Let me rephrase. "You can't make a good nation out of ignorant and apathetic people who consistently fail to live up to any kind of high standard. Especially when their ignorance is a direct result of their apathy which is a direct result of their selfishness, laziness, etc." Or, more concisely, "You can't make a good nation out of bad people."<br /><br />I don't mean to be picking nits, but the recent election has made it clear (at least to me) that all the "right wing" blogs and TV shows are merely "preaching to the choir" and have utterly failed to reach those outside who need so desperately to change (for their own good as well as ours). Hence the need for a different approach. Hence the need for a more precise definition of the problem. Which is what I'm aiming at here.<br />Gerry Rzeppahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971183189343454844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-78935799415728773832012-12-26T08:54:35.427-08:002012-12-26T08:54:35.427-08:00Lets face the facts, Obama has surrounded himself ...Lets face the facts, Obama has surrounded himself with dolts and tax cheats and Clinton Administration retreads. Half the people he’s nominated to Cabinet positions including the biggest lair of them all, Hillary Clinton. Some others of them have had to back out due to failure to pay taxes, and others have survived their tax failures and settled into their seats of power, expecting you & me to play by the rules that they flaunt. Nancy Killefer was gonna be the new Chief Performance Officer (whatever the fuck THAT is) but she’s a tax cheat. Tom “Dash-hole” Daschle withdrew from consideration as Health & Human Services Secretary. New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson was on the short list to for both State and Commerce, and withdrew over a grand jury investigation into ethics and the awarding of contracts to his supporters.<br />Alleged financial wunderkind Tim Geithner is now the Sec. Treasury, but is such a financial imbecile that he “accidentally” cheated on his taxes due to an inability to operate TurboTax. Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is the latest nominee to the poisoned post of HHS, and she has tax problems. And what in the HELL is Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano doing as Secretary of Homeland Security? Is this a joke?<br /><br />She couldn’t keep illegals out of her own state so how in the hell can we expect her to secure the entire nation? Arizona’s biggest import is Mexicans, followed by dope. Arizona’s biggest export to other states is Mexicans, followed by dope. She has the fucking audacity to call the Global War on Terror a “contingency”, and terrorism is now simply a “man-caused disaster”. What kind of politically correct bullshit is that? Why not just call it an Oopsie, or a Mildly Unpleasant Misunderstanding? And Shrillary Hillay Clinton…her and Obama were at each other’s throats all through the elections, and now they play all nicey-nice as she kow-tows to various foreign hosts and places all the blame for Mexico’s drain-circling on our shoulders. Maybe she’s just purposely assing it up to make Obie look bad? And lest we forget Barney “Buddy Hackett” Frank and Nasty Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein and Dirty Harry Reid…and that embarrassment Joe Biden...gawd, it took 233 years to get us here as a nation, and less than 90 days to derail the American Dream.

Unfortun...This is called "reality hits". Unfortunately, people are so capable of living in fantasy worlds that unless reality really smacks them, they never pay any attention. The reason this is happening is because of that fantasy--we can steal from the rich, give to the rich government and it will all look like heaven on earth if we just all get along. For years, there has been no compromise in Washington and little to no backbone. I notice now that Republicans seem to realize they will be to blame for everything, they are saying "This is what will happen and Obama knows it and wants it." Even the NRA is standing up. If you back people into a corner and they have nothing to lose, no chance at reason, the claws will come out. Backing conservatives into a "you are to blame no matter what" corner may be the only thing that does stop this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-81147851541393583712012-12-26T06:27:03.776-08:002012-12-26T06:27:03.776-08:00@TexasFred:
According to Alan's friend and fe...@TexasFred:<br /><br />According to Alan's friend and fellow blogger - J.D. Longstreet - this country is headed for the Second U.S. Civil War, and if Northeast Intelligence has it right, the author of the coming insurrection is none other Dear Leader Obama acting on the basis of his Marxist religion's central dogma of "The Revolution."<br /><br />We may see CW II fireworks as early as the spring 2013, when economic collapse and anarchy in the cities allow the Feds to declare martial law and attempt to seize all private firearms.<br /><br />If it comes to bloody civil war/revolution in the near term, I fail to see how the Left expects to win in a large country such as this and with a well armed body of millions of intelligent and well educated private citizens (many of whom are veterans) devoted to the U.S. Constitution.<br /><br />However, the stupid, irrational and murderous are all hallmarks of the religious cult of Obama style Marxism.<br /><br /><br />Ronbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-5162610496033726522012-12-26T06:09:23.103-08:002012-12-26T06:09:23.103-08:00Of course Americans aren't bad! Many of them ...Of course Americans aren't bad! Many of them are merely brainwashed and uneducated. What we need is a "march through the institutions" as the liberals did since the sixties. All institutions of society must be retaken, from kindergarten, through middle schools, highschools, colleges, newspapers, media, Hollywood, cultural establishments, etcetera. This is a work that will take a generation or more but is the only way to turn the tide. Let the march begin today!

Leaders are rarely better than the people they lead. Especially when the leaders are chosen by those very same people. And on those few occasions when someone of real character does arise, crucifixion is just around the corner. It's bottom up, Mr. C.
