I have often thought lately that if a good opportunity came along, I would leave without regret.

You're ancestors came over here with nothing more than a dream in their eye and a prayer in their heart.  Oppurtunity comes to those who want it.

We can't seem to get anything done anymore in this country, it's the counter-revolutionaries fault we still don't have universal health care Because universal health care would enable us to kill the counter-revolutionaries more quietly, our educational system is nothing but a political football The counter-revolutionaries demand teaching of hard facts, privacy is a quaint concept We post name and addresses of possible counter-revolutionaries and are upset when they do it to us., our infrastructure is crumbling The proles are noticing that we embezzled that money. , there are guns everywhere Which stops our fantasies of complete control, our politicians are for the most part clowns they are hesitant to start the purges, we spend far too much money on the military because they military may interfere with our revolutionairy aims , and Larry the Cable Guy is what passes for entertainment How dare he show that a man with a dream and hard work can succeed.

Red in the above to express the DUmmies' true thoughts on the matters.

Obama reminds me of one of those few capable emperors in the waning decades of the Roman Empire who tried to halt the decline of the empire but in the end couldn't do it. Why is it I watch "House Hunters International" and fantasize?

Obama trying to stop the decline?

1. Actually, my dear Brigid, I would not. Why?

My husband and I are too old, we no longer work, and most countries don't want people like us.

Our families are here, our children and grandchildren.

We built our home, and we don't want to live anywhere else.

Those are our reasons.


I do hear ya, though. Some days, I wish we could...

It isn't that you are too old.  It's that they have copies of your poetry and it was so bad it got you placed on the watch list.

3. I've thought about Australia

I've loved when visiting
but their cannabis laws are worse than ours. 

Imagine that.  Australia has no use for marijuana fume sucking DUmmies.

10. I can't afford the places I'd really love to live

and my health is deteriorating rapidly enough it's just a dream, now, although if I had to skedaddle one step ahead of the cops, I could conceivably do it.

Warpy plans her escape to be one step ahead of the law.  One wonders what is it that Johnny Law may visit her regarding.

15. My SO and myself would move to France in a heart beat.....

Culture, food, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE.

This doesn't mean that I love my country any less, however the ass hats in congress are intent on screwing us left and right. Big business is running the country, not elected officials.

NATIONAL HEALTHCARE.  So does Mexico.  Mexico is much closer DUmmie.

49. I've thought of going to the UK but there's no privacy there either plus the class thing is still

going on.

You mean people who don't want to work will always be jealous of those who have money because they do work?

There are a good number of DUmmies that say they wouldn't.

For myself, yes but not because of politics necessarily, but for a challenge.  Working with people with varied cultures and backgrounds towards a common goal is something I found enjoyable.  The DUmmies leaving for culture, or healthcare, or because our politicians are clowns sure would be in for a surprise.  Also the road I left on would be the road home.

DUmbass Brigid is closer than she realises but not for the reason she thinks. Roman politicians devised a plan in 140 B.C. to win the votes of these new citizens: giving out cheap food and entertainment, "bread and circuses", would be the most effective way to rise to power. I believe the Obama administration, along with Hollywood, are doing the same thing. The governement is providing the "bread" with out of control entitlements and Hollywood the "circuses" with shows such as "Dancing With The Stars", "Honey Boo Boo" and others.

Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.

I don't know about you but that sure sounds familiar these days in America (to me anyway).

[Karin]

Not only familiar, Zathras.  It hit me right in the face.  "Anxiously hope for bread and circuses."

The Praetorian Guard would have off'ed him after less than a year for nonpayment of services rendered.

Don't let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, DUmmies.

He reminds me of Roman emperors too, just not any of the good ones.  Virtually all of the good ones were also successful military leaders, while Obama spent his younger days in the prolonged childhood of a dissipated collegiate life instead of learning the lessons of hardship, which explains much about his inane economic views.

"Et tu, Brute?" Obama's last words when the Senate will betray him.

I say we trade 2 Mexicans for a DUmmie, wonder how fast they will be trying to break back in.  This people are such idiots, although I don't agree with illegal immigration what so ever, do the DUmmies ever wonder why people are trying to get into our country left and right?  Hint: It isn't for the National Healthcare.

Or this could happen before they act.

Moff Tarkin: The Imperial senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the old republic have been swept away.

What the **** is the DUmmy upset with this time?

Their guy won reelection, entitlements are up, taxes are up, the 2nd Amendment is about to be circumvented, and little miss pissy pants wants to leave?

Wait, maybe she is upset about not getting a "living wage".

Whatever DUmmy, post your GBCW, pack you shit, and just ******* move already.

Rant off.

Of course this was after he systematically cut them out of the decision making loop.  He ruled through Imperial edicts when they Senate wouldn't act.  Before long they were just a galactic debating society that had tickets to all the good operas on Coruscant.  Not that they really minded, it just let them tell the folks back home, "Hey, I don't necessarily agree but the emporer made that decision, not me."

He got rid of them when they were no longer needed as a fig leaf of respectability.

Which is my point. Our Congress isn't that far removed from becoming just like them.

And an abundance of dog crap all over the sidewalks. Or so it was in the 1980s.

Have the French become as vehemently anti-smoking as most of the DUmmies? The stereotype still lives in my head of the ennui-looking Frenchman chain smoking while sipping wine and listlessly arguing about art.

Illegal mexicans are far better than DUmp democrats.

Neither group pays taxes, and both are a drain on health and education services, but illegal mexicans work and don't vote.

Not yet.
