Nothing is going to change until the citizens in this country do something. All the talk in the world is not going to change things. And all the complaining isn't going to change anything.
We had our chance at election time, and the people put the same career politicians right back in. Obama just gave congress and his cabinet all pay raises, and now he just gives presidents armed guards for life, at our tax expense.
This administration is going to make it financially good for themselves, and to heck with the people in this country. Its all about what the politicians can gain and get. They are raking in the money while the citizens struggle to pay debts.
They talk about us people having to scarifice durning these hard times, yet they give to themselves anything they need. The scarifices should start with them. They need to cut their pays, and they damn sure don't need armed guards for the rest of their intire lives....nor do we need to pay them salaries after they are out of office..............where is the outraged and voice from the people.?????????
If this is what you want then don't complain.
If there has ever been a case of someone mis-understanding their audience, your post is it.
The point of message boards or at least this one is to engender a response. So the posts veer toward one extreme or another. Nobody from the doom an gloom side of the coin (Grumps, Oddball, LGS, Beretta, Nova, Werwhatever, 007, etc...) really think it is that bad here. Otherwise, they would have left the ******* country. How many have left. Zero.
This despite the "civil war" predictions that were voiced in the run up to the election.
The truth is that things are not that bad in this nation--nor have they ever been that bad when held up to the barometer of the rest of the world.
What you're also not understanding is the gun culture. While I will allow that guns are what you resort to when you can't reason with others, there ARE unreasonable people out there so in one narrow window, owning an arsenal that you'll never use makes sense. In the macro, however,
the gun culture demographic is, well, frankly made up of those who are not that bright and can't think 2 moves ahead on the chessboard.....
