Elections have consequences - we were warned
June 26, 2015 | Self

This is exactly why, when conservatives sit on the sideline awaiting the 100% pure candidate, we damage ourselves. Election have consequences and this is one - the ability to select Supreme Court Justices who will sit for life. Look at the ages of Obama's picks - 55 and 61. They are not going anywhere for years.

Abortion, gay marriage, assaults upon Christianity... and we dare to sing God Bless America. Why would he bless us when we spit in his eye.

We have been making decisions on objective reality since we developed a sense of self. When a man is the first Gov in America to legalize gay marriage, we can objectively say he is not a conservative but a danger to the people he governs.

When we see your daughter’s date pull up on prom night with a backpack filled with sex toys, we can objectively make a decision that she won’t be leaving with him.

If we put as much effort into fixing our problems as we did making excuses we would have fixed this mess years ago.

Right, but Congress doesn’t do crap about it and they have the power to do it, but haven’t even attempted to do a thing. Something has to change. I don’t know the answer. I guess I’m just frustrated, pissed, disappointed and afraid for our country. At least we have FR to rely on our friends here.

What astounds me, or maybe it shouldn’t, is the number of times the “conservatives cost us..” crap has been posted.

Yet, on the first page of the thread I pointed out that McConnell and Boehner both have majorities. Which kind of shoots down the “conservatives aren’t voting” garbage.

Those majorities were put in place to hopefully reign in the excesses of government. We all know how well that has worked out.

And we’re supposed to again “vote for the lesser of two evils” because things will get worse if we don’t.

I’m not sure how that works out, because it’s not like the current Congress doesn’t have the power to put the president in his place.

It works out that these people are either outright liberals or as mentally ill as an outright liberal. Because reality denial is a classic diagnosis for insanity.

I would appoint 5 new justices to outvote them and make their presence useless.

You'd have to get rid of five in order to appoint five more.

Or, like FDR, you could try and convince Congress to increase the number from nine to, say, fifteen.

exactly, I would increase the number which is allowed.

In fact the number of judges has been different many times throughout history.
