“Are we at the point of no return?”

The marxists are...

Well, Obama sure does not work for Jesus.

I say we're at the point where electoral politics cannot help us. Bad laws have been passed. These laws punish the productive. These laws reward the unproductive. Citizens voted for the people who put these laws in place, and to a large extent, these citizens still like the idea of laws that give them free goodies.

With citizenry like that, no election results are likely to make substantial gains to give us back the country we have lost.

Politics by other means is the only way. We're at that point. By the way, the government is cracking down on militias in MI and seizing guns in Oregon. And the heath care bill (oddly enough) allows Obama to raise a private domestic army. The government is getting ready for the fight. They know it's coming.

Not impossible, just nearly.

Yes, we are. People are not going to choose to vote away their entitlements, now that they have them. There will be no salvation from this socialist enslavement now until the entire system utterly collapses and the survivors start to rebuild.

We have been on the road to Socialism since 1933 and no one in DC since then has applied the brakes or attempted to change course as they continue to pass additional government programs year after year.

We have reached the event horizon and are spiraling into the black hole.

Blackaby wrote “Experiencing God”. “The Purpose Driven Life” is by Rick Warren. (Between the two, I would put much more stock in what Blackaby has to say than what Warren says.)

Plato foresaw the problems of Obama millenia ago:

The question is what can we do? The majority has learned that they can tax the minority.

I am half thinking that the best solution is to make the problem worse. If we all go John Galt and take advantage of as many government freebies (and demand more) as we can, it will hasten the collapse. Then we want to be in a position, at the State level to start over again.

The longer this drags out the worse it will be.

"The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once".

“Are we at the point of no return?”

I would say so - the ‘rats are in command and we are hopelessly split on the Right.

[wtc911]

The fight is engaged and I'm up for it. But, if we lose then I'm out of here. My wife feels the same. I (we) will not live our final decades in IRS enforced servitude, watching as our individual freedoms vanish.

Our families came here because their homelands stifled their freedom and mobility. When they came the USA offered them that freedom and mobility. If the USA shuts that down then I will seek it elsewhere.

I'd rather get old and die in a country where they don't speak my language but that lets me live the way I want than in a country that has stolen all that I value.

The difference between socialism and communism is the voting process. This is communism.

[humblegunner]

Wow, that blog is whacked. It lists Free Republic as an "exceptional blogger".

Does the author of that drivel really think FR is a blog?

I pity the fool.

“Are we at the point of no return’’? Never. Not as long as there is The Second Amendment.
