STOP Participating In The SYSTEM

--- RANT ALERT ---

I ran across a post on Kos the other day and shared it here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Ever since then, the words of that original piece have been thundering through my mind.

So based on what I've learned since I started to face the facts the original piece so brutally forced me to face, I can no longer sit by quietly while the self-pity hand-wrininging whine-fest that has become left learning politics continues it's decade long whine, I'm going to repeat again what I read the other day.

AMERICA is no more.

You still believe you can change a system that no longer responds to anyone expcept wealthy interests?

THE CONTRACT IS BROKEN. IT IS SMASHED. IT IS GONE.

As long as we continue to participate, as long as we STUPIDLY continue to uphold our end of the social contract that is our Constitution, while those who are charged with keeping the other end only pretend they are, WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES.

Obama continues to do the SAME THINGS Bush did, which drove us all ****ing crazy for eight years.

Instead of holding to our values, we accept Obama's abuses and lies, and set the stage for the next President to continue the abuses.

OUR SHOUTS AT BUSH AND SILENCE TOWARDS OBAMA REVEALS A COWARDLY HYPOCRISY WE SCREAM ABOUT IN REPUBLICANS.

Our guy won, so his actions, no matter how vile, are okay? Tell that to PFC Manning, or the millions of jobless, or the millions of uninsured, or the little girl down the block who will go to bed hungry.

If you look in GD you'll see thread after thread announcing one ****-over by the government after another. You'll see threads despairing over the state of our dead Union. You'll see pleas for answers to the maddness.

What you WON'T see is post after post with positive things Dems and our governments have been doing for the PEOPLE.

I have come to believe there is only ONE ****ING ANSWER:

Stop participating in the system. Stop participating in the system. Stop participating in the system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you truly think you can fix this mess we have from within the system - you are either delusional, a coward, or you are ****ing asleep and have no clue what the actual reality for ALL OF US has become.

Do you continue to play a game where all the other players cheat, yet expect you to play by the rules?

Look around - our government is no longer OUR government - it is OWNED by people who don't give a shit about us, about the Constitution, about justice, or fairness, or LIFE.

What exactly do you think you can do to influence such people?????? All we've tried has done little more than feed them.

Obama says he's going to spend a ****ing BILLION DOLLARS to win the Presidency. If you don't see the basic flaw in that promise, just go back to ****ing sleep.

I didn't read the whole thing, but going Galt is what it sounds like.  If only all DUmmies would do that and quit sucking the government tit, we'd all be better off. Oh but wait!!

6. Define what the system is, first   
   
It is your job, bills, school, church, shopping, dealing at all on ANY LEVEL with the current batch of sell-out lying selfish shitbag politicians - this life we are all trying to live right now, that has become ALL about THEM, and not the PEOPLE.

Then, stop participating. I know it cannot be just one of us - it must be many.

If we continue to play by the rules they no longer respect, we're ****ed.

We have to stop playing all of it, withdraw our consent (see Thomas Jefferson) and have a Constitutional convention for US - not for the money/power addicts who finally broke the contract.

I recommend reading the post that spawned this one at Kos - the link to it is in the thread I started the other day, which is linked at the beginning of this one.

JFN = just F*cking nuts

4. Here's MY problem, I am quitting my job next week rather than
   
pee on command for Rick Scott and have my pay cut by 3%. When that happens I will have to rely on Social Security and pensions from two states with crazy Repuke Governors (Walker and Scott) for income. It is a little tough for me to get out of the system at this point.

It sounds like this asswipe has been padding their retirement and taking a job away from a younger and likely more qualified worker.  Two pensions and Social Security?  There ought to be a limit on triple dipping.

You want us to "Go Galt"?  Be careful what you wish for.  You people would be up shit creek so fast...kinda like the family in Wisconsin that Rearden and Dagny Taggart encountered just before they found the machine...

[DumbAss Tanker]

"Going Galt" is the last thing on Earth any of those disability etc. racketeers and chiselers would ever want to do, which is to say damn' near all of them that aren't just still living out a college crush with Marxism.

[GOBUCKS]

I can no longer sit by quietly while the self-pity hand-wrininging (sic) whine-fest that has become left learning (sic) politics continues it's (sic) decade long whine

He then proceeds to post an endless, unreadable, self-pitying, hand-wringing, whine fest.

If a DUmbass goes Galt, does anyone really notice? Or give a shit?

Maybe their pot dealer.

I don't think the DUmbass knows what "Going Galt" actually means.

Not showing up to your take out window or barista job is not exactly going to shut down the local economy....much less the national one.

Going Galt is what happens when our side gets so fed up with their mooching and looting that we deprive them of more victims by withdrawing from their world. Deprive a parasite of a host and it will eventually die.

It's pretty much the exact opposite of what they want.

There are days it looks REAL tempting from our perspective, though.

For most of them, it would mean sending back their SSI checks.

It's really AWESOME how random capitalization JUST MAKES the whole thing THAT much BETTAR!

The comment from rzmanfl about how he will be living on SS, etc. and therefore will have trouble "going Galt" made me laugh.  A person who is relying on the government for support talking about withdrawing from the system shows just how disconnected they are.
