So they are going after the safety net
   
and military retirement.

This is the classic pattern of empires in decline. Here is a happy thought for you... anybody care to ask how well paid the SOVIET troops were paid at the end? I ask because that is where we are going. When the wall fell, not that we knew it at the time, those border troops had not been paid for three months.

Oh and there is more, you think the military will have lifers in a situation like that? NCOs make the backbone of the military... most are lifers.

Yep, we are starting that final circling down the drain as an empire.

The idea of converting military retirement pay to some sort of 401k type plan gets floated around every few years, I remember it coming up in the '80s a couple times.  Nadin needs to stop with the drama.

4. Can't return to slavery until the safety net is gone.
   
And slavery is the point of everything they've been doing for the last three decades.

6. I got the sneaky that there will be a world wide revolt
   
before that point. It's already started.

You can't return to slavery until people are free and independent to make their own financial decisions?  Until the people who work for their money get to keep it? :mental:

Might be a worthwhile thread to observe.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Gee if we were an actual Empire I would be kind of worried.    :whatever:

Hey Nadin, quick question if you will.  How much was the Russian military paid during WWII?    take your time, this one will be a tough google for you.

Every single thing that's wrong with America was caused by liberals.

Rome fell because of the same decadence that liberals espouse today. To change our outcome from the same fate, the course is pretty cut and dried.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

  • Not right, but not left, either.

I am pretty sure a stupidity paradox would occur if nadin and Pittstain took opposing views on what the future of any one subject held.  A black hole in the median distance between nads and Pittstain would inevitably form, sucking us all to our deaths. 

According to my research, Scotland, South Dakota would be the first place to be sucked up by the black hole.

The same thing I was thinking.

I've finally figured out what nutty nadin's posts reminds me of. It's been bothering me for awhile now.

Years ago one of the tabloids use to have a prediction issue. I guess it was at the beginning of the year. I can't remember for sure. Any way, some psychic or other would predict events that would happen for the year.

Nadin's posts remind me of what you would expect to find if the prediction issue of the tabloid vomited.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

I think the tabloid had more correct guesses.

That's what Frederick Douglass kept speaking for: food stamps

Crocodile tears from Needin'-a-brewski.  She and the DUmmie begrudge every penny spent on the military, including military retirement.

Nadin should be celebrating.  Liberals hate "empires", America, and success.  She should be estatic.

She is. Luckily for western civilization, in all her predictions she's consistently, spectacularly wrong.
I dont know what it is with her predictions. Maybe they're victims of parenteral poisoning.
