Time for Another Revolution?

Wasn't it Thomas Jefferson that said "A little revolution now and then is a good thing; the tree of liberty must be refreshed..."

Well... somebody said it.

A look at the latest Democrat witch-hunt/political fishing expedition/smear campaign/distraction from their obvious inability to govern/ fiasco - involving Federal Prosecutor firings... Suggests that the need to tear it down and start over may be in America's future.

Getting back to the kind of governing by honest grown-ups that the founding fathers intended may one day involve speaking a little treason against the powers that be... Not that the original plan wasn't a great one - But the Democrats have formed an extra-legislational, pseudo-truth, propaganda-alliance with the Judiciary Branch and the Liberal media. The resulting tyranny is palpable as the people who think they know better than the majority play fast and loose with both the law and the truth. And the worst part is - they exercise this charade with impunity.

These people are the perpetrators of the present "daily hysteria" and governmental quagmire... Which is what happens when either you have no ideas, or can't sell the ones you have - and you can do nothing but criticise and accuse your opponents.

I'm not sure if the "Spirit of 1776" still lives and breathes in our distracted, complacent, self absorbed, and embarrassingly lazy culture... But when the wheels fall off - When the grown-ups take their hand from the wheel and ask, "Who is John Galt" - the sleeping giant of liberty and self-determination may be roused from its current nap.

As the Left continues to chip away at our Representative Democracy, the authors of the second amendment look more and more like the geniuses they were.

Unfortunately, I think people were more informed back in 1776 with the primitive tools of pamphlets and public meetings than we are today with our television, radio and internet avenues.

To dismantle and rebuild would be too dangerous and would result in a superhighway for the leftist agenda. At least in the current setup there are a few tools to slow it down.

It seems like whenever you go off on this particular tangent about witch-hunts and fruitless investigations, I can't tell if you are talking about present day or the Repub $80 million boondoggle to chase Clinton's cock.

It appear to be me that things like this are the only thing preventing us from being under the rule of another King George.

But it doesn't involve a BJ, so why investigate it?

Decency, concern for our culture, and Morality - not Politics - should have moved Bill Clinton to resign.

Regardless of the reason, there is no illegality in the firings of these prosecutors. It's obviously just the latest attack from the Dems. And they are getting away with it.

When Clinton fired 90+, the Republicans didn't call for hearings.

The system is not working. The media, now the fourth branch of governing has lost its integrity, embraced a Party, and is brazenly working towards that Party's ends.

The states have lost their rights - the 10th amendment has been effectively expunged... The system no longer works.

Look at the threats our country is facing - and look who the Dems are concerned with fighting.

Our government has become a group of egomaniacal, self-serving attack-dog politicians playing the game of politics rather than working in the best interest of the country. The Democrat Party is a complete joke and the Republicans aren't much better.

And today, if the greatest statesman - the most brilliant leader ever - stepped forward to serve... He would get creamed in the primaries.

cml, Clinton lied to a grand jury and asked others to do so as well, that's why he lost his law license and the country witnessed the "boondoggle" as you call it.

That's the biggest crock of sh*t you've posted on here.

CMac,

While it's true that Fox gives equal treatment in its news reporting, every other anchor on every other news service serves it up with a Democrat bias.

Was it Edwards that refused to speak to Fox because they had the nerve to present both sides of issues? I believe it was Edwards.

Now I know there are conservative news programs on Fox, MSNBC, CNN Headlines - but when it comes to news reports - only Fox (maybe because of Democrat criticism) reports what both sides are saying without the subtle approval or disapproval.

Should government employees be involved in political campaigns of their superiors?

My only response:

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Can I interest you in some beach front property in Tipton? Cuz apparently you will buy anything.

Wait, that wasn't right.
Damn cut and paste.

Oh, well.

"When Clinton fired 90+, the Republicans didn't call for hearings."

That's because it's standard operating procedure at the beginning a president's term. To fire for being insufficiently political is scandalous.

That you think that the Clinton firing and this issue are equivalent shows that you are either poorly informed or a complete partisan. That you use the improper form of "Democratic" suggests from where you get your information and with what you identify. Drinking too deeply from that well of trumped up outrage over a period of time, it makes sense to me that you've made yourself so miserable.

If you and your kind take up arms against this country in any significant way, I'll be right there on the other side of your toes and you will come to know how marginal your movement is. I promise.

janice said...

Talk about taking up arms against this country, the dems and the media have done their share.

Nothing liberals love more than to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!

Well Paw, I guess you are saying it is better to fire all of them for no good reason at the beginning than 8% later.

So why isn't the left upset with these fired attorneys for not pursuing voter fraud more aggressively? I thought vote fraud was a hot button with the left.

paw said...

The thing is, AICS, GW did fire them all at the begining, too, as did BC, HW and I believe RR. You sound poorly informed, too.

paw said...

Janice,

I can't remember addressing you directly before - hello.

We're talking about a man who is making not-so-veiled comments about the violent overthrow of the government. Did you have something to say about that? In the context of this thread I don't follow your point.

And what victory are we talking about?

PAW, mon cher,

The instructor I had several years ago, when I took US History (first half) was an Iranian-born US citizen whose family happened to be on vacation when the Shah fell, and they never went back. She finished growing up here and became a feminist, pro-choice, environmentalist, and every other left-leaning "ist" you can come up with. Except (unlike me) she's a card-carrying, gun-owning member of the NRA.

She understands tyranny. She also understands the importance of the citizenry arming themselves against the possibility of the government wielding its tyrannical power against them.

When our government gets to that point, we'll need to be armed. Is that "violent overthrow of the government"? Or is it self-defense against a renegade government? Each person has to decide, preferrably before the time comes.

Skyepuppy, ma chérie,

I understand guns and their role just fine. I know guns. Though one daisy cutter would about take care of anything that any group of citizens could possibly hope to yeild agains the feds. Gotta keep it real.

There is a whole list of things this crowd wouldn't maybe expect from me. I live in the west for all kinds of reasons. Voted for HW in 88. Don't feel like I've moved that far, but the right, it seems, has rocketed away from me.

I'm sure you can imagine my unhappiness with the state of affairs for the last 6 years. Agitate for revolution? I can't imagine.

Maybe there's an expectation that a post like this one from Malott is not to be taken seriously, that this is an acceptable part of the new, improved political debate, the mock call for revolution, as if nothing else can express your outrage. I reject that.

There's a line here that should not be crossed lightly.

paw, we have both scratched our heads over the statements and beliefs of each other. This statement really makes me scratch my head. I view GW to the left of Reagan. If GW is to the right of HW it is only slightly. I do not see this rocketing to the right, but a slow continuous move to the left.

On your side, however, I do see a huge leap to the left by most Dem leadership and their supporters. That you seem fine with the left and dismayed at the "changes" in the right leaves me no alternative but to scratch my head, again.

Hey, on the attorney topic you claimed I am not informed. This may be the case as I am speaking from only what I have read from AP stories and we know how lacking that can be. I have read that in the second term (2005) a recommendation was made to fire all, but they did not. Then they fired the few of them. I have heard nothing about what happened in 2001. If you know something and can share a link I would appreciate it.

paw said...

AICS,

I shouldn't have been talking about myself on someone else's dime. No point in that.

The solution to our mutal head scratching is simple: just admit I'm right.

All_I_Can_Stands said...

CF,

You think your govt can get any further right? Are you awake?

You must be a youngster. Compare the US in 1950 to the US now. We have moved considerably to the left since that time. At the very least even you must admit we are not further right than 1950. Today's GOP are futher left than the 1950 Dems. Today's Dems are further left than the 1970's Dems. The notion that the country is moving right is completely false. I am sure the left wants people to have the misconception that we are moving right as it allows them more easily to paint the right as radicals. A simple look at history is all it takes to burst the bubble of illusion. While people like PAW tend to have an honest debate and discussion, others on the left thrive on deception and illusion.

This is revealed when they are asked to support a single point with facts and they respond by calling you too stupid and bias to converse with.

All_I_Can_Stands said...

PAW,

You are always the gentleman that I am sure nobody minds you using their dime to say what you wish. However, you have a dime to use if you want. All of us would love to read your posts even if we do disagree. I'd love to admit you are right, but I am afraid I would hate myself in the morning.

AICS
