This thread has the potential to become among the more important threads that have appeared on FreeRepublic. History can come from free open discussion and decision making. FreeRepublic can influence Republican thinking regardless of whether it supports or walks away from the Republicans in the fall. And it can influence Republican thinking regardless of whether Republicans win or lose in the fall. Free open discussion of ideas are the foundation of our Republic and our freedoms. I would invite all Freepers to participate in this thread and state your thoughts. I sincerely believe our Country, our freedoms, our heritage and our way of life are at stake. We have been losing. Even when we have won some victories, we have not turned our ship of state from it descent into socialism. Soon the descent into socialism will be both irreversible and a financial disaster that will make salvage of even the remnants difficult.
I see no way to save a nation that has bought into the social and corporate welfare state like we have. It's going to self destruct, but it's going to destroy what productive members it has trying to maintain itself.
With vast immigration, and the little understanding our citizens have of the founders intentions, I'm not sure we will like what emerges on the other side.
