We need new leadership or a new party - there is no middle ground.

I dont see any leadership skills in the current crop in office. A new party would take years to establish. We're screwed.

The darkest hour is always just before the dawn. I don't know why the hell that's true, but I've been on this planet long enough to know that it just is.

Desperation sometimes breeds determination and determination invites decisiveness and decisive action often brings victory. As a conservative, I feel a bit (and just a tiny bit, out of respect) like the elements of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne, cut off and surrounded outside Foy in Belgium in December of 1944. They suffered terrible personal loss, whereas we will likely only suffer politically and economically. But they never gave up and never gave in.

Nuts. I would love to see even 1/10 of the grit and determination of those men in our presumptive leaders. I don't mean to over-dramatize, because our stakes are not yet that high. But I believe the path we are presently on will lead back to such times, and I fear that we are not as equipped to deal with it as those who went before us; for they were better men whose example we can only hope to follow.
