The American Experiment is over

[theFallGuy]

I know you're a bald bastiat.

Okay tinkle wicket

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

Is there a way to just fast forward to the shooting part? I’m already done canning for the year.

Eh ... I’d really like about 3 more good ammo buy runs first.

Okay tinkle wicket

If you want to tinkle another man's wicket, that's your business. Two consenting adults, and whatnot.

I'm just going to assume @McDad consented. Sounds like something he'd be into.

That's not nationalism. A nationalist would support sticking our noses in other's business, if it's in our interest. You're talking about non-interventionism and/or isolationism.

Agree .. I should have said isolationism

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

And ... nothing is over !

Was is it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor ?

I'm sure most people don't care, but we're headed down the Roman path of destruction. I'm thinking Washington DC will one day in the future be the current day Rome. This assumption is based on the nuclear destruction headed our way.

I'll run with it.
Quote box so the wall of text won't be too obnoxious....

FDR was the closest we've had to an emperor like Augustus(for analogy sake, I'm not trying to be too literal.....). I'll leave my opinion of FDR's domestic policies aside and just say he parlayed our Republic's global position pre-WW2 to post-WW2 to the best possible outcome. Due primarily to Lend-Lease, our Dollar surpassed the British pound as the dominant global currency. We secured our borders (global spheres of influence anyway) with imperialistic military expansion.

FDR died before we lost a Legion across the Rhine, but JFK sent them over (Vietnam) in his stead.

Thus began the era of Bread & Circuses.
Education standards declined while the masses ate bread and increased their ignorance with a deluge of constantly morphing Circuses ranging from hollywood cinema, cable & MTV, to Tiktok & twatter.....

Our borders & spheres of influence have since been encroached. Our bureaucracy has become incompetent, created a famine(recession), and can no longer provide bread to the masses.

Orangeman (Commodus) appeals to the masses while playing in the kayfab gladiator Circus with no ability to advance or restore the republic. Just like the idiot Commodus, Orangeman doesn't realize the corrupt Senate(and modern Congress) will capitulate truce behind close doors to eliminate his corrupt threat to their corruption.

Yeah, we're more immoral as Rome. We have fed Christians to the lions, but we've aborted more babies than Rome has.

We as a republic is basically over. Our executive branch has been weaponized and soon the irs will be as dangerous as the cia and fbi
. They'll allow some freedoms but if you get too loud or influential they'll make sure to raid your home with some charge of insurrection..

Well.....what are you waiting for?

Most don't even know who Bastiat is

Uhhhh.THIS guy, right? Jean-Michel Basquiat - Wikipedia

If the American experiment is over does that mean it's back to a monarchy?

The American Experiment ended when Lincoln invaded the CSA.

The American Experiment ended when Lincoln invaded the CSA.

It ended when the first dollar left the public treasury for anything other than defense of our sovereignty .

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If we're past the point of recovery, what good will I accomplish by reading the essay?

What’s wrong with learning something along the way? It’s a good read.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

A monarchy? Sounds like a liberals paradise. You should be thrilled.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Who is happy with the direction of our nation? Not many.

@luthervol is.

 

[luthervol]

@luthervol is.

I think our direction is less wrong under Biden than it was under Trump.

 

[Velo Vol]

A monarchy? Sounds like a liberals paradise. You should be thrilled.

"Trump can still run for president even if he's indicted."

 

[hog88]

"Trump can still run for president even if he's indicted."

That’s our representative democracy.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

"Trump can still run for president even if he's indicted."

Do you think I care?

 

[HammondB3Vol]

I think our direction is less wrong under Biden than it was under Trump.

And that’s why we’re where we are today.

 

[luthervol]

And that’s why we’re where we are today.

No doubt. Recovering from Trump was undeniably going to be painfully difficult - and throw COVID in on top of that, and here we are.

No doubt. Recovering from for Trump was undeniably going to be painfully difficult - and throw COVID in on top of that, and here we are.

Did you use "I know you are but what am I" a lot when you were a kid?

 

[loggervol]

The foundation America was built on is fine. The idiots that have been voted into office and no longer work for the people is what's wrong.
