It's here.

The Clinton appointments were held up by conservatives. If we haven’t noticed the GOP started moving left around the year 1999-2000 and the last elections are a direct result of RINOs guiding and losing all the power we once held “holding up” things and passing sensible legislation.

Conservatives fear that some of these Obama transition advisers are too far left on the political spectrum and are a sign of radical policies to come.

Looks like a major sign of God's impending wrath to come....

Why is our fate in doubt? We have witnessed the dumbing down and “welfare statism” of US citizens for decades... the election of BHO demonstrates that his 60 million voters are probably representative of even more, dumber non-voters.

For this type of “devolved” society, an authoritarian governance is not only inevitable, it is required. To h#ll with the rest of us who believe in “life, liberty and the pursuit of...

I'm afraid that you're right. I had to turn off the movie "Idiocracy" because it was just too painful to watch. How do I turn off "the country?"

President Bush didn't completely have the office until April of 2001.

Even then, I was amazed at how many Clintonista's were kept on.

Does anyone remember hearing Pat Buchanon saying, after being asked what his first act as President would be if he was elected?

"Mr. Clinton, you're under arrest."

Buchanon was and is the wrong man for the job, but gee wowwie, would that have been sweet to hear?

And in the hanger, after ignoring President Bush's cold shoulder and glaring eyes during the inauguration ... x42's statement?

"I'm still here"

In a matter of an hour or so, I had a lot of hopes for Dubya dashed.

This article discussed “CONSERVATIVES”. Why can't the Conservatives “UNITE” to take back this country instead of continuing to point the finger?

There is still time to take action, but as long as the finger pointing continues time keeps ticking away while the Sociocrats are taking control.

It’s here.

Its been here.

Now its over, I am afraid. We lost and will see the entire country lose even more. Sad part is, out countrymen will see little wrong with the new USA.

Maybe some spark will rouse some part of that self-absorbed mob and bring them back to fight but I am not seeing it.

I hope I am surprised.

I support conservative candidates no matter what party affiliation. I no longer support liberal candidates because they have an (R) after their name.

It’s simple and doesn’t clutter my mind.

***... it was just too painful to watch...****

You have just described the MSM destruction of our President, George W. Bush.

He persevered against enemies, foreign and domestic..and was deserted; not because he gave up on us....but because we gave up on him.

Sorry, had to fix that one.

I have been dismayed by Conservative pundits lauding the appointments of 0bama. They have generally been somewhat middle of the road. What no one has been addressing is that all the assistants to the top people and those below those assistants are flaming Leftists. This will not be a pleasant spectacle to watch. Pray for our country.

FReepers, get your brain around this - Maybe we live in a country where 50% that thinks it’s OK for an openly gay person to join the army. Think about that. To me, that is mind boggling. How can/could a political solution ever be achieved with people like that? The divisions are too deep now. We can hunker down and listen to Rush, post on free republic, won’t do any good, except make us angry. Politics has its limits unfortunatly.

So you wish to overthrow the government? According to Locke’s Social Contract there is still time to fix what we have.

Sorry, unless all avenutes are closed, I do not advocate such things. The Revolution needs to take place at the local and state levels... through the ballot boxes.

****We can hunker down and listen to Rush, post on free republic, won’t do any good, except make us angry.*****

Then shall we be sent to “Anger Management Camps”?

Trouble with conservatives and GOP elected representatives...they don’t aspire to power in order to RULE by regulation....and the art of friendly persuasion ain’t working against Democrats whose sole raison d’etre is controlling the citizenry with socialist dogma... taxing some and coercing others.

We will soon discover that we are all living in a tightly controlled, regulated, permit-driven, Gated Community......the USA!!!!

No, I don't WANT to overthrow the government. Don't put words in my mouth. I am challenging you to think outside of the box. I am a creative person.

A reasonable man/woman can see that the political system is broken, the country is seriously divided, and at this point SHOULD , if their are being intellectually honest, start to consider all possiblilties. Just a thought.

I think outside of the box. Have you started any local groups? Have you gone to any meetings in order to find or promote Conservatives leaders in your local area?

Heck did you vote in the November election or did you sit home to show those bad ole Republicans?

I’ve been working in politics for over 20 years now. Believe it or not, in 2004 the GOP was presented with an idea on how to run a political campaign by using the Internet. What is amazing, Camp Obama came up with almost the same idea in 2007 and 2008. Most of all, what was scoffed at by the GOP worked for Camp Obama. But this was done through “UNITY”, because the Democrats had a common cause, and that was “TO WIN”.
