Read My Lips-No World Order!
George
Bush Sr.: “Read my lips, no new taxes.”
Bill
Clinton: “I did not have sex with that
woman.”
George
Bush Jr.: “The Patriot Act will protect
you.”
President
Obama: “If you like your plan, you can
keep it”
The
American people are accustomed to being lied to and bamboozled by elected
officials and yet, true to form, they continually reelect the same parties into
office as if anything will change.
Americans
also seem to enjoy keeping political dynasties in place such as the Kennedy’s,
the Bush’s, the Clintons, etc. Can
anyone tell me why Ted Kennedy never served a day in jail after he got drunk,
crashed his car and drowned his girlfriend?
Despite
a litany of promises, things continue to worsen in this country. We still have under employment, crap wages,
stupid invasive laws, no privacy, diminished freedom, massive debt, no control
over our own fiat currency, our infrastructure is still crumbling, red tape
which strangles jobs and business…
Nothing
changes regardless of which party is in office.
Voters never seem to wise up.
Where
our nation once spread liberalism and laissez-faire policies, it has replaced
it with the will of the state, the welfare community. Indeed, the march of democracy has been
thrown to the curb and replaced with authoritarianism and control of every
aspect of the individual.
The never-ending-solution to every problem is
to throw more money at it…that worked well for Detroit, didn’t it? Fifty years of democratic rule in that city
ruined and bankrupted it.
All socialism involves slavery.... That which
fundamentally distinguishes the slave is that he labors under coercion to
satisfy another's desires. Oppressive taxation is a form of slavery of the
individual.
We
have 51 Departments of Education in this nation and spend more money on public
schools than any other country. That
hasn’t worked out so well has it?
We
have more laws on the books and more people in jail than any other nation, yet
our President seems to have no idea what the rule of law is. In fact, he’s never had a real job, never
been responsible for a payroll or served a day in the military. This has become the norm for many career
politicians who think a lifetime of feeding at the public trough is a good
thing.
I
laugh when I read of politicians [such as Dingel of Michigan] who are finally
retiring after 50 years of so-called service.
Career politicians like him are the reason this country is broke and our
rights diminished.
In
my estimation, what is truly sad is just how damned stupid people have
become. Too damned lazy to think about
politics and too busy getting high or watching the next mind-numbing ‘reality’
show or sporting event – [get a clue guys, it is no longer a sport but big
business].
Since
2005 we’ve lost 15% of our middle class and 40% of the value of our money. Doesn’t anyone think it might be a good idea
to dump that banking cartel known as the Fed and resume printing our own money
again?
Does anyone
give a damn?
Your
life and finances are a completely open book to the government [at every
level], yet try getting the government to share information or try getting the
NSA to stop wasting our tax money with its domestic spying program.
Good
luck – the government does not give a damn about your concerns. We all know, or should know by now that the
primary concern of most politicians is feathering their own nest.
In
most respects, our government has become just another Cartel, teamed up with
Wall Street to squeeze the little guy.
Back in the 1950s and early 1960s corporations paid the majority of US
income taxes. That burden was shifted to
the middle class and now many corporations pay little or no US taxes [but they
sure love shipping our jobs overseas].
The Power Trip
The
revolving door [working for the government, then getting a cushy Wall Street
job] has become an all too common American cliché.
Politicians
and bureaucrats alike ensure laws and policies that are favorable to their favorite
corporations [the ones who bankroll campaign chests and employ the family of
elected officials]...
Indeed,
power, both corporate and political, has been concentrated in fewer hands
during the past 40 years. Both democrats
and republicans have passed laws which make it extremely unlikely for any third
party to succeed. [this is called
occupational birth control, a practice long favored by many professions such as
the law business].
Consider
the food industry is now operated by a few multi-nationals such as Nestle and
General Foods. The powerful
pharmaceutical industry players equal about six and they have purchased most of
Congress [which is why Americans pay the highest prescription prices in the
world].
The
media is now concentrated into about five groups [down from more than 100 when
I attended journalism school] and have become lap dog house organs for the
political parties. Today’s media
wouldn’t know a good political expose or documentary if it bit them on the ass.
We
have fewer and fewer banks as the merger frenzy continues in the United
States. When the massive government
bailouts were created, most banks found it more profitable to sit on all that
Fed money rather than loan it out to business…never mind that it was the
foolishness of Wall Street that crashed our economy.
As
always, Wall Street got the bailouts while main street got stuck with the
bills.
Finally,
as I’ve been saying for 30 years [and rightfully so] things continue to head
south for our country and for its citizens thanks to the greed that drives the
Washington-Wall Street Cartel. I wonder
what might be left for my grandchildren…it is pretty obvious they will not
inherit a better lifestyle.

Oh you are so spot on - there is and will be no order so long as the majority of the sheep are asleep at the wheel!
