Ineptocracy
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Judging by my email, the above "word" has really caught on. Also, it's real and accurate, in fact; real accurate. Is this a great country, or what?
Good hunting. El Bee

The proper noun that i really should have used that is most responsible for our "Ineptocrracy", re - elected form of govt is George Soros. The Hungarian jew who became famous and rich for selling out his fellow jews to the Nazi's during Hitlers reign of power.

The "idiots" are those that voted for dickweed, in the first place. Apparently, there is no cure? I just don't know how to cope with the situation, it's a bad deal.
Good hunting. LB

The same idiots that spit on and "cussed" returning US soldiers. Laugh and clap when a cop dies, and are stupid enough to cheer and clap when UN soldiers start patroling our streets and disarming us.

Unfortunately, history does repeat itself. We are now reverting back to the Pilgrims.
From Poverty to Prosperity:
America's First Experience with Socialism
by Gary Palmer I November 21, 2012
On the fourth Thursday of November, most Americans will gather with their families and friends to celebrate a day of thanksgiving, a day devoted to remembering the blessings of God. Most Americans connect this uniquely American holiday with a romanticized version of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony.
But there is more to the story ... it is also a story of America's first experiment with socialism.
It is generally known that the Pilgrims settled at Plymouth Colony in December 1620 and suffered terribly through their first winter in America with about half of their members dying from sickness, starvation or exposure. Even though friendly Indians taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn and helped them with hunting, trapping and fishing, the harvest of their crops yielded barely enough to support the colony. In the fall of 1621, although things were still very tough, they were thankful for what they had and declared a three-day feast which they shared with their Indian friends who brought deer and wild fowl.
The following year, the Pilgrims once again failed to produce enough food to adequately sustain their colony. But it wasn't bad farming practices that resulted in another poor harvest, it was the colony's requirement that whatever was produced, whether food or clothing, was to be put in a common storehouse and shared with everyone in the colony.
According to the journal kept by William Bradford, the first governor of Plymouth Colony, "... all profits & benefits that are got by trade, working, fishing, or any other means" were to be deposited into a common storehouse and that "all such persons as are of this colony, are to have their meat, drink, apparel, and all provisions out of the common stock."
This meant that each member of the community was entitled to take from the storehouse what they needed, regardless of how much or how little they contributed.
The problem, as Bradford found out, was that the Plymouth Colony version of socialism undermined work ethic, killed personal initiative and bred contempt for those who were unwilling to work. Because all that the colonists produced was held in common and all members of the colony were entitled to be provided for from the common storehouse, there was no incentive for people to work any harder than necessary and many able-bodied people simply quit working altogether.
After the dismal harvest of 1622, Governor Bradford recorded in his journal that "... they began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop." He and the other colony leaders observed that the redistributionist system "...was found to breed much confusion and discontent, and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort." Consequently, Bradford and the Plymouth elders changed the system from the socialist redistribution of the harvest, or as liberals like to call it today-spreading the wealth around-and adopted a free market plan. In their new plan they assigned ownership of a plot of land to each family and allowed them to keep what they produced for themselves or allowed them to sell or trade it.
The bountiful harvest of 1623 proved that market incentives work.
Bradford wrote, "This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any other means the Governor or any other could use ...." Bradford acknowledged, "... instead of famine now God gave them plenty and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many."
Socialism in Plymouth Colony was a complete and tragic failure. After the colony implemented a free market system, Bradford wrote that from that point "... any general want or famine hath not been amongst them since to this day." In fact, the harvest of 1624 was so plentiful that colonists were not only able to provide for themselves and others in the colony, they were also able to start exporting corn to England. In other words, the Pilgrims learned that private property and free markets were a benefit to everyone in the colony...the able and the disabled.
When you gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving to give thanks for God's blessings, you should also give thanks for Governor Bradford and the Pilgrim settlers of Plymouth Colony. They not only laid the spiritual foundation for America, they also laid the foundation for private property and a free market system that has allowed us to care for our families and others in need and that has been a blessing to Americans for 390 years.

And they probably can't even read it. Around here, the students have lap top computers and I-pads to play with in class. They will all be clueless as to how to write a check, or even sign their name. We are headed for the 1800's when guys like Festus Hagen just made his X for a signature.

Write a check? How provincial! My banks have provided me with credit cards that don't need to be swiped, just wave them in the direction of a device. I'm told that to be safe from theft, I need to encase these cards in metal. How's that for progress?
I will tell you one thing, your bank accounts are not safe and the bank could care less. U.S. Bank said their policy is that they will restore most funds during the first month, but if you are out of town or don't discover the theft until next month, they bear no responsibility whatsoever.
And, it seems that every day, I hear from somebody that has had an account raided. Hiding your money in the mattress is just as safe as having those clowns keep it and charge you for the privilege.
