America will come to her senses. And after we hold The White House, we’ll plan the next Reagan Revolution.
So very many of us are ready. :)
Although I disagree with President Bush on many issues, and John McCain on a few, I THANK GOD that President Bush made the appointments to the SCOTUS that he did.
We dodged a bullet for a little while, there. :)
That is about how it goes in the plow business...I have only had one custumer not pay. A lawyer. Broke me leg salting his lot, but the problems involved with suing a lawyer...
That was the day he didn’t pay me for.
BTW, he is no longer on our plow list. I hope the a-hole gets his tail sued off, when the snow comes this winter.
Don’t forget the Supreme Court, Justices Stevens and Ginsberg are no spring chickens as are most of the others. Just remember, we won the Heller (DC Gun ban case) by ONE vote, what if BO appoints 3 or 4 Justices, we will be so boned. (as they say on “Futurerama.”)
Too many people assume that once stalinists take power we will continue to have meaningful elections. Stalinists don’t do elections. If they do,they are fixed.
I keep hearing the old “Doors” song, “blood in the streets.....”
Yes, once we get 20 million “new citizens” from south of the border, no Republican will ever be elected President ever again.
He "will" have two years? We "will" see. 19 days to go until the election and you've given it to Obama?
Anyway, as the article points out it may be too late even by the mid term elections, IF Obama is elected.
Read the article....
From Jimmy Carter came Reagan
Please, lets not get so hysterical!
(And I think McCain’s going to pull it off - thanks to Palin & Joe the Plummer)
If BHO wins, look for all out civil war when he tries to take away the rights of the common people. I know I’ll be among the protesters, federal employee or not.
But there is a world of difference between Carter, especially the Carter of the 1970s, and The One. There's also a big difference in the Democratic Party. No more Sam Nunn's, or Herbert Humphreys. Just hacks like Biden, and outright Marxists like Obama, and more of the latter all the time.

Country will be stuck with B.O.
Carter (I lived through his presidency) was just a complete soft-lefty loser. Obama is a whole different kettle of fish. He’s a fascist dictator in the making, and if he gets in, our country will never be the same.
Dear God in Heaven, have mercy on your people and take us out of here before this antichrist comes to power!
I was a teenager during the Carter presidency. I remember the Nightly News always making one excuse after another for him. He was incompetent then and incontinent now. God help us.
Mine is a combination of different solutions:
1. From a purely self-interested and liberty-loving standpoint, I’d suggest splitting all those huge western states into smaller states or better yet, let states keep their cultural and state government traditions but for federal elections construct “administrative districts” that serve the same purpose for states for purposes of representation.
Imagine ND, SD, Montana, Washington (freed from the tyranny of WW) much of California, etc all having two senate votes, multiplied by two or three. If a tiny, no-account state like Rhode Island can have two Senators, surely a large state like California can be truly representative and have 10-16 but NOT elected by the entire state only by the administrative district.
The other thing would be that the Constitution is the only law for states to follow but that ‘home rule’ would be in effect. Therefore, no state or federal health insurance but if Chicago ITSELF wanted it, it could do so. This would more easily allow people to vote with their feet and even fence in the liberal archipelago of tyranny and crime.
By combining these two, I’d think you might find the liberal ‘tribe’ quite content to ruin their own little plots (which they already do) but unable to ruin the entire state (as WW does with the rest of WA state.) YOu’d also have land matter more in national elections. Just because a lot of people opt to live in a five square mile radius, does that mean they should make policy for the other half of the state’s population that doesn’t?
This would prevent the need for secession or the like (as leftists would only infiltrate our areas and then try to expand and subvert as they always do) and allow leftists the right to still vote and carry on as they believe they should but without the ability to substantively destroy the meaning and practice of the Constitution or founding principles EXCEPT inside the confines of their little areas.
Damage likely to be fatal tot his country.
Expect early “retirement” of a couple of conservative justices. Otherwise, he’s just replacing liberals with other liberals.
Wrong! No matter how revoltingly bad an Obama presidency would be, the author overlooks the fact that sometime before the next midterm election, there will be 20 to 30 million "instant new voters" created on a single day (only some of whom are already in the country at the moment). They will be given a blanket amnesty, citizenship, voter cards, instructions in their native language on how to fill out a ballot with all the Democrat names selected, and a dire warning message that if they do NOT vote Democrat the rest of their lives, their citizenship might be taken away by rabid Republicans.
In around 2024 to 2028, there will be a slight, slight chance of a Republican President, but only if Bobby Jindal learns fluent Spanish, and swears on a Bible to keep all the Democrat-implemented womb-to-tomb social programs and 80% taxes on "the wealthy" (who by then will be anyone making over $20,000 a year).
