It has gotten worse since LBJ and one might even argue FDR, sans a super intermission led by the greatest generation who just got done kicking the world's ass and wasn't going to put up with an ounce of commie crap from anyone.<br /><br />But too many have once again slid into complacency, dependency, apathy, ignorance, and downright communist indoctrination.<br /><br />It's certainly not my intent to be a downer, just to try to define the problem, for it isn't possible to solve a problem that hasn't been defined yet as I'm sure none of this is news to you.<br /><br />Good luck to us.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-18051560393572646712010-10-12T07:19:39.138-07:002010-10-12T07:19:39.138-07:00Kid:

At best, we've seen the error of our ways, and we'll roll back all of this socialist idiocy.<br /><br />If we look at human history, we'll note that great civilizations rose and fell because humans were humans. Recently, (relatively speaking),we can look at Rome: their decadence did them in (bread and circuses), that' what the people wanted, and by Jupiter, that's what the Caesars gave 'em. Sound familiar?<br /><br />Or even more recently than that, the Weimar Republic in post WWI Germany: decadence galore, morality was completely out of vogue, and we all remember the inflation that toppled that regime. <br /><br />Do we ever learn from history?<br /><br />Nope, apparently not. But there's always a bit of hope, since we still have that tattered, battered document that every once in a while is referenced: the U.S. Constitution, and none of those other guys had anything close.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-76116614712119150162010-10-11T18:47:13.511-07:002010-10-11T18:47:13.511-07:00Fredd, Ditto.

As much damage as they do, I would hate the shoot them.<br /><br />I was talking to some friends today, and realizing that even Ronald Reagan didn't turn back the clock on any of carter's evil, let alone lbj or the rest of it, I'm not the least bit optimistic that a republican majority will be anything other than an intermission in the commie take over...Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-37161592912882963782010-10-11T14:37:54.189-07:002010-10-11T14:37:54.189-07:00Kid:

And remember, the libs are the ones that don't like guns.<br /><br />In other words, we got the numbers, and we got the guns, if it comes to that. Which I hope it doesn't, but just speaking for myself, I am armed and know how to use guns.<br /><br />If, God forbid, an armed revolution comes out of all of this horrible crap the left has been jamming down our throats, I just wonder how things will shake out.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-2845572955366498002010-10-10T19:23:47.920-07:002010-10-10T19:23:47.920-07:00I agree, as I've posted before, the good, bad ...I agree, as I've posted before, the good, bad and ugly.<br /><br />We will need as much a dictator on the right as we had on the left. <br /><br />All this crap needs repealed. All these bills contain unknown (by us) clauses that will serve as ammo caches anytime the commies are in power. <br /><br />If by some miracle we get one, it may spark a civil war of sorts. I would not be the least surprised to see the left go bonkers violent. Random acts of destruction, vandalism, and gang violence on the unfortunate conservatives finding themselves way outnumbered. The libs have definitely been energized and I don't see them going away quietly.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-2693009491910049262010-10-10T18:11:25.821-07:002010-10-10T18:11:25.821-07:00Fredd, you ain't wrong.
