I advocated the election of Al Gore back in 2000 as an example of opportunities lost. I am confident, his lunacy would have brought about conservative blow-back strong enough to reset this nation on its right track. We are not offered an "Al Gore" very often and missed the boat on that chance. Instead, we elected you know who and he resulted in the thing we have now, which is a far worse option than Al Gore ever could have been. This country has paid an awful price for this mistake.
At first glance, this ruling appears to be one thing. Upon further reflection, it might actually be the opposite. "If" this results in a Patriotic revulsion of all things currently Washington D.C. and introduces a new appreciation for the work of the Founding Fathers, it might have been the best of several ways to get there. Remember, we are dealing with an election cycle and alternate rulings might or might not have been less effective towards the ability to achieve the desired end result. Anger spurs action. Ask yourself, just who it is that is really, really angry right now? I see this as a good thing. Bad rulings can be overturned or eliminated with new law. Let us all work towards getting as many of our type of "law-makers" elected this fall. That is our one and ONLY job to be concerned with.
Roberts ridiculous ruling has simplified everything.
The problem is less about conservative apathy than conservative nullificaition or overwhelm. That doesn’t read clearly.
The problem is not a failure of conservatives to demand representation from their government. The problem is that we are at or beyond the tipping point where there are more takers than givers, and the votes of the leeches outweighs the votes of the productive. Add to this the magnification of the parasite’s voices because the treasonous MSM bellows their voices while muting conservative voices.
We are just outnumbered is all. There won’t be a conservative revolution because there are more takers than workers, and the takers want their freebees.
There will be a temporary setback for the left wing because the horrible economy has long ago doomed Obama’s re-election chances. So we will have the liberal Republican Romney, and at least he will be far less damaging short term than Obama is short term.
After Romney we will get another Marxist president, and the march toward totalitarianism will continue apace.
I think we were on the high side of the tipping point before the flood of immigrants in 1992. Since then, we have been swamped and now we are just overwhelmed. The votes of hard working middle class native-born Americans are just being swamped by the votes of the takers and the new immigrants.
Hard left-wing tyranny is not baked into the cake, and it is just a question of whether or not we conservatives can muster a rear-guard delaying action, or whether totalitarianism comes relatively quickly.
Either way, I grieve for people’s great-grandchildren, who won’t know freedom. At 53 years old, I seriously doubt I will see totalitarian oligarchic rule in the remainder of my lifetime, but it is coming. I won’t be TOTALLY shocked if totalitarian tyranny is ushered in so fast that I am victim of it before my lifetime is over, but I think it is decades away not years. JMHO.
So dreams of this ruling causing a backlash that results in renewed conservative political revolution are sweet dreams, but I really think we are swamped by our foes. Think Custer here. We’re just outnumbered at this point. Yes, we have the moral high ground and superior weapons, but we are just outnumbered and surrounded because our lifelong traitors showed the Persians the way around our defense in the pass at Thermopylae.
Don’t forget to thank Ginsberg, Kagan, Sotomayor and Breyer for being co-conspirators in this great conservative plot to restore the Constitution.
