Congress Hits New Low: Only 7% Have Confidence In The Institution! | |
Resister User ID: 36421936 United States 06/20/2014 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. With so many politicians getting popularly re-elected to "serve" for 20, 30, and even 40 years running, the 7% confidence rating only means that the general population is schizophrenically insane. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |

One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway.

Congress? Not so much, a new Gallup Poll says. A record-low 7% of Americans say they have “a great deal” and “quite a lot” of confidence in Congress — the lowest-rated institution among the 17 entities tested in Gallup’s confidence survey. [link to www.gallup.com] Public schools, banks, newspapers and television news all rate higher than the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. The military is at the top end of the scale, with 74% of Americans saying they have faith in that institution, followed by small business (62%) and the police (53%). No other institution in business, government or society that was tested garnered at least a majority in the poll. More: [link to onpolitics.usatoday.com] 7%? That seems rather high for an approval rating. "One person with courage is a majority." - Thomas Jefferson "You’ve heard that we are what we eat. But we also are what we think". “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views." -William F. Buckley Jr. |

This is absolutely ridiculous they are able to still get all their perks and we have to wait for next election. They should be booted to the curb. Term limits! |

No one buys the governments agenda anymore, that's why they couldn't sell the war in Syria. It's why voting among the youth has reach an all time low. I tell you now that it is only because we are comfortable that things remain the way they are. I swear on my life that the day ONE element of common society (ie water, food, electricity, gas) fails that revolution will come. Remember this and wait, we are leaning forward into the abyss as we speak. |

I'd believe it when it reaches zero point. Because the Overlords, the Watchers, the Archons, whoever is the AI running this world, has failed miserably. They stacked the deck. They had more intelligence and technology than mankind and they abused their prisoners obscenely. Therefore, I'm surprised if there remains 7% who have faith in the systems of this world. My faith is in Jesus' words of love, peace, forgiveness and TRUTH. The only way for this world to become a better place is for the truth to come to it. It cannot find the truth through the lies. Hence, I pray a most fervent prayer that Jesus bring His judgment to this world and please don't delay Lord. |
