What really gets my goat is the simple fact that politicians are talking about cutting more government spending, but defense spending is a sacred cow while they fight against more taxes for the rich. We don't need enemies to drop bombs in the US, we're doing a yeoman's job of destroying our country all by ourselves! It's called implosion.
WE??? Are you pregnant, or do you have a mouse in your pocket??? Most of us would love nothing better than to see the country survive and prosper... Those few who use their money to influence government, but will not pay their due taxes with it are robbing the idea of nation of all its meaning... Do you think victory abroad is going to mean squat if we suffer one long defeat at home for it??? Do you think money will mean anything when the rich have it all... Do you think liberty will mean anything when we are all controlled in a police state... Jefferson said enough on the subject... No one likes to change their forms, but when necessity threatense we must threaten necessity right back, if we are still human....those who are demoralized, who have given up are an impediment to all of us... Since we cannot change the government we must change the form of government, not because it is fun, but because it has no meaning, and because we find it necessary...
