Nope, not liberal. Maybe a j*ck*ss for trying to be funny on my introduction. I a CCW conservative through and through. Well CCW until the boating accident. Never did replace those guns.

Next question: what are We the People going to do about it?
depends on what happens in November...
Considering Hugo Chavez appears to by dying of cancer, that might not be all bad. ;-)
Where to start... San Fran, Chicago, NYC or DC?
This will be a bloodless revolution. Obama has taken over already, he craps all over the laws and Congress and does whatever he wants. The outrage against him is limited in scope and generally only seen on websites like this. The mask of anonymity is wonderful isnt it? People should have risen up and marched on DC long ago and demanded Obama step down. Now he grants amnesty for basically all illegals here, and it hardly registers with the average citizen. To be honest they probably have no clue that he even did this. Next, Obama will figure a way to let these people vote and get him re-elected and all that will happen is that people will bitch and complain on the blogs.
People have to feel pain before they do anything. If the economy crumbles, the lights go out and people can’t get food, then we will see blood in the streets, anything less than that not a thing will happen.
Hell, they would be finished by now.
This is the most important election in the lifetimes of nearly all Americans.
Legally, President Obama has reiterated the principle that he can pick and choose which U.S. laws he wishes to enforce
I agree. Our Republican leaders are essentially impotent. Let’s face it. We’re on our own.
I believe the root of all of it is the basical moral decline of this place. The love of power, thus the reason for abortion, the love of lust, thus the reason for the pushing of homosexuality, the disdain for authority and a LACK of love for the Creator, the LUST for what other’s have, jealousy, envy, etc. — and therefore, changing the laws in that regard — these are all such ridiculous things — just mere human vices — definitely NOT necessary for our survival — yet these issues keep people voting Democratic when they know full well we are in a total economic tailspin.
The immoral public does not want to be controlled, they want WHAT they want WHEN they want it — and they want to wallow in constant pleasure without having to face any consequence for it. They want what others have, yet they don’t want to work for it.
The ROOT of this — whatever it was — whatever kindled this all — I don’t exactly know if we can point to any one thing - is the root of our destruction.
But let’s face another thing — this country could have put it down years ago — but Americans looked the other way and tolerated all of this. We allowed it. We refused to stop it. We could have EASILY stopped it — because its proponents were weak. But we didn’t. We chose instead to be “tolerant.” Now we’re tortured by it.

Talk talk talk - nobody is going to do a dang thing about it and you all know it. Obama can do whatever he wants - whenever he wants. Americans talk a decent talks at times but when it comes down to it everyone is too lazy to bring about real change.
Or, perhaps the unlikeliest, a move toward being a republic.
I pray that you are wrong, but the likelihood that you are correct increases daily.
Sure, whatever you say.
But be careful, and take heed. There are Maoist types who hope for American patriot types to become violent—they foolishly advocate for it, not understanding the worthlessness and self-destruction in their most basic ideas.
The cycle is Freedom, Republic, Democracy, Tyranny, then (at times) a revolt and back to Freedom.
The most stable phase is tyranny (rule by the unelected few). The most unstable is democracy. We are in democracy right now.
In my mind that's preferable to seeing 160 million sleeping sheep, under the stealth Democrat, Romney.
I can think of a few American radicals who would have disagreed with that statement 236 years ago.
