Who is us? The half the nation that voted for more debt, more free stuff, less freedom? The half that is oblivious to the state of the nation?
There are two diametrically opposed philosophies driving the two sides. There is no one right track for both sides. One side wants freedom.
The other wants someone to take care of them and they don't care what it costs. They have already run far beyond what can ever be paid for and they are hankering for more. You will never sell your ideas to them, those ideas go against their most basic beliefs.
Are you even aware that Obamacare is forcing religious people to directly pay for abortions for their employees? The left says to take your moral objections to abortion stick it and pay up. There is no reasoning with that, no compromise.
So you want to be a great nation on the world stage? By 2016 the debt will be such that the future will be deciding between paying interest on it and entitlements. Defense? Forget it. And that is only if we don't trigger inflation, and interest rates don't go up. Then it will get ugly.
There are two sides, but our side is never represented. Whose fault is that? I submit the RNC works against us continually. Thinks that’s going to change, if we break away?
We’ll still deal with that dynamic. We need to end that dynamic.
We had folks that didn’t go out and vote. We didn’t even get as many votes as we did in 2008. I’m not convinced that’s going to hold up over time. We may in fact see the vote swell to around the same amount as last time. We’ll see.
We’re making a lot of assumptions about what the actual make-up of our nation is, based on the votes of the adults who bothered to show up.
Less than 180,000 flipped votes in three states, and Romney could have been our president. And Romney never was one of us. We predicted the outcome in the April/May time frame.
We hoped Romney could pull it out, but we were kidding ourselves.
I don’t see the benefit of splitting off so we can become a shadow of our former existence.
I say win it all back. We can do it.
