Just because I like showing off my UTSA education, it's "toe the line."

Somewhere along the way the people acquiesced to the notion that their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness was not the end to which the state served, but rather a distraction from the real business of serving the American state in its rush to greatness. Just think, you could be part of something bigger than yourself. Here's some free shit too!!!1
We will not learn our lesson from this crisis. More liberty will be expended and yet, the same old, same old, will keep on. We'll try to have low taxes and a larger nanny state while still expecting to leverage ourselves to the hilt to cover that, as well as to buy all the wonderful shit which the world wants to sell to us. It's a national emergency anytime economic growth declines, let alone disappears altogether, because so many promises require it never to fade, even for an instant. Not to mention that we're generally soft as a people.
I too, do not see a pleasant end to this. We are in uncharted territory. It's the end of a decadent people in a decadent time.
"Tyranny" is when the other guys are in power.
- Democrats/Republicans
It's all the time now.

Your name could be Cock Suck from the Flamboyant Faggot Pageant Party...if youre for government non-intervention in social issues and your entire economic policy is one sentence that reads "Balance budget, reduce deficit", I dont care whose cum youre swallowing. Youve got my vote.
