“When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion – when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing – when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors – when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you – when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice – you may know that your society is doomed.”

Reminds me of my 1930s’ Fireside Chats to the herds.
Have you been rearranging the deck chairs Frankie?
Baaahh.
Saw this … had to share. Las Vegas business owner warned employees (mostly Hispanic) that if Obama wins he would have to lay off employees. He did. He built a business from just him as employee to 114. He laid off 22 right after election. Here’s the story and what employer said:

Yep, the layoffs are beginning. And this is not a revenge thing, but a business decision. He sees the policies that are coming.
Exactly. You wanna see a tsunami??? One’s coming.
Will they blame it on Boooooosh?
Well, hell, yes!!!
Yes.
Fireside chats (just a tad before my time), however, I can remember very distinctly that in 8th grade we had to study the Constitution. This was mandatory. We obviously had to learn about the three branches of government, and pretty much know all the Amendments. Then we all had to pass a test. It was very difficult at that age, however, it was the first real in depth study of how our government works based on the Constitution. From the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, they state:
“The naturalization self test is a study tool to help you test your knowledge of U.S. history and government. The actual civics test is NOT a multiple choice test. The civics test is an oral test. During your naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. You must answer 6 out of 10 questions correctly to pass the civics portion of the naturalization test. Choose the correct answer to the questions below.

Why do have these so-called “test” for the path to legal immigration if we didn’t in the past think they were important? after all, I would venture to say that many American born citizens couldn’t answer 6 correctly.
I bring this up because in talking with friends, we tired to figure out how we lost this election. The obvious is that we had a lot of ppl voting for Obama in order to continue to live on the dole. Ok, that’s one. That you have too many ppl worried about pot and killing babies, or what I term, the stupid pp. You had MM supressing anything that put Obama in a bad light. You had Obama running a dirty campaign while Romney kept to the high ground. 75% of Latinos voted for Obama, or at least that’s what I heard. How many illegals were allowed to vote? What percentage of the 75%? I would venture to say that most Hispanics are Christian/Catholic. Yet, they turned their back on their faith to support unions they are in (if working) or continue to get govt. benefits if they are on the dole. Unless we clean up, not cozy up, to illegals, we are going to continue to fail in the future. We simply have to get rid of all ppl that don’t belong here. I think both parties thought they could use this group as a voting block, but Dems had the stronger hand in this regard from the start, so I’m not sure WHY Republicans didn’t put the hammer down on this from the get go. We’ve got to have mandatory drug testing for all receiving welfare, and food stamps. Unless, we start tightening up these ppl who want to continue to have the govt. support them will vote for Dems as long as they take care of them. That’s it in a nutshell. A simple minded person (emphasis on simple), thinks … whoa, the Dems will take care of all my needs? Grrrrrreat !!! Gotta stop paying for the 3/6/10 kids born out of wedlock, just so you can collect more money. We have two types of ppl voting for Dems. Those that a very smart that help with money and any other resources to help Dems keep the poor on the dole as long as they keep voting Dem. We have to stop stuff at it’s foundation, not look for ways to bend backwards. It’s gotta be a push back by revising how these programs work. Once you take away the FREE stuff, and offer ppl a genuine way to help themselves, you will see them leave the Dems in droves. No, you can’t have this for free, but here’s what we CAN do. Further, the Republicans have to find a way to stop the unions. If you can’t stop the unions we are not going to get too far too fast. Don’t forget Unions will get waiver from Obamacare !
1) Illegals who don’t even know our form of govenment (no Civics test)
2) Ppl on the perpetual Dole
3) Unions
Keep feeding the above, and they will grow stronger. Bending to them will only make things worse. We have to undermine the goodies they are receiving in some manner.
Sorry, but in some instances above I meant to say “Hispanics” instead of illegals … mostly referring to a “voting block”.
I guess what I am going to do is divorce my husband, but we can still live in sin together. He can “rent” me the house, even though he lives here. I will then no longer be a stay-at-home mom, and become a single, unemployed “head of household” mom.(If I was younger I would be popping out a few more babies, but forget to put a daddy on the birth certificate) Gimme my section 8, welfare and ebt card…don’t forget my free Obama phone! I can use the extra income to stockpile all the luxuries, booze, toilet paper, deodorant, soap and shampoo (don’t forget guns and ammo!)
While I am at it, I might as well get an advanced education on the gov’t dime too! When the economy totally bottoms out, I will be able to support myself by bartering and selling on the black market. If you can’t beat them, join them…but then beat them at their own game.
