Talk of 2016, politics, and elections all seems so laughably moot. Like a silly, low-octane sideshow. I mean, what does it really matter if Hillary or even Sanders wins? I mean, really? When America itself has long crossed the point of salvageability. There’s nothing left of it. Except to burn.
FAT CHANCE! Why? Because the candidates chosen to run wont be PERFECT, keeping so many “Principled” conservatives home.
I don’t mean to be judgmental, but if we’re going to hang crepe & lament (instead of standing up like men & women & kicking the sh*t out of them), I wish this forum could be taken private. It bugs me that the left is able to gloat over this. Plus, it fuels their fire when we should be starving it.
just sayin’...
While that may turn out to be the case, I think the left thinks that they have won. They have the momentum, and own much of the federal machine.
The fact is that most blacks and Latinos are against gay marriage.I like to think you're correct on that, and I wholeheartedly agree that the left has just set the entire country to burning *yet again* -- but ultimately, if there are benefits to the all important me, me vote for those, and not worry about anything else. Who's standing in the way of reparations? Amnesty? And by contrast, who's maneuvered into defending the battle flag of the Demagogic Party? Whose response to the attacks by the party of the single party state is to attack the other party?
As if the Republican Branch of the Uniparty is going to do anything about it.
Yes, there's a lot of anger out there against the 'Rats over these issues, but in order to beat them, it will be necessary to clamp down on their massive fraud and cheating that characterized the presidential election process in 2008 and, more so, in 2012.
Also, it will be necessary to get more anti-'Rat people out to register and vote.
But just as important as the next presidential election, these asinine SCOTUS rulings show the need for two new constitutional amendments: (1) subjecting SCOTUS justices to national retention votes every 8 years (as proposed by Ted Cruz) and (2) defining marriage as one man and one woman (as proposed by Scott Walker). Since we can't expect two thirds of each house of Congress to propose these reasonable amendments, the Article V amendment proposal procedure (convention of the states) will hopefully gain momentum as a result of these decisions.
I do remember the palpable anger against the Democrat party in Miami’s Cuban community in 2000...because of the Elian Gonzalez debacle.
Bush won Florida by 537 votes...and I am convinced this is because there was a mobilized, angry Cuban community.
But it was a close shave, even with all that anger.
We’ll see.
I don’t know. I’d like to think so. But I don’t know.
Not until we see the rise of an opposition party. Some of us here are trying to encourage one, but others seem to insist on voting for GOP-E.
If you want to resist in a small way, do as I do: look over your taxes and do everything you can to STOP the flow of your dollars going to Mother Government!
Yes, we do owe some confiscatory taxes that we will get in trouble for if not paid, but put every pre-tax dollar you earn into a 401k or IRA and if you have a Flex plan for medical and/or dental needs, fully fund that. Make sure you’re matching the minimum from your employer on your retirement savings at the very least.
Pay down any debt you owe; pay off your home, ASAP. Downgrade your car. Car payments are dumb! If you can afford it, buy some land. Buy ammo! Buy physical gold and/or silver. Turn every dollar you can spare into a tangible (one you can see and touch) asset of some sort.
And call your Mother and tell her you love her! :)
Are they? They reelected Obama with increased margins (among them) after he came out in favor of it in May 2012 (when his polling showed it was safe). So what's your point? If they are against it, that doesn't stop them from voting D.
While outreach should continue, particularly to Hispanics. Getting an increased supermajority of the White vote seems to be the path to victory.
You may be on to something.
The so-called government shutdown threat might have been what helped conservatives do so well in 2014.
Until the judicial coup d’é·tat that is the SCOTUS is abolished, no election, vote, legislation, Constitutional Article or Amendment, existing or proposed, matters.
