This defeatism is such bullcrap.
Romney lost the election by only a few hundred thousand votes in battleground states. Lost the popular vote by a swing of 1.5 million votes. 6 million fewer voters for Romney than McCain. Obama had a decline of 14 million fewer voters since 2008.
Only 1% of the population was responsible for keeping Obama in office. Hardly a rationale for committing suicide.
BUMP!
...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, ...
When elected officials and bureaucracies act outside the law they are simply lawbreakers. When the majority of the people vote in favor of the lawlessness that has greatly manifested itself in the highest offices they have withdrawn their consent to be governed by a constitutional government. By what legitimate basis does the United States of America, as a Constitutional republic, still exist?
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
'The People' no longer support that. They voted in support of lawlessness from the highest office on down. They voted against the rule of law. By referendum we now have a banana republic. The USAINO.
A majority is a majority, however thin the margin. Suicide is probably the wrong word to use here, though. Obama campaigned against America - and won. What will remain of this nation in four, eight, twelve years, nobody can say for sure. It may indeed be too late to preserve it.
Easy win when your opponent is ahead; Destroy and/or erase his votes.
It’s not defeatism it’s the truth. The country voted for Obama regardless of how and why you want to spin it, he won. There was a clear choice, any conservative that stayed on the sidelines is just as guilty and just as responsible for the outcome of the next 4 years. “We can’t afford 4 more years” was not just a political slogan it was a prophecy. It’s over friend America sliced into a nice thick vein on Nov 6th and is now bleeding out in the bathtub of history.
Agreed. And Obama doesn't even sizzle.
That will end up being one of the great mysteries of my life. I've always thought Obama is one of the worst public speakers ever....
And apparently I'm the only one on planet earth that thinks it.
You aren't getting it. Obama was the most radical, destructive, and incompetent president we have ever had when he was holing it all in to win re-election.
Obamacare will be the end of decent health care and create another forever entitlement when we can't even pay for the ones we already have.
Obama has already run up $6 trillion in debt and has nothing to show for it. Now he will increase taxes, which will further depress the economy and as a consequence, tax revenues at the same time spending goes into warp overdrive since the republican house is preemptively surrendering on that issue.
The defense industry is already starting massive layoffs and that is just the first round before the fiscal cliff hits.
Our credit rating has already taken a hit when it was a reasonable assumption Obama might be stopped.
Obama was bowing and scraping to every tinhorn dictator on the planet from day one. He has turned his back on every ally and embraced every enemy on their terms. Now Iran, North Korea and every other rogue state has 4 more years to promote terrorism and proliferate nuclear weapons uninhibited.
With all this, the nation still elected him. I am curious as to what exactly he would have to do to actually lose.
That is what national suicide looks like. In four years we won't be able to recover even if Washington, Lincoln and Reagan walk out of their tombs to lead us and we wouldn't vote for them even if they did.
In 2000 there were 45.6 Million Retirees and SSI
In 2004 there were 47.6 Million Retirees and SSI (+ 2 Million over 4 years)
In 2008 there were 50.7 Million Retirees and SSI (+ 3 Million over 4 years)
Today there are 68.1 Million Retirees and SSI (+ 17.4 Million in 4 Obama years)
We are in some deep dodo.... The people are not returning to the workforce they are claiming mental illness and disability and it is destroying social security for everyone but the Democrats are promoting this and the media is silent.
