The Revolutionary War Was Started Over Less
February 13th, 2009 at 7:34 am by BrianWho can mobilize enough people for a March on Washington against the porkulus bill? It is clear by Harry Reid’s addition of an $8+ Billion light rail from Las Vegas to Los Angeles that the wish list keeps growing and there is no standard for Arlen Spektre or the RINOs in name that reign mainly from Maine to ever oppose it.
I would argue that this bill is so large that it demands consent from the public in the form of a special election. San Fran Nan’s grin has had more cuts made to it than the bill has.
It’s pitchfork and torch time. If Congress doesn’t listen to us then it should be burnt to the ground. It would still be exponentially cheaper to rebuild than our entire economy after this legislative abomination wrecks it.
UPDATED: Instalanches sure ain’t what they used to be. Especially when running through Klanheider’s by proxy (got to do that part to promote those paid bloggers, right Insty?)
Seeing as how our Cadillac Congress is about to t-bone our Kia economy at the intersection of Don’t Look and Don’t Care, let this be the first and loudest call to abolish Washington, D.C. in it’s current form.
The technology now exists that our Senators and Congressmen should never have to leave their home states. They can Skype or secure chat anywhere in the world for pennies without having to hire staff in another city, maintain overhead and most importantly – escape the prying eyes of the people they neglect to represent. Or cheat on their wives and families when they find that special intern 1/4 of their age or start feeling Fred Astaire in the bathroom stall of an international airport.
For those of us who work for a living, we’re too busy worrying about losing our jobs to take a few days off from work to yell and hold up goofy signs about how our government is giving us the royal screwjob. We’re not all Cindy Sheehans and Code Pinks or trustfund anarchists who can go sit in a ditch for four months.
Here in Tennessee, we had our revolt when the white coated government jackboots tried to fit us in the state income tax straitjacket. Rocks were thrown. Threats were made. A good time was generally had by all except for the wiser-than-thou pols.
Love us. Fear us. Just don’t tread on us.
Today we got the tread.
Now smile and say “Government Cheese”.
Final Update: I’d also like to point out the general failure of well funded so-called conservative organizations, talk radio and the like who could not coordinate a national protest if their lives depended on it. A FEMA worthy effort. *applause*

First, just start with this abortion of a bill. It’s a big assload of spending on all the socialist programs Nancy McBotox Pelosi has been dreaming of for years. Throw in the fact that the Donks have shut the GOP out of the process. Then throw in the broken promises (Donks promise to put the bill online 48 hours prior to vote – and they’re still throwing more of their shit into it).
They are stealing billions/trillions from the American public and future generations. And they’re doing it behind closed doors and they’re keeping the public from knowing what they’re up to.
On the bright side, we get $13 per week extra.
Sonsofbitches. I guess this is CHANGE. Fuckers.

Scythes. You forgot scythes. No capitol-storming mob is complete without a good supply.

The Great American Wimp has become too pussified to do anything about it. By all means, let’s continue to socially engineer Men to be weak emasculated feminized eunuchs. Fight a Revolution? Boys/Men of the the last few generations were drugged by Feminists and not even allowed Recess at school. Their crime was being male. So, maybe you can get some radical feminists to fight?
I’ll stand back and laugh.

It seems to be that there is a basic misunderstanding here. The actions the government is taking are endorsed by a close majority of the people. You might be able to take some pitchforks and torches to a group of politicians who are ignoring the will of the people, but you can’t take those same pitchforks and torches to rail against the majority of the citizenry.
The fact that the Republican Party nominated both Bush AND McCain means that most of the GOP primary voters want socialism as well. They just want it to sneak up on them with a southern twang and a sprinkling of Jesus juice on it.
I’m taking the money I’d spend on pitchforks and putting it down on some property in the Caymans.

Sadly, there is much truth to what Michael says. Bush/McShame were Socialists as well, they were just mini-Socialists. They were bad enough, but now we have black Lenin. Oh well, what is property going for in the Caymans these days? Or perhaps New Zealand.

We could gather 20 million on the mall grounds in protest, but it’d get nary a mention on any MSM broadcast. However, put a couple of lib wack jobs on a street corner protesting a marine recruiting office and you’ll get hundreds of cameras, reporters with satellite trucks and live feeds, a forest of microphones to pick up their every incoherant utterance.

I don’t have the kind of moolah to buy caribbean property, but I sure as hell have the kind of moolah to buy a nice catamaran to live on. I suspect that watching the implosion of the U.S. from a tropical anchorage will be kinda bittersweet.

Do you think that whole Kanjorski thing was just some kind of lie to scare us into submission? Or was there really a run on the banks? Because if what Kanjorski said was true, then this isn’t a just a capitalism vs. socialism thing…it’s just the congress in panic mode doing all the terrible things a government does when a country is really in crisis, and then what’s the point of marching on Washington and demanding they stop this stimulus bill if we’re simply screwed and our economy is going to collapse no matter what? We may need to save our calories, and our gas money.
I’m in a low place.

BTW, my friend in Australia has a nice home, but their economy is in deep shit too. Don’t know about New Zealand.

Economies always cycle between boom and bust. No matter what the Fed would like to think, the Business Cycle still exists. Once you understand that there will always be a recession around the corner you start to plan for it.

Excellent question, Michele. If it’s true, it’s canned goods and ammo time, no matter what. If it’s not true, it’s just another lie in the long string of lies that we’ve been fed by the Feds for years – yes, that includes both parties, for you sheeple who can’t get past the R/D thing.

Brian, we think alike!
I posted very similar thoughts on FR last night.

I believed Kanjorski,btw. He sincerely looked freaked out. I’d rather he was lying and that we won’t have to dig into the survival food we’ll have the pleasure of impeaching him and voting all of the incumbents out.

Saddle up, boys and girls.
We didn’t sign up for socialism.

Buy guns; lots of guns; while you still can. And don’t forget the ammo.
