The following video is posted by Mr. Garvin and it is the only video that he has posted. As I write this, the video has 39,513 views since it was published on July 10th. Mr. Garvin captures the sentiment of the everyday man in America except for one thing: it is the sentiment of the everyday man from 60 years ago.
The problem with America is that the Mr. Garvins of the country, who are still the economic backbone of the country, are now in the minority. We have no voice and the fruits of our labor are stolen by the government. The entitlement culture has voted us into forced slave labor. I say “us” because I too own a small business and I do my own bookkeeping, taxes, payroll, cleaning, procurement, hiring, firing and everything else to keep my business operational so that my employees have a job. And this means not getting a steady paycheck when times are bad like they are now.
So I want everyone to listen to this video and understand its implications: he is not alone and we do know that the “clowns” in Washington care more about their party than our country.

And when our president has the audacity to blame patriots in his speech tonight for his and Washington’s failures, I can only hope that he understands real change is on its way.

While I feel for Garvin’s distress, he perpetuates a fundamental error.
Obama, and the Marxist policy he represents, is not making errors out of ignorance. HE IS ACTING FROM CONSCIOUS INTENTION.
Beyond that, THE DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN ‘STATIST’ ARE ACTING FROM CONSCIOUS INTENTION in their bizarre dance to wrest control of the government.
When your PC operating system becomes ‘choked’ by a virus, you purge the destructive pattern(s) from memory and re-boot the system from a clean copy.
We are at a point where the only solution to our problems in the general government is a purge of body of law (at a minimum from post Reconstruction) and ‘clean boot’ of our Republic from the source documents.
This is necessary, as the Founders understood the potential for our circumstances:
“That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
A ‘re-boot’ would be our last meaningful attempt to salvage our Republic.
If Hans’ supposition is correct (and I believe it is), then his course of action is also correct. Re-boot, restoration or revolution are all just words until the sacrifices required to achieve this end are understood by the people. Wait and see is the watchword for the country right now. Will we miss our window of opportunity to follow in the footsteps of our founding fathers?
Most of you will dismiss this article and comments just as you have dismissed the loss of your freedom through redistribution, unconstitutional laws, unconstitutional acts and apathy.
David -- let’s remove all doubt that we are being ‘played’ in a massive fraud. There is no other explanation for the actions of Obama given the following assertion:
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
—> Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
Reflect on the middle portion: “…we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally.”
This POTUS exhibits CONSCIOUS INTENT to perpetuate “reckless fiscal policies” and “weaken(s) us domestically and internationally”.
[Quod Erat Demonstrandum]
I will agree that the wealth of Americans is being redistributed under false pretenses. Are we being played in a massive fraud? Yes. Is the president determined to destroy this country? I can see no other logical alternative to his actions and attitude.
As I wrote today in the artice concerning S&P, the only consideration for preserving our credit rating is verifiable cuts of $4 trillion. Does anyone see this in the plan of the hour concerning the debt ceiling?
