Good post there jeepster. Thanks.

Nice post jeepster.

I worked for a company once that built itself to super-regional status over the course of 150 years. It only took about 5 years of mismanagement to dissolve that same company into nothing. It's a testament to this great country that we've been able to endure the past 6.5 years.

Oooh, a YouTube video. That'll show him.

Picture Wiley Coyote chasing Roadrunner over the cliff. Wiley keeps going for a few feet, then suddenly looks down. That's the point where America is right now. What do we do about it? Fall gracefully?

Is that too gloom and doomey for you? I believe the demographics of this country are rapidly changing. 19 million new illegals since 2009. Marijuana increasingly legalized and abused, Mexico flooding America with high grade heroin, 90 million unemployed, tens of millions on disability, our schools are nothing but Marxist indoctrination camps. Everything is bass ackwards. The American people are becoming welfare funded drugged out drop-out losers, quickly being replaced by foreign workers who'll gladly vote for more Marxism because it's anti-America just like Che and Chavez they grew up with, and they were never educated beyond a revenge lifestyle. Our government and its media allies bully us into allowing Muslims to dictate our future.

When Europe was wallowing in corruption and insanity, the people could emigrate to America and start something new. Now where do we go? Mars?

John R, you nailed it. We can make all the feel good videos, and speeches, and petitions we want, might as well be pissing in the river, for all the good that does.
Words without action are just that. Words. We can sit around and ***** to each other on the computer all day long and it doesn't amount to a pinch of sh!t.
We need to show the corrupt politicians that we are tired of the same old run-around.
We need to get off our asses and actually DO something. Maybe if a couple million of us descended un-armed on Washington DC, and demanded action, they might start taking us seriously.
And if that didn't work, or they try and arrest, or open fire on the protestors, then we move it up a notch. This should have been done years ago, before 9/11 and our rights started disappearing. Before they turned the police into auxiliary-military units, arming them with tanks and other weapons more suited to a battlefield, than to policing a city.

I'd like to see what would happen if a sizable portion of Americans refused to do their taxes. A few people would be made examples of, but they can't very well hold millions of people in jail.
Refuse to pay for the atrocities you don't support. And never got a chance to vote for. I realize this probably screws more people than it helps, since most seem to get a refund. Maybe we can plant a seed for next year. This year, we have change our withholding to least amount that can be withheld from our pay checks for Federal Taxes, and then when we file for 2015, we will owe a great deal, and we just don't file a return. If we could get a sizable portion of the rapidly vanishing Middle Class that is being raped to pay for Obama's spending, to take this step, then we might be able to send a message that will be heard.

I think they actually want us to start a Civil War, so the Tyrant can really drop the hammer on the Public, declare Martial law and become the Dictator he wants to be. I am not advocating any type of armed revolution. Just a large demonstration in DC, of people fed up with the current policies of the USA. Show them we mean business and are tired of the same old crap that's been going on for years.

[JohnR]

Actually, if the middle class is vanishing they won't owe taxes in the first place, or owe much less than they did pre-2008.

If we want change, then at this point it will require sacrifice. Are we the equals of our founding fathers, who pledged to sacrifice all?

That question really cuts to the core right there.

[TheTman]

It may not come down to a decision. It may be forced upon us. You don't sacrifice all, all is taken away.

[marcinstl]

sentimental hogwash for the senile. we the people, elected Pres. Urkel twice. they may have had to hold their noses doing that, but they were sending a message to you.

I hate to say it but we are in the minority. The average schmoe doesn't think about this for a nano-second. Yes if/when they finally do, it will be too late. Also consider, the schools do not teach the constitution, so every kid after the Baby Boomers, have no clue. The boomers will die off and the Progressives will win with no resistance. Bye, Bye Miss American Pie

Sadly, you may be right.

I was still with the NYPD during the first election of '08. Although unions nearly universally endorse democrat, as ours did, our rank and file was decidedly conservative and previously had voted as such.

Then came the cult of personality that is Obama and I saw a change, mostly in my black and Hispanic friends and co-workers. They at once sided with him for popularity's sake. When I'd described his past associations, voting record and stated ideology, they were unwilling to believe me as if I were spinning a fantastic tale bent upon character assassination. They admitted to disagree with such policies, "if they were true."

Fast forward to now and these same people who found the truth of Obama so unbelievable, have completely morphed their beliefs and have aligned them entirely with his.

They defended their choice and affection for the man by adopting what they once perceived as lunacy.

There's low information voters and then there's those who only care to get their info from the source of the incredible deceit. For that reason, I say we may be in trouble.

Almost half of this country doesn't pay taxes now...................the people who work get no refunds, the people that sit on their arse get big refunds. That's why our current a hole wants more money from the rich. He knows that this is not a sustainable way to get money to run a larger, more powerful gov't. It won't pay for the welfare, the food stamps, the people that are too "disabled" to work, and suck $800 a month out of your pockets, rent assistance, utilities assistance, free healthcare, and so on. So, we'll just steal it from the rich. We'll call it income equality. They wonder why people send their money overseas. They don't want it taken. He's now talking about taxing the h@11 out of any company with overseas operations. I would not open any business in this country because of the current conditions. They wonder why our economy sucks. I actually question whether any of these gov't "thinkers" were awake during any of their college days. He has surrounded himself with ignorant, stupid, foolish people, who do nothing but come up with ideas on how to make themselves feel good, and think that they are actually doing something prudent for this country. I don't know how they can sleep at night, or look at themselves in a mirror. Pelosi actually thinks she looks good. That's the reality we're faced with...............

location says Wisc. ok, let me guess-- not really from Wisc., nothing to do with farming or cheese(no clue about farm life), nothing to do with manufacturing(anti union, never been on the shop floor), probably don't know much about the Packers, Packer owners or business model, must be making enough to complain about taxes, not enough to be offshore.
here, this is fun, http://taxfoundation.org/article/us-...usted-brackets scroll down to the 1950's and see the 91% tax rate for the 1%'s. what was happening there in the Truman/Eisenhower era, is that the country had to pay off WW2 and since the 1%'s made bundles of money off of the war, they got to pay for it. who is paying for the more recent neocon adventures in the middle east? well, anyway, if it gets real bad for ya, guess you could jump the border at Sault Ste Marie. good luck.
