That's the question I have always had in all of this. Even if every single one of these points is eventually proved true beyond doubt, would anyone in a position to do anything really take any action? I kind of doubt it. My guess is that most will just shrug their shoulders as if to say, well, that's the way that one went, the election is over, and kind of walk away mumbling. Sure, a few brave, lonely souls (i.e., Arpaio, some on FR, and others) will continue to cry in the wilderness, file lawsuits that the courts will toss out (the courts don't exist to dispense justice in this country anymore), and preach to the choir. But I have a feeling the majority of the sheeple, as they always do, will let their eyes glaze over, and go back to a beer by the TV. We talk a lot on FR about torches and pitchforks and marching on the Capitol, but, seriously, how many out there really think this will happen? Unless it really hits home personally, most people are inclined to continue to live their quiet lives, slave away at their jobs, raise their kids, and try to keep a low profile. They're not cowards, just incapable of seeing any real, practical way out of the dilemma.

And that is why so many dictators have done what they have done... Hitler is a prime example.

To a large degree, I feel the same way.

Times are not hard enough yet for people to really pay attention.

But when they are...

“out (the courts don’t exist to dispense justice in this country anymore), “

I was hoping that SCOTUS just might take on the best “birther” suit since it was threatened by hussein. It would be fun to watch karma in action.

A true observation, and an excellent post.

That's it, pretty much in a nutshell. I can't tell you how frustrating it is. People I think are informed, intelligent people who's eyes just glaze over when you try to discuss this type of stuff. No one cares, there's not a dam thing you can do about it, so why not grab another beer? Sad.
