Ok ok ok ok. So you don’t really know much about politics, or how our government is supposed to work (versus how it is actually operating), or about any of the key issues (like our debt, taxes, immigration, foreign affairs, etc), or you just simply want to spend the time to deal with any of that crap…

Ever felt that way? Ever said that?

“Doesn’t matter who I vote for they’re all crooks.” Really? Is that just an easy or lazy response?

“Oh, I don’t pay much attention to any of that stuff. I don’t have time.” Do you have time to watch TV or surf the Net, or go shopping, or tend to your garden, or check endlessly check your phone, or walk your dog…?

“I’m not smart enough to understand any of that.” Maybe you should raise your opinion of yourself.

“Oh, my husband worries about all of that; I just worry about the kids.” Better think about your kid’s future because THAT is in serious jeopardy.

“I haven’t voted in years.” Then shame on you- it is one of the few civic duties that you have. Paying taxes is another. You do one but not the other right?

“They’re gonna do what they want anyhow.” Before too long you may be right but maybe there is still time to stop them. Lay down for a fight and you are guaranteed to lose.

Just stop and listen to yourself. This is your country and your community and your home and your school and your family. This is YOUR life. So how about diverting a few minutes a day to getting smarter and getting active?

You should first learn the Constitution- read it; it really doesn’t take that long. Read it with your family. Read it out loud and discuss it. Bask in its simple brilliance.

Next, read some real history. Find a good book that honestly covers the history of our country. It doesn’t have to be a huge or complicated book but should honestly cover our whole history.

Get some news feeds from honest sources. Get them from multiple sources as a way to “double check”.

Talk to people about what is going on, what you like and don’t like. Join a civic group or two if you can.

Learn more about the issues that really matter- to you, your children, to your community. Decide where your opinion falls and fight for what you think is right.

Look at your moral and cultural foundations and decide if you like the way things are going. Be real, be honest.

Ask yourself “am I happy with the way things are?” And also ask yourself “am I doing my best to make the most of the life that has been given to me or am I just getting along or even living off of someone else’s wallet.”

Get real. Stop being lazy and stop being stupid. Stop looking the other way and dismissing everything as not being your problem because the funny thing with problems is that the more you try to avoid them the more they have a tendency to find you. And bury you.

Don’t let that happen to you. Wise up and rise up and be counted…maybe for the first time ever in your life.

What Do You Call All This?

It has been nine days since my last visit here- the longest I have yet been away. Lots going on but no excuses. I need to get back to my daily routine. It’s kind of like working out- good to do every day and it winds up making you feel better. Well, maybe.

So much going on in the world and a lot not good for us, for this country.

Did the Russians really shoot down or aid in shooting down the Malaysian jet liner bound for KL? Where is the outrage? Where is the U.S. response to Putin?

For how long will our southern borders remain basically open to all? When will we do anything about it? What problems can we expect down the road from all this?

When will the administration and its taxing Gestapo arm, the IRS, be called to account for what is obvious misuse of power? When will we wise up and neuter or eliminate these out-of-control bureaucracies such as the IRS, the EPA, HHS, DoED, and so many, many others? Why does that power grow unseen and, for sure, unchecked? Why do we allow this and why the hell do we pay for it? Stupidity.

When will Hillary Clinton be prosecuted, not just simply be held responsible, for the deaths of the four Americans in Benghazi? There is not much discussion about her role and responsibility but she is as guilty as if she had been there in person. Maybe she should have been there in person and shared the fear and fate of those sacrificial souls. Shameful. Wicked. Terrifying.

When will this country finally, finally wise up to Obamacare and repeal it and then really, really fix the health care system. So much could have been done, can be done, without such a boat anchor of a bill being passed and implemented. More free stuff, mo’money, and, in the end, no solution to the real problems. Our government at its finest.

When will our free press be free again? When will it return to real journalism, objective and non-political reporting as envisioned as necessary by men such as Thomas Jefferson? At least Pravda had no real option to change.

Will we ever stand up for, and with, our ally, Israel, and recognize the real, real threat that is radical Islam? How many of them are there out there? Is it really radical or just Islam? Do we not see that they see us as bigger devils than they see the Jews in Israel? Talk will not dissuade these people. There is ultimately only one solution- they must be completely defeated before they defeat us- why is that so hard to understand and why does our press not report on this either?

I wonder if our government will ever stop spending like spoiled, rich college students who have an open account with mommy and daddy. Those are the type of kids who just want more and, oh, by the way, hate their parents…but still need them for the money. Can you say the 99%ers? What if the 1%ers just go away you frickin’ idiots? You ain’t really all that smart is ya? Sooner or later it has to end, one way or another.

When will our tax system be revised to something more fair- as in those who don’t pay nothin’ now need to start payin’ somethin’ soon? Simplify it and make it more fair. Stop milkin’ the people that make our economy move, creating jobs and opportunities and actual wealth…not welfare. Welfare is what the government produces.

When will people get off there asses and get off the government teat? More and more people are being made dependent and don’t really seem to mind or realize that if you exist off what is given you will cease to do so when it gets taken away. Simple enough?

Free birth control and free reefer. Money from home so no job needed. No real responsibility. Sure sounds like a lot of college kids I used to know.

Stand up people and fight. Enough. Enough. Enough.

Freedomerica

Commentary Political Social No Comments

 

It is Thursday and a brand new day in wonderfully brand new world…or at least a country.

It must have been very hard back in the early days, the days when the fight was so very young and vital. I think now to our heroes then, the men and women who struggled so mightily and tirelessly to bring about the change that since then has so brilliantly defined us.

Back then, the few freedoms gained were then held at such a cost. Then so many more secured and, in the end, perpetuated. There seems in these days of victory surprisingly little that remains to secure. We are now indeed free.

Certainly before our heroes were able to achieve there was struggle- at first for the equal rights for women and then later for the equal rights regardless of color or race.   But these were long struggles and ones that many felt were simply overlooked or perhaps sidestepped in the original and outdated constitution of that place. Many said it was due to necessity or perhaps expediency for the need to get things in place but we have always felt that a poor excuse. And so very much was ignored…but not for long.

Things came quicker then.

The right to clean air and a healthy earth. The right for renewable energy sources that do not rape or pollute our kind host. The right for certain religious freedoms for some and the freedom of certain religious restrictions for others. It has been about balance when necessary I suppose.

Perhaps the defining original freedom then became the right to love whoever I choose and to secure that right with the implied bonds of the legally recognized commitment known as marriage. The need for that old institution has of course fallen by the wayside but the right to love or couple with whomever and whatever I so choose had been so fundamentally at the base of our continued progression. It may be restricted at times for health reasons but this is clearly sensible.

And with that expression came also the right to healthcare as defined and administered by our selected government officials and proper agencies. No longer did we have to burden ourselves with the need to choose what was best for us- we are free to have these others choose.

And it is really unnecessary to say that the rights as defined by our founders, especially of course Wilson, Roosevelt, Clinton, Obama and, yes, even Johnson, are now as much a part of our social fabric as is the right to select our wards. A place to live with some food to eat. There was, for a while, those rights to work and gain a sponsored education but it was necessary to deem these unnecessary and free us all to pursue our dreams. No bonds, no worries.

And the freedom from those horrible guns. It is so very reassuring now to know that only the appointed are allowed to be armed. We are all now guaranteed the freedom from worry that we will be shot except in the cases, of course, where it is warranted by decree. And as an added benefit of course comes the reduction of the need for courts and prisons and also from the need to actually formally sentence anyone to death. The decree frees us from such worry.

All that is needed is now provided. And it has been so efficient that what is needed is pre-decided. We no longer have that burden to bear.

There are those who have tried to warn against the system, to misrepresent the situation as “unsustainable; the money will simply have to run out” but they conveniently ignore the fact that the goal has always been to eliminate the need for money. All will be provided and all that is needed is indeed provided. Except of course in the times of shortage. And they might say that those times are occurring more often but, again, they would ignore the fact that the goal is always to eliminate the shortages. There is always a bottom to be gotten to.

But that is truly no matter for the ability to express such lies has been replaced with the right to state the truths as outlined in the annul revisions to the charter.

And those who continue their attempts to speak lies against such truths are justifiably removed. I am sure that the removal is backed by words somewhere but I cannot recall at present where that is recorded but it is certain that it is. That much we have been told.

Life is now so free. Without borders there are no restrictions except in those places which have not yet agreed to remove their own borders. Some have said that those “countries” have gained tremendous power and pose an extreme threat to the world order as seen by those selected but those selected wisely ignore such imagined threats and, here as well, those who speak to the contrary have been removed.

We are now so free. No longer do we have to worry about elections or any such old rituals. The wise have been selected and the wise then select the more wise. It is a beautiful system and should have been implemented so long ago.

We are free and have no worries. We can pursue all that we wish to pursue with the things deemed as needed now provided. We can pursue all that we wish as long as it is not disallowed.

And all that is not disallowed is of course allowed. How can a provided right to such freedom ever be seen as anything but a wonderful thing?

Are we lost?

I don’t come here as often as I did. Probably because it’s summer and there is a lot going on with the kids at home and all the activity that surrounds that.

But it’s all good. I try to keep a positive outlook on things around here and I know that it is a very tough time for our family for a number of reasons but I think we’ll make it through and out okay. On that I can hopefully lead by example and also just remain calm in most cases. I have covered some of that already.

It’s not all good though with our country my friends and I think that we all know it or at least suspect it. When you find yourself supporting and even defending a particular elected official who you know is not performing or in many cases these days violating his or her office or, worse, violating the law and you are doing so simply because you voted for that person, or because you are of the same political party, or because that person is a certain sex or a certain color then don’t you think there might, just might, be a problem?

It is time for you to wake up America. Seriously. All of what you have is at risk whether you know it or not. It can all be lost in an instant and history is filled with such valid examples.

Why would our government try to keep its peoples stupid and indoctrinated at an early age?

Why would they jump to a defense that always involves not what a person does but how a person is classified- not by any character content but rather by biology or skin pigment or religious affiliation or sexual orientation or any such number of exhausted and exhausting defenses?

Why would our government want to allow so many illegal-entry people to come into this country?

Why would our government want so many people owing it in so many different ways- loans, welfare, disability, unemployment, healthcare…? Why would they want to make it harder for individuals to succeed?

Why is our government allowed to deny responsibility and claim no knowledge of almost every single thing that happens under its purview? How are they not held accountable?

Why do most news and reporting agencies, media networks and outlets, and so-called journalists not report any, repeat, ANY, of this?

Why do our government officials seem to be ignoring, bypassing, and even dismantling our very Constitution?

Why don’t you know what that document contains- what it says and the individual rights and general freedoms it seeks to protect by saying what the government is allowed, and more importantly, NOT allowed to do? If you read and understood any of it you would see some of the real problems and recognize some of these very real threats.

Why aren’t our voters encouraged to become more informed rather than just be told why the other guy, the other party, is so bad and what everyone is trying to take away from you when at the same time they ignore telling you the fundamental freedoms that their own positions and party are destroying on an almost daily basis?

Why aren’t you reading this? Why are you sitting there and playing video games all day long?

Oh, right. Playing video games may be very bad for you but it is very helpful to your government. Reading or learning something of value is just the opposite. Stay dumb, get dead.

How ignorant will you become before you wise up just in time to bow down one final time before the man?

It isn’t very far away I fear. I just wish I could think of a way to show you, to prove to you that all of what I say, and what others say in more depth and detail, is true.

Maybe if I just keep trying I will stumble upon a way. Maybe.

It is Good

Political No Comments

 

Good. Something not bad. Something that helps to promote or advance the general welfare of a person or thing toward a useful end goal. Something constructive or helpful in some way.

Good. Something that we try to teach our kids to be while still striving, throughout our lives, to be the same way ourselves. Something we hope we find in everyone we will encounter and possibly engage with today.

Good is something right, something more than simply beneficial by mere chance alone. Good is promoted, good is pursued. Good is desired and recognized as essential to any society.

Well, almost any society. There are those throughout history which managed to escape good altogether but most of those went far enough to become downright evil. Couldn’t happen here though.

Take our own government for example. It is good, they are good, are they not?

They take from those who have and give to those who have not. And it matters not if those who are diminished earned what they have and it likewise matters not if those who are enhanced are made so without the slightest expenditure of any effort of their own making. It is simply good that those who can make it so do make it so. And it is good for them to have those devoted patrons to depend upon come the Fall.

It is good that we have reduced our international standing, both economically and militarily. The respect paid our country continues to erode and that must be good because it makes those who were so far behind now closer to us. Not through their own speeding up but by our own slowing down. And never mind the more powerful countries who will then edge into the lurch- they mean no immediate harm.

Or so they say.

It is good that our officials can now have us under constant watch and know what we are doing. We remain suspect in all we do while those who would bring us down are treated with all desired respect and essentially left alone.

It is good that those who disagree with the administration do so with the fairly likely assurance that they will be targeted by the mighty IRS. Is there any organization more powerful than that?

And the fact that the Department of Justice continues to cherry pick the cases of lawlessness that they will choose to pursue and prosecute must be good for they say it is so.   Never mind the actual law.

And it is oh so good and just that the Department of State continues to neglect its function and put so many in harm’s way. They seem inept and quite incapable but, at this point, what difference does it make?

We choose to not pursue any sensible path toward energy independence but continue to pursue technologies that cost far too much and yield even farther too little in return. How can that not be good? Some day when we no longer need it we will have it- cheaply and in abundance.

The world moves and so do we. Our largest and most dangerous enemies are granted more and more appeasement, by us, and that, too, is good. If we want them to move toward the leadership spaces we are vacating at an amazing rate then it must actually be very good.

Our good remains intrinsic and personal. It remains good. Focus on legalizing illegal residents within our borders. Perpetuate racism and sexism as catalysts for change regardless of the legitimacy involved. Make gay marriage an inalienable right and a primary focus on all fronts. Allow the federal government to dictate the re-education of our children; to completely control the medical care of its citizenry; to regulate our living based on false assertions of global warming or climate change, all based on indefensible data; to have more people pay no taxes while consuming more and more tax-provided goods and services; to promote the general demise of any decent cultural norms; to promote Islam while denigrating all things Christian; to raise wages where small businesses, and any competition to nationalization of such provided goods and services, can no longer exist; to control the media and all but eliminate objective journalism; to override state sovereignty more and more with each passing day; to vastly and continuously raise our national debt; to take away our right to speak freely and bear arms; to dismantle or completely neuter out very Constitution.

To allow our supposed leader pass after pass on all things of any importance. To allow such a tremendous intellect to time and again avoid any responsibility at all for these things that happen on his watch. How could he possibly know?

How could he possibly not?

In all regards, though, that too must be good or we wouldn’t allow it to happen would we?

 

Responsibilityless

Observations Political No Comments

 

Things may not always go as planned; or hoped; or desired; or as we think that they should if there is a God.

Nope, things often just go. And how we respond to that may just determine who we are and how we will do with our own existence. How we react to the good and how we react to the bad. All responses are telling; all responses serve to mold us and, hopefully, instruct us for how to better respond in the future.

Responsibility is something of a rare commodity as of late. Many of us avoid it, many of us disdain it. Fewer and fewer of our children are instructed on how to accept it. Why is that, have you ever wondered?

I, for one, blame the parents- us. It’s as if whatever our kids do reflects completely on us- not just on us in terms of our ability to raise them but on us as people, the very core of what we are, of who we are. If my son has failed, I have failed; if no son flunks a test, it is me who flunked it; if my son strikes out looking it is me who could not pull the trigger…and I should hang my head in shame. Or, better yet, I can just blame it on someone or something else and shirk and responsibility whatsoever- that saves him and in saving him I am saving myself. Perfect!

But what happens when no one anywhere will accept responsibility for what they do, for what gets done under their watch?

If my kid hits another kid who is at fault? There will be those who take it (the abused) and those who think it is okay or just simply decide they were not responsible for their behavior. Sound ridiculous? Not really. Happens all the time.

Sometimes we can just claim ignorance- we just didn’t know. “I didn’t know Johnny was struggling with his math” (never mind the 3 D’s and 2 F’s he got in his last 5 assignments); “If Billy wanted to pitch he should have said something” (he did, coach, several times, and, like most kids, just finally gave up asking); “You mean my yelling at you was causing problems? I never knew…” (all tears ignored)..

Nothing could have been done to avoid this. I never had any idea. No one is special.   You’ll get your chance. It’s not your fault and it sure as hell isn’t mine. It really wasn’t my decision. There’s nothing I can do about it; there’s nothing you can do about it; there’s nothing anyone can do about it; there is nothing at all that can be done about any of this by anyone at any time…

When responsibility is evicted excuses move in. And before long even excuses aren’t needed any longer. No one is at fault and no one is to blame. So it would then follow that any action, that any activity is completely acceptable. Nothing at all is off limits.

Impossible? Maybe not…

Have you checked out our federal government lately?

After the previous 30 years of so of moving in this direction are you surprised?

Well, I still choose to bring up my kids differently and I hope that somehow it will make a difference- for them and maybe for those whose lives their own touch. Maybe it is not too late to re-inject some responsibility into this world- ourselves, our families, our children, our schools, our communities…

Our government? You can keep the “our” stuff- none of that was my fault.

And No One Answers

So much is going on and so much is not.

So much needs to be said and there remains so much on which folks should remain quiet.

So many need help and too many do nothing to change that- for others and for themselves.

Many days have sunshine and many have rain. Some are cold and some are warm. Some days the wind blows here without surcease and nothing without weight should be left unattended. Nothing is safe, nothing cannot be blown away.

Some days there is a feeling unlike any that has been felt before and there is hope within that this day should be one of those…for me. But still there remain all the questions.

There are many that I wish to ask and there are many answers I have never been able to secure. Perhaps I have not found the right ones to ask- either the questions or the folks I question. Often I question the ether so should not be surprised when the ether does not answer.

Our government: there is so much that they are doing and so much that they have done and so much of all of that should fall under extreme scrutiny and so much of that even seems to border on the illicit, the unconstitutional, and the blatantly illegal. Why is no one answering the questions put forth regarding these actions and this activity? Why do the American people just sit back and accept all that is being put upon them? When will we all wise up and the rise up to save what is left of the best that there could possibly be?

We were indeed the best at one time. This is what our founders envisioned and planned for accordingly and this is indeed what we once were taught to pursue. Why have we so willingly abandoned that?

Now we just pursue what feels good. Now we just ignore all that threatens us. Is that Nero on the fiddle?

I’m flat this morning and my mind has not recovered from certain things. I am just still troubled by all that is happening all around- immediately around my family and pervasively around our world.

Will we survive? Will we thrive? One thing at a time I suppose.

I ask. Who will answer? Will anyone answer? Will no one answer?

How dare you?  How dare you propose to exercise what some say is a right to free speech.  Where the hell do you think you are, 18th century America for chrissakes?

You gotta get wise friend.  There are many areas where you best not travel.  Well, I guess that you can go there but you best leave your voice and your thoughts, your opinions and viewpoints, behind.  In fact, don’t just leave them; get rid of them if they don’t line up with mine ok?

Things have a way of catching up to you ya know?  So maybe you didn’t figure anyone would ever find out but we did, we did man.  We never stop lookin’ for slugs like you who think they can hide behind that old bullshit Constitutional crap.  The screen is down man don’t you know it?

When the bullets start flying it sure as hell pays to be on the right end of the gun.  We’re taking aim and we aim to take no prisoners.  All’s fair y’know.  Think I’m kidding?

Hate speech is just that- speech that I hate.  I hate it when you try to speak so just shut up.  And if anything you do or say is something I don’t agree with then we will chop you down.  Who’s we?  We are all those who are not you.  And we hate you but our speech is simply in defense of what you disagree with and, as such, could never be considered as hateful.

Beautiful ain’t it?  We hate what you say or do, express that hate in defense of something that is protected from any speech or actions that we have worked to define as hateful, and then if you try to defend what you said, or your thoughts, or your position, we are able to just simply rack it up as more hate speech.  Game, set, match.  Pardon me while I chuckle at your total ignorance toward the inherent beauty of this new artform.  Folks like you, you’ll never learn.

You don’t get it?  Who cares.

In the end it’s simply the fact that we win.  And if we win then I guess you lose.

You can’t fight it if you can’t win so just get out of the way.

Yeah, okay, we’ll let you resign.  This time anyhow.

For Him Who Done Did It

Political Social No Comments

Was It You?

And who, may I ask, is responsible for this?

You might hear the question but I would be willing to bet that you will be waiting some time to get an answer.  A very long time.

Seems that these days no one, anywhere, at any time is responsible for anything.  Ever.

Slight correction.  Someone is of course responsible but no one admits responsibility and no one, for damn sure, is ever held responsible.  Ever.

I hear it all the time on TV and more so on radio commercials:  “It’s not your fault.”

All the time parents seem to find ways and reasons to dismiss the clear evidence that clearly implicates their child in something that often is not very serious at all.  It is as if by assigning blame to their children they are admitting some sort of flaw or shortcoming in themselves.  God forbid they are ever held to account either.  Not ever.  Neither.

I wonder what type of society we have created with all this re-assignment of blame and this abdication of responsibility.  Actually I really don’t need to wonder.

Some young adults seem absolutely floored when they finally hit the real world and someone, a co-worker, a boss, a (gad!) customer holds them responsible for some action.  They really don’t seem able to process the thought that something they did 1) caused a problem and 2) um, they were the ones who did it.  Cause and effect is hard to outrun.

I blame parents and I blame teachers and schools and I blame sports coaches and teams and leagues and I blame youth leaders and groups and I blame the government.  Yes, I said it and you heard it- the government.  Especially the current administration but maybe they are just the crest of the wave.

In the sixth year of this administration I cannot really recall a single time when the president of this country has admitted responsibility and then also carried through on that admission in terms of making it right or fixing it or doing something differently in the future because of something that has been done wrong in the past.  That used to be commonplace when families were as well.

Seriously, it seems to me that with the dissolution of the family so came the abdication of responsibility.

In terms of blame or responsibility it’s easier to allow than correct; to dismiss than to address; to deflect than accept; to deny than admit; to run than to stand.

To stand and admit that it was me, that I was responsible, and that I am ready to make it right.

I wonder what type of society we would create then with such a resurgence of the acceptance of personal responsibility.

It’s kind of hard the first time that you do it, no doubt.  That is a great reason to start with your kids when they are young.  Let them know that actions have consequences and that those actions and their consequences have an owner.  Own it, learn from it, grow from it, and be a much better person in the long run.  Simple enough right?

Imagine if we had a whole slew of such young folks that we could send to Washington to take over the leadership of this country.

I wonder what kind of country we would have then.

All from just a simple childhood lesson that seems to have disappeared somewhere back in the late sixties.

Imagine.

Just Get In Line Ok?

I was getting an entry per day done here at one point but not so often as of late.  I’ve been busy elsewhere but will try to get on schedule again.  Daily entries are important to me.  Especially with so many people not reading.

It’s okay that so many don’t read because there are also so many out there who don’t listen either.  Do you listen?  Can you hear the drumbeat?  I’m not so sure that I can hear it very clearly any longer.  The ringing in my ears is sometimes deafening and manages to block everything else out.

It’s quite interesting.  It seems that in the polls (gotta love those polls!) the administration is fast losing favor even as more and more of you continue to get in line.  Why are you doing that?  Do you like what you see or are you just closing your eyes and hoping it won’t hurt too badly?

I see now, here in the once-great-state of Illinois, that everyone seems to be out in force to get folks signed up for Obamascare.  We are, after all, the state that so proudly produced the sitting monarch.  Yes, I said monarch because we might as well get used to that term if this is the way our elected officials are going to be allowed to execute their offices.  There are no longer many checks or balances in effect as the march to the sea continues.  I don’t really even understand why they are asking us to sign up for this agitprop.  In the end, I truly fear, this is the shooting pit into which we are all being driven.

Illinois.  This state is really a joke and all but the hordes of public whores living in Cook County and Chicago know it.  Money and people are leaving the state and being replaced by, by what?  By whom?  Can we just please annex Cook County to maybe Michigan?  What kind of state do you think we might have then?

 

No, the once-great-state of Illinois must help to lead the way.

I see that some of the local sports organizations and faces are coming on the tube to push the sign-up.  All that I hear from them is the “blem-blem-blem” you might expect to hear from an unintelligent machine.  Robot. That is what they want you to be so many thanks for making it easy.  No heart, no soul, no spine.  No blood and no life, no not really.

Maybe I’m being a bit harsh and premature.  Maybe there is still a drumbeat for people who simply wish to be Americans.  Once again, to become what it is that made this country what it had become before the progressives and socialists gained such a tightening grip on our culture, our politics, our government, our society.  Maybe it is now a death grip.  Are you still out there Americans?

How often is intelligence revived from stupidity?  How many times can we wind up making the same mistake and still manage to survive?  For how long must we suffer all that we know to be wrong with who and what rule us?

Just get in line and shut your mouth boy.  You had your chance to speak even though we weren’t listening anyway.  You had time to get your affairs in order.  Everything that has happened has happened in front of you, in spite of you, and because of you.  Don’t worry, the government will take care of things and will take care of you.  After all, they have always done a great job in all that they take over or create and propagate.  You will have no worries.  Just shut up and get in line.

Just get in line, you know you want to and you know you will.  And so do they my friend, so do they.
