I believe it still exists in the hearts and minds of about 85% of the citizens. It’s the libs in Congress and the media who want us to believe it doesn’t.

Does the United States of America still exist?

Only until next Tuesday if the people elect Barack Obama.

This is a very serious election. It really has been the last few elections. Demonrats and the stereotype that surrounds them are the enemy within. These are not good people who want a peaceful, fair election. It is surreal to watch the press, entertainment, schools be nothing more than propaganda for Demonrats and their assorted nutbags. This is deliberate and malicious. It’s criminal and I could see this coming to conflict because they will move right away to deny all dissent and honest ‘elections’. Look what they’re doing in Ohio!! These people need their own dose of anger and we had better be prepared what may be coming up in January with the inaugural and the radicals in charge. We will officially be dead if Obama gets the presidency. What a sad ending indeed.

Since the 1960’s the public schools and the media have been relentless in indoctrinating the public in leftist doctrine. How can anyone expect that Americans will support “traditional” American values when these values are constantly trashed by the left leaning establishment? Same in England. Most don't understand history because they never get to study history. Its all part of the Leftist revolution that was launched in the 1930’s and accelerated in the 1960’s Ayers, Alinsky, et al have been working on this revolution for years. The public is now finally dumb enough to believe the story. This will be the last election where there are enough traditional Americans to vote for traditional values. The Greatest Generation is dying off and the only folks left are those indoctrinated by the Left. Media, teachers unions, an education system DOMINATED by the left... Nobody but parochial schools are telling the truth anymore. We need to get serious or fact the inevitable that we have p*ssed our birthright away for drugs, sex and rock and roll!

Allowing espionage agents(socialists) to teach out children for at least 40 years could have something to do with the problem.. WHO allowed those agents at the kids?... The republican party did.. Americas federal schools have been graduating brain washed socialists for a long time..

Chickens are roosting and foxes are in hen houses all over this country this year..

The United STATES of America died with Abraham Lincoln. The national government that arose from its ashes is now breathing its last, replaced step-by-step with a “democratic socialist” state. Soon the last vestiges of the Constitution will be “precedented” out of existence by an activist Supreme Court. Read “Who Killed the Constitution” by Thomas Woods and Kevin Gutzman for “chapter and verse”.

The majority of Americans are center-right. It is the MSM and the radical left Dems that do not want us to belive so.

Great post and many good comments. I have asked this as well..and I believe much of the decline is due to liberal teachings in schools and colleges that has formed a generation of liberal youth. I also believe the churches, once known to be the moral compass now speak to soft issues and not the culture. This has had another impact. I also believe the fact many Americans are just not informed, watch sitcoms vs. news and don’t take action has resulted in just ‘we’ the remnant that really know the truth and care. On a brighter note, I believe God and prayer can restore us but if we commit to fighting on our knees as well as with our voices and votes.

Only as the USSA.

I love my country, but I don't like what it's becoming.

The democratic party has been completely taken over by the extreme left, who is the driving force behind the deep hatred and intolerance so evident in the last several elections.

The bad news is that there appears to be no end in sight. With the left dominating the government, the mass media and the schools and colleges, they are finally in a position to realize their life-long dream - the destruction of the American way of life replaced by their version of a socialist utopia.

And if the voters succeed in installing Barack Obama as their President, they will have taken a giant step towards that goal.

No.

It does not.

Not in any Constitutional REAL sense.

The GPTB have shredded the Constitution and our way of life under the table increasingly for many decades. At least the 5 I’ve been watching closely.

They are about to make it very overt.

Nationalist forces worked ceaselessly to consolidate power away from the various states and into a strong central government, particularly since the Internal War of the 1860s, a war that was substantially about this very issue.

In settlement of that war, the nationalists consolidated power by passing an amendment to the Constitution for the direct election of members of the Senate. Previously those members were elected by the legislatures of the various states.

The United States of the Constitution of 1789 no longer exists. The present Constitution lacks a 10th Amendment. It also lacks one that restrains eminent domain. The Commerce and Welfare clauses have infinite implied powers. All these factors conspire to allow the federal government any power it cares to take up. Indeed, it has even taken the power to decide who is a “person”.

It is now a Leviathan, an entity that exists for its own purposes, and whose citizens exist to supply its needs.

The media and academia have been effective in pursuing the objective of the Frankfurt School. They and people like Antonio Gramsci knew that it was necessary to make people ashamed of their history and traditions in order to replace their existing culture with another.

There’s nothing “UNITED” about our Republic anymore. Hasn’t been since Reagan left office. You can pretty much see where the dividing line began to be drawn because of Bush 41’s inability to be elected for a 2nd term and the overwhelming popularity of Clinton for the left and independents, the radical left began to see their window of opportunity opening. The country began to divide under Clinton, but as political equilibrium will do, the pendulum swung back to the conservatives when we elected Bush 43 in a Supreme Court-tested election that most leftists still believe was stolen. Re-election in 04 was also stolen, and so, just like toddlers who have had a toy snatched from their hands, the left has sought to find a ‘mommy’ who would take the toy back and give it to them. The MSM has been the ‘mommy’ who has taken overt steps to give the toddlers on the left their toy back, because it’s theirs! WAHHHHH!

I believe it’s truly becoming a possibility that these United States may have to divide and the 232 year democratic experiment will cease. How many of us here would agree that looking across the US at the states in trouble today are the ones led by Democratic majority governments and those that are maintaining solvency are those with Republican majority governments. Can we expect any different with an overtly socialist president, congress and justice system for the next four years?

Has it become time to consider the possibility of a division of leadership philosophy? Let’s let the leftists have their blue states, and let’s take our red states, kick out the federal government that’s been nothing but reckless and negligent with our future, and see which side lasts the longest. We know with the left’s tax and spend policies, no businesses would dare base in their ‘country’ and soon they’d have no one to tax but the poor. They wouldn’t have any money to support a defense, so it would be relatively easy to use the defense of the red states (because we know all the defense programs would stay with the red states)to overthrow their silly puppet government. And then, we could get our country back.

I suppose it’s going to take letting the uneducated, ignorant masses living in a leftist government before they understand the flaws in that way of life. Let’s let them. I’m for taking my country back however we need to do it(through peaceable means, of course).

This election is the last, desperate gasp of the “1968’ers” in this country. They are the old hippie radical left that Obama is a true poster child for. Marxist, anti American racists who wish to see this country destroyed.

Why is it their last gasp?

It is ALL about the Supreme Court. They have tried for decades to get their agenda rammed through in a variety of ways and the only way that has been somewhat successful has been through Supreme Court rulings. See Roe v. Wade for the first and biggest example of that one.

There are 2, possibly 3 justices that want to retire and the Democrats want to make sure they can stack the Federal courts and the Supreme Court with their like minded “fellow travelers”. Once they do that they can then bypass the will of the people as expressed by the legislative and executive branches of government and with carefully crafted lawsuits then proceed to rip up the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The only way to rescind a Supreme Court ruling is with a constitutional amendment and that requires 38 states to do and that would be almost impossible to get done-see Roe v. Wade for that one.

If they can stack the court it will take at least 20 years to “unstack” it and by then the damage they will do will be irrevocable.

excerpt
“At the end of the 18th century, historian Thomas Carlyle quoted Edmund Burke as saying, “there were Three Estates in Parliament; but in the Reporter’ Gallery yonder, there sat a Fourth Estate more important than they all. It is not a figure of speech, or a witty saying; it is a literal fact ... Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in lawmaking, in all acts of authority.”

If the United States of America existed anymore, could this “Fourth Estate” control almost the top one-hundred newspapers in our nation, the major networks, most of the cable networks — including the Weather Channel, CNBC, and ESPN — and the entertainment industry? If the nation of our Founding Fathers existed, could this “Fourth Estate” handpick and install an untested, inexperienced candidate who wishes to redistribute our wealth and worse?

There is no greater threat to our liberty and this Republic than a biased media that despises traditional values and only speaks and lies with one voice. Again, Thomas Jefferson may have said it best when he wrote, “He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.” “

and 'global warming' (so called); a theory ... not proved.
