Free Republic’s Thoughts on the 2014 Election and the Road Ahead [FReepathon thread XXXIV]

Congratulations to all Republicans and conservatives who worked their tails off to help retake the Senate!! And we added to our majority in the House and added Republican governorships and took many other state and local offices too. We're away from home this morning and all we have here is CNN and so I've heard streams of pundits all calling for the Republicans to "govern" now that they have control of both houses of congress and to compromise with Obama to get things done. Even heard Alan Simpson say we should drop the idea of repealing Obamacare as that's a dead horse. Wrong. Dead wrong!!

Americans obviously want the ship of state to reverse course!! Repeal of the economy-killing, job-killing Obamacare is job number one!! No compromise, no retreat!! No new programs. No new legislation that is not repealing, cutting, deregulating, defunding the beast!! Block Obama at every move!!

If that Marxist SOB moves to grant amnesty to the illegal aliens by executive order IMPEACH him!! No excuses!! If he fails to faithfully execute the laws, IMPEACH him!!

Do not dare allow any more godless America-hating liberal communist judges or other appointees to be approved by the Senate!!

Step up and get serious about getting to the bottom of Benghazi and the IRS and other Obama scandals and impeach/prosecute the perps!!

Stop the unconstitutional legislating from the bench!! Impeach the lawless judges!!

We the grassroots should never give-in, never give-up, Never surrender! Our fight is for God, Life, Family, Liberty, Country!! Our God-given unalienable rights are not subject to negotiation or compromise!! Clear the decks and prepare for action!! 2016 can't get here soon enough!!

And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given liberty!!

Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every new monthly signed up. We already have 24 new monthly donors this quarter.

Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. And we have received 109 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.

Indexing means nothing so long as the bureaucrats can decide how much of the actual increase in the cost of living that they will acknowledge. Social Security has been indexed for a long time and the official figures are ridiculously understated. If a REAL cpi adjustment had been used the whole system would have crashed long ago. The official figures say that $9.88 now has the purchasing power of $1.00 in 1950. In reality it would be more than double that. In 1950 working men were supporting famiies on sixty dollars a week or less. That won’t even pay the electric bill for an all electric house in many areas now. To be “comfortable” now, not rich at all but comfortable, a person needs to make in one year what a working man of 1950 expected to earn in a LIFETIME.
