When I see what is happening today in our country, I always think of these people in WW2, and WW1, and the Civil and Revolutionary wars, and say to myself, “why did these people fight and die if all they were fighting for is for America to become a socialist hell-hole of gayly married welfare recipients who not only are not American, but who hate America and its laws and traditions.” Americans are now a remnant population within our borders. We will need to recreate our own America at some point, peopled by those who love America, freedom, our constitution, culture and our way of life.

Beautifully said, Defiant. You have summed up in just a few sentences the real and indescribably painful tragedy that is felt by the remnant of American patriots, the number of whom is growing smaller by the day.

Since the 60s, I'd estimate, each generation of Americans has been less aware of their proud heritage, and, as a result, less aware of the precious value of individual liberty, which is precisely why there is always an increasing number of Americans who simply don't care about the former (God forbid) and aren't willing to defend the latter.

All of the patriots you mentioned who fought, and many who died, in those wars will have died for no reason if we contine to forfeit our liberties and allow ourselves to be enslaved. It's impossible to wrap one's mind around the immensity of that ingratitude.

Australia? South America? Western Canada?

I’m all for an adventure. ;)

Spot on! I feel Zer0 has prolonged the recession to drag more people kicking and squealing to the government trough. The recession is is like a huge hurricane that has left millions stripped of all their possessions and looking for a government solution. It has turned independent men into dependents who will vote Obama for their own self interest. This is the strategy of the Obamas.

As I sat watching the Democrat National Convention last week, a constant thought kept coming to mind:

The Bill of Rights was explicitly designed to protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority.

But what protects the majority from the tyranny of a highly ideological, determined, vocal (and rather tiny, populationwise) minority — who shred and reject the Constitution because it's "inconvenient" to the implementation of their goals?

Will the majority stand up to them, and vote the people who literally hate America and everything she stands for out of the Oval Office and Congress on November 6th?

I wish I felt confident that they will; but I don't.
