Yes, for many, many, many, years I said the same...almost word for word.

You all will come around eventually.

Why don’t you show us where the author said, or even inferred, what you’re saying. Because I just read through it again and can’t see it.

George Washington warned us:

"Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths?"

It’s like a French battlefield around here lately, with all the white flags being waved.

Yet, true is true. The SCOTUS has completely eliminated any semblance of Federal restraint. Now we must hope that every election goes our way, because one bad election, and IT'S ON.

Time to vote ABO.

I'll join you in voting against Obama, but I'm not going to help you replace him with a liberal you like better. I'm voting against both liberals.

Win or lose, I'm voting for Tom Hoefling this year.

Thx Jim, but I fear/know that there just are not enough real men left in this country.

Janice Rogers Brown once talked about a book called “The Decline of Men”, she noted we used to think of a family as a man, a woman, and a child. Now, a remarkable new family pattern has emerged which she labeled “bureaugamy.” A new trinity: a woman, a child, and a bureaucrat.

Amazing how many men sit by and wait for Rinos to help them in the next election, how many men have sat by and let the gov steal their income, property, and now their private healthcare.

Many people have no idea the disaster Roberts unleashed.

If your fearful statement is true, it will be evident in time. I prefer to wait and see how things go in the coming weeks before condemning Roberts' decision as evil. If all is lost, well, there you go. But what if all is not lost just yet?

It is possible to be angry and motivated by this decision without giving up and throwing away every last possible advantage that may have been given to conservatives to correct this wrong.

Amazing, isn’t it? They’d rather whine about the loss than do something to win.

I think this is part of the grief process for some. And some just seem to prefer being losers. It’s easier than doing the hard work of winning elections, which is the only answer.

The people who aren’t just losers will burn themselves out on whining soon and get back to work. The rest never change and must be ignored. No candidate or judge is ever good enough, blah blah blah. It makes life so easy. You just sit back and proclaim that it’s all over, because the Man is holding you down! Wahh!

Good post - the Bush cultists and Robertsbots are insane and ridiculous.

Been hearing their rah rah GOP cheer leading garbage for too many years now. I figured most people would see right through it.

Cult is perfect description...Others I assume are party insiders who have no desire to lose their lofty positions and still others who are just not capable of critical thought.

I believe this whole two party system production, is one big rigged con job..Good cop bad cop....All setup to appease the easily led morons, as they're incrementally led down the path.

The wheels have fallen been ripped off our wagon and there's no way RINO Romney can or will fix it. We been screwed. Big time.

So Free Republic is now to be a site predicated on hopelessness and despair?

This is to be solely a home for those who think only fools continue to believe that our divinely-inspired institutions of over two centuries' standing can meet the test of our time?

Well, to what end will this site of defeat be dedicated? Prepping for societal collapse? Praying for the return of the King?

Our command has always been to have faith, to be not afraid, to carry on with our mission, and to know that the time of His return is known only to Him.

Did any of that change this week?

No I actually hope my state starts the secession process. Obama or Romney either way takes this country down the path of socialism.

Its definitely up to us. For my part I’m working to keep my congressman in office and will be voting to remove Debbie Stabenow.

Pete Hoekstra is already running ads reminding us that Lil Debbie supported Obamatax. He’s got some RINO tendencies of his own but if he wins the nomination I can make the compromise there.

Where do you guys get this stuff?

Facing the obvious facts about the utter uselessness and corruption of the Republican Party could only be interpreted as "hopelessness and despair" by those whose hope and faith were in the Republican Party in the first place.

Always.

I don't know about that, but those who love America as set forth in the Constitution are being forced to engage in politics by other means.

The real delusion is thinking you will destroy the GOP by supporting obama via a no hope 3rd party candidate.

Consider the below examples I came up with now totally legitimate under Roberts’ treasonous decision. This does not even scratch the surface of the congress’ new powers:

Apple lobbies obama and the congress to force people to buy an ipad as part of an “education law” or face a tax penalty - legal

Ruger lobbies Romney to force Americans to buy firearms and take self defense classes under ‘anti-Crime” law or face a tax - legal

Chevy wants to recoup its losses from the bailout by lobbying congress to force us to buy a volt or face a tax - legal

Solyndra lobbies obama to force americans to buy its solar panels under new “Environmental Law” or face a tax - legal

NYSC lobbies Romney to force people to buy gym memberships under new “Anti-Obesity” law or face a tax - legal

Monsanto lobbies Obama to force american to buy tomatos, salads, etc under new “Safe Food” law or face a tax - legal

Trek lobbies the congress and president to force people to by a mountain bike as part of “anti-obesity” law or face a tax - legal

Valvoline lobbies president and congress to mandate proof of oil changes in your car every 4,000 miles as part of “transportation law” or face a tax - legal

American Standard lobbies president and congress to by new toilet bowl w new tech as part of “safe water” act or face a tax - legal

Johnson and Johnson lobbies congress to force women to use “green tampons” as part of a “environmental law” or face a tax, legal

National Assoc. of Realtors lobbies Romney and the Congress as part of a “Economic Growth Law” to force Homeowners to purchase mandatory home warranty for 5 years - Legal

See where this is going folks? Roberts is a traitor as he almost single handidly made us slaves this week to literally anything these thugs in the congress want to compel us into.
