Those of us who grew up in a very different America should probably be thanking God for giving us such a great example as to why we need to turn back the clock!

Up until recently I would have agreed with your statement. I felt that nothing that these people do over the course of four years couldn't be undone but healthcare 'reform' and immigration 'reform' change everything.

If healthcare 'reform' is enacted instead of dealing with a minority of the people voting for their own entitlements we are dealing with a majority doing so. As with Social Security, no politician in their right mind would promise to cut this entitlement.

Amnesty as a solution to our illegal immigration issues will change this country forever. If the estimate of 12 million illegals is correct, and I believe it is probably double that, chain migration will bring a total of 66 million people into this country. If our current situation is already straining education, healthcare, law enforcement and entitlement programs, imagine what happens when chain migration kicks in.

Good points! Actually, I didn’t mean to imply that we should simply sit back and watch the world go by, waiting until the next presidential election to do something. There was a poster years ago that said, “Experience is a tough teacher, she gives the test first and the lesson afterward!”

The last election was the test, we’re getting the lesson right now.
