drew03cmc Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 CC, you win again! Now, how do we go about abolishing this form of government without being hanged for treason? I am all for it, although if it means getting killed...um...start without me for now please. Let me work up my guts. Who wants to devise a plan to do this and not get caught with our pants down (no Clintonian pun intended). Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It COULD be done at the ballot box, but I've about given up on the American electorate ever surrendering their apathy long enough to take carefully considered concerted effort. The vast majority of voters vote their pocketbook, principles seeming to have died along with the Founding Fathers. A few election cycles in which EVERY incumbent was removed from office for non-performance to his constituencie's wishes would make new office seekers far more responsive, even eager to please, so that they might retain their own place at the trough. Once that was accomplished then a national referendum demanding a return to Constitutional principles would be feasible. Oddly, for the current era, we have a strict Constitutionalist, Ron Paul, running for President right now, but Mainstream Media is giving him the cold-shoulder as is to be expected from the leading exponents of Socialist globalism. If his popularity continues to increase (one poll had him at 50% among Republican voters last week) I fully expect to see the same sort of full-court press at character assassination that media did on Joseph McCarthy. I've been half-heartedly following his career for several years since the fact that a strict Constitutionalist even managed to get elected was such a surprise. But I have recently discovered that he is a long-time associate of Ross Perot. I think that leaves a bit of hope that he will prove more than a single voice crying in the wilderness. But I hold little hope that he will be elected even if he doesn't meet with the sort of strange 'accident' that have historically befallen so many who opposed the Clintons. I suspect that ultimately things will just continue to worsen for the 'average joe' until such time as a mass upwelling of anger brings about a bloodbath. That is the normal outcome of repressive forms of government. Sorry for the gloomy picture.

drew03cmc Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Not to sound sexist, but this country is not even near ready for a woman president, or an African American for that matter. Segregation is still happening, and women's rights movements are still happening around the country. Until everyone can get along and not have to have mock funerals burying a word that is thrown around so freely in the sect of society that is trying to bury it, we will not be ready for a minority in office. CC...your signature is the very reason this country is in as much crap as it is. People have changed their ideals of what this country is about from what it was intended to be 231 years ago. What particular accidents have occurred to those opposing the Clintons? Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcoberley Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 CC Amen to that. I have preached that all my life and all I have to show for buying American is an empty pocket. But as I have seen in my life, and I am ashamed to say, Greed is wining the war. Fish slow and easy! Borrowed this one from..........Well you know who!

gonefishin Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 It would be nice to get people to boycott. Problem is if they won't boycott the price of gas for even one day there is no chance of getting them to boycott unsafe food, meds and other products. Sad I would rather be fishin'.
