Beyond Salvation.
Is America too far gone to save?

There is nothing that Barack Obama or anyone else could do differently to fix the shit we are in.

The Republican sharks smell blood in the water and they are getting ready to feast.

It was a good run but the assholes have finally won.

We can now prepare ourselves for the Second Great Depression.

There will be no unions. There will be no regulations. The laws will be made for the poor people.

Without enough teachers, firemen, or policemen, we will sink into a form of anarchy. Hunger will become more widespread than ever. Jobs will be scarce and cheap. No one will give a shit about the poor people. They can eat weeds and call it salad.

Is that the direction we are headed? Or are we willing to fight the bastards that would put us there?

1. There is always hope
and once you give that hope up, you might as well die because you have nothing to live for. I for one will never give up hope, it is the one thing that we have that the other side does not have. All they have is fear, its runs their lives. It is very much the Jedi, Sith relationship.

2. Don't look now but . . .
. . . it looks like people are fighting the bastards all over the land - Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio. I lived through much worse and so has the country. No need for despair and no good ever came out of it.

3. Have you read any of the other threads here?
Because it looks like people are indeed willing to fight. Globally, perhaps.

4. Thanks for the encouragement...
I am not giving up.

I am attempting to show the seriousness of this fight. Yes, we have brave fighters on the front and we must stay there.

5. Well you're right about that
This would be a huge loss. Huge.
