"This is the real deal, and they're "all in."

Are you?

Because if you're not, this is going to be a cake walk for them."

"They've already showed us with Nancy Pelosi's "in your face"
march through the Tea Party crowd that they do not care how
many peaceful protesters line the steps of the Capitol."

"If after letting Congress loot the Social Security lockbox,
and the bankers loot the U.S. Treasury, we let them shove
carbon taxes, higher income taxes, and a VAT tax down our
throats, and then cut Social Security and Medicare... "


I keep hearing these "calls to action," but without a clue as to what action is needed. As you said, the PTB don't give a rat's patootie what we think or want for the country, and they hold all the strings to power.

So, what is the action that you and Glenn Beck want? Withdraw cash from our savings accounts? Will the cash be worth anything in the future? Do a rain dance? Bang our heads against the nearest tree? Write letters to our congress critters that they'll ignore? Carry a clever poster at a Tea Party rally?

Or, maybe, we should just buy $1100 gold, and defiantly announce to the world, "Bring it on!"

Slider, your posts are interesting, and well thought out, and I enjoy reading them. Where they fall short is in the realm of what to do about the problems you identify.
