Nov 2013
Our republic died today;
i wonder who noticed?
Very few, i am certain,
since most were busy trying
to survive in this economy,
or feed their children,
or worried about healthcare (still),
or trying to escape this reality,
but something fundamental is
different now.
The Senate took away the
teeth of the filibuster today.
Simple majority rules now,
no more consensus building.
So? I don't care about politics or politicians.
That is a shame, because they
care about you. In fact,
they are counting on you.
To stay distracted.
To think tyranny is only for distant lands.
To think that today's reform won't be
tomorrow's crushing defeat.
Black America:
What if tomorrow the House of Representatives
passes a law to make you all slaves again?
LGBT Americans:
What if tomorrow the House makes it a law that
all of you be imprisoned for being who you are?
Women Americans:
What if tomorrow the House takes away the
abortion option, or worse?
All of you are outnumbered.
Remember...majority rules now. The Senate won't slow it down.
Be careful who you *******.
Because debate and careful consideration
are no longer valued in this Democratic
pseudo-Utopia.
It interferes with their agenda.
Petty tyrants don't just rule in
Third World countries.
Not anymore.
They work on Capitol Hill and live in the White House.

Our nation whimpered as it died. Democrats officially killed it.
Enjoy the bliss of Obama's promised transformation of America. The Senate was intended by the founders of this nation to be the chamber of the legislature where tempers cooled down, debate slowed down, and the minority party or parties had a fighting chance to withstand annihilation. But over 200 years of precedent was getting in the way of Obama and the Democrats getting their way, regardless of the rule of law. They broke the law, to change the law, so that they can ignore/bypass the law.
Seriously, be careful who you ******* now. If you saw this on the news happening somewhere else in the world, you would say to yourself that that country was now being ruled by a dictator.
But it just happened here, and that is exactly what they are trying to do to us.
So enjoy your hope and change. I will almost certainly end up in a political re-education camp for posting **** like this, but I don't give a ****. Somebody has to say it.
Good luck.
