The totalitarian political left proves every day its relentless determination to complete President Obama's stated goal of fundamentally transforming this country. The political right can either wake up to this reality and unite in promoting a better vision or stand by and watch its children's future disintegrate.
The left criticizes the right for its alleged partisanship, extremism, intolerance and angst, when the left dwarfs the right in all these characteristics.
Contrary to leftist propaganda, mainstream conservatives haven't grown more strident or extreme -- unless you define extremists as those who are valiantly trying to preserve America's greatness and prevent the left from steamrolling its agenda against the will of the people.
At this point, conservatives would almost be happy just to preserve a modicum of the institutional greatness that has made this country the most extraordinary nation in world history.
Notwithstanding a recent Rasmussen poll revealing that Obama supporters believe tea party members constitute as great a threat to the country as Islamic terrorists, we don't see misbehavior, violence or extremism emanating from the maligned tea party. We do, however, see it from the leftist Occupy Wall Street movement and leftist union thugs.
It is the left that has grown dramatically more extreme and belligerent. The left has no interest in bipartisanship or camaraderie with the right except to the extent that it can secure support of useful, establishment Republicans to naively enable its extremist agenda.
Liberals are forcing their agenda on this nation bit by bit, dismantling its institutions brick by brick, but there is no satisfying them. With each victory, their appetite for more only increases. Likewise, with each defeat, they renew their resolve and redouble their efforts. They know they are rewarded for their relentlessness and their perseverance. They know that the right lacks the unity, the moral courage and the stamina to put as much on the line in behalf of its own ideas, so they think it's just a matter of time before they prevail.
The so-called wealthy pay dramatically more in income tax and most other taxes, both in terms of a percentage of their income and in actual dollars. The bottom half of income earners pay no income taxes; 20 percent of the people are on food stamps; and other welfare programs are bursting at the seams. But it's never enough for liberals, especially Obama. Until the wealthy are no longer wealthy, Obama will not be satisfied.
No matter what progress the nation has made on civil rights and race, it will not be enough for the left, for grievance is its lifeblood.
The left doesn't want merely to live and let live. It must demonize the wealthy, corporations, big oil, the coal industry and banks. It doesn't just want acceptance of gays. It wants to demonize as bigots those who believe in preserving traditional marriage.
Its professed dedication to religious liberty is a sham. We've seen the selective assaults on speech and on Christian expression in the United States military under this administration. We've watched Obama brazenly obliterate his promise not to intrude on the conscience rights of religious institutions.
Obama has succeeded in cramming Obamacare down the people's throats with endless lies and bribes and, to this day, remains unaccountable for any of his deceptions. The program is recognized as a "train wreck," but he's unapologetically doubling down.
Obama has openly targeted for extinction and abuse the coal and oil industries in the name of the junk science of man-made "climate change." Yet even if this "science" were true, all of the left's proposed remedies wouldn't appreciably reduce global temperature over the next century, even if other powerful nations participated. So it is not abating global warming liberals seek but the statism they are advancing in its name.
Obama's Justice Department refuses to prosecute actual cases of voter intimidation committed by the left's constituents and manufactures false allegations of voter suppression by its opponents, and Obama's White House orchestrates the systematic suppression of opposition voters through the instrumentality of a dangerously politicized and tyrannical Internal Revenue Service. When caught, they stonewall and plead the Fifth but never apologize. They just soldier on as if on a mission from some god.
The examples are endless, but what will never be endless is the left's determination to radically and permanently change this country from what made it great to what will ensure its demise.
Unless and until the political right comes to its senses about Obama and the left's ultimate goals, demonstrates the moral courage to fight back just as hard as they do and unites in a firm commitment to keep America strong, prosperous and free, America as we know it will end; it's just a matter of time.
But despite my seeming pessimism, in the end, I believe that America will awaken to the gravity of the threats it faces and fight back to beat them back. I refuse to believe otherwise.
DNC - run by an Impostor, undocumented from Indonesia
who hates the US Constitution and its people
GOP - run by conservative impostors
who hate the US Constitution and its people
If positive change does not happen in the next few years, this country could very well break up.
Bingo!
God doesn’t give many do overs. We either fix this or the nation becomes hell on earth.
My personal crusade has inspired me to befriend a string of inner city social justice preachers in Detroit and work toward turning them to the right with varying degrees of success.
Decent article ping.
The term “moral courage” does have some meaning.
I’ve heard Glenn Beck talk about putting spiritual matters ahead of political ones.
I have opinions about the political situation that are very strong but I can’t be so angry I would want to hurt someone else. I must do the right thing above anything else.
That kind of anger would be disturbing to my relationship with my God.
But things will need to be said and things will need to be done.
Insane and crazy things should not be on the agenda.
“...despite my seeming pessimism, in the end, I believe that America will awaken to the gravity of the threats it faces and fight back to beat them back. I refuse to believe otherwise.”
How stupid.
America has been fully aware of gravity of the threats it faces for a very long time.
What America NEEDS and urgently, is committed and unwavering Conservative leadership...we have everything ELSE we need and there is no substitute for the moral high ground!
THAT element has been missing for too long. Of course the Liberals have had success, since Conservatives don’t have the advantage of ‘leadership’!
Instead, Conservatives permit the MSM to fracture our solidarity... and they do so at will.
How stupid!
Be a builder so to speak.
If positive change does not happen in the next few years, this country could very well break up.
Something small could trigger it. Maybe an Arch Duke Ferdinand moment. Possibly rioting after a Zimmerman verdict?
BLOAT.

Tough to do when many who are cited to be ‘omn our side’ are committing treason.
And that my dear, is what I believe all the ammo is for.

One Party: The Re-Election Party, dedicated to the personal enrichment of its members at taxpayer expense.
They aim to annihilate us. Like Islamists, they will not stop until we are all co-opted, imprisoned or dead.
Thats no exaggeration.
I am certain, and I have been for years, that the people who invented "Obama" and who put him in place envision exactly that as the fuse for their preferred endgame.
I wonder if he knows?
The devil is already infesting the white hut.
The Republican Party is essentially dead to me.
Onward the Tea Party.
...until they get to Washington, anyway.
I know what you mean about being so angry that you could imagine doing something violent. I have that level of anger about what is happening to my country.
But I have to remember that this is not my final home - I AM just passing through, and while I should care about what’s happening and do my part to impede the left’s Godless agenda, the state of my spirit is more important than politics. This isn’t heaven, after all. We live in a fallen world.
To “keep” a Republic you need a more or less virtuous populace. When we are lectured by the Supreme Court about the virtue of gay “marriage” and lies are celebrated as truth, we have ceased to be a virtuous society. I don’t think the founding fathers would be surprised - sad, yes - but they understood the nature of man.
I have been struggling with how to channel my anger, as every day we are deluged with more evidence of how our country is slipping away. I need to find a “rock” from which I can view this mess without becoming either murderously angry or despondent. For me, the answer is the Word. That’s my rock. I know who will ultimately win this war, Jesus Christ. In the meantime, we must fight these battles, but with the knowledge that He will overcome when the time is right. That knowledge provides me with some distance from the problem.
The most important thing is to guard my heart from hatred and self-righteousness. Gandhi and Martin Luther King come to mind as role models for fighting back. Standing strong for your principles, but with dignity and without violence.
Thanks for letting me think these things out on the page. I have been really upset lately - and am still frustrated in terms of WHAT to do and HOW to fight back. I’m looking forward to Mark Levin’s book coming out in August about how to fight back. I suspect it has to do with using the power of the states to push back, but I’m anxious to hear the details.
“Ghandism worked for Ghandi but it took violence in the streets of America to ring in Civil Rights. I know this is all GOD’s plan but if our Founders only presented peaceful protests and acceptance of any level of violence against them by King George... we would still be under the British Flag today. Pray to GOD for peace. Prepare for the worst.”
Despite what I said in my post about nonviolence, I agree that it may come to civil war. We are indeed two countries philosophically and it may take another civil war to settle it.
