Now the nation can truly begin a healing process. It is time for the people to begin to come together again.

You're kidding, right?

Not going to happen.
Too many have been taking for too long. Think they're going to wake up one morning and say, "I guess I'll get a job since the government won't support me"?

This country will always be at odds - the takers against the makers - and it will always be a battle to determine who is in charge.

They want "shared prosperity", we want "shared opportunity".

They will never make the decision to be self-sufficient because they have always been dependent (and happily so) and enabled by socialist powers.

"Obama's stash"? Remember her?

Nonsense.

We aren't "coming together" just because the Republicans won an election. There is still a large minority of democrats who either worship government or who feel that the the democrats promised them a larger share of the working taxpayer plunder, and those people are NOT going to work with anyone.

Take the GA senate race.
Percent Votes
DAVID A. PERDUE (R) 52.94% 1,355,433
M. MICHELLE NUNN (D) 45.15% 1,155,869

There are 1,155,869 people who think that 0bama is a good thing and wanted to put Nunn in the senate to support his socialistic/statist policies.

You are delusional.

The 2016 campaign starts today.

Obama will be more defiant and outspoken. Elections have consequences.

No! The Progressives have to be sent packing. We can not risk any more of their foolishness.

“We only want them to follow the rule of law.”

For there are two kinds of plunder: legal and illegal.

I do not think that illegal plunder, such as theft or swindling — which the penal code defines, anticipates, and punishes — can be called socialism. It is not this kind of plunder that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Anyway, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the command of these gentlemen. The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. Long before the Revolution of February 1848 — long before the appearance even of socialism itself — France had provided police, judges, gendarmes, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds for the purpose of fighting illegal plunder. The law itself conducts this war, and it is my wish and opinion that the law should always maintain this attitude toward plunder.

The Law Defends Plunder

But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder, and it is of this, no doubt, that Mr. de Montalembert speaks.

This legal plunder may be only an isolated stain among the legislative measures of the people. If so, it is best to wipe it out with a minimum of speeches and denunciations — and in spite of the uproar of the vested interests.

How to Identify Legal Plunder

But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.

Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals. If such a law — which may be an isolated case — is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and develop into a system.

The person who profits from this law will complain bitterly, defending his acquired rights. He will claim that the state is obligated to protect and encourage his particular industry; that this procedure enriches the state because the protected industry is thus able to spend more and to pay higher wages to the poor workingmen.

Do not listen to this sophistry by vested interests. The acceptance of these arguments will build legal plunder into a whole system. In fact, this has already occurred. THE PRESENT-DAY DELUSION IS AN ATTEMPT TO ENRICH EVERYONE AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYONE ELSE; to make plunder universal under the pretense of organizing it.

Legal Plunder Has Many Names

Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.

Now, since under this definition socialism is a body of doctrine, what attack can be made against it other than a war of doctrine? If you find this socialistic doctrine to be false, absurd, and evil, then refute it. And the more false, the more absurd, and the more evil it is, the easier it will be to refute. ABOVE ALL, IF YOU WISH TO BE STRONG, BEGIN BY ROOTING OUT EVERY PARTICLE OF SOCIALISM THAT MAY HAVE CREPT INTO YOUR LEGISLATION. This will be no light task.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder.

DEPOPULATE socialists/RINOS from the body politic. DEFUND their collectives foreign and domestic.

Any outgoing socialist scumbags that were part of the problem need to pay up. Incoming need to take notice.

No we need to distinguish ourselves and offer clear alternative to repair the serious damage done. Cooperating and working with these fools is like playing Jenga. It looks like you’re building something and making progress, but in the end it just collapses.

The problem is NOT political. Our nation will not heal until the people turn back to God.

Who are we supposed to unite with? Baby-killing, queer-loving, amnesty-pimping Communists?

Sorry, I have no common ground with that.

You are foolhardy to think this will happen. The divide will only accelerate now. Obama and his handlers and minions will move to punish his enemies in We the People. Civil War is more likely now that the Republicans won than on Monday.

You have got to be kidding me. We will be lucky if we are not in a civil war by 2016. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
