From Four Right Wing Whackos comes this link to an article in “American Thinker“. It’s not a “ha-ha” article. It is thoughtful, measured and well written and it discusses what’s happened to our country. Here’s a teaser quote:
Put all this together, and what we have in our country today isn’t a democracy and it isn’t a free-market economy. Reader, what we have now is a revolution.
This revolution won’t be stopped, and our country won’t be rescued, by the Republicans in Washington. This isn’t because they lack the votes. It’s because most of them are careerist hacks who’ve been playing footsie with the Democrats for too long(emphasis mine. MC); with very few exceptions they lack the intellectual firepower to articulate the present danger, and the political courage to stand up to this Administration and really fight. But for the absence of frock coats and pince-nez glasses, these Republicans in Washington remind me of those bumbling Weimar Republic politicians in Berlin who never grasped where Hitler and the Nazis were going until it was too late to stop them, or of those hapless Mensheviks in Moscow’s Duma who let themselves be tossed into history’s dustbin by Lenin and his Bolsheviks. (Yes, of course I realize it’s explosive to keep bringing up the Nazis and the Bolsheviks in an essay about the Democrats. I’m not doing this to be incendiary; I’m doing this to be accurate.)
A saying I use all too often is “When all is said and done, much will be said, but little done.” That’s exactly what we’ve been getting from what passes for “leadership in the Republican Party. We get the kind of speech one expects from amoral polticians, i.e., “I’m going to Washington to FIGHT for your rights.” when what they’re actually doing is going to Washington to TALK and make deals, and stand in the halls and smile and pat the backs of ENEMIES of freedom who sit on the other side of the aisle.
We’re past the point of mere differences of opinion about a little pork here and there. We’re looking past the point of “the enemy at the gates” We’re at the point where the wall has been breached and the hordes are pouring through into the city, pillaging and destroying our shining city on a hill.
And we get talk.
I am almost hoping the world does end on DEC. 21, 2012.
The ignored and under, or unreported facts:
1. Firearm and ammunition sales are higher than normal.
2. Millions of people gathered around the entire nation to protest government spending and lack of representation.
3. Long term debt is becoming increasingly discouraged.
These things should send a clear message that the supposed apathetic U.S. citizen is concerned and preparing for the worst. The vast, silent majority is stirring and stretching. The Socialists have awakend a sleeping giant.
