:: I remain a proud, unrepentant believer in the American Dream. ::
That dream is dead.
Strength of character, honor, integrity, self reliance mean nothing to the democrats or apparently the majority of the American people. They are willing to compromise those values for a small stipend or the illusion of security. That is why they can lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, deceive and get away with it. All they care about is power. How they get it is unimportant. They laugh at the values we hold dear.
As long as those of us that believe in a Constitutional Republic are out numbered by the parasites we will never win. They will be increasing in numbers during the next four years. It will be impossible to turn around until the system collapses. For me personally, I'll just go to ground. Fortunately I live in an area where I can do that. If the unorganized militia is every called upon the county Sheriff knows how to contact me.
