The country has survived way worth than Obama throughout her history and not only we have survived but also we have prospered and have become more powerful and more advanced than any other nation in history of mankind. Yes we can survive 4 more years of Obama if we have to and if we keep the House, most probably the case, then Obama damage would be greatly limited. In fact historically Obama has so far done far less damage in implementing socialism than FDR or even LBJ. Obama is probably the worst socialist President in term of rhetoric but his actions are much weaker than his rhetoric because he is weak and incompetent and for this we are fortunate.

The country has survived way worth than Obama throughout her history and not only we have survived but also we have prospered and have become more powerful and more advanced than any other nation in history of mankind.

By survive, I mean retaining the values and vision of our founders. In addition to Obama's out of control spending and transforming this country into a socialist utopia, there are other circumstances surrounding this nation's fate that need to be addressed by someone other than the most radical person ever to occupy the WH.

Demographically, this nation is changing rapidily. The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 90 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

87 percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually are minorities as defined by the U.S. Government and almost all of the illegal aliens are minorities. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under in the U.S. will be classified as minorities and by 2039, half of the residents of this country will be minorities. Generally, immigrants and minorities vote predominantly for the Democrat Party. Hence, Democrats view immigration as a never-ending source of voters that will make them the permanent majority party.

Since the 1965 Immigration Act, our pro-population growth immigration policies have fueled major demographic changes in a very short period of time. In 1970, non-Hispanic whites comprised 89 percent of the population; today they are 66 percent; and by 2039, they will be 50 percent. The Democrats, under the banner of multiculturalism and diversity, have forged a political coalition that depends on individuals coalescing around racial and ethnic identities rather than the issues. The continuing and increasing flow of minority immigrants, mostly poor and uneducated, provides a natural constituency for the Democrats, which see them as their principal source of political power.

We have created a culture of dependency with almost half of the population receiving a government check. There are 54 million on SS, 47 million on Medicare, 60 million on Medicaid, and 46 million on food stamps. Those numbers will go up dramatically in the next 20 years due to an aging population and Obamacare, which will add 18 million to Medicaid. By 2030, one in five in this country will be 65 or older, twice what it is now, and there will be only two workers for every retiree.

Four more years of Obama will ensure that nothing is done to roll back the welfare state or to make significant cuts in government spending. If interest rates rise back to historic rates, we could be spending a trillion dollars a year in just debt servicing costs. If that happens, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

Obama's czars will continue to regulate this country to death and money will continue to flow to green energy. Taxes will not be cut, but rather, raised come January 2013.

Yes we can survive 4 more years of Obama if we have to and if we keep the House, most probably the case, then Obama damage would be greatly limited. In fact historically Obama has so far done far less damage in implementing socialism than FDR or even LBJ. Obama is probably the worst socialist President in term of rhetoric but his actions are much weaker than his rhetoric because he is weak and incompetent and for this we are fortunate.

First, we are not the same country that existed under FDR or LBJ. We were not the world's biggest debtor nation. We didn't have debt equal to our GDP. And now the chickens are coming home to roost in terms of the welfare state. Our aging society will bankrupt this nation.

Obamacare will be the final nail in our coffin. It will not only bankrupt us, but it will undermine the Constitution to the point that it will be meaningless in terms of controlling the power of governmemnt. Obama is the most dangerous man ever to occupy the office. His policies will have a long term impact that will only be felt full years from now.

Obama, our first black President, will divide this fragile nation along race and ethnic lines to ensure that the Dem Party becomes the permanent majority party as the demographics continue to change and America is a minority nation by 2039. The vision and values of our Founders will continue to come under attack as they are portrayed as rich white racists who didn't and wouldn't accept an America run by "people who didn't look like them."

An America divided facing profound economic challenges with places our Republic in grave danger. Four more years of Obama will be the tipping point in our history from which we will never recover. Great nations rise and fall. America is in decline and Obama will just hasten the process.

Some evidence that America is changing philosophically, a reflection of how effective the Left has been in taking over our educational system.

Americans tire of "free market," says poll

A 2009 Rasmussen poll showed that only 53 percent of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism, and that a full third of U.S. citizens under 30 believe socialism is a superior system.

The international polling firm GlobeScan asked 12,884 people in 25 countries whether they agreed or disagreed with the following statement: "The free market system and free market economy is the best system on which to base the future of the world."

Apparently, only 59 percent of Americans - with a margin of error of around four points - "strongly agreed" (37 percent) or "somewhat agreed" (22 percent). 80 percent of people in the U.S. picked one of these two options in 2002, and as recently as 2008 - when the number started a precipitous decline - more than 70 percent still gave the free market a thumbs up.

For a couple of months, every sentence from Republican officials and Fox News personalities had to include the word "socialism" while attacking the president. It didn't have much of an effect. Maybe the smears didn't connect because people don't think "socialism" is all that bad.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better.

Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.
