This Republic has strong bonds holding it together, but those bonds will take only so much stress. There are those in both parties who are reckless of the costs of their regaining committee chairmanships. The force that is increasing the stress on the Res Publica are entirely the increased size of government - for government is power, and that attracts those who would wield it.Go and RTWT.
How did that song by the Who go? Oh yeah, "Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss..."
ReplyDeleteI do love me sunshine and kittens, but that's not where the smart money is betting these days.
ReplyDeleteGuys The Republic IS DEAD, gone, KIA. It only lingers as a goast in the mind. The Stockmarket is dead, gone,KIA. It lingers as a goast on the internet. All we do now is mark time till Armogeddon.---- Hows that for makin cloud and killin kittens?
ReplyDeleteSad to say...but the Republic IS dead. It died when Congress let the various departments enforce regulations just like laws. So...we get "laws" without the benefit of representation.
ReplyDeleteNo "fees" without representation...how's that for a revolution slogan. :-(

ReplyDeleteThis is a good part of the tinder that has been piled up by the .gov here in the USA. When (not if) those idiots finally light it off, they are going to be very surprised by the results.
They, as most citizens, don't think it can happen here. That is exactly WHY it can, and will, happen.
So NOW do I *need* to buy s'more ammo, or what?
