The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society." --
John Adams (1735-1826), 2nd President of the United States
"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." --Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), 3rd President of the United States
First things first: Mitt Romney did not
lose the election, it was
stolen from him. All the the finger pointing and "blame game" rhetoric aside, Obama's win was in no small part accomplished through
massive election fraud. Common sense
suggests it, history
supports it, and pre-election numbers
confirm it.
The corrupt propaganda outlets, otherwise known as the "news media," started their spin stories immediately -- blaming Romney's loss on Karl Rove, the Tea Party, Romney's liberalism, Romney's conservatism, Hurricane Sandy, bad karma and fell stars. All of which serve as smoke and mirrors to obfuscate the elephant in the room --
massive election fraud.
I personally felt (feel) heartsick, nauseated, and infuriated by the theft of our liberty, but I can hardly call it a surprising, or indeed unexpected, turn of events. It is also to be expected that the collectivist Left will ridicule and demonize anyone who attempts to point out the truth -- what else can you expect from them? It is their MO; it is what they do -- lie, cheat, steal, and ridicule. And to put it into Chicago thugeeze -- "There ain't nothin' you can do about it, chump." Is there?
You want to appeal to our judicial system?
Good luck with that. You might want to ask Representative
Allen West how well that
works -- or ask any of the numerous folks who have tried to prove in court
Obama's ineligibility to be POTUS. They are told that they have "no standing," or whatever lame excuse
du jour is operative. "We the people" have a judicial system that is not only unconcerned with the fact that we have a POTUS whose records remain under lock and key, but we have a judicial system that has actively aided and abetted in this treason.
You want to appeal to our
Department of Justice? Oh puh-leeze.
Congress? Ditto. Our
military? Afraid not -- they have largely lost whatever honor and integrity they once had, and think of their oath to defend the US Constitution as some sort of quaint and irrelevant nuisance -- if they think of it at all. They are a slap in the face to those who honorably served America before them. (
Colonel Terry Lakin,
CMDR Walter Fitzpatrick III, and a relative handful of others excepted).
You want to use your ballot to "vote the bums out?" Your vote is now irrelevant, or have you not been paying attention? So, what to do, and where to turn? Perhaps all that "we the people"
can do is bear witness to John Adams' prophetic words: "The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."
I support and salute those who carry on the fight for freedom and the restoration of the United States to a free republic -- but it is what it is. Personally, I will continue to stand tall for liberty, and I would never count out the efficacious effects of the divine hand of Providence, but I am afraid that the odds are that "we the people" will watch the end of
humanity's grand experiment with "government of the people, by the people, and for the people," and it will perish from this earth during our watch. By the look of things, it is going to go rather quietly -- to paraphrase
T.S. Eliot:
This is the way our freedom ends
This is the way our freedom ends
This is the way our freedom ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
