

Wealth is being redistributed, but not to those that the well-meaning but ill informed, rank and file left would like to see as beneficiaries. It is being transferred from the middle class to our criminal overlords.

As I said above, to fix this we need a free press and free and open elections.

I have heard it said many times, even on this forum:

The Constitution does not need to be rewritten. It needs to be reread.

You're asking the guy who will turn on you and call you a White supremacist. Did you just call him "willie"?

Our Constitution was founded on that! What are we going to do about it?! It's over!!! Nobody is allowed to deviate thoughts, ever! We need thought police just as powerful and just as well trained as real police!

It's uncanny how you don't even realize you're talking about you.
