The Kochstitution. There will be no United States when done.

Pick your fiefdom and find your place under your local feudal lord and take on his religion or else. That is the plan they they have been working on for years.

It's called feudalism. Where you must pay the baron to use his road and will bow to your betters or else be killed by those who directly benefit from strong man rule, where the strong men are supported by the guys with the guns, like the days of old, or today's despotic autocracies.

The OC crowd, is that who we want patrolling all public places, when they are barely a step away from being mercenaries and para-military gangs and are given their orders from corporate and religious overlords?

Like Rand Paul bragging about his private security that makes him feel safe, surrounded by Second Amendment solution riflemen who want to 'restore' the USA to its rightful rulers. Same thing as the CSA wanted, where only white men will rule.



Where social mobility is a pipe dream, slavery is what some people are born to be in and they deserve it. Historically all caused by reducing government until it is so weak it cannot enforce laws as it was the only force keeping feudalism at bay.

Yes, Grover knew that cutting off funds and denying government taxes was the way and enforced the allegiance of the GOP, as the Koch brothers do now.

Thom Hartmann did a great analysis, referring to an author who states the case plainly:



Why must Texas have guns in every place? Who funds the Open Carry movement, a gunin every school laws, SYG laws and enacts bills to 'restore' the nation to pre-Civil War conditions?

And if one really looks at the writings of the Confederate leaderhip, they weren't just disagreeing for business reasons for slavery. That's the economic view, but it came from their long felt social philosophy, that goes back to the days of the Greeks.

They believed that no one but white males were capable of ruling themselves and should not be allowed voice in government, ownership of property, wages or even the sovereignty of their own bodies. The basis was the belief that women and men of color were innately inferior in intellect, temperament and on the spiritual level, thus they should have no say at all, but were more like animals. To be used or abused. No rights.

They stated repeatedly that their problem was not just with the abolitionist mind pre-Civil War, but with the naive writers of the United States Constitution for saying all men were created equal. They said anyone but a white male was born to be used by a white man, as he chose.

A person can justify anything with that philosophy, from war, slavery of every kind, torture and rape. Just exactly what the GOP has been pushing since the Tea Party majority took over in states and in Washington in 2010.
