America, America, hast thou forgotten thine finest thinkers?"Give no bounties, make equal laws, secure life and property, and you need not give alms. Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue and they do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands. In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile to the industrious, brave and persevering." — Ralph Waldo Emerson, quoted in Paul Johnson's Intellectuals (p. 142).Meanwhile, the White House Obamination is pulling all the strings to drag the USA down to the level of France, and further downward, if he gets a chance.
Thanks for wrecking the place before I have any chance to get there Barry.
Make no mistake though, and take it from this Frenchman: the real cost of socialized health-care is a spiraling free fall to misery — which, incidentally, includes lower health-care standards — for it is a decisive point of no return down the road to Socialist serfdom. Once they get this far-reaching wealth-killing device in place, the rest of society falls with few hope to recover, if any: businesses and jobs, freedom and ethics, everything goes down the drain.
Et merde! Have you learned anything from the failure that is Europe?

I agree. Europe is a mess. Europe never helps the US when we kill major assholes. Also look at Africa. People die very easly there. In some countries blood is cheaper than paint. In order to help people there and disperse food you'd have to kill tons of assholes who would otherwise steal the food. The US is already on everybody's shit list cause we at times have the balls to do the dirty work. Europe loves peace too much! This love is funny. It creates more murder.
Mr. Frogman, i'm glad you are alive and kicking.

Well...some of my fellow countrymen and women have taken the lesson of what is now Europe to heart (and while they may not be totally conversant with Ralph's works have some organic knowledge of many of his ideas) and want nothing of it, but some (a vocal 1/3 I'd say) sadly have not -- or refuse to see the actual facts on the ground because their tinsel strewn fantasy is so much more appealing to them. Another thrid will go along with whatever gets them along because they are lazy and don't want to fend for themselves.
Huey Long was right -- these silly buggers, having had such easy lives, with a fair amount of personal liberty to boot, will voluntarily sign up for not a socialist state, but a completely fascist one simply because they have no clue as to what living in one could possibly be like.
Hopefully (!) there are still enough people with some common sense who can change (!) the course we're on and keep things from going to hell in a handbasket. in the meantime I'm quite literally cultivating my own garden, planning for the fall hunt, and keeping my tools and implements of getting by well kept -- I don't plan to end up in a completely wretched state thanks to a bunch of numbskulls, and highly suggest that as the best course of action for the rest of my fellows, peers, associates, and assorted friends.

Yep. We be screwed, even if we bring a screeching halt to this shit in the next 24 hours we are looking at decades to strip all this anti-American shit out of our government. Best to just smash the whole thing and start over using the original blueprints. That would probably only take i deacde. Give or take the time needed to kick the shit out of the Fundamentalist Muslim assholes, but hey, that is what we got nukes and nerve gas for!

If you come to Texas, you might still have a chance, especially if we finally tire of the BS and tell DC "up yours!" Beside, you could move along the eastern border, and still speak some French with those crazy Cajuns across the Sabine River. Altho, if you moved, that could mess up my future travel plans. ;) (See my post about that at http://texianpartisan.blogspot.com/2009/04/more-about-gov-perry-and-secession.html )
