I know it seems hopeless at times, but it’s not. There are millions upon millions of Americans who are fed up with Washington D.C. Granted. The forces arrayed against us are formidable, but we stand for the truth—not some pie in the sky paradise on Earth that’s simply impossible and has failed everywhere it’s been tried.

We have to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and continue the fight. America is worth it. Americans, those of us who still believe in self reliance, liberty, and morality, are worth it, too, and there are millions of us!

Agreed. It's NOT hopeless.

I do think the article does expose the spirit that BHO has spread upon the land, it's the hideous gray fog of socialism, the one that says give up, it's hopeless.

It's a spirit we have to fight, both personally and as a group. I think that's the message to take away here.

Last week, Congress gave up the last effective tool it had to oppose Obama. Knuckling under Obama’s threat to blow up world finance, Congress gave away, for all practical purposes, the power of the purse.

In the aggregate, Obama determines how much and where money is spent, what the law is, and how his law is enforced. Add a compliant federal court system to uphold his outrages, and I'd say his hold on executive, legislative and judicial authority is just about complete.

You counsel to “dust ourselves off, and continue the fight.” If you mean we should continue to pretend voting in national elections can restore republican freedom, I don't see how that can happen. Obama stole the 2012 election, and the machinery is in place to ensure the rats never lose another.
