While much of what you say is true, America is being attacked within by mouthpieces like Letterman who are all too willing to sell ($30M per year) any former allegience to a once great society. Why? Because it pays good. But that society has changed and deviated from the course that was mapped out by the founders, thus allowing 'them' entry.

These vultures and hyenas sense a wounded animal and are doing what nature teaches them. America is badly wounded in the sense we no longer hold to self-evident 'truths'. I'll not go into the ways, but most can think of ways we've betrayed ourselves over the course of time.

Viewership will tank a show faster than anything. I haven't watched Dave since this began. I'd suggest others who feel the same way, do the same. Advertisers pay a rate based on a show's popularity. If there are no viewers, they'll go elsewhere. That's capitalism and that's what I support- vote with your dollars and viewership.

We have lost a great asset in the culture war: the media. We can't expect to get it back anytime soon. Everytime you read a newspaper or watch the news, realize you are listening to Baghdad Bob or reading Pravda. It's that bad.

Rather than trying to bankrupt a restaurant chain, we need to get behind leaders who will resurrect what was America. Get her back on her feet where she can kick these parasites in the face. The freeloaders, the statists, etc.

Individual liberty is the name- and freedom is the game. All opposed are enemies of the Republic no matter what 'letter' (D/R) follows their name. (This struggle is playing out in Iran as I type.)

Our Kenyan Ruler promised to "hit the ground running" after being elected by the media. And he has. What we as Americans MUST do is to place hurdles in his path. (I used to sprint and believe me, hurdles slow you down.)

As a small business owner, the crap, red tape, and hurdles I have to jump everyday are endless and growing. Under this Banana Republican things will inevitably get worse.

We the People hold the key with our vote. If we don't vote every collectivist, statist, bureaucrat, mush-brained-liberal out of office, we're dead. Freedom will die, liberty will die, and we'll be reduced to a life of slavery. This isn't an option for me. I can remember a time when America was much freer. Today, there's almost nowhere you can go to escape the stench of the nanny state.
