I wonder if the "we can survive 4 years of Obama" thinking is valid. With no checks and balances, Dems ruling the House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court could/will tax us into Socialism, eliminate the Electoral College, dilute our military and defense systems, and remove the 2nd Ammendment, thus totally enslaving the population.

They have been fighting to do these things for years. Do folks think they have just been kidding? Obama means we have no way to fight any more. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Honestly you overestimate the power of elected officials to permanently effect change--over to even make change. When the GOP controlled everything we still had a heck of a time getting our way. Don't let irrational gloom and doom force you into inaction. That is what such talk is design to do. It is designed to overwhelm you, to keep you for pushing for incremental change, to have you toss up your hands and give up altogether. I am not defeatist like that.
