Yeah, yeah, I know. Every generation thinks the world is going to heck as it gets older. The wolves are always circling in the dark while the camp fires slowly die out. Except experience has taught me that mindset primarily serves just to inspire a sense of significance in the people addicted to it. It also saps will and resolve.

Buck up! We lost an election in 2008. It happens. That didn't doom us. We won back one house of Congress in 2010. It happens. That doesn't guarantee victory in 2012. Victory will go to the side that keeps its head, crafts a plan, and rides it with a little luck. Talk of a Civil War ain't gonna’ cut it.

If you haven't read anything supporting Obama as a natural born citizen, you should read more. There's a court case from last year that specifically said he was. Whether you agree or not, that's a lot stronger pedigree than anything the birthers have got. So get over it. And whining about the 14th Amendment 143 years after the fact ain't winning any elections either.

The die is never cast. The future belongs to what Reagan asked us to be, the happy warriors who don't lose their heads over nonsense.

**** the wolves. America has kicked their tails before, and we will do it again.

The Indiana court was trickery and a play with words..the 14th Amendment gave citizenship to Obama..if he was born in Hawaii.

The 14h amendment cannot make a natural born citizen any more than a box of cracker jacks.

The word natural means descent..posterity..means descent..forefathers means descent..obama has no claim to any of the above..

Obama has no kindren blood to our ancestors...would George Washington or Thomas Jefferson accept him as their kindred blood..you know the answer.

I find it somewhat amusing how oft-toted Reagan is to people who wish to link ‘conservatism’ to the Republican party; being under 30, I have no actual memories of him on the political-scene and so, according to my experience, Regan was an abnormality. Furthermore, the Republican party plays the “bitter gun-and-bible clinging” people for fools:
When was the last time they pushed for ACTUAL responsible spending, even to the point of ending big/popular social programs?
When was the last time they, AS A PARTY, even symbolically proposed a law to outlaw abortions federally*? How about a Constitutional amendment to spit in the faces of those black-robed tyrants who declare themselves to be higher than the Constitution?

Hell, as a party, the Democrats are at least honest! They at least strive for what they say they’re going to strive for!
As far as I’m concerned, this 112th Congress is the Republican-party’s Last Chance... if they don’t “perform as advertised” I’m going to the Constitution Party, or perhaps I’ll make my own**.

*An actual stated Republican party plank.
**How does “The American Ammunition Party” sound?
