I have received apologies from 2 friends for voting for Obama. That never happened before...

You're fortunate. I have one set of in-laws that will never change their minds. They still believe the BS, and in a totally transformed country would be party loyalists and petty apparatchiks.

Why 80% of the country hasn't risen up against this foreign agent is beyond me. I say 80, because there's always 10% that are in defiant opposition to the civil order around them, and 10% are illegal aliens.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." - T. Jefferson

Yes, counter to those folks, I've had to disown in-laws myself.

But they were so foul I would have done it for many other reasons, so no real loss there.

The disenfranchised people of this country have not “risen up” simply because they are not ORGANIZED.

We laugh at Obama’s past as a “community organizer”, but how do you think a mere 12 percent of the population got so politically powerful?

A reinvigorated Tea Party (perhaps with a name change) might a good place to start.

As long as the 50% that voted for their free birth control, free abortions, EBT cards, union bailouts, and everything else they voted for, they don't care.

And as long as the Fed continues injecting the economy with printed dollars in exchange for bonds that we'll eventually have to pay back, they'll get their freebies.

I have some relatives who are the same way. When it comes to Obama, it is a case of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. Obama is more pure in their eyes than the pope for devout Catholics, the Mormon prophet for Mormons, or Mohammad for Muslims. Obama can do no wrong. It is not even possible. If Obama is for something, they will change their view to conform to his. It is not worth discussing anything political with them. They are true believers who wouldn't see the truth if it slapped them in the face.
