On the bright side, they had started a shopping list on the note pad with one item: "Foil". My 17 year old daughter saw it and picked up the pen and changed it with one stroke to "Fail". Rarely more proud of her!

I finally found a way to articulate, via analogy, why I don’t care if the R’s take over congress in November.
Switching party control in government now is like changing crews AFTER the Titanic hit the iceberg. It may change how effective the lifeboats are used, but the ship is still going down and there are not enough lifeboats.
IOW, it’s pretty irrelevant who is in control.

Some people just can't stand a little bit of criticism.
My father was very much like that and it probably killed him.

So why not name it, Socialist Democrats want to silence the citizenry?

I agree that if the GOP goes in "business as usual", we're probably still in trouble. But I don't agree that we are doomed; at some point the people will rise up and demand sanity in leadership.
I believe that if we rolled back the stiumlus bills, use the remaining money to pay down the deficit, reduce taxes and hand the money making over to the private sector; remove regulatory and taxation restrictions to keep and lures businesses back to the USA, we might have a really good chance at restoring our country.
The problem with obama is the old, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way"; we know he can't lead, his ego won't let him follow, and he won't get out of the way. Maybe November will be the nudge he needs.
The reason we are in trouble now is there are too many people who have just thrown up their hands and cried "uncle". The resistance that is going on now by the TPM and others is what should have happened during the clinton administration. We need a nationwide condemnation of the democrat party for what it has become...the communist party.
Remember, the Titanic sank because they were a) going to fast; b) weren't watching out for the 'bergs c) took the wrong route. Maybe those things have been our problem too.
If you try to give equality to those who already feel superior to you, you are insulting them.

An interesting idea. Do we have any historians out there who can list 18th - 20th century uprisings and what became of them?
To: Mr. Dough
Ask him specifically which Republican lies he has heard, and enjoy the sound of chirping crickets.
This works with most liberals!

The book How To Stage a Military Coup (Hebditch & Connor, ISBN 978-3-60239-375-2) has an appendix listing approximately 150 military coups from the 1960s to date. Most were failures. However, these were not popular uprisings. In most cases they were a would-be dictator trying to replace an incumbent dictator.
My own book (see tag line) lists a few revolutions, some successful and some unsuccessful, and discusses the reasons for success or failure.

Ask him if he read this book by Obama's information czar...
And see if he agrees with it.

No, that is not what I am saying. To use another analogy, the party in charge is the “bus driver” and we are on a bus going 70 miles an hour. The driver just looked up from his text message to see the bumper of a STOPPED semi 100 feet ahead. It really doesn’t matter how skilled the driver is, we’re gonna rear end the truck. Hard.
Here is some nice background info:

This problem has been AT LEAST 37 years in the making. There is no human solution to this. All we can do is, (to return to the Titanic analogy) use the lifeboats as efficiently as possible and make it as painless as possible.
But it’s gonna hurt. For many it already is.

That is what John Galt did. I am choosing my battle. My faith is in God, not man. And man has screwed this up beyond his ability to fix it.
I expect a major war. I’m talking WWII sized war.

This.
Except this ship did it for over 100 years and it just got more and more irresponsible as time went on. We’ve now hit the iceberg and, well, we all know how it ends.
I’m holding out to be one of the “Molly Browns” though. ;)
