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.
The majority of the country didn't want obamacare. A dem Congress passed it anyway. We looked to Pubbies in the House to defund it. Not happening... We looked to SCOTUS to throw out what was blatantly unConstitutional. That didn't happen either. Where are we to turn? GOP leadership is an oxymoron, a thing of the past (John Boehner and Mitch McConnell? Ha!). Other than a few senators (Cruz, Sessions) and representatives (Bachmann, Gohmert e.g.) no one is willing to stand up to the president and Congressional Dems.
This week, SCOTUS rules that WE THE PEOPLE have no standing in defending a proposition put to a statewide vote which the governor and AG of the state in question declined to defend, an abdication of their duties.
Everywhere we turn we get beat down. We have no leadership in elected federal office. Frankly without talk radio and some private citizens - Sarah Palin for example - speaking out, I would have gone crazy already.
I see the country breaking up if this path is not altered.
Beck is reading my mind this morning in talking about teaching true history to blacks so they can have pride in their role in building America vs the resentment the race baiters teach.
IMO that is going to require ditching the Republican Party.
That’s the real story of that situation. The non-violent protests were happening big time in Birmingham during the spring of 1963.
But by this time 50 years ago violence was beginning in the cities of the North that would lead to larger riots, greater damage, population shifts to suburbs and political changes.
The financial disasters of the cities are the fruit of that.
BUT PLANS NEED TO BE MADE INCLUDING PLANS FOR BAD SITUATIONS.
I can never forget or forsake my God. His presence is there to help me during the dark hours and moments.
Resentment is a poison that opens the door to drugs and alcohol, it creates millions of Trayvon Martin’s.....
I need to find the next right thing to do every day.
As someone who has been “Conservative, Christian and Pro-Life” I sincerely believed that I have been fornicated by the Republican Party.
Others still don’t realize what has been done to them. People have been used to promote a political party.
The Democrats are “fornicating” African-Americans, Hispanics and even the LGBT crowd.
There are fanatical Progressive activists out there but there are also average people being hustled and used by politicians.
Those people and myself all share the common experience of political manipulation and all have the potential to open their eyes and see the truth.
Keep listening to the talk shows but also don’t allow yourself to be used anymore.
Glenn Beck is clearest right now but they all have been at best used by the political machine.
I hope Levin, El Rushbo and even Hannity find some clear thinking and courage to stand up in a moral and honest way....
I pray not... it will be the worst time of this once great Republic. If it comes... it comes.
I hope Levin, El Rushbo and even Hannity find some clear thinking and courage to stand up in a moral and honest way....
Me too. They, Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin are the only ones I can see who still have principles.
Amen!

Now just WHERE would someone find a silly idea like that??
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
To paraphrase Someone...
“SCOTUS? How many divisions does it have?”
AMEN!
Thanks for the ping.
After working 12-15 hour days all week, only to have it stolen by the lazy, it’s hard not to feel like a slave...or to have much hope :(( The leeches and Commies just keep taking it all.
It’s too bad the American people have no interest in your heavy workload. They would probably tell you to WORK LESS!
