You see, there is no other purpose for government other than the maintenance and well being of the populace. No government or country has ever raised itself out of economic depression through budget cutting alone. The Federal government has set the states adrift to take an ax to their own people while the politicos smile for photographs. So remember what that old man said as he was dragged from the room to be manacled and jailed for the crime of standing silently. "This is America!"
Your government has turned on you, it is attempting to make you the scapegoat for all this countries ills. It has declared war upon you and upon your children. It has set about on a course to crush you and to make you servile. Forget about parties, the parties are dead. Forget about foreign wars, the war is here. If you want to stop the foreign wars you must first win the war at home. If you wish to save the environment you must first win the war at home. The coal which is too dirty to burn in this country is exported to China under the name of mineral resources.
The Gulf oil spill, the foreclosure crisis, free trade, falling wages, the environment, the economy, Fox News, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, the tea party all come from the same source. There is a purpose for these things. To slice away from your life a thin slice of prosperity, day by day and to leave you with the nub. To leave you hungry, cold and poor so that stock portfolios can fatten and bonuses can rise. Another Mercedes Benz in the driveway and a summer home in the Hamptons.
Understand that the tyrants of the dollar plan to slowly weaken you until you no longer have the power to resist. Understand that you mustn't pick up a gun but face down the guns, to strip the powerful of their moral authority after which time they will lose their actual authority. No one can say how long it will take and only a fool would make vain promises about valor and glory, but it has begun. The battle for America's soul is beginning and you have the opportunity to take part. You will decide whether that old man was right or the thugs were right. "This is America!"
