People in this country need to do some serious soul-searching and ask ourselves: What should the purpose of government be? Over the past few generations, (most) people have decided that they want a government that is all things to all people. Look what we've gotten with that attitude. We have tried the "big government" approach. It has failed. It has left our country bankrupt and under a crippling debt, destroyed our currency, annihilated our civil liberites, nearly wiped out the middle class, given government totalitarian powers over our relationships, wallets, property, and privacy. It has filled our prisons with nonviolent "criminals". It has destroyed our respect on the world stage.
But do you know what I fear the most? I fear that when the dollar crashes, we go into inflationary freefall, and unemployment reaches 20%, instead of scaling back government, people will demand even MORE government. PREACH ON! People will demand MORE and the ones opposing it will look to the very same government to "fix" it! America won't even take to the streets though. We've become too soft. Look what's going on in Spain and Italy...Iceland did it and look at them! Yeah, DC is gonna fix everything...why they have to. After they give the free stuff away that is. They ought to set up the gallows now and start holding senators, congressmen, lobbyists and judges accountable for the treason they're perpetuating on this nation. Then kick the Kenyan King to the curb. Here's a joke with a tinge of truth to it... A guy stopped at a local gas station and, after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind him and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was 25 feet behind filling in the hole. The men worked right past the guy with the soft drink and went on down the road.
"I can't stand this," said the man, tossing the can into a trash container and heading down the road toward the men. "Hold it, hold it," he said to the men.
"Can you tell me what's going on here with all this digging and refilling?"
"Well, we work for the government and we're just doing our job," one of the men said. "But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up.
You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the taxpayers' money?"
"You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: me, Elmer and Leroy. I dig the hole, Elmer sticks in the tree, and Leroy here puts the dirt back. Elmer's job's been cut... so now it's just me an' Leroy.I digress...the problem is Alex Jones though???...yeah, that's the ticket! The guy strikes out more than he gets a hit but I'd rather stand beside a guy that fully understands just what his rights are than a full court tard like Joe Biden! That walking joke makes ALL Americans look bad.
