Why is everyone ready to give up?

[bryand71]

I'm not giving up. I just don't know who to contact to organize a coup. 

The current rash of politicians seem to have forgotten who they work for. Not saying there aren't a few good ones, just that we need a fresh and uncorrupted start.

The only way that we could get enough good people to run Government is for everyone of US (gunowners) to start running for office, on the state, and Federal level. If you don't want to run, vote in the primary and vote for someone other than the incumbent! The only way to change who is in the main election is to change who is left for us to vote for. I know what you are thinking. This will never happen. I think it can, it will take a great effort on all of us to make it happen, sacrifices have to be made if we want OUR country back from the Socialists who are quietly taking it over one election at a time. I will leave you with this quote I found. I believe this is our future if we are not willing to stand up and get involved.

From Alexander Tyler. No, he wasn't writing about the United States. This quote is well over one hundred years old. Tyler was writing about the fall of the Athenian Republic.


"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage."

Interesting indeed..

That is interesting. Another thing that might help is to stop supporting liberal media outlets. I.e. don't buy the NY Times or avoid buying products advertised on pretty much every TV station except FOX. The only good thing in the liberal newspapers is the crossword puzzles, anyway.
