A Hypothetical Speech
« on: May 03, 2012, 09:09:27 PM »
From IMAO -What a real leader would say

Quote
I’m sure you’ve heard the clichéd but true phrase “What can’t continue forever, won’t.”

I am reminded of something William Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth, about how “So foul a sky clears not without a storm.”

That storm is coming.

It cannot NOT come.

Quote
My only remaining requirement for this budget is that the bill presented for my signature
must be written in your own blood.

I’m serious. Really. I’m deadly serious.

This is not a joking matter; I am not being flippant, nor am I just kidding around.

I’m serious.

In your own blood.

Not your page’s. Not a delegate’s or proxy’s. Yours!

And I am referring to both the bill’s text and the following “Yea” or “Nay” markers;
the bloody thumbprints and signatures of all members of Congress.

I will sign it with mine.

My reasons for this are manifold but for now I will mention but three:

* Doing so will inspire you to choose your words very, very carefully.

* It will encourage brevity.

* And it will remind you that each and every word placed within lays claim to and disposes of wealth forcibly extracted from the productive citizens of this great country, whom you were elected to serve and not to rule, that you are amending for past betrayals by these great houses, and that such a grave responsibility must be undertaken with reverence and full knowledge of the precise costs involved.

As Glenn says -- read the whole thing!

Wow. If only, huh? There is not a politician on the horizon equipped with the fortitude to give that speech.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yeah, it was well written...boils the blood and gets your hopes up, etc. But then you realize that we're past the point that anyone would be able to give such a speech and have enough support to actually be able to pull it off.

Sadly I think the only thing that will save us all from doom is to fail. Go through all the destruction and death that will follow. And then hit the reset button. I guess I'm not seeing a way to fix all of this. As soon as Romney got the nomination it pretty much put the last nail in the coffin. I'm not even 100% sure that anyone we had running would have been able to turn this around frankly, but Romney was certainly at the bottom of the list.

Ah well, not much to do now but vote for the most conservative in any race you happen to be voting on and prepare to ride out the coming storm. Hopefully the strongest will survive and all the leftist idiots will die off.

Weisshaupt - I thought this was such a great find that I couldn't wait to share it with my leftist counterparts on another site. I didn't know what to expect but figured it for a good ice-breaker.

Nothing.

Nada.

Like a hot potato they won't come anywhere near it. They understand the principle involved and the catastrophic danger that looms ever closer, but they can't acknowledge it because their whole ideology would be revealed for the fraudulent and criminal enterprise that it is.

I'm letting it season a bit and then will go back and use it as a battering ram - just because I despise those people so much.

Yeah, you can tell the ones that really cause them pain, because you get crickets. There was a NY Post article about SS and the impending debt-- same thing. Where you expect to see their usual tripe, they were silent.  Its a change - during the Bush years it was a "fabricated threat"  I  can't say we "got through" but I think its stirring a primal fear - a cognitive dissonance like they have never had before-- something that shuts down their normal defenses and forces them to stick their head in the sand. Something they cannot face, even to spew the usual stupid crap.

Obama demonstrated  that Keynesian Stimulus DOES NOT WORK, "Smart" Diplomacy DOES NOT WORK, that the Blue Social Model is doomed out  as Europe starts to collapse and the numbers show the same here, and increased numbers of people like me who are preparing for the worst, telling them to F off, and calling them fascists to their faces,   and finally the fact that everything they do is now generating waves of laughter and ridicule in social media.  Of all of these I think its the last that is having the greatest effect.  They so much want to be part of the popular crowd, and I think its finally dawning on them what F'ing tools and sheep they are and they simply don't know how to cope with that fact- their egos are so invested.  So they ignore it.

Just thought everyone should know, this speech has been moved by its author to its new home, nukingpolitics.com, with the blessing of the owners of its old home, imao.us.  Perhaps "moved" is the wrong word... Copied and edited to fix a few errors apparently.  They also added a couple of pictures:  http://www.nukingpolitics.com/2013/09/my-presidential-address-to-special.html

Enjoy!

Now, why was I thinking of you when I recognized the first post in this thread, hmmm?  Right up your alley?

Actually and honestly, I don't know "Weisshaupt" (and am certainly not him), although I can bet that we'd agree on many things.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.  I wasn't implying you were him or knew him.  I was trying to say that going by your posts so far,  you'd agree on many things.
