Agreed. Before the Scandalanche ends, that shoe will probably also drop. That, and the rest of the Obama scandals, will destroy the Demodonkey brand for years and years to come.
it appears to me that about a third of Freepers have quietly (and some not so quietly) chosen to bend their knee and accept the chains of their overlords.

Never said we should accept it as our fate. We do need to SEE what is happening - as in identify the problem.
In other words, this is not by chance, it is all planned. Our reactions DO matter.
It is a time for internal fortitude and standing for the constitution.
I’m sure many Freepers are surprised the MSM is finally getting in on the action. I made the prediction recently that the MSM will eventually blast Obama and Hillary. before the NSA scandal broke. It may defy logic since the MSM love Leftism, but you’re best reporters prefer to go into attack mode. You can sell more newspapers that way. When I was in college I read about the fable of the scorpion and the frog. The scorpion is trapped and wants to cross the river for his safety. He asks the frog to carry him across. The frog says no way I’m helping you because you are treacherous and could stig me then we would both drown. The scorpion keeps pleading with the frog and promises not to harm him, so the frog agrees and carries the scorpion on his back to swim across the flooded river. But before the frog reaches his destination. The scorpion stings the frog. Now the frog can’t swim but the scorpion will drown too, the frog asks the scorion why, and the scorpion says, “I can’t help myself that’s my nature.” Many reporters are just like scorpions, but that’s why they’re so entertaining to watch, and more so when they attack their heroes: Obama and Hillary.
Much appreciated, Hetty. I do have a bright idea every now and then.
I agree that it's a meme that's worth spreading, and not because I thought of the term. It's obvious that we're seeing an avalanche of scandals coming out of this regime, so the term is kind of a no-brainer.
Still, it focuses the attention on the fact that we're looking at a cascade of multiple (and increasing) numbers of breaches of the public trust, from the very top of the food chain in Washington. It's my intention to put the focus on that fact, and in so doing, not leave ANY scandal behind - as the regime would happily have us do.
I couldn't agree more. I'm convinced that there are far too many of us who will fight to the death for our republic, for them to defeat.
It's sort of like that old military joke: "You may as well quit running, you'll just die tired."
So many scandals I am not sure I can name them all! Who’s keeping the list?
I wish it were so, but Liberty will be checkmated by Labor day.
If (when) Amnesty passes, it is checkmate.
The evil RATS will have an easy win in 2016.
“Now that they see what damage he and his administration are wreaking to the foundational pillars of their country and their very lives, a lot of them are growing cold, if not outraged.”
So far, not one person I know personally who voted for Obama would change their vote. Not one. And they all think of themselves as patriotic American, not America-haters, and so far a I can tell, they don’t perceive him that way. The blinders will not come off.
I can’t help wondering if it’s to do with nationalizing the country. Soros wants it and he’s the real boss.
In 1945 the 203 Fabians out of the 394 elected to the House of Commons were this time in power. The triumphant Labor Government succeeded in nationalizing:
1. The Bank of England
2. Cables and wireless
3. Civil aviation
4. Transportation
5. Coal mines
6 Electricity
7. Gas
8. Medical Services.
most of these scandals now are rabbits they released for us to chase so we forget about that Obama ordered the IRS to rig the election for Obama and the democrats/socialists in the Senate. And also to hide the Amnesty bill.
The 80/20 rule is in effect. only 2 out of 10 things are more important than all the others combined. Amnesty bill and IRS scandal are the 2.
The Obama monster wire tapping all our phones and Internet should be huge and is an abuse of power but we have to focus on the IRS impeachment . There is a smoking gun in the IRS scandal . they unloaded a million things and scandals to wipe out the IRS scandal. it was just getting started. Obama ordered the IRS to rig the election for Obama and the democrats/socialists in the Senate.
Okay then, I’ll go full-on tin foil for a minute ...
Maybe Scandalanche is designed to push conservatives into insurrection.
I think the regime is highly pleased, perhaps even giddy, about all this coming out NOW.
They may even be orchestrating it.
The election is over, the next election is many many months away...and all this will be “old news” by the time it rolls around.
” Demoralization Destabilization Crisis Normalization. Sounds like it is in play.
I’ve been closely watching the board lately, and since the election, it appears to me that about a third of Freepers have quietly (and some not so quietly) chosen to bend their knee and accept the chains of their overlords.
On the other hand, go to a site like WSJ.com and read the comments after the various political threads. I’m telling you, all of this is having the reverse effect on most right leaning people in the country. People are on FIRE about the blatant, in-your-face treason of this administration. - - - “
Are there more trolls on this forum than on WSJ ?
I've had that thought, but the question then becomes, "who - why?"
If it's the deep left, they're making a terrible mistake of gargantuan proportions. Pushing the American people to revolt would be like dropping a lit match on a bone dry prairie. No power on earth would be able to put out the resulting conflagration. It would only end when every last trace and vestige of leftism was wiped clean from this country.
Could the right be instigating this? Perhaps, but as a group, they're really not in control of these events. At least not the moving parts that I can see.
Some unseen third player who'd like to see us destroy each other so they can swoop in and make the final kill? Big gamble there. They'd better hope that 99% of the patriot forces are decimated in the fight. If not, they'll die upon contact with us.
Make your own comparison, then draw your own conclusion. I have, and I'm convinced that we're overrun with leftist operatives and establishment droids.
They've been hugely successful in driving down the morale around here.
Their house is literally on fire, and there's no guarantee that it'll be put out. In fact, people keep throwing more torches on it. I don't see how that can be good for them, or why they'd choose to incinerate themselves like this. Unless they're stupid, nuts, or a combination of the two.
These aren't the sort of minor kerfuffles that 'blow over'. No, these are the worst scandals in American history. They won't ever be forgotten.
It's the high info libs who are starting to waver. They're admittedly in the minority on the left.
They didn't even start with Fast & Furious. Remember the Black Panthers voter intimidation case that Holder dropped? Remember the regime sued the state of Arizona for the crime of defending their own southern border? What about the two fraudulent birth certificates?
And then there were the outrages, like Zero returning the Winston Churchill bust, and Air Force One strafing New York City.
The folks I know who voted for Obama are very high info voters. Most make their living in govt/politics. They swim in the shark-infested waters of Washington. They are not low information voters.
They believe not only in Obama personally, they believe in his big picture, visionary goals, and they perceive themselves as 100% pro-American. It’s just a different and very utopian America they want to see.
Throw in those of that mindset with the low info voters and Obama would be re-elected again tomorrow. That’s where this country is now. It MAY change in the coming months and years but as of today, he’d be reelected. What decline in support he’s received does not translate into any support for the opposing party.
I say that a majority of Americans have lost their spiritual and moral compass, and as a consequence have no discernment of good or evil. They elected corrupt officials which in turn created unaccountable departments to be used as instruments of power for political control and gain. What an unholy mess that we are mired in!
