Realization

Born in 68, grew up through ‘tough times’ in the 70s, hit full development through the 80s and early 90s, BEFORE the Clinton Machine came to power.

Maybe it wasnt the most free point in American history, but lord, it was heads and shoulders more free than now. At least while growing up in the 70s, I had the freedom to ‘stoopid’. I may need to explain that to some: True Freedom is the freedom to make stoopid mistakes, but own the consequences. In todays world, with participation awards, no child lwft behind and dumbed down curriculum, stoopid is the norm, and the state will support any and all failures, except those that rose above first. Drop out of school in the 10th grade and can’t find a job, or f#$led up and became a recidivist through the Penal system; MamaGov will take care of ya give you an allowance and foof, even pay your medical, maybe even send ya back to school if thats in the cards. You need only swear total allegiance to MamaGov.

Oh, but start out as a entrepreneur or small business, or even just a skilled employee in such,,, ‘you have too many cars’ or ‘you’re income in years 19xx-20xx was this. You need to let other less fortunate people access this system’ .

Please don’t misread this as my trying to justify socialism: I’m trying to point out how skewed the system is/was/will be to garner v*ters through grift and graft. Its that whole teach a man to fish parable. They don’t want “Doers” they want Dependents. Until the power grab is complete, then the slavery ensues.

Over at Claire’s in her article one Totalitarianism and how ‘we ARE there’ (and we are) one of the commentors states that we are at the point of ‘stand or submit’. Stand for freedom (against the state) or submit to the demands (become the slave)

I’m not convinced there was ANY OTHER CHOICE. In my 53 years, there have been many choices to be made, but they all boil down to that point; STAND or Submit. I have made some supplicant choices (during the marriage years) and the end results are ALWAYS less than optimal, ALWAYS!! I’m longer in tooth, the exit doors are much closer and I haven’t the patience to be the supplicant anymore. STAND or fall are my choice, but Submit???,

NEVER.
