Unfortunately, I believe, based on Obama being elected for a second term, that whomever the Main Stream press wants to be the next President, will be. If that is Hillary, then unfortunately for America, I believe Glenn is correct.
The majority of voting Americans are idiots and vote based on the shallow and false reporting of the main stream press. That combined with the fact that the GOPe selects candidates that are liberals at heart, true conservatives have checked out. I also think that the GOPe is cowed by the aggressive liberal press and don’t press serious matters because they know the press will only mock them and not show any validity to their arguments.
I believe the great experiment that was America is over. What little freedoms we have right now are one disaster away from being considered null and void by the federal government. At that moment there will be real disruptions because vast sections of rural America will violently resist the moves of the Fed and a civil war will break out which will officially end America as the land of the free. Obama/Hillary/the MSM all know this and want this, because even in that chaos, they believe they will win in the long term.
Unfortunately, I tend to agree with your post #26. Things will get...interesting.
