“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.”
You’ve got to be 7 kinds of stupid to be bribed with your own money!
It is remarkable that our Republic has endured as long as it has, given the constant onslaught of tyranny against our natural right to liberty. So far, our republic still stands. But will it continue to survive as we go beyond the abject stupidity of allowing ourselves to be bribed with our own money, and embrace the consummate evil of allowing ourselves to be bribed with our grandchildren’s money?
This is not just the end of the Republic, but the end of morality itself. Having accepted the confiscation of one’s neighbors’ money to feather one’s own nest, I guess it was inevitable that some among us should actively encourage the plunder of their own grandkids’ futures. This turns the primary obligation of parenthood on its head.
If my neighbors would content themselves with their own grandkids’ unrealized potential and leave mine alone, as much as I would chide them for it and pray for their grandkids, I could at least comfort myself that my own grandkids’ future was secure. But, of course, they are not content with the plunder of their own kids’ future earnings, but insist on plundering my kids’ future earnings as well.
In addition, the degree of plunder we are dealing with here will certainly debilitate future generations’ willingness to work and to take on the risk and sacrifice that prosperity demands. As their hard work and sacrifice are betrayed by confiscation of their wealth, they will respond rationally and cease to work where their reward is simply to provide the fruit of their labor for another man’s welfare through the coercive redistributive powers of government.
Do the advocates of these suicidal theories believe the misery, hopelessness, and poverty that have always characterized, and continue to do so, every society to implement them, are coincidental? Can they not make observations and come to conclusions? Has there ever been an instance of a federal republic, dedicated to liberty, ending up with concentration camps, reeducation camps, gulags, and ovens?

We stand at a crossroads. We have been duped into electing the most embarrassingly inept president in our history. A man whose personal history is devoid of so much as one voice of liberty within his earshot.
A duplicitous Alinskyite manipulator and narcissist who, like Orwell’s Animal Farm pigs, believes that “some animals are more equal than others”, and amongst whose number he of course counts himself. Narcissists can be very convincing. They actually believe in their own superiority, regardless of the near perfect absence of evidence for it.
Let my people go!
We are witnessing an historic election this November. Will you show up? Because that is all it will take. Do not merely witness it from afar – PARTICIPATE! Show up. If we show up in numbers that reflect our passion, we can’t help but win.
