It's been a while since I've posted anything. Of course, the election of Obama was disappointing and I've been, among other things, taking some time to get acclimated to the news.

Or our wildest nightmares. (shudder)
Your nightmares must be pretty tame.
Our entire government turned over to Marxists and our sovereignty turned over to the UN. Illegals granted amnesty and a new generation coming in with impunity. The USA to become Canada writ large. Hyperinflation and Hyperunemployment.
I don't know about LC, but those are my MILDEST nightmares -- and my predictions under the new fuhrer.
I think this is going to be the fight we will see and if the republicans don’t put up a damn good fight against this, then we are sunk. Even if we were to be able to start a true conservative party, it would end with the same results as any other 3rd party. I am not optimistic.
I am usually very anti-third party. However, IF the GOP shrinks in every way possible, then a new, resurgent party that drew conservatives from all sides. MIGHT have a chance to become the second party.
I see no indication of any organizing effort that will accomplish that.
It might be a little early for that and I would suspect that if such a thing were to happen Newt would have a hand in it.
