The other side of the coin though, is that somw old habits and mores, (love of country, respect for the constitution, strong work ethic etc) Will be replaced with nanny statism, globalism, further social degradation.

I hope not. I hold out hope that the nation doesn’t lose and actually regains its self-dignity. And I share your trepidations about the beltway republicans. WHY aren’t Paul Ryan’s ideas being embraced by the GOP? Well, I have a pretty good idea. Old-boy network, indeed.

I do NOT believe that. This is what the Tea Party is all about.

Statism, Globalism, et al are all being replaced with, what the hell do we need to do to preserve the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!!!!!!

How else do you explain that BAWNET FWRANK is now on the ropes in MassaKennedyitz????

No, I say that the tide has turned, that the First Wave is on its way, and that the successive waves will have it easier...;-))

I believe when all votes are in and time elapses, we will find Americans will return to the American way of work, insurance, pay for medical and health care, NO government cradle to grave meddling. The progressives will be seen as the communists they are and will be replaced by Americans who believe in the American Ideas. Those who won’t work will have to learn to do, as they did in the past, the newcomers on welfare will also have to learn to work, the welfare rolls will dwindle. Those who’ve never worked will have to learn to bend over and pick up after themselves and those on the stoops will have to learn to walk. I believe in America and Americans. We will survive...whose who don’t want to live as we do will move away.
