Trust me. There are some people with a cautious eye watching what takes place.

I’m thinking of sending packages of Koolaid to all the RINOs who are voting with obama, starting with McCain and McConnell. Maybe with enough packages received, they’d get the idea.

We had better pray for Rush, and I don’t just mean about the Fairness Doctrine.

There are far too many people in certain high paces that won’t have his back, but will look out for the people of this nation.

You would hope to think so....and I hope so. Kind of strange that he is putting this out front, from the very beginning.

Bullfrog

This stuff is getting frightening and it’s only day three

Damn right. I knew what his intentions were, I knew he would fast, but the speed and the EO’s shocked everyone I have talked to. People are getting freaked out. Fear can be a powerful motivator. What security do you have if you don't have your country? He is scaring the sh*t out of people.

Well if he winds up putting Rush or Hannity in jail for something they say about his administration then sure I would go there but for now I think Socialist is appropriate.

I like your idea very much! At some point maybe you could consider posting a vanity thread detailing this plan. I bet you’d get a lot of interest.

He knows he can get everything passed without the GOP’s help...he’s just attempting to embarrass them...and minimize Rush.

And in highlighting that point he has essentially said, "Sink or swim, it's all on us now."

That, of course, is the distinct disadvantage of having super majorities. Even if Republicans sign on to some legislation, in the end it can always be argued by Republicans that they were bipartisan even when their votes weren't necessary to pass any particular legislation.

I've got a feeling that Obama thought that the Republicans wouldn't dare leak anything substantive of the meeting, just the regular "It was a constructive conversation" platitudes. In a small way this is payback for Obama meeting with Bush for "private talks" and then immediately leaking what had been covered.

My question as well....When do we begin?

It is hard for me to know how this works. Are enough people awake yet? I don't know. How will we know?

Will it take one or two initial martyrs to be jailed or to come up missing for true patriots to collectively come together?

I wish I had an answer. I also wish I knew what the right action is.
It feels like we have a bulls-eye on our backs and we are standing still. Just like they want us to.

Hmm.... Bill Clinton tangled with Rush and lost. Bill Clinton is far more charming and moderate than Obama. We may not like Bill but he can turn on the sappy charm plus Bill is smart. Bill can be a great speaker. Obama’s charm is far less developed. He gets steely and cold. Bill is more charming until his temper blows up.

Looks like Rush is going to war.

Rush said some cryptic stuff today about O’s qualifications after he mentioned white male construction workers. Rush also mentioned something about “the future is now.” I cannot find the text. Could this be some allusion that SCOTUS may actually defend the Constitution?

“I don’t care anymore if I’m perceived as a paranoid”

Honestly, anyone who considers you paranoid is delusional... they are the ones in need of medication.

And... anyone who is out there still saying “Give the new president a chance” is not conservative, not American (the way the founders saw America), and not sane.
