With the wave of sinister change befalling America I find myself caught between hope and a hard place. That hard place is a survivalist bunker with despair in the air. And that air is strangled with Barack Obama’s socio-fascist flatulence. If it weren’t for the wise old golden boy Ron Paul and my fellow free market odor-eaters I’d be the sound of one hand clapping.
Unfortunately during this, Obama’s honeymoon, we have to endure being accosted by his true believing underlings while we try not to make a mess in our under-things in disgust. The Democratic Party has “organized” to seek pledges in support of the almighty one’s liberty-intolerant agenda. I’m not sure why I endeavor to read the article and the comments. Perhaps I’m a glutton for eye rolls.
No country in the history of the world has ever spent their way out of a depression. To anyone supporting the spend and spend more policies of Barack Obama please answer one question. What makes America different from the other countries that have failed?
Could it be that the other countries didn’t spend enough? There is no better analogy for our situation than the average American family owning upside down homes and thousands in credit card debt. When the government wasn’t pushing subprime loans it was seeking subprime loans of its own. The pseudo-evil lenders were just following the government’s own “encouragement”. The average family followed the government into this predicament. As it unwinds the government will follow the average family on its own path to oblivion.
Family members are losing jobs and being forced out of homes. What happens when the U.S. government is forced out of its home? We already know from experience the laws are different for those that are fortunate enough to make them. Everyone blames Bernie Madoff for his pyramid scheme yet no one cries over the government sponsored pyramid scheme known as fractional reserve lending. Well, not many anyway. Those of us who claim Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Tom Woods and a few others as our modern day economics professors recognize the hypocrisy immediately.
So what happens when our government’s “do as I say, not as I do” financial pyramid scheme falls apart? I sincerely hope we never have to find out.

I am with you. However, as I start to despair I am constantly reminded of the many who are now waking up to message of liberty. I am hopeful that we will stop this train before it goes off of the cliff. Keep up the good work!
