People say that Obama can be defeated if Republicans get their act together.
What they can’t say is that there is no act.
Republicans have failed. Democrats just fail worse.
There comes a time when one must start with the realization that all the normal, “practical” stuff has, in plain English, FAILED.
The whole thing has failed and everybody knows it.
What we do in BUGS is to discuss the system itself, not comparing one “side,” as the media call it, to another “side” of the same system.
We all know that America and Europe are becoming third world countries as we have a third world population.
There are a hundred perfectly valid reasons why no one in the present system would dare say that.
And the sentence above defines the system which is failing.
It is simple logic that when the system is failing the only solution is to go straight at the whole basis of the system.
In other words, to say what no one dares to say.
When everyone knows the system itself is failing, NOTHING IS WORTH SAYING THAT IS NOT HERESY.
The Mantra is a great beginning.

“…Telling them about the posterity thing ticks their fairness box and removes that particular mental barrier….”
Obviously, the nation was for signers and their families, (can substitute that word)— otherwise, the endless legacy of “legitimacy claims” would never have occurred.
From the moment of the co-option of that reality, the dispossession of the “real” constitutional americans at the gettysburg address— then came everything from the current “birth certificate” business to phrases s/a “hyphenated american,” and the propaganda machine (pics of chinamen waving “american” flags and endlessly put forth as “patriots,” etc.
Legitimacy as a meme/motif is deep now in U.S., and this presupposes the dispossesion. It’s all about “getting in.” And “who belongs.” Everyone having a “right” to get in on the big “giveaway” of free stuff.
Being “isolationist, protectivist, or the dreaded “exclusionary,” (read: racist). Obviously, someone is perceived as to be trying to protect something in order to yell that at them, lol. (this means they want your stuff).
“Why can’t I try to protect my stuff from YOU?” ESPECIALLY in a Welfare State, lol. (Where those I’m excluding will NECESSARILY just get in MY wallet, obviously, b/c that is the system.)
At that point, take out a wallet and hand out another dollar. Be benevolent.
Consider this look on people’s faces when you get in your own wallet and hand them another dollar or quarter or whatever— and tell them you have absolutely no rights.
They are correct. But what does that make them.
(And the stuff that is gotten, that one has no right to exclude others from getting, goes only to specific groups, of course).
whoops, put in wrong post, sorry.

I saw a great example of this sentiment the other day, just not quite as severe. It was shortly after the Republican ‘B-Team’ had their first debate on that ‘respectable’ network.
I forget which columnist it was, but they wrote a piece about Ron Paul. It went something like, “You know you are on the right side of history when both Democrats and Republicans detest you.”
This was great because it indicates and highlights the fact that Ron Paul is willing to say the most unpopular things by simply telling the truth.
He has Integrity. They know it. They hate it. The People LOVE it.

The republican splits seem like zion, jews, and the romanization, of america. What the “left” communist/socialist or whatever and the “right” the welfare-statist-militarist have in common is a long list– centralized collection of Creative Class productivity, no contribution financially, third-worlding for various reasons, etc.
The zionist christians, propagandized for the same goals, like palin, are just as easily said to be romanized as zionized. Whether they would go to the catholics or the jews is an interesting question, imo.
But some are reliving zion, some rome. Only on the surface do these have some of the same goals (enslavement by debt of population, war for spoils, mid-east, and so on).
Ron Paul represents neither.
He does represent the Creative Class, producers, those who genuinely value producing as a way of life. Who do not wish to live on the co-opted wealth of others (either by the “left” for programs, or “right” for militarism (killing for spoils, re-educating populations Trotsky-style to make them a “new market” for someone, and so on).
The people love him, but they are too afraid to put him in office, b/c they fear splitting the republicans even more and having Julius Malema.
Neo-cons (whether building zion or rome) bank on that fear, seems like.

That’s where they should make it personal: What do YOU live on??? Who DO YOU live on? Are the spoils of the “right” or the “left” –who are getting the money from somewhere!— getting money freely given BY the creative productive peoples? If not, that’s extortion. Is YOUR own paycheck really extortion? Do you feel bad enough —MORAL enough– to vote against stealing? Even if you benefit? In what way do YOU personally contribute to the extortionary state (from the “right” or “left.”?)

Yes, but we are gaining ground on that weakness. The Mantra is slowly opening up Pandora’s box. Soon, like a small whole in the dam, no one will be able to stop the tidal wave that follows. The Sleeping Giant will have awoken from his slumber.
And the Malemas of the World will be crushed underneath His feet.
