1. We have nowhere to return from.
2. We need to rise up here and now and keep rising from there.
I know what yer saying yet I like to think I never left !.....:o)
We’re doing all the right things except educating the sheeple IMHO..... Disinformation and diversion of facts won this election.
The demographics are against this happening. It was a nice run. Freedom, self-reliance and personal responsibility are now alien and antiquated concepts. Unfortunaltely, we are going “collective”.....this is a natural bi-product of feminism and “oppressed” groups looking for a “savior” instead of looking to themselves. City dwellers, liberal women, illegals are “natural” socialists.
Argentina, a wealthy country a century ago, has never recovered from Peron.
Will it be the akin to the British and Canadian Tories? That is, will it be essentially identical to the Democratic Party.
Will it be a choice, or an echo?
This reminds me of the other night, when I heard Mor-ton Kondracke (on BOR) blaming GOP defeats on the Terri Schiavo affair and opposition to same-sex marriage. According to Mort, that’s why the GOP lost the “Youth Vote” that the Republicans never had, and that went up a whopping one percentage point this year. Conservatism, and the GOP, will come back into vogue when the “Youth Vote” (to paraphrase an old adage) takes a collective look at their post-inauguration pay checks...or their post-Messiah victory welfare checks, whichever come first.
yeah after a hellified bunch of financial depression in this country. Good luck with that.
Yeah. Add yeast, warm water, knead into a ball, place in covered bowl in a warm spot for 8 years before baking. (:^o)

There’s a word in German: Untergang.
B.S.
Let the hate-fest begin with fervor and conviction!
If we return and are led by the clones of the past twenty years, he will surely stumble and fall again quickly.
Are you sure that young people read check stubs, or do they just cash what it says on the bottom line? Many are hoping for Oprah’s Choice to provide them with doctor and hospital care: shows how much they have yet to learn.
This must be what happened in your VA. I think it will be hard for Republicans to make any comebacks from VA to the north, and there is not a lot of territory left to carve out 270 electoral votes in the future.
You may be right, but don't forget that this is the age group whose denizens believe that they are immortal and invulnerable. That's why even those who could afford to don't purchase health insurance. First they have to get a job to have a pay stub to look at, or a check to cash (something that may be increasingly difficult under the Messiah). Assuming they are already receiving a pay check, they will definitely notice that it's shrinking, assuming that the Obama plan goes into full effect.
Can Americans overcome them, and defeat them?
As I posted on another thread, we have been here before. When Clinton took office in 1993 there were 256 Democrats in the House and 57 in the Senate. Those are almost identical to the numbers the DalaiBama will inherit next January.
Nonsense, we can adapt by changing tactics.
Conservatism can beat liberalism, we just have to transmit our ideas better. We can’t just expect people to become conservatives merely because we know its better than liberalism.
We will come out stronger than before, and this time we will keep the moderates at bay.
