We are a force to be reckoned with

[Guest TurboniumOxide]

I am a gun guy. Formally trained in physics, but i'm a computer programmer; pro since 1976. I am a guy, I like stuff that goes bang. I'm a man, I love women, and God for providing them to make me take out the trash and provide me with loud children that make me belly laugh and demonstrate my faults. I like beer, I like trucks. I like people, melanin deprived or not. If you have an accent I will try to guess where you are from, and want to hear about your guns, women, children and trucks. I will cook meat for you and feed you from my garden; Give you a roof over your head. I will defend you, till the last round. Give my life for you and your family when the **** hits the fan.

I am not your enemy, yet. I am the concrete of America. There are many like me. millions. Hundreds of millions perhaps.

The way I see it is that there is a coup attempt in Washington. Just a few hundred people trying to bully The United States Of America ( you and I ) into hating each other so that they win. Please don't let America die, because I am going to go out with it. I think you know what I mean.

The enemy is on our soil.

Good points all and I would think many on this forum and throughout the country are like you (well, except for that whole physics turned programmer thing ) and are in reality the silent majority. My sincere hope is come the 2010 election and again in 2012, we are not silent and will take the time to vote and turn the tide.

You won't turn the tide by simply voting for the "other party".

Not anymore.

The Dems and the GOP are merely placeholders for each other now.

There is much truth in your post. I am 63 years old; and have been a student of politics since the LBJ era of the sixties. It is my firm belief (as it is yours; i believe) that there is an ongoing war between a small, powerful group of political elites in government, academia, and the "mainstream" media against capitalism and the people who make this country work. These people worship the god of power and covet the ability to control the citizens of this country. Foolish people in the strong democratic regions of the country, the inner cities, the heavy union territories, as well as the socialist nut fringe locations such as california and parts of the northwest have listened to their lies and have elected them. The locations (with the exceptions of the west) are strikingly similar to the civil war alignment. They see the people of this country as serfs to be told what do do and when to do it. They see the citizens of this country as incapable of managing their affairs. They see the money you make and your property as theirs to manage as they see fit. They know best and will tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. They will give you the money you need and distribute it as they see fit. It is a disgraceful socialist, totalitarian world view that no free people should tolerate; nor any polititian dare to try to impose on any free people -- but it is happening now with great rapidity. It is an atmosphere where polititians are openly paying back their constitutiencies, persecuting their political enemies by criminalizing legitimate governmental acts, use the power of the state to intimidate law abiding citizens, and make the dregs of society, the non-productive, the foolish, and the criminal in our society the beneficiaries of government largesse -- buying and selling them like cattle.

Sadly, it seems that whenever you elect a pretty good guy and send him to Washington; it doesnt seem to take long for him or her to begn to take on these autocratic traits that you see prettly regularly in polititians. Many of them seem to forget all too quickly who sent them there and why they were sent. It takes someone who knows who he or she is to resist the temptation to join with this autocratic trash and do the right thing anyway.

I firmly believe that this country is at exactly the same juncture as it was just before the Civil War. Those with a vested interest in subjugating certain sections of our populace are once again trying to impose their will on the unwilling. People need to quit voting with their pocketbooks and start examining the policies and the ends of those policies that are being hoisted on the american people and hold their elected representatives accountable for their votes on these policies. That is why that character and core values are so important when folks evaluate candidates and incumbents in politics. People who have no character and core values can be bought and sold just like what you are seeing now. You can count on them selling you out.

You are exactly right in believing that the enemy is within today. It is dead on. The danger aint the taliban, dirty bombs, suitcase nukes, or militant islam -- it's politics of the brand that is spreading now.

The latest group of this trash that is actively trying to divide the country are in the Democratic party. The "black- white" guilt issue; and the "have-havenot" issue is directly related to Democrat politics and the help of their willing accomplices. This lie has been peddled for the last 80 or so years. It is continually recited in the socialist union ranks and in certain areas within the black community.

It is a lie. This baloney; along with a pitiful campaign by a weak, RINO Republican has given us the most leftist, devisive, overbearing congress and presidency since the Civil War. Elections do, in fact, have serious consequences.

Thankfully, i believe that people are waking up and i hope they will take action at the polls to stem this tide of idiocy and treason.

If you want to fix this problem, hold those in authority responsible for what they do. Character does matter. Let your elected officials at every level know you are watching and are holding them accountable for their actions. If you dont like those actions, vote them out.

Remember the words of Ambrose Bierce: "There are four boxes protecting America, the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box." People need to use the first three we wont have to use the fourth.

Keep up the good work,

No, it won't necessarily turn the tide but not voting is passively accepting others choices. Can anyone say "term limits" for Congress?

[Guest duckdog38]

never vote to get the other guy out, vote your conscience and for the man who best represents you and you have at least one vote for someone who will do your will. if everyone would do this we will get rid of this two sided coin they call the republicans and democrats.

[Guest HexHead]

Maybe this thread should be merged with the "This ain't America no mo'" thread?
