One of the more troubling trends is that a number of states have changed how they allocate their electoral votes. After 2000, Hitlery was particularly shrill about abolishing the Electoral College. That went nowhere, so now they are changing the states individually. Basically the deal is this. Instead of the votes being split, say in Illinois where there are a large number to go around, the entire pot goes to the winner of the popular vote.

So, if there are 50 EC votes in a state, instead of the 50 being split 35, 10 and 5 among 3 candidates, the popular vote winner in that state, or in the nation, gets all 50. More vote tampering from the party of the only impeached POTUS, as all of these changes are being driven by uber-liberal progressive types.

There is always the last resort:

"Vote from the rooftops"....

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

The American people don't have guts enough to vote from the rooftops.
They might lose their 401K or miss "Dancing with the stars".
They are f*cking sheep who deserve what they are getting.
The ass holes who are bitching the loudest are to blame, they are the ones who let it get to this point.
The cowards who condemn Ted Nugent for being to "inflamatory".
"Oh, I never watch the news, it's all BS". If you've ever said that then you are an ignorant POS and deserve to be a slave.

Never forget Tom,....there will always be,...

the 3%

The Doctrine of the Three Percent.
The Three Percent are the folks the Founders counted on to save the Republic when everyone else abandoned it.

And we will.


There will be no more free Wacos and no more free Katrinas.

For we are the Three Percent.

We will not disarm.

You cannot convince us.

You cannot intimidate us.

You can try to kill us, if you think you can.

But remember, we’ll shoot back .

We are not going away.

We are not backing up another inch.

And there are THREE MILLION OF US.


Your move, Mr. Wannabe Tyrant.

Your move.
*****

If it gets to that point, well......there is the 3%....

Unfortunately, the only people who seem to be awake and aware to what waits for us in the future seem to be people I "know" online...  EVERYONE I know will sit around the living room and talk politics.  The same mindless crap they were fed that day by the media ("Good thing they say our economy is getting better now!  It's been ruff.").  If you ask these same people where they see themselves and our country in 5 years you'll see them glaze over mindlessly as they've clearly never considered it before.  Then say something mind bogglingly STUPID like.  "We'll, I should have a new car by then!"  Or, "Probably not much different than where I am today.".

It makes me sick and sad for them, our country, and the rest of the world.  :(

Jesus help us all!    Kill the dumb ones early! ;)

 If the President were elected by just the popular vote we could all live in a California system. The high density population centers would be the only votes that mattered.

That's exactly what got Obummer elected.
That and massive vote fraud.
