We Need a 2nd American Revolution

by Jack

Author, commentator and researcher, Mark Steyn, came up with a nifty little revelation for some, a well known and disturbing fact for others: He concludes, it really doesn’t matter what the composition of government is, 30% democrats – 70% republicans, 40% republicans – 60% democrats, etc., government and the debt still grows. Washington, he concludes, is dysfunctional and small changes in its ranks will have no lasting effect on stopping this march toward debt disaster.

Remember when the republicans came out with the Contract for America, we cheered and the democrats labeled it as a “Contract on America” – they’re so clever. Newt Gingrich was leading the charge for the conservative firebrands who controlled Congress. The year was 1994 and guess what happened next? By the time the 1995 budget was out the national debt grew by another 13%?

This is really serious folks; China now owns so much of our debt that the interest is equal to their entire military budget. Let me say it again, we’re literally paying for China’s military. 30 years ago could you imagine we would be in this place? We absolutely must have a course correction or imagine where we will be 30 years from now!

“Obama’s solution to everything is government, government, government.” – “The government needs to stop spending at a level that makes it necessary for the Chinese to lend us money. When you feed a spendaholic’s habit, all he’s going to do is spend more.” Mark Steyn.

Do you understand why am calling for a revolution? And let me make it clear what I mean by revolution. I mean the kind of revolution that overthrows the government, the entire government from the president on down and it changes the way Washington thinks and behaves. The old beltway gang must go. There must be so few of them left that their bad habits will not infect the new guys who honestly believe in the idealism that launched this nation.

That’s what it’s going to take folks – a revolution. It doesn’t have to be violent, although there is a certain appeal there. Imagine marching on Washington at midnight with torches and pitchforks, wreaking vengeance upon traitors that have been stealing our wealth and undermining the Constitution! Well, that’s not going to happen, but it’s a nice thought if your passionate about change.

We can have a peaceful revolution, using the power of the vote, backed by the rule of law. It’s really very simple to do it. All we have to do is to continue we’re doing. Continue to use common sense and facts as our weapons of mass coordination. There will coming a tipping point where only the most indoctrinated lefty wouldn’t want to be part our revolt. Who wouldn’t want to halt the spread of a giant, bloated bureaucracy that is sucking up our wealth like a black hole?

The numbers are out there, we just need to unite them. We have democrats who are just as frustrated and disappointed as republicans and we have Libertarians who think the revolt started 20 years ago. The latest poll showed less than 8% of us think Congress is doing a good job. There’s your mandate to throw the bums out! 2012 is coming right up and I would love to see us reject incumbents virtually to a man (or woman).

We need a fresh start. However, it’s going to take about 4 years to go through the election cycle to vote em out, but it will be worth it. Besides, what have we got to lose by trying – could it get any worse? Think revolution – 2012.
