A Nation Divided

[Schatze]

They will grow older, and be paying for their decision for a long long time

They haven't grasped the fact that they'll be responsible for paying our $16T debt. They always think someone else will pick up the tab -- which is the kind of thinking that got Obummer got re-elected.

#4 is right on. Idiocracy is here.

“I’m looking at the expat route.”

Is there another nation with more civil, personal, economic and religious liberty than the U.S.?

We don’t have enough of the above. But do we not have the most? In short, where is it better?

[RightOnline]

I didn’t say a word about “turtle mode”. The author of this thread did. Try again.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

The Constitution is meaningless now.

I remember the Bible speaking of a “man of lawlessness” who would appear in the end times.

I need to go back and see what that is about.

[Persevero]

“I left with the undeniable horror that I had not known my country at all.”

I felt that way when Clinton was re-elected. I couldn’t believe the majority of Americans would elect him KNOWING what a bad guy he was. I thought the first time they were just hoodwinked.

Nope, and not this time either. This is what about half of America WANTS. Might as well realize this, and work from there.

I'm in a state of shock, as we all must be tonight.

I'm not. I knew the GOP couldn't beat a liberal with another liberal.

Acknowledge that we're now the MINORITY in this nation.

The last two decades of liberal Republican nominees should have made it clear that Conservatives are a minority not only in the nation, but within the GOP.

I don't want any recrimination against Romney. (No, he wasn't my choice, but I supported him.) He ran a much better campaign than McCain, who had no earthly chance to win at all.

Until Romney decided he wanted to run for the White House, he was every bit the liberal that many Democrats are, but ultimately I blame the GOP establishment. They have given us two decades of liberal candidates and the few times they've won have meant an even bigger, more expensive, and/or more powerful and intrusive government.

So...what do we do?

If you want to win elections, you start supporting Conservatives. An (R) next to a name means nothing anymore, that person is either a Conservative or they are not. A liberal with an (R) next to their name is still a liberal, and we can no longer blindly vote straight-ticket.

The GOP's response will be to find somebody just as liberal as Romney (Jeb Bush anybody?) and we can't let that happen. Furthermore, we have to retake Congress with Conservatives. Congress is the ultimate battle.

Whether that means supporting the Tea Party movement (which the GOP can/will try to subvert) or something else, I don't know, I just know that the GOP establishment is going to run liberals as long as we blindly bend over and vote for them.

Nope. A majority of this nation has foresaken God.

That always ends poorly...

I didn’t say a word about “turtle mode”.

Sorry about that.

[Windflier]

I only believe in Texas now. I will stop referring to myself as an American. Now I am just a Texan.

I've been in that zone since I realized we'd lost tonight. As much as I love my country, I love my wife and kids more. I feel that I must, by necessity, pull back my focus to a more basic kind of politics.

It's time to man the barricades and fight for the last bit of ground we really hold.

[oyez]

Our country has become evil and sadly we can't see it. I was taught that had the best political system in the the world but it it was nowhere near perfect and never would be. Since in these modern times man is the measure of all things so mankind will pursue its idea of perfection.We both know that mankind will not solve is problems on its own.I don't know what it will take for this nation to realize the spiritual mess it is in.

[Eye of Unk]

Try looking hard at Australia, not perfect but also not too many morons of the inner city type either. Jobs are there especially in mining, IT, and films, heck the whole country is almost as big as America but has less people than Los Angelos.

Politics are a bit funky, its metric, its 220 volts, cell service sucks, and you are on the other side of the road which is arguably better in most cases.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Cessation. We are too divided. They hate us,
we hate them. Cessation.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Exactly. Are we better off to continue another 4 years under a hostile regime? Or should we take the bull by the horns and deal with this now? It’s not going to get any better.

[OldMissileer]

Am I doomed to a life in prison or worse? What of my children and grandchildren? Do they give in, flee, or do they sit in jail with me?

YOU MUST FIGHT!! Fight until death. Teach your children and grandchildren about freedom and liberty. Teach them to FIGHT! A righteous death is better than supporting evil, and sitting around and getting jailed for your beliefs is supporting evil.

Do you actually think God made us a Heaven on Earth? No! This is a test and most of us are failing, including myself. We must be willing to die for our beliefs, for God. There is no Heaven on Earth and we must earn the graces to get to Heaven.

"If you love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

[BlessingsofLiberty]

Yeah, they are already talking about Jeb Bush and Rubio.

We no longer have a two party system.

[Ezekiel]

I remember the Bible speaking of a “man of lawlessness” who would appear in the end times. I need to go back and see what that is about.

A man's "name" is his reputation, his character. Explains why this wicked lawless One chose the SS name of Renegade.

To have someone's "number" is to be aware of that person's character, typically in the sense that it is odious in nature.

Looks like plenty of folks are quite fond of Obama's name and number. That's because they are marked by their love of falsehood, deception, and corruption. They speak the same language: lies.
