No surrender for me. I’ve got kids and grandkids that will have to deal with this crap if I don’t.

"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. "

The above is from the Declaration of Independence.

People will put up with a lot of grief, before they directly oppose their government.

Obama, the Democrats, the media, most Republicans and the government bureaucracy are all trying to see just how far they can push American citizens before those citizens take other action to free themselves from the yoke the above have placed on them.

Seems like half the folks on this thread need a swift kick in the ass.

Sgt. Baker died in the face of on rushing Jap soldiers, and made every bullet count.

He had dreams of America also. On the day he died, he knew there was no hope for him, but there would be an America back home that he would be sacrificing himself for.

Here, it’s all melancholy over losing what was.

Well, it is never going to get fixed if we ALL don’t get it in gear and do something about it.

We have four months to save the country.

Pray for America and for God’s grace on our land, and get up and get going.

Teach your kids and grand kids why this is the greatest country on earth.

Well over a million Sgt. Bakers have made it free and kept it free.

And they weren’t sunshine patriots.

The least we can do is honor them and fight for the shining city on a hill that is America.

Four months left to save America. Stop griping and get moving!

The problem as I see it is that many of the very Americans who fought and died in WW2, as well as Korea and Vietnam, are now confirmed members of the Don't Cut My Government Check party.

Take away the structural deficits of Social Security and Medicare, and even Obama couldn't do too much to kill off this economy.

We the people are also curious about ourselves, how much we will take, are willing to suffer, or tolerate, before we push back.

I think about America’s slow awakening at WWII, which exacerbated
the losses to Great Britain, how grand the scale had to become understanding that God surely knew the price for that delay.

Sadly, it always seems to take mortal fear for our very lives before man is willing to engage in a correction, thus resistance becomes more costly than if we had reacted early on.

Truthfully, if the Republicans are going to coronate a socialist at their convention, and then vote for him at the ballot box, after hearing the leaders announce that Obamacare will be very hard to repeal, it is doubtful who among us silly rubes would be willing to resist anything and actually secede, but yes, secession seems to be the only viable recourse, given the lack of brains and will to come up with anything else.

We are voting largely for malaise, not for meaningful change.

You know damn well Romney isn't as bad as Obama.

That's right he's worse; Obama has some sense of what he stands for, Romney does not. Romney is a wind-sock who will do whatever the political winds blow, and let me ask this: WHICH WAY DO THE POLITICAL WINDS IN DC BLOW?

That is the city that arrests military men for having "unregistered ammunition."
