” Exactly. I couldn’t believe the last few errors”

Cell phone auto typo. That’s supposed to be “last few years”, but same thing I guess.

BTW...Feds are a creature of the States. We want a different Fed Gov...We the People need to own the statehouses...

I agree completely but you also need control and where cats are concerned that ain’t easy.

Control is a subject unto itself. For example, the republican party has a great number of state legislatures under its control, as well as the US House, but we lost the executive branch again, and don’t have the Senate, which means we are on the outside looking in as well as under the gun of the left and the media.

I have said long and often that the only thing left to save this country are the states, but how that is to be accomplished hasn’t come to me yet.

A movement needs a deeper sense of passion. It must be fueled by a certainty that it holds the answer to the problems of its society and its civilization. It must believe that its existence would be necessary even if the left did not exist. And it must be willing to do anything to win.

I thought we did have that passion this time around. Apparently the sticking point is that The Won's people "were willing to do anything to win" and our side got steamrolled by the political media complex.

I hear you, my FRiend.

My mom called me this morning to commiserate. She was shocked and horrified that Scott Brown was defeated by the fake Indian. Here in Florida, we have lost our Beloved Congressman West. And on and on.

I am heartsick.

I agree with you on the voting system...how could so much enthusiasm and attitude get snuffed out by a party with no enthusiasm? It’s as if the machines were calculated to switch enough votes in all those enthusiastic states. How did he NOT win one of them? Seriously?

Exactly. I couldn’t believe the last few years, watching people I know to be staid, solid conservatives act as if Romney was the new Reagan. Had romney been elected, sure he would have done a better job than obama. BUT no doubt would have stabbed us in the back on quite a few issues the way mccain did and does. Appointed liberal left supreme court justices, favored amnesty for illegal aliens, allowed taxpayer funded abortions to continue, caved to the environmental/global warming crowd now and then, made deals with democrats in raising taxes or many other issues, etc.

There is nowhere left to run. There is nowhere left in this country that is safe. WE are the enemy now. I watched this happen in Israel. The brave Zionists and the pioneers, the Settlers who were evicted from their land and their homes, broken into a million shattered pieces, their beloved land handed over to their genocidal enemy while the world watched and nodded its approval, and knew that it was only a matter of time before it happened here.

The left had reigned too long in Israel. The right and the left were no longer distinguishable from each other save for a few voices crying in the wilderness.

The Jews have always been the miner’s canary. I stopped praying for the peace of Jerusalem because Jerusalem no longer exists as a holy city. They have forsaken their G-d and G-d has forsaken them. Maybe forever.

It took longer here because we are so much bigger, so much harder to defeat, but it began long ago and never let up. It has taken three full generations to reach this point in America, but reach it they have.

I saw the last vestige of our freedom fall by the wayside when the clinton administration stole millions of acres of land from the states and put it under federal control. Then the supreme court ruled that our private property was no longer sacrosanct. After that, there was no turning back. We have become Israel. WE have forsaken G-d and G-d has forsaken us. And that is just the way it is.

The truth very well and sadly said, MM.

We are going to have to go undercover and infiltrate the infrastructure that the liberals built. That is the only way out of this — take it over. The schools. The media. The states (we have a decent start here). The military.

Infiltrate it all and then take it over from within.

You're right. Just like they did to us. That is exactly what Daniel Greenfield is saying in today's piece.

its a long project...the liberal corruption of the Feds was begun in earnest in the late 1890’s. Anything we might achieve..will take decades of education on the ground to see bear fruit.

When California and New York become reliably red..due to the efforts of local precinct Tea Party’s over several election cycles..we can expect to start to see Constitutional Fed Gov...but until then to expect anything else is foolish..and to pour cash ad time down another RINO national campaign is a waste of money.

Are we prepared to wait three generations to achieve this? Most of us will be long gone. Our children are, for all practical purposes, under government control even if you homeschool. Who will be left to carry on what they never knew existed?

I've wondered that for some time. How do we counter act the liberal machine in our schools? These kids aren't being taught actual history. They're being taught revisionist history. Do we start, or gather, in private schools - to teach what once was? I've taught my kids real vs what's being taught. Is it our calling to teach the younger kids the truth in schools and church classes? Not sure. Not sure about much, right now.

The question is whether a right-wing movement can emerge that will make the vast majority of small businessmen in this country feel as negatively about a Democratic president as welfare voters feel about a Republican president?

The problem with that is that there will always be more welfare recipients than small business owners.

As a business owner and tax payer, I feel like standing outside the welfare office and, when the recipients walk out, ask for my half of whatever they're "getting" because I worked hard for that. And, I'm tired of them taking what I'm (busting my butt) making.

"Who will be left to carry on what they never knew existed?"

Swear allegiance to the flag,
Whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly,
For, someday, sons and daughters,
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.

The sad part is that if you explain to them how they can earn twice what they are getting in welfare, they will turn you down flat because it involves getting up in the morning.

Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: the last of human freedoms to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. - Viktor E. Frankl

How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands. - Anne Frank

My heart goes out to those who are suffering from the effects of Sandy and have to deal with another storm so soon after it. I am fine, cyn, high and dry 7,600 ft in the CO Rockies. When the storm surge reaches my doorstep we’re all in deep doo.

The Elie Weisels of the world are cowards who didn’t use a gun to defend their own lives - they depended on better men to defend them and for the vast majority, the good men arrived too late.

I have little patience for those unwilling to take responsibility for their own lives and those of their children.

So I guess you'd shoot me, because I am fearful and you would consider me a coward. Not everyone is a rough and tough type of person. So be it.
