"I will not be celebrating Independence Day tomorrow, because to do so would be utterly hypocritical and a lie. The First Republic is dead, and to pretend that it isn't only feeds and enables the usurpers and tyrants who are desecrating its corpse in order to give themselves the appearance of legitimacy. If I live to see the establishment of the Second American Republic, THAT date will I observe.
"The Black American Flag, flown in distress, is my flag now."
Yet another time when I agree completely with Ann. Thank you for posting this.
But, but, people right here on FR are telling me that the constitution says that if we play by all the rules we can totally undo this in a matter of weeks and all will be well!
The GOP Establishment and the DNC play for the same team. The sooner people realize this, the sooner we can begin to try and save the Republic.
The way--get this flawed and imperfect candidate elected, then start work to pressure him to do the right thing. If this Give Up Now poster of this thread has his way, we'll be stuck with the Known Quantity of Obama.
There are a lot of Hate Romney, Don't Vote, Stay Home and Despair guys on FR, too.
And they're being paid by Media Matters.
All I'm reading in this article is what he did in the past, so I don't what the "he didn't last a week" is all about. What has he said since last Thursday that I missed?
Really? My check must have been lost in the mail then.
You go right ahead and keep fantasizing that the country isn’t finished, won’t hold it against you.
Many hate Romney. Don’t care, and will still stay conservative. But guess what?
They do not live here any more. They have gone to other countries.
Romney is an a$$ hat progressive socialist. No better than Obama, really.
Call me when you want to fight to establish the second republic. The first is indeed DEAD.
I’m curious as to why there isn’t a single quote from Romney or his campaign in this “article.” The title states that Romney has given up. There is no evidence that this is the case in his campaign rhetoric or the messages from his surrogates/spokesmen.
This article is one big FAIL. Nothing more than “woe is me!” garbage. I feel stupider having read it.
I believe we as a country are basically finished. The ruling on Obamacare sealed it. Still, I will vote in November.
And they're being paid by Media Matters.
I agree. Tons of people on here trying to make us depressed. They're pretty easy to recognize tho.
The way to not give up is by doing whatever it takes to get romney booted during the convention and get ANYONE ELSE nominated in his place.
I’m starting to wonder about some of these posters.
Romney was not even my 3rd choice, but I’m not actively spending time trying to defeat him rather than Obama.
All they are doing is trying to find anything to back up their narrative, even if it takes hyperventilating op-eds from no-name bloggers posted repeatedly through the day.
And what is their point? They offer no Plan B other than feeling superior in their philosophy. They certainly offer no other action other than some fantasy “brokered convention” event or staying home to “teach them a lesson” or maybe some nobody 3rd party guy nominated at a convention held in a Holiday Inn.
Hmmmm seems like noting about Obama again. It’s all about defeating Romney as their TOP priority.
the one follower of Barnhardt I know is a total paranoid prepper who abuses her employees and customers. I’m not interested in anything she tells me to read and less interested in Ann Barnhardts negative nasty and foul rants.
This negativity is not healthy and not productive.
And I despise shills and phony "conservatives" who troll the net to try to make real conservatives give up and despair.
The last happy vote I cast, I was very young and voting for Reagan. Since then, it's always been the lesser of two disappointments. But the choice now is just as clear as with Reagan--I'm just voting *against* an America-hating Islam-loving Marxist, and getting a mealy-mouthed RINO.
We'd all rather have someone better. But we can't all sit in Mom's basement, check in on orders from the HuffPo, and cry into our keyboards.
Agreed. Anyone who stays home rather than vote for the imperfect Romney can explain to his or her parent or child dying for lack of rationed medical care why they did so.

I love Palin. I was crushed when she declined to run.
Life is tough that way.
This time around I voted for Gingrich, but I didn't get him. I wasn't even that happy about Gingrich, and I expected Romney to win, so I voted for Newt in hopes that Romney would pay attention to that vote.
I get called paranoid, but really, how much money would it take to pay some Daily Show-watching losers to go to conservative sites and start posting discouraging words? Seems pretty cheap when they're got billions in Soros money.
FIGHT AT THE CONVENTION FOR AN ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATE!
Its YOU people who are trying to convince everyone that we are stuck with a socialist as our candidate.
The convention has rules and those rules can be manipulated to achieve the goal of dumping romney. You dont need to know ANYTHING ELSE other than THAT simple FACT! Ill fight wherever there is an opportunity, where as you F’ers want us all to just give up and support your socialist candidate.
