Don’t miss the recent popular rant on Secession:

Secession: Scotland to Texas to Alaska…and BEYOND!

Snippet:

its-showtime_zoomIt’s SHOWTIME tomorrow on the Kilty Independence Vote, so we will finally find out just what the Scots have under those Kilts, Brass Balls or Marshmallows?

John Ward of The Slog has published numerous Blogs over the last week looking at the Polls, overall determining it as “Too Close to Call”, although his latest Blog on the referendum seems to indicate he thinks the Nos will win the day unless Salmond makes a final Push on the subjects of Unemployment and Family Security to tug at the heartstrings of the Scot females.

As mentioned before in my previous Rants on this topic, it seems close to impossible that with such a close measure in the Polling, TPTB won’t rig the election to make SURE that No takes the day. One of the numerous reasons why “Democracy” doesn’t work too well on critical and divisive issues where roughly 50% of the population thinks one thing, the other 50% the other. Election Rigging is one means to get what you want in a close vote, it doesn’t take too much ballot stuffing to alter the result.

Slightly less unethical but even more prevalent is the use of Gobs of Money to sway a close election. While even the Koch Brothers can’t buy 10% of the voters in a fairly large electorate, if all they have to buy is 1% to change the result, that is well in the budget. Bombard the MSM with Fear Mongering threats, it’s quite likely 1% of Kilties will have their Brass Balls turned to Marshmallows when they pull the curtain on the Voting Booth…

For the rest, LISTEN TO THE RANT!!!

AT least you didn’t burp or fart in this rant …. which is the nicest thing I can say, as you seem to be in the “no” camp. A POX on you!!

The “benefits” of staying glued to England’s teat will be a short lived one. The Brits are going DOWN, baby … just a matter of time. What will happen to the Scots then? Better to get off the Brit Tit now, than later.

@RE, it appears that it is against the law for the press to report on the voting until the polls are closed. I can almost hear William Wallace (or at least Mel Gibson) shouting “FREEDOM!” now.

“It is now well into afternoon in the UK, and I cannot find a SINGLE Exit Poll …” —– RE

And you won’t no matter how hard you try.

There are NO exit polls …..

If as reported the Scotts are actually LEFT of the median Brit, then if Scotland becomes independent it will lead Britain into the sewer, paradoxically delegitimizing all independence movements.

We’re still a long, long way from the point where people give up on their belief in the Omnipotent State and its ability to give them all the bread and circuses the plebes desire.

Lest we forget, Britain’s Fabian Society (most of its ruling politicians are members) has in its coat of arms 1) two men forging, with a sledge hammer, a better world, and 2) a shield with the image of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

If Scotland leaves the UK, it will take Fabianism with it.

Robert Burns “Scot Wha Hae”
‘By oppression’s woes and pains,
By your sons in servile chains,
We will drain our dearest veins
But they shall be free.

‘Lay the proud usurpers low,
Tyrants fall in every foe,
Liberty’s in every blow! –
Let us do or dee.
‘Lay the proud usurpers low,
Tyrants fall in every foe,
Liberty is in every blow,
Let us do or die!’
