No More Excuses

Friday, October 5, 2012


Are you supporting the real Obama, or the idea of Obama?

I’m tired of hearing that “Romney would be a disaster,” or “the SupremeCourt would be more conservative.” Actually, if it were possible for Romney to win this election, it would probably be the best thing for the country in the long run. Why? Obama can get away with doing anything, as far as the left is concerned. After the election, he'll “make a deal” on SocialSecurity, lowering benefits and increasing the retirement age, in fact, he’s already said he supports it. The left will go along because he’ll sell it as the “best deal he could get,” just like he sold the insurance company bonanza Obamacare. The left will go along with his approval of the northern half of the sludgepipe, and probably the bombing of Iran as well. Actually, there’s almost nothing he won’t be able to get away with.

Romney, OTOH, won’t be able to get away with anything. He’ll do the exact same things Obama would've done, but the left won’t stand for it. Not for a moment! Romney doing the same things might even put hundreds-of-thousands of people in the streets, which will be the only way this country might have a chance of surviving.

The system we’re living under is rotten to the core. Our government is a wholly-owned subsidiary of banks and corporations. We’ve run out of time for incremental changes, tweaks to the system - It must be replaced. The effects of climate change: Food and water shortages, relocations, and increasingly violent weather, are going to be combined with another major economic crash, and coming energy shortages due to the effects of peak oil, and upsets in the MiddleEast.

Our government is fully aware of these facts. Why has Homeland Security purchased and distributed millions of rounds of .40 hollow point ammunition, which is illegal under the GenevaConvention? Why have police forces all across the land been equipped to the point where some of them could defeat most countries armies? Why has our society become the most heavily surveiled in the entire world? Do you really think that voting for one candidate or the other is going to change where all this is headed?  

The forces governing this country aren’t afraid of elections, speeches, petitions on Facebook, and certainly not the media they control. They’re only afraid of what we could do if enough of us rise up and refuse to work within the system anymore. General strikes, peaceful civil disobedience in large numbers, removal of funds from major banks, filling the streets might get their attention, not voting for a “green” candidate or one of the duopoly.
