“A REBELLION IS COMING …”
Slowly but surely, Americans are starting to figure out that there’s very little difference between “Republicans” and Democrats in Washington, D.C. Sure, billions of dollars are being spent this election cycle in an effort to perpetuate comparatively minor distinctions between the two establishment parties, but at the end of the day their visions for big and bigger government – more invasive and more interventionist government (at home and abroad) – differ only at the margins.
That’s because both parties are slaves to the same special interests … at the expense of our interests.
Anyway, the upheaval we’re seeing within the “Republican” Party – which its top presidential contenders are doing their best to manage – strikes us as eerily similar to what’s going on across the ocean in Great Britain.
There, a new party – the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) – scored a major coup this week when a leading member of the Conservative Party (a.k.a. the “Tories”) defected to its banner.
“I want change,” British Member of Parliament (MP) Douglas Carswell said at a press conference announcing his defection. “Things can be better than this.”
Blasting the “cozy Westminster elite” (a.k.a. Britain’s equivalent of “Washington elite”), Carswell said that the Tory party is “not on our side” and that its leaders are “in it for themselves.”
Amen, dude. Amen. On both sides of the pond …
A rebellion is coming, people … as more and more of those getting the shaft are starting to open their eyes.

Nothing is going to change in South Carolina until the Feds – FBI – get some interest in the political corruption in South Carolina. So long as U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles protects Jean Toal and her Democratic and RINO chosen ones, nothing will happen. The FBI played around with the second tier crooks like Pinson, ignoring the big dogs, Clyburn and Steve Benjamin, so they can claim they are doing something. It’s pathetic.
“Nothing is going to change in South Carolina until the Feds . . .”
Yep – all those damn crooked Democrats (and their RINO buddies) in South Carolina are ruining the state!!
Why can’t we just elect some Republicans and they can save us?!?
If you haven’t figured it out, yet, our state’s gene pool is way too shallow to expect much beyond our status quo
The Democrat party should be called the Socialist Democrat Party. They are totally out of touch with reality. The Liberaltarian Party is too far out on whichever wing they fall into. Leaving the Republican Party as the adult in the room. The Republican Party is divided between the establishment types who are as much Democrat as Republican and the conservative Republicans who still believe in Constitutional Government. We are a minority within a minority. That is why the primaries are so important. But nobody shows up for the primaries. So you get what you got. Let’s see how they work it out across the pond. But don’t hold your breath.
“They are totally out of touch with reality”
Now Rogue, let’s not start talking this out of touch with reality nonsense.
I am finally beginning to see that Democrats and those on the left, as well as Republicans and those on the right are really in it for themselves. It’s all about keeping themselves in power and throwing bread and providing circuses for everyone else. I am having my Libertarian enlightenment.
You have to be joking. Being “in it for yourself” is what Libertarianism is all about. They see nothing wrong with government belonging to the highest bidder.
