While some “conservatives” are busy forming circular firing squads, Obama is continuing to destroy the country. Maybe that is where the focus should be.

Hope you are happy that you are enabling Obama.

Obama plan: Cut tax breaks for richest retirement savers

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3125572/posts

“President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress in early March, as part of his fiscal 2015 budget, to reduce some of the tax advantages for employer-sponsored retirement plans for higher-income earners, according to published reports.

Plus, the president wants to limit the value of all tax deductions, defined contribution exclusions and IRA deductions to 28% of income — and include an overall cap on all retirement accounts, including pensions, that could bring in $1 billion a year in new tax revenue, according to a Pensions & Investments report. “

Let's say Romney had won. Had he won, EVERY logical indication is that he would have instigated his own government-run intrusive micro-managing health care (see RomneyCare), he would have nominated DEMOCRAT activist judges at a two-to-one ratio to Republican judges; he would have totally supported punishing Americans who peacefully, civilly rejected open homosexual "outreach" in their kids' schools and youth groups, or at adoption agencies, or in the military, etc.; he would have been on the side of gun control advocates; he would be against the overturn of Roe v Wade and would have been FOR mandatory inclusion of abortion in his own nationalized health care "solution" of micromanaging personal and employer relationships with doctors and health insurance; AND he would have sided WITH tyrannical environmentalism and their global warming ruse. I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE. This is why I know that these are the things he would be doing right now, under the auspices of "Republican."

If Romney had won, what would matter right now -- what we voted "against" or what we voted FOR?

If he was in office right now, Innovative, would YOU be willing to be responsible for the consequences of your actions, YOU having voted FOR him?

Two things are wholly imaginary: circular firing squads, and purists.

They are illusions, completely pretend. Very REAL and concrete, on the other hand, are angry people like you who accuse others of being purists or part of a circular firing squad.

You base your vote and political strategery on a lot of imaginary, pretend things. I used to be right there next to you, so I understand pretty well your feelings. I once shared them, including your anger.

However, time wised me up: when you depend on imaginary things to achieve an outcome, the outcome forever remains elusive.

You did make a very intelligent statement: that you wished people would start taking responsibility for the consequences of their own actions.

I DID take responsibility for the consequences of my voting approach, said consequence being the Republican party driven so far to the left that we ended up with literally a functional statist Democrat as a Republican presidential candidate. I took responsibility, because I realized it was a consequence of how I had voted for decades.

When are YOU going to practice what you preach?
