As Go Tunisia and Egypt, So Goes US?

[LibocalypseNow]

Hey,maybe people shouldn't count on Government to make or break them? How bout it? That's why Socialism/Communism doesn't work in the end. You can't always sit around whining & complaining about the Government keeping you down. You instead have to get up off your couch and go get it for yourself. Relying on the Government for everything only breeds resentment & failure in the end. This is why our nation needs to stay away from more Socialism. We should be promoting self-reliance instead. If you're sitting around waiting for a Government to make you a success,you're surely doomed to failure. Governments are often quite corrupt & inefficient. So don't hold your breath waiting for them to save you. Do you want to be a Loser or a Winner? The choice really is yours. Don't leave it up to Government to decide.

White House works to fan flames of unrest in Iran, as Prince Reza Pahlavi predicts 'Tehran moment'

U.S. Pressures Iran to Allow Protests, Former Prince Says 'Tehran Moment' Coming - FoxNews.com

Wondering if Iran can topple from within. Obama should have backed the demostrators last time. Maybe our president on training wheels is beginning to get the hang of it? Or perhaps is he not wasting a crisis?

Is President Obama going to give the same enthusiastic support for the demonstators in Jordan, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia? His community organizer skills will be greatly appreciated in the Middle East to form the new governments to his liking.. (and throw everyone under the bus).

Maybe Wall Street should stop counting on government to make or break them? Have you noticed there are two sets of rules in this world? One for the rich, and another for the rest.

Maybe government should simply tax the rich instead of borrowing from them?

And start filling US prisons with the richest 1% of thieves, speculators and other assorted psychopaths.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Republicans OR Democrats to hold the rich to the same standards as the rest of humanity.

"Obama administration officials have, at this point, said their voices should be heard. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon issued a statement Saturday urging Iran not to follow through with stated plans to crush the protesters.

"'By announcing that they will not allow opposition protests, the Iranian government has declared illegal for Iranians what it claimed was noble for Egyptians,' Donilon said. 'We call on the government of Iran to allow the Iranian people the universal right to peacefully assemble, demonstrate, and communicate that's being exercised in Cairo.'

"That was after Vice President Biden on Friday called for Iran to 'let your people march, let your people speak, release your people from jail.'"

Should Iran, Syria, Yemen and Jordan follow in the footsteps of Tunisia and Egypt, this world will stand at the edge of an awakening never seen before.

If Americans discover the power to FLUSH ALL elected Republicans AND Democrats from DC in November 2012, big "D" Democracy takes center stage EVERYWHERE for the next generation.

US Pressures...

Saudi seems like a real stretch.

I don't think there's the same degree of mass support for change in the Kingdom that we saw in Tunisia and Egypt and currently observe in Iran.

Even if millions of Saudis began demonstrating against their government, I don't believe the Empire could or would indulge that revolution.

That really could Change Everything faster than anyone could anticipate.

Do you have any thoughts on how rich US generals and admirals would respond to that uprising?

What "Rich US Generals and Admirals?"

Like who?

Once retired they wipe up by serving on boards of directors and such.

 

[georgephillip]

And appearing constantly in the corporate press to agitate for more and more war and debt.

 

[hortysir]

btw, it wasn't radical lefties that inflicted homicidal violence on Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan and Iraq.

No they did it right here in their own homeland and targeted Americans with their attacks

Any attempt at violent overthrow of this government will come from those carrying Crosses in one hand and Old Glory in the other.

Our government was recently "overthrown" in November 2010, without violence, at the voting booth, and with neither a Bible OR the Flag in our hands.

 

[georgephillip]

Lefties didn't kill King or the Kennedy brothers. The misguided violence that they did commit was in response to US mass murder in Indochina.

2,000,000 dead civilians in Vietnam for example.

Any "overthrow" that's funded by the Koch brothers isn't likely to live up to its billing. Revolution at the ballot box would start with FLUSHING all elected Republicans AND Democrats from DC on the same day.

Not something rich white Republicans OR Democrats are likely to accept.

Why are you still here? I thought you'd be off organizing the revolution.

Nope. I'm not a follower.

Notice George how carefully your detractors avoid the issue of how similarly Bush II and Obama bailed out the richest people in the world?

What do they do?

Well the fools go to ad hominen attacks on you because that's all they have to work with.

Others with some intellectualy horse-power instead seek to change the subject because the similarity between the parties is the THRID RAIL for partisans of both sides of the debate.

They won't admit the duelopoly regardless of how obvious it all is because if they do?

Then who do they have to hate and feel superior to?!

Not the hippies, not the welfare mothers, not the gun owners, not the Christians, not the Islamics, but the very people who sign their paychecks.

For some here the stupidty excuse is valid. They do not deserve our contempt.

For others?

Well in their case they are blinded by their own need to feel superior to their neighbors.

It the LA LA LA I'm not hearing you! method of denial.

Theirs is the debating technique of sniveling cowards.

 

[georgephillip]

ed... I started posting about FLUSHING around Thanksgiving of 2010 on the Nation Discussion site. The first thread I started at USMB delt with the mass purge of Republicans and Democrats from DC in 2010. (guess not!)

The idea has zero traction at this point, yet it's clear others have seen the same problem before I did. Huey Long, for example, in the 1930s looked at DC and saw a restaurant that served only one dish.

Republican waiters line one wall.
Democrat waiters wait along the opposite.
But whichever party delivers your order, all the grub comes from Wall Street's kitchen.

Maybe I have underestimated the power of hating.

If so, it's because of the potential for mass violence that an enraged US electorate possesses. Should the US economy in 2012 look suspiciously like the economy of 2008 then perhaps the vaunted US memory hole won't be able to save the status quo.

Particularly if there's a 21st Century Huey Long around. (Alan Grayson?)

Recent events in Egypt have shown me once again that the new technology can bring about Change much faster than most of us can think through the implications of its consequences.

Maybe one day those consequences will include FLUSHING 100 or 200 or more Republicans AND Democrats from DC on the same damn day?

Solution: Get rich yourself. Don't rely on Government to save you. You don't have to be a Loser who begs for scraps from the Government. Get out there and become a Winner. Governments are most often corrupt and inefficient. So don't count on them to decide your fate. That's the big problem with Socialism/Communism. It forces Citizens to rely on the Government for everything. Citizens become slaves begging their Master for handouts. Self-Reliance really is the answer in the end. People need to stop blaming and begging their Government for everything. You want to be a Winner? Get out there and make it happen. Don't blame the Government for all your failures and stop begging for scraps. More Government in your life is not the answer. Take control of your own life and become a Winner. Good luck and God Bless.

Right?!!
Just more class envy from the red-rep queen.

Thanks for the thanks, CG.
I knew the puke would ignore my post

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Losers will always blame others for them being Losers. This is the way it is and always has been. Usually it's the Government they blame the most for them being Losers. Hence,they begin a lifelong habit of begging the Government for handouts. They both blame & beg the Government for everything throughout their entire lives. This is what Socialism/Communism encourages. They become willing slaves who will always be Losers. You hate being a Loser? You hate the Rich? Solutions: Stop being a Loser and get Rich yourself. More Government in your life and begging for scraps will only guarantee you being a Loser till the day you die. At some point you have to stop blaming others and get out there and do it. The Government will not save you.
