I know how you feel. But remember...”and the flag was still there!”

Pray, fight, and keep the faith

The answer is to recruit a new generation young patriots, starting as the earliest ages.

From this pool of right minded people, a new Gideon may arise who will select and lead the small cadre capable of defeating the modern day Midianites.

It is curious that the first two responses to my post involved faith in God. A good thing, a starting place.

As a staunch enemy of Obamacare who also faces having to deal with it, I am curious about your comment that it violates the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Can you explain?

Our job from now on it seems will be to work and fork over money to support Obama and his Marxist voting base until Hilary runs. They will reward the Democrats for handing them our tax dollars so they can multiply.

It’s a shame we can’t figure out a way to keep our money out of their hands and let them see if they can live on what they themselves and their Socialist benefactors can supply them. My thought is they’d all starve.

"We should diversify in the direction of Hispanics."

Not just no but hell no! This is NOT freaking Mexico.

You are welcome if you Come here legally, learn the English language, Learn about limited government, Learn our history, learn what it means to be an American, LEAVE YOUR CULTURE BEHIND and adopt our heritage and our morals otherwise get the hell out of my country!

I'm damn sick and tired of flipping channels with a dozen or more ALL IN SPANISH. I'm tired of pressing one for English. I'm tired of demands that all our information be printed in Spanish. I'm tired of having to "reach out to the Hispanic community" which is code for rolling over to people that are NOT AMERICANS and who expect us to pay for it.

These poeple who are not Americans are electing our leaders and running our lives. Go back home, we don't want your vote and this is not your country.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. It’s past time for the best to become filled with passionate intensity.

Thank you. Just an effort to encourage people . . . and I suppose it was cathartic for me.

Well you forget one thing:

International business. Which is set-up anti-American in scope. As international business increases, more and more Americans are hurt.

Americans lose jobs, and American businesses close.

These trends increase the number of DEMOCRATS.

How about we suck it up, and start working to increase American business?

Just a thought.

The flag should be changed to a picture of a bunch of piglets sucking on their moms teat.

After feeling sick to my stomach for the last few days, I broke down this morning and wept—didn’t know I had it in me or where it came from. This election was a big deal because before we could rely on the idea that America made a mistake, and didn’t know whom they were electing. Now it’s clear that they did, which reveals a much bigger problem. Anyway, after pulling myself together, I remembered that this country faced even worse odds at Valley Forge, and that the biggest disservice I could give is to mope around and give up, pondering where and how I’d immigrate. We’ll evidently have to undergo a major restructuring, it’s true, and the country will face a decline—not a fall—in the mean time. The liberal preponderance seems monotlithic, but we’ll finds cracks that exist or will form as this mess continues—and all our old lessons, our history, our institutions will be there waiting for us when people see the fruits of statism. We’re different. We’re not Russia or China and never will be. Those countries were founded by despots, no matter the effort, their political tradition inexorably veers back to their roots—there’s no culturally rooted sense of freedom. We were founded on the principles of liberty, free enterprise, small government, and the devolution and separation of power. No matter how hard people try, they can’t change our fundamental nature. When the money dries up, we’re not returning to Czarism—we’re going to roll up our sleeves, and awaken our dormant, default programming. Right now, our job is to keep our chin up, rest up, resupply, and weather the cold winter. Thanks for your post.

Although we’ve been inundated with vanity posts this week, I am very impressed with the quality of thinking and writing in them. Someone should set up a Vanity Post Gazette to capture and share the best of FreeRepublic’s original writing.

I am hoping it collapses, too. It is wreaking havoc in the business world, and that may do it. Personally, though, I have already started withholding less so that I don’t get a refund. That way, they can’t keep back the penalty. And when I pay my taxes, I will subtract the amount of the penalty from my check, with a note of explanation. Let them come after me. But I will not pay!
