Yes, we will likely survive 8 years of President Obama, but the country does have a BREAKING POINT. And we are there. Losing one more election tips the Supreme Court into Democrat hands (along with what’s left on our side on the lower courts). At that point our side will simply have NO RECOURSE to stop Hillary. Congress has already been reduced to an ‘advisory’ role by Obama - he considers the laws passed by Congress to be suggestions, open to his interpretations, with his right to enforce, re-write, or ignore as he wishes. With the courts in their hands, Hillary will be able to go MUCH FURTHER, as the courts will then be giving her their SEAL OF APPROVAL, as we hopelessly try to use them to stop her.
...and then the UNTHINKABLE happens, and a state, maybe Texas, maybe some other state, simply says ENOUGH, and tells the feds that they have NO AUTHORITY to enforce their laws on the territory of that state. One can only imagine what happens next.
This is what is at stake in this election and the idea that National Review, the Weekly Standard, or ANYONE ELSE claiming to love this country can plot to get Hillary elected, by either directly by telling people to vote for her, or indirectly, by telling people to vote Third Party or stay home is SICKENING and, more than anything, supports what the liberals have been saying for decades - which is that REPUBLICANS ARE IDIOTS (at least many of them at the top).
Finally, and almost needless to say, Hillary's mass amnesty, which will be blessed by the then-Democrat controlled courts, will forever prevent Republicans and conservatives from winning in the future. There will be no 'next time' as the authors at National Review and others seem to believe (or at least claim to believe).
Sorry about the caps...meant to tone it down before posting.
Praying that the Republican Party doesn’t live up to it’s nickname.....the Stupid Party.
With you on this - A Hillary win does mean, short of a bloody civil was/revoution, there will only be one party for a very long time.
Thanks, yesterday I had some arguments with a bunch of NeverTrumpers. And then POOF!, one command and everything I posted was gone.
Let’s see them shut me up on this site.
Given the number of people on those sites claiming to be conservatives and yet helping to engineer a Hillary victory - I seriously there is also a DNC astroturfing effort going on there. And those sites are giving them RED MEAT by writing articles still attacking Trump and saying that they will still never vote for Trump.
One can only imagine what the great William F. Buckley would think about his creation now plotting the demise of this country...

Agree. It is why the sovereign people must reassert themselves and restore free government.
Article V.
Found the problem right there. National Review and Weekly Standard are post-American.
They do not recognize the idea of an American nation or an American people. They only recognize the notion of an American proposition, which they define as promoting globalist economic progress administered by a transnational managerial class and the use of the American armed forces to remake the world in a fashion in accord with their ideology.
America has no more meaning to them than a geographic designation. If American white working class communities cannot compete with dollar-a-day labor in China, then they deserve to die, in their view.
Global governance to ensure a uniform market is the logical end result of their ideology. That's why they are always pushing one trade agreement after another. In other words, a global EU on steroids.
“Agree. It is why the sovereign people must reassert themselves and restore free government.
Article V.”
If Hitlery is elected, there is no chance that an Article V convention will be permitted. Absolutely none. And it wouldn’t matter in any case, as the feds would just ignore whatever came out of it. To have an Article V convention work, the federal government must recognize that the States are really “in charge.” They do not recognize that now, and it will be worse if Hitlery is elected.
That will leave only one recourse. And it will happen. Her election will signal the start of CWII, the New American Revolution, or however you want to term it. The Republic will not survive another democrat regime.
I received a private message in response to this posting essentially pointing out that, while I complained about being kicked off of National Review, many long-time FReepers were kicked off this site, due to their criticisms of Trump. And while that is true, there are some MAJOR differences between what happened here and what is going on at National Review and other so-called Republican sites.
On this site, JR stayed clear of the Primary process until Trump had enough pledged delegates to win on the first ballot - and it got very heated here. Now, technically Trump wasn’t the nominee until last Tuesday - so why did JR cut off the debate at that much-earlier point?
Forgive me JR if I’m not reading you right, but I believe that you understood that once Trump had his majority of delegates, there was NO WAY that his voters, who wound up totaling 14 Million Republicans, were going to vote for any other candidate on the Republican ticket. It didn’t matter how it was done - a rule change (whether allowed or not), delegates walking out to deprive Trump of the nomination, throwing chairs at Trump and sending him to the hospital. It didn’t matter, the MOMENT that Trump was denied his spot on the ticket, the vast majority of those 14 Million votes were lost to the Republican Party, including Trump, and everyone down-ballot.
So the NeverTrumpers, back when Trump got his majority, were simply running a back-door campaign for Hillary - whether intended or not - and this is NOT THE SITE to be doing that on.
Certainly a waste on National Review...but judging by just how many comments there are makes me wonder if the Dems aren’t involved and doing some astroturfing.
But the National Review authors are certainly feeding them too.
I beg to differ. The second amendment solution will still be there.
