Dave made a point that is so strong, it has taken me a day to define a reply.
Let's look at his point:
Dave wrote:

"The system" is in massive alignment regarding its agreement that the innocent and only the innocent must suffer. This is true no matter how the establishment characterizes itself (which is usually in some sort of reform or opposition guise). They all agree, it is the innocent and only the innocent that must be caught up in any trajectory.
The true motto and operative policy of our government and the politicians who operate through it is this: "We will not held accountable for anything, under any circumstances, ever" and elections and "opposition politics" are the primary accountability avoidance mechanism in place in our time.
For example, how many Ron Paul's must we endure before at least some of the morons out there realize that Ron Paul is among the truly guilty? Ron Paul's candidacy is about the system's need to avoid accountability, THE EXACT OPPOSITE of the MSM's characterization.
Accordingly, the system's real opponents are just a handful. That is those few of us who do not give a damn about ideology or any agenda and who are committed to identifying and attacking only the truly guilty. That is what those bastards really fear.

in reply:
"The innocent" are the only ones who can be reliably trusted to fulfill their role as professional victims and sacrificial lambs; I remember a conversation with a coworker thirty years ago who seemed GLAD that he had lost his job to the Affirmative Action hire, on the grounds that "it was for the Greater Good."
My only thought was, "Damn! Winston Smith has come back from Room 101!"
The same routine was pulled on the guys in the Machine Shop, all of whom could have retired years ago. They were introduced to their Affirmative Action Supervisor, a man who could not even identify the machine tools, much less how to set them up.
Didn't matter.
They were TOLD that they WILL make their new Supervisor a success.
Their Supervisor sat down, just like they told him to do at OCS, opened his briefcase, just like they told him to do at OCS, and told them he would like to meet with them in his office individually.
They left for lunch at that moment, and returned from lunch, went straight to Personnel, put in their retirement papers, and went out - again - for lunch.
Accountability?
They had given up their holiday's, children's birthdays, you name it, all for the corporate good, and THIS was their reward.
I agree with you about Ron Paul; the question I always have of Paul's supporters is, "How will you pay the bills? How will you deal with the cities being set ablaze by Grandma and Grandpa, wondering where their Social Security check is, much less their Medicare payments?"
Two points about Paul many seem to miss:
One, he promises to do what Reagan promised to do. What happened was the greatest deficits in American history, by far, and - note this well - an incredible privatization of government functions.
The functions never went away, like Reagan's supporters thought.
They were PRIVATIZED, and now include such functions as Intelligence; roughly forty percent of the Intelligence budget is in private hands.
All of Paul's supporters seem ignorant of this, living as they do in some Libertarian fantasy world.
In short, with Paul, you will get Reagan/Bush, in practice.
It only gets worse.
The Flat Tax/"Fair Tax" people, like Bortz, will do away with the motivating issue of their Libertarian/Conservative constituency, and that is the lack of an income tax in the Constitution.
Won't matter any more; a national consumption tax of 30% plus takes care of that, while scrupulously avoiding the taxation of "non-earned income."
Thus, governmental spending goes up, the national debt increases, and the income paid to owners of the national debt is now tax-exempt.
Jaw-dropping, isn't it?
I have been wondering how we chose to actively support dysgenic policies, from the War on Poverty, to the 1965 Immigration Reform, to the 1986 Illegal Immigration Amnesty, to the de facto creation of the Republic of Aztlan, and the subsequent nullification of the Republican Party, by the Republican Party Leadership.
Clearly, this could only have been accomplished by the singular RACIAL focus of our hereditary RACIAL Enemies, the Jews; of course, we LET this happen to us.
I firmly believe that enough of us need to hit "rock bottom," of one kind or another, and then stop blaming ourselves, and shifting into focused, disciplined Activity, using Anger as a tool to empower, while clearing away the intellectual and moral fog that blinds us now.
Wordism has trapped us into intellectual impotence, and ineffectual acts.
Dave's final comment is strongest of all; the bastards truly fear those who can see clearly, and act with intelligent, focused, disciplined courage.
The rest pose more of a threat to themselves, than to anyone in political office, much less anyone holding Real Power...
For now.
