American Voters Voted To Play A Six Chamber Russian Roulette Economically & Socially.
By putting the GOP in charge is like playing Russian Roulette with all chambers loaded. They will push their extreme right agenda and workers will descend further into slavery. Women will lose more rights. And infrastructure will crumble even further. The American landscape will suffer in ways not yet imagined. And religion will continue to invade the public sector.

What is worse with so many state legislatures now in GOP control with a strong religious bent there will be a push for a Constitutional convention to reshape this government. The religious right is already on board to install the Bible as the law of the land. They demand civil laws and public laws based on the Bible and 10 Commandments.

Christian organizations are coalescing and already announcing plans for new militancy against secular government.

Now which one of you sent Bob the memo about the Christian army?  :mad:

2. The +45'er's Seem To Think They Won't Need Social Security & Medicare.

The younger ones I talked to have bought the idea they won't have either program. That means without either they won't survive economically. The think they will work until the die or as long as they want in good jobs. As a former DOL employee, the new corporate and business model will toss them aside before they are 50 to the minor leagues of Walmart and burger flipping.

The younger generation has bought into the idea that they will have multiple successful career changes making as much or more money as they get older. That meme is a lie. Very few workers survive economically under such labor conditions. With no social contract with employers and no safety net 90% of these voters are headed for a miserable and poor old age. They will truly be a "dog food" generation when they reach their older years.

What I have said may sound stark, but it is what will happen if the GOP scraps everything it wants to. Just read the old libertarian Koch platform and the outcome for the nation should be obvious if that platform were to become reality.

Well at least your dog as an old shoe to chew on. :)

Works for me, as long as you go first and the game stops when the gun goes bang the first time.

     We get the dual benefit of Bob's butthurt over the election and the continued onset of senility and dementia...it's going to be a nice ride from here on out. Keep writing, Banzin. We need the chuckles.

I am sure the Dentist is giving all his earnings to the US treasury, and not keeping any money for himself.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
