Last gasp for breath, I think

So, what have we seen from the Democrats so far concerning Iraq, Iran and our loss of liberty from the current administration? Nothing. Exactly what I had expected.

Four months of non-binding resolutions and “we support our troops” side-speak to cover the amazing pork flying through the war appropriations bills, does little to make one believe that the course of this country is going to change any. If you voted Democratic in hope that they would fight against the Republican march, you’ve were duped.

To be bluntly honest, I’ve given up all hope that the republic remains.

King George’s grab for power has turned us into a monarchy for all extents and purposes, and the Democratic held congress presents but a pretense of resistance.

Republicans are drag-queen liberals, they talk the talk of classical Jeffersonian Republic philosophy, but embrace the tenants of socialism underneath. The largest expansion of federalization has always, consistently, come from the Republican party. The only difference between the Democratic and Republican goals, are that the Democrats are at least open about their socialist/dictatorial agenda.

When I look at the shit handed to us on a silver platter, paid for with our money and blood, bandied about like it was fine caviar given to us out of the goodness of the government’s heart, I want to cry. Our civil and natural liberties are just so much song and dance now - as nothing is really left of the Bill of Rights. We never stood up for it. Now they are mere privileges which will be yanked away from us if we stir the boat too much or too often.

The Framers of this country went to war for a lot less than the atrocities forced on us, which has also deflated any hope I had that the American Idle are going to actually wake up and do anything. It gets worse and worse and we just beg for more.

“Please sir, may I have another?

In short: we’re screwed - and there’s no turning things around now. The new American Empire will forge ahead, until the Federal Reserve collapses like a cheap balloon and there is no choice left but revolution. It will be bloody and vulgar, as the country which now consumes 40% of the Earth’s resources (while possessing 6% of the population) suddenly becomes just another banana republic, with no clout and no buying power. We are simply a mirror of the last days of Rome.

Well, at least it was an interesting ride getting here.
