The PEOPLE of Scotland are voting to be independent of Britain .So why can’t we have on our ballots for each state the right to vote for independence(secession)? Many of us in states voted for several amendments. Why can’t we vote for independence?

I’m not whining. I’m taking action.

Have already figured some ways to reduce my economic footprint so that Obama’s economy can get the treatment it deserves.

Hope you other FREEPers will join:

Yeah, but you didn't have George Washington, Nathaniel Green, or Francis Marion caving in to British demands that they cooperate on a bi-partisan level. The closer approximation to today's Republicans is Benedict "Chris Christie" Arnold. He knew how to be bi-partisan.

Again we beaten conservatives are enjoined to "put on our Big Boy Pants". Classic.

I won't even bother to go into the reasons I believe we will never win in the current environment under the rules as they currently exist. Thats just what the left wnats us to do - we keep putting up our dukes to fight not only the democrats and the media, but the GOPe also. Well it doesn't work.

Our principles may ultimately prevail in this country, but right now I cannot see the way forward.

The Democrats had four years of buying votes and they still almost didn’t win the election. They aren’t that good. We’re just worse.

“If you know yourself and know your enemy, in one hundred battles, you will not be beaten.”

The first thing we have to understand is our enemy’s motivations. What EMOTIONS make them vote the way they do? And also, what self-interests do they see the Democrats meeting? The leaders of the Democrat party are just grifters. Look at the Clintons, Obama, Carville, Kerry, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi. They are all grifters. We know what motivates them. But what motivates the Democrat voters? It’s easy to sit back and say they’re stupid, but are they really? If they voted for Cap’n Crunch, they would be stupid. They vote for grifters. Why? We have to understand their emotions and motivations so we can defeat their grifter leaders.

We need to double down on demands that 0bama be impeached for, among other things:

1) Dereliction of Duty during Benghazi:

0bama is a traitor for not coming to the aid of Americans in distress in Benghazi. Although we don't know exactly what Ambassador Stevens and Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin's meeting was about that night, we do know that the attack started 40 minutes following their meeting. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. This was a coordinated and retaliatory attack, based on results of this meeting being UNFAVORABLE to Turkey. Bear in mind that the President of Turkey, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is ONE OF OBAMA'S CLOSEST FRIENDS!

OBAMA DID NOT SEND TROOPS TO KILL THE ATTACKERS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO UPSET ONE OF HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS, THE PRESIDENT OF TURKEY. 0bama chose also, not to jeopardize his re-election bid with a possible failed rescue attempt (Typical of 0bama: POLITICS trumps everything!!)

2) Cover-Up

The false narrative that the event was a "protest over an Anti-Islam video" was a knowingly false 'cover story' to HIDE many 0bama administration failures, to include 0bama's failure to attend security briefings, the draw-down of security prior to the attack, denial of requests from Stevens for more security, weapons dealings with terrorist groups, 0bama's failure to send in a rescue team, and lastly to hide the fact a covert CIA annex was at that location.

Among other questions, UNDER OATH Susan Rice must be asked the "Who told you to say that the (terrorist attack) in Benghazi was a "protest over a YouTube video"???

Tuesday was not April 2, 1780. It was July 3, 1863, and we were the guys in grey. Nevermind the fact that the Democrat party was the one fighting for slavery, but you know what I mean...

Anyway, many more battles are yet to take place, but the outcome is inevitable. We are past the tipping point. Romney was wrong about the 47%. It is now 51%. The dem strategy of impoverishing everyone they can and dropping them into their bag of welfare-dependent zombies has succeeded. They will now move swiftly to dismantle the economic infrastructure that might have led people to prosperity and independence and even more will fall into their camp.

You may be shocked to see how easily and comfortably people will be conditioned and settle into their lowered horizons, lessened and contrained lifestyle options and comprehensive government control over every aspect of their lives. We’ll be kept numb, entertained and indifferent through drugs, consequence-free sex, porn, professional sports, reality shows and celebrity gossip. In case you didn’t notice it, your public schools have been doing it to your children for two generations now, and for the past ten years agencies like the TSA have been doing it to adults. Look at what sheep we’ve become. Grown men and women playing ‘statues’ in the airport when some blue shirt slug yells ‘FREEZE!”

Obama is truly a towering historical figure who has presided over precisely what he said he’d do, fundamentally transform this country. He’s done it, achieved the liberal progressive dream. Gotta give him credit.

MARK LEVIN: We conservatives, we do not accept bipartisanship in the pursuit of tyranny. Period. We will not negotiate the terms of our economic and political servitude. Period. We will not abandon our child to a dark and bleak future. We will not accept a fate that is alien to the legacy we inherited from every single future generation in this country. We will not accept social engineering by politicians and bureaucrats who treat us like lab rats, rather than self-sufficient human beings. There are those in this country who choose tyranny over liberty. They do not speak for us, 57 million of us who voted against this yesterday, and they do not get to dictate to us under our Constitution.

We are the alternative. We will resist. We’re not going to surrender to this. We will not be passive, we will not be compliant in our demise. We’re not good losers, you better believe we’re sore losers! A good loser is a loser forever. Now I hear we’re called ‘purists.’ Conservatives are called purists. The very people who keep nominating moderates, now call us purists the way the left calls us purists. Yeah, things like liberty, and property rights, individual sovereignty, and the Constitution, and capitalism. We’re purists now. And we have to hear this crap from conservatives, or pseudo-conservatives, Republicans.

Thank you, fellow patriot. I needed that.
