Gun sales are skyrocketting, which makes it all the more unlikely that we'll end up with a tyrant after this.

Sure, these next four years are most likely really gonna hurt. But we'll get past them.

And keep up the good work. 4 years of Obama is going to bring us 8 years of Palin.

I think we have turned in to a Banana Republic.

Palin needs to leave the increasingly socialist Republican party if she is to have any credibility as a conservative.

I just hope we can afford the "l" in "Palin" by the time Obama is done with us...

The author of this article assumes that we will still have honest elections.

Also...FDR, Johnson, and political correctness are still wrecking their havoc. 70% black illegitimacy rate and high rates of illiteracy and innumeracy are merely 2 symptoms among many.

I have faith in G_d. Not Washington.

When the socialists have purged Christianity from America, there will be no hope left for this nation, as it will no longer exist.

This is a good read. However, I think we must be very careful of the “this will work itself out in time” concept. We cannot allow our outrage to be replaced with apathy. Hopefully optimistic, while diligently suspicious - and always vocal.

Social justice seems to mean that you have to tear someone else down to to bring yourself up. They have made it a fine science and we are supposed to be resilient for what?..to continue spoon feeding our commie dictators?..I think not. Time to make them work for it themselves.

Shrug....

Demographics are working against us

I think that if Barry makes it through his four years without being impeached, we will have become simply a giant African left-wing thugocracy. The US will have become more or less a police state, probably with the good folks from the Nation of Islam in charge of much of it, and life for three-mansion guys like Barry will be great, but for the rest of us, it’s going to be day after day of drudgery to pay for his mansions. Even immigrants won’t save us, because we will no longer get Latin Americans and Asians, but will start accepting huge numbers of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East, and we will start accepting and legalizing their customs, too. You can expect sharia to be implemented here, at least in their communities, within four years.

So I’d say I’m much less optimistic than the writer of this article.

I am old enough to remember: the Cuban missile crisis; the Kennedy assassinations and King's assassination; race riots every summer; the Viet Nam War; waves of massive antiwar demonstrations; bombings by the New Left; Watergate; Nixon's resignation; the wretched Johnson, Carter, and Clinton presidencies; the Cold War and nuclear terror; three Mid East wars; a half dozen recessions; dozens of public and private tragedies; and several personal health crises.

The country (and I) survived them all and often prospered. The Obama presidency and the current economic turmoil will be another bad patch, but I am confident that the country (and I) will get through it.

His arguments are less than convincing. Rome *survived*, in some form, to the present day. Still one could hardly say they thrived.

The immense damage done by FDR and LBJ is *still* creating havock in our nation. We are not the USA of my chlidhood, let along my grandparents day.

Another four years, New Deal II, Great Society II, and who knows. We may well be AINO, America In Name Only.

I agree that things will get better. However I'm dismayed at the lack of passion and ever apparent apathy concerning this scam perpetrated against the citizens of this country.

Anyone want to explain this to me before it happens again?

“america’s amazing resilience”

can america withstand another bunch of adolescent, psychotic punks in positions of power?

the current bunch about to take power will answer that question.

(watch for more and more obnoxiousness from those who think that those with political power are exempt from the law.)

IMHO

I don’t think so. America as I knew it ceased to exist after this fraud was elected. We are for some interesting times for sure.

Oh, there will be elections, but you will never see a republican in the white house again with these commies in charge.

Unless the voter rolls are purged and everyone re registers, this election proved to me that elections have turned into a sham.

just my opinion. Anyway, what do I know?

America is only strong as its people, and so far I am not encouaged.

...not likely...if there’s a slower moving target than Palin out there, I’ve yet to see it...all the lefties had to do was find a good impressionist and Palin was forever cast as a buffoonish cartoon...

" ... Has our luck finally run out? ..."


Luck? Luck had nothing to do with it.

The Republican Party (The only viable political party "conservatives" flocked too) took the controls and crash landed.


The "gimme" crowd has overtaken the "America first" crowd.

Conservatism in the United States is officially dead for the foreseeable future. As will be capitalism when the communist/socialists get done.

R.I.P.

Once upon a time the GOP was responsive to most people of this country. Then the Bush’s came along and it has been down hill ever since.

I’m not optimistic at all. Uncle Sam was still young and vigorous a hundred years ago, when they told him he needed attention and they affixed leeches and started to bleed him. After a generation they put him on a blood machine. Now he’s on a few hundred machines and meds and he has pretty much forgotten what it’s like to live without all this interference. He’s afraid to try, wouldn’t know where to start anyway. Outside his window, a few freepers are picketing and getting nowhere. He has about ten bedsores for every patriot out there, fifty doctors, a thousand nurses, and around 250 million fellow patients in the same general condition.
He will not be saved by picket signs and prayers and ballots.
He will likely get his organs harvested before long, since they are beginning to show damage. Bids are already placed, anyway.
If you feel you must pray for him please do it privately, they say it frightens the other patients.
Positively no shooting. Gun-free zone. (If you don’t think so, just try.)
