Where We Go from Here

In my home state of Maryland, there were rampant reports of fraud during early voting in November. A number of voters who cast ballots for Republican candidates witnessed the computer system automatically flipping their votes in favor of the Democrat candidate.

Evidently, this turned out to be a national phenomenon.

In other states, voters did indeed cast votes for Republicans, only to see the mandate overturned by the D.C. Oligarchy led by Barack Obama, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell.

It is hard to exaggerate what has just occurred in Congress. Democrats were completely repudiated and defeated in November. Then, Obama unilaterally sacked our system of governance and granted amnesty with the flick of the wrist. Yet, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell worked hand-in-glove to help the defeated Democrats pass a budget that fully funds Obama’s entire lawless operation for the rest of the year – as if the executive amnesty never happened.

When some grassroots liberals began to oppose the bill because of tangential provisions, Obama and his allies reminded them that they had gotten “virtually everything” they wanted from the bill. This, after losing an election.

Stunningly, only 67 Republicans, 29% of the House membership voted against it. Even many of those members only opposed the bill once they realized their votes were no longer needed.

So where do we go from here?

I’m two months away from joining a militia. I’m not happy about it.

So where do we go from here?

Nowhere. Short of a revolution, there is no where to go.

[central_va]

There will be a secession at some point, ironically about the same split as last time.

See tag line.

[Logical me]

Been saying for a long time, America will never return. It is permanently damaged beyond repair. And a totally corrupt communists Federal System which includes all parties are responsible. Only cure, revolution.

[txnativegop]

America has been on life-support; the doctor has performed the test for cognitive functioning:

The result: no brain function.

never thought I’d see this day.

[tennmountainman]

So true. No party represents us.

[jjsheridan5]

I still think that if conservative Republicans pulled away and formed a 3rd party, that party would grow even faster than UKIP did. At this point, it is our only realistic chance, since clearly changing the party from within is a non-starter.

[Jacquerie]

We can’t change Obama. We can’t change the GOP establishment. But we can change the structure of our government to once again promote liberty.

Article V.

[txnativegop]

To say it will be difficult would be an understatement of colossal proportions.

and in the meantime, our freedoms will quickly be destroyed by the power hungry elites in DC and elsewhere.

[ronnie raygun]

Agreed, these feckless ballless arrogant cowards do not represent us by thier actions in thepast few days, if a third party comes into view it will skyrocket and bury the rest

[jjsheridan5]

To say it will be difficult would be an understatement of colossal proportions.

The difficulties are overstated. The exact same things were said about Reagan, Perot, and UKIP. They were wrong then, and wrong now (Perot had a very good chance of winning had he not dropped out inexplicably). But, either way, the chance of success, as long as it is greater than 0, is greater than the alternative of reforming the party from within.

and in the meantime, our freedoms will quickly be destroyed by the power hungry elites in DC and elsewhere.

That is happening, regardless.

I think there is a very good chance that it would skyrocket. But look at it this way: if it didn't, if the electorate really wanted an ever-expanding governmental tyranny, and the third party approach failed, then wouldn't it be equally true that the country is, for lack of a better word, f'ed? Why not try? There really isn't anything to lose, since the country is lost if we keep going the way we are. And, while there isn't anything to lose, we stand to gain, or re-gain, the best country, in every sense of the word, that the world has ever known.

[Shady]

I agree and none too soon.

[oldbill]

America is now in its death throes.
The last act will occur when California, in a few decades to be 70% Hispanic, will secede or rejoin with Mexico.

The rest will soon follow. Texas, the Northeast, the renewed Confederacy, Middle America.
Just like the old Soviet Union.

[Jagdgewehr]

That’s it. That’s what I’m saying.

[ex91B10]

Seems like it’s the only option left: we can’t vote, the courts can’t be relied on and the masses are ignorant.

[LaRueLaDue]

The breakup can’t happen soon enough, in my opinion.

It will be relatively quiet, just like the breakup of the USSR. And it will surprise all the pundits and the ruling class in DC, just like the CIA was caught off-guard by the demise of the USSR.

And all the NE and coastal Communists can reap what they have sown over the last century.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Article V convention.
