Legalize the Constitution |
I have a friend who ranches in W Colorado. He sent me this article, proceeded by this statement: “First socialism breaks the farmer, then the population goes hungry and then the government who caused the problem in the first place forces the populace who knows noting about farming to go farm...You can't make this stuff up and it is coming here. We all laugh and joke about the the line up for the democratic nomination for President. This is their end game, total control over every facet of our lives. While we laugh, half the population votes for this to come here to our country.” From the news story:

That article is 3 years old, but I think your friend's point is still valid. | |||

So we're all in agreement then?  Looting in Venezuela *** now insurrection *** https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...35/m/3580023634/p/18 "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I read a story a couple years back on the Marxist purges in Russia working this way, which led to millions dying - farmers first as they were held up as the enemy of the State, then the real toll with mass starvation as the ones sent in by Lenin had no farming skills though the land was obviously still there. <>< America, Land of the Free - because of the Brave | |||

Nothing new here. The Bolsheviks did the same thing. The Khemer Rouge in Cambodia emptied the cities and forced everyone to work on rural collective farms. The usual starvation and high death toll resulted. | |||

Now that I think about it, the Soviet Red Army often had to detail large numbers of troops for "harvesting duty" on the collective farms. When farm workers were finally "officially" allowed to maintain small private gardens of their own, a significant amount of food entered the system and helped stem the constant shortages of the centrally planned economy where government departments constantly mismanaged things like planting, fertilizer, transportation of farm goods and supplies etc. In fact the very idea of moving people by force to work on the farms makes me think of serfdom! Guess who the lords of the manor will be? | |||

Nothing to be concerned about, the citizens VOTED for this. | |||

Too clever by half |

It occurs to me, since it’s been pointed out the story is 3 years old, that my rancher friend was right; the stories we’ve seen in the last couple of years are an indication of the lack of success with this “program.” _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||
