.....Given how far gone we are, is there any reason to keep fighting?

At the dedication of a cemetery at the Civil War’s bloodiest battlefield, Lincoln urged the citizens of a war-weary Union to stay the course (“that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion”). Therefore, “We highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.”

Do we want all of our war dead – from Bunker Hill to Kabul – to have died in vain? Will the sacrifices of our veterans, of the Pilgrims, the pioneers, and those who labored on farms and sweated in factories mean nothing in the long-run? Are we to give up without a fight because our future looks increasingly dim – due to the dimwits in public office and the sheep who put them there?

If so, then, as Mr. Lincoln prophesied, the American idea of one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all surely will “perish from this earth,” and humanity will enter a Dark Age more savage and terrifying than the one which followed the fall of Rome.

The whole federal government experiment has failed with fedgov over-expanding. I think it just needs to be abolished. It's not like we actually need it for anything.

What makes you think the lights will even be working when
that time comes?

If it comes to past, then likely the last American will die
looking down his rifle barrel, in some foxhole, on a
distant ridgeline, in middle America.

"is there any reason to keep fighting"

Should Obama be reelected imagine your heart on that day and be geared to confront the ABR crowd.

To the ABR crowd.. the crowd that fancies their pride to be principle.. save your fetid breath and your nauseating rationalizations. Every one on this board is aware of who Romney is. You don't have special knowledge nor unique insight. Just do what you do and then be ready to go to hell.
