We Can Only Watch And Wait...

Jimmy - Nice to be the optimist, but there is a difference - and we'll find out pretty soon. If they're merely incompetent, we can start fixing things next year. If they're 'treasonously nefarious', there's no reason to assume that they haven't already planned the next step. Look at what they've already managed: demonize Bush (and Republicans); create an economic crisis; install Barack Hussein Obama; spend the dollar and country out of existence; have congressmen and women vote for unpopular programs without (seemingly) caring what happens in the next election.

I ask myself, Will there be a next election? Will it matter who we elect? Obviously, the Dems don't seem to give it a thought. Could it be they know more than we do? Maybe, they know that democracy in America has already played itself out. There's nothing in it for the likes of Mr. Smith anymore. All that’s left is the jackals that feed off the comatose corpses of taxpayers.

That's why they're in such a hurry to go for that last big score. By the time the next election rolls around, all you'll see is tumbleweeds. I think a lot of this is already known in and around Washington. That's why they can be so blatant about ignoring us; that's why they feel they can serve up outrage after outrage: sending our troops into battlefields wearing straight jackets; raising taxes; cutting services; continuing to threaten doomsday (global warming), even though it's been exposed as a crude hoax.

To my mind, the only way they can think they can get away with it is by knowing that he American people have already been cut out of the political process. They know we are living under an oligarchy made up of leftist elites and ideologues; and they have already made the adjustment. The intrigue can be expected to continue exclusively at the top. We have no power to intervene. We can only watch and wait while they strangle each other to death.

Under Siege

The point is, something ugly happened at Fort Hood. There were clues and indications earlier that should have been heeded. Just like there were clues and indications before 9/11/01. We learned something from 9/11/01. We now check all airline passengers and their carry-on bags.

You mean to say we've learned nothing from the Fort Hood massacre; that we will continue conducting business as usual? That we will continue with our hands tied, sporting blindfolds as PC demands?

Have we not learned from this that the enemy is among us; that all of us must now be considered ‘suspects’? Have we not learned that we are a nation at war with itself? Do we still harbor the illusion that there are not those here who wish to destroy us? This thing is bigger than Muslims vs. infidels; Democrats vs. Republicans. This is about people who are determined to wipe out the very essence of a nation and enslaving its population under a yoke of insurmountable debt leading first to chaos, then to oligarchy… gulags for the rest of us.

Yes, you might say, socialism works in other places. You might even say that communism works okay in China. So what's the big deal? The big deal is that America is not a place where socialism or communism can work. These are alien concepts to who we are. Forcing these on us would kill us. You can't give type 'A' blood to a type 'B' (blood) person and expect him to survive.

Still you persist. You ask, "Why can't we be like China? They're successful; they're on the ascent. So what's the loss of a little freedom here and there as long as no one goes hungry and nobody dies?" The difference is this: The Chinese leadership for all its failings is saved by some sense of national pride. A large part of its concern is doing what it truly believes is best for the country. There are chasms of (differences of) opinion that exist within this narrow but significant mandate, but it's enough to earn the people's trust. The overwhelming majority is willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt with respect to the choices it makes.

In America today there is overwhelming doubt by the majority of the people that their government is actually on their side; that it can be counted on to protect them. Americans feel like hostages, totally at the mercy of the thugs who have taken them hostage. Every incident, such as the one at Fort Hood, in which ordinary Americans are killed is played out against the backdrop of Americans (in general) feeling that they are under siege. So far, there is no rescue party in sight - only a faint glimmer of hope that the next election cycle will be sufficient to put an end to this nightmare of uncertainty and loss.
