Are You Angry Yet?

Are you angry yet?  If you are, are you translating your anger into action?  No?  Why not?  Are you waiting for it to get worse?

If you are not angry yet, what will it take?   Let us review…

• Representative government has ended.  My evidence?  Try this… an overwhelming number of Americans were against the original bailouts.  Yet, they passed with significant support from both parties.  How about this… a majority of Americans who actually pay taxes are against the so-called “stimulus package”, which is, in reality, has nothing to do with stimulating the economy and everything to do with paying off the unions, those on the dole, and any other entity that can be converted from a productive member of society into a ward of the state.  Many similar examples could be cited as well.  What does this mean?  Simply this: if you no longer have a representative government (meaning a government by people who represent your stated will), then you are no longer self governing.  Instead, you are ruled (meaning a government that bends you to its will without regard to your wishes).  In short, you have lost much of your freedom.  How can this not make you angry?

• The new administration has now appointed a number of people to cabinet positions who are clearly scofflaws.  The most common offense being a failure to pay all of the income tax they owe.  And, when caught in the act, the best we get is “I’m sorry, I made a mistake”.  As if this is an acceptable penalty for an action that, if committed by you and I, would result in all our assets being seized and possible jail time.  Yet several of these people have actually been confirmed by the Senate – with votes from both parties.  In short, we now have a privileged class.  Equality before the law is gone.  You are now reduced to a lower class of citizenship.  How can this not make you angry?

• Your government is spending trillions of dollars that rightly belong to you.  Most of it either wasted on non-productive handouts or funneled to the very fat cats who severely damaged our economy to begin with.  But, while these are nominally your dollars, the fact is that these dollars represent work not yet performed; productivity not yet realized.  This means that you, your children, your grandchildren are being obligated to perform future work to pay back money long since wasted.  In other words, much (most?) of their future labor will be expended, not for the betterment of their own lives, but to pay for the pork being spread over the land today.  In a word, we and our descendants are being spent into a form of debt slavery.  How can this not make you angry?

I could go on and on but this should serve to illustrate the point.  So, I ask again, what will it take to make you angry?

Have we gotten to that point where, as long as you can watch the Super Bowl and American Idol in high definition and have plenty of salty, greasy crap to eat, then all is good?

Unfortunately, for many Americans, the implied answer is YES.  And, I, for one, have abandoned the idea of educating them sufficiently to make them free.  Instead, I just want to be separated from them.  Let those of us who yearn for a different path, the sort of path our Founders tried to blaze for us, let us have our own part of the country where we can live as we see fit, just as we would let the others have their own part where they can “have it their way” (super-sized and with fries).

So, I plead with you… let us get mad, then let us get out!  Quickly while there is still something to save.

Contact your state representatives.  Demand a constitutional convention and/or succession.  Do it today  — tomorrow there may not be anyone there to contact!!
