You all will come around eventually.

The One who has breathed a soul into my body, who knows my name, and who has written it in the Book of Life, has commanded me not to despair.

I will obey Him, and continue to fight for what I believe is right.

to carry on with our mission

The only "mission" I've been able to discern from your posts of late is the election of the most liberal governor in history to the presidency.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government"

Never thought it would ever need to ring true again!!!!

The real delusion is thinking you will destroy the GOP...

Why bother? The GOP is doing that all by itself.

Perhaps something else may happen instead. You just never can know for sure.

Mr. Robinson, is that really you today? Doesn’t sound like it.

Anything to maintain the status quo.

Best post I’ve seen in a VERY long time.

I’m tired of the delusional conservatives that believe any of that BS “news entertainment” shovels at us. Read for yourselves. Research for yourselves. Get the facts. This is why we are stuck with Romney (for whom I will NEVER vote). It is because we are so easily manipulated. And that is sad.

Again. GREAT post.

I think that is hopeful thinking, but I sure hope you’re right.

The leftist master plan is to make everything cost so much “we the sheeple” will beg for socialism so everything is “free”. Phase one of the plan is working perfectly. Cloward-Piven on steroids.....

No, you need 67 to override a veto; won’t happen. People love their liberal senators to “protect” them from the “interests”.

“IF any of these don’t happen, your constitution is effectively dead as a restraint on government. We cannot defeat the statists by pretending this isn’t the disaster that it is, if we can defeat them at all. ...that the house is ablaze, the barn is wiped out, the surviving farm animals running loose in a frantic bid to stay ahead of the flames licking at their heels, many are now telling you that it’s all okay. It will be fine.”

I read some, as of Friday, are preparing their families to survive independently as our government no longer represents them and they see its demise. It appears hopes for a better future, died Thursday. This USA came about due to unfair taxes imposed by the British Empire, and now it dies of its own imposed unconstitutional taxes. What irony.

“Never underestimate the power of self-delusion.”


Boy did you nail it. Ppl think the Roberts flip to Liberalism was bad, it would be NOTHING compared to what Romney will do. I have said it may times here ... I can fight Obama, I can’t (and neither can we) fight a President Romney. He will never, ever get my voite

Just one question for you: Can you spell the eff in "silver lining?"

I do not understand you here, Jim.

I am not talking about silver linings in the USSC Obamacare decision or anywhere else.

What I am doing is asking clear questions about the philosophy behind and the purpose of this site.

You have never spoken in riddles before. Why start now?

Over the last couple of months this site has become characterized by those who are actively seeking Obama's re-election and now, the ratification of Obamacare.

Maybe it is time for you to collect your thoughts and post an updated mission statement for FR that lays out whether those who are still engaged with America's existing political institutions, and who seek incremental progress toward restoring our Constitutional Republic through the ballot box, have any place here.

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.

You really don't see the second to last paragraph as defeatist? Basically as a call to give up?

If I misread it, or misunderstood your point in posting it, please explain to me where I erred.
