Uh, no. Because that money *was ours to begin with*

Even if the answer is NO, it was a damn fine post.

America is ON SALE because we cannot make the payments on the mortgage, folks. There is no nefarious plot here because there is no need for one as long as Americans are willing to sell off their future in return for a little convenience now.

Only I think the convenience is over, isn’t it?

I am not in favor of anyone suffering, but when the majority simply refuse to acknowledge reality then maybe it is a necessity. I do not own a big screen TV because I applied to cost that Buffet has applied to the cars he could afford. I am driving towards retirement and nothing that does not contribute is a waste.

If Americans do not want to be dependent on foreign capital (a neutral thing…nothing wrong with it) then quit electing officials who sell votes for benefits (a bad thing) and elect people who understand that OUR economy has to PRODUCE(a good thing)…not just stir crap from one side of the toilet to the other until something interesting floats up.

Efficient allocation of capital? God, what a joke. They make nothing, they do nothing, they improve nothing…sorry, but unless it results in improved production capacity in the economy it ain’t helping America.

You see, I’m from the Gov’t… and we’re here to help. And, unless Gov’t can grow and become increasingly indispensable in the lives of ordinary serf-citizens on the fed plantation, it may have to diminish to the point where rugged individualism, liberty, and freedom of conscience will once again rear its ugly head and stifle true community. After all, it takes a village of international scope to properly build nations and force disciples to further advance the glorious and benevolent kingdom of man on earth.

So, little ones, enough of this rhetoric about the “sameness” of the two parties and cries for alternatives which can only enlighten the duped to the schemes of bondage we have so cleverly designed and deployed; all, of course, in the national best interests. Our plans must not be thwarted and dissent is not needed. So, hush, sweet children and dance to the music of the social sirens. He who pays the piper calls the tune and the nascent utopia is becoming a virtual symphony of epic proportion. Enough futile opposition; come and dance with us; our tune is euphoric, grand, and collective. The Imperial Ballroom is open to the anointed who understand the grand scheme. Oppose at your peril. Dare to expose the plans for a great society before the final act and risk reaping, again, foolish notions of a republic bent on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and other such prattle so antithetical to grander purposes. Only collectivism has the antidote for greed and rapacious self aggrandizement so, only larger, more pervasive gov’t can remediate the ravages of economic disparity. Ask either of the two major parties and they both offer large federal solutions to every aspect of American life. Grand, eh?

Let’s continue our long march through the institutions till we strangle freedom’s life blood from the founder’s vision. We will call the tune and you will dance the waltz of the dazed, the duped, and the dependent. We will glory in your obeisance while we dole out mercies from the national treasure we have arrogated unto ourselves. Repent of these notions of rugged Americanist ideals of individualism, freedoms, and liberties and surrender to the better principles of Corporate benevolence. Your consent and participation is voluntary, of course… just like the 16th amendment. So, let’s hear no more talk of Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, or their ilk. Let them eat cake and Vote McBama.

Isn’t it time we stop deluding ourselves that all this horrific karmic retribution isn’t of our own creation, due to our being atheistic demons, and living according to our own mental concoction; and ignoring the age-old Scriptural tenets such as THOU SHALL NOT KILL, COVET, AND ALSO POLLUTE THE EARTH?!

Time for a real wake-up call, ladies and gentlemen!

I HATE BOTH LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES, and for one very simple reason: Both of them want to restrict personal freedom by criminalizing various types of behavior which, for all intents and purposes, harm no one except (possibly) those who engage in them.

IN PARTICULAR, liberals want to take away my guns, my property rights, my home school, my cigarettes, my fast foods, my unapproved cancer cure, my Confederate flag, my white-pride sticker, my eagle feathers, my moment of silence, my gas-guzzler, and my big flush toilet.

FURTHERMORE, they want to keep me from talking about (or making jokes about) certain racial or ethnic subjects, force me to race-mix, force me to treat people as equals whether I think they are or not, force me to mix with people who have weird diseases (and keep me from knowing who they are), keep me from getting a job or promotion so that somebody with a different hue or sex behavior can get it, appropriate my tax money for their charities and social engineering schemes, and force me to send my kids to schools I wouldn’t send a dog to in order to be indoctrinated in beliefs which are totally opposed to my own.

LIKEWISE, conservatives want to take away my dope, my rock’n'roll, my dirty pictures, my birth-control devices, my abortion doctor, my morning-after pills, my union card, my Harry Potter and evil-lution books, my flag-burning kit, my Third-World friends, my illegitimate kids, and my polygamous wives.

FURTHERMORE, they wish to keep me from engaging in certain forms of intimate behavior in the privacy of my own bedroom, force me to put my life at risk — and use my taxes for — various acts of military adventurism and political power-seeking that I do not agree with, and require me to make reverent noises toward various brands of religion that I may or may not happen to believe in.

AND WHAT IS MORE, both liberals AND conservatives want to tax away my bank account, snoop away my privacy, burn my anti-government literature, and terminate my unfiltered Internet connection.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS: The division between liberals and conservatives is just a trap. It’s a trap because when we get mad at one of them for taking away one kind of freedom, then we elect the other, who then proceeds to take away another kind of freedom. It is time we recognize that there is no real difference between liberals and conservatives in the way they behave — they both want to do away with individual freedom so they can rule as they please.

IN CONTRAST to liberals and conservatives, there is one group which supports freedom wholeheartedly — the libertarians. Isn’t it about time we started supporting them?
