Okay, so we must resist and overcome tyranny. By what means? Keep voting? Other than peaceful means?

Jackie, we're quickly running out of peaceful options, but we're not there yet. There's still a slim chance that we can win our country back by working within the system.

If (and that's a big if) we send enough real patriots to Washington this November, they could stall or gum up the treason works long enough for us to vet more reinforcements to send in 2016.

I watch what Senator Ted Cruz has done almost single handedly, and wonder what ten more like him could accomplish on Capitol Hill. I believe a strong contingent of patriots in Congress could cause all sorts of havoc with the Uniparty's normal operations.

That's as much as I'm willing to hope for, as regards our civil mechanisms over the next few years. We're still going to have leftist judges legislating from the bench, and trying to radically alter our society. Obama's still going to use every bit of power he can grab to do the same.

We've just got to stand strong and keep finding good people to send into the belly of the beast to do the will of the people. They'll get there and turn the tide for us, or at least jam the treason works enough to stop us from going off the cliff.

To actually clean out the swamp and restore our government to something the Framers would recognize, is a very long term objective, in my opinion. There's over a hundred years of subversion and intentional destruction to turn back and undo, and it's metastasized throughout the culture. It may take something a lot stronger than politics to undo all of that.

In the near term, I'm hoping that we don't have to resort to stronger medicine to cure the patient, but it's just a hope. I have few reasons to believe we're not headed for a political split between the blue and red states. Curiously, I think that would defeat the leftist plague faster than anything else we could do, as those parasitic portions of the country would soon starve without having the ability to feed upon the productive half of the people.

We'll see where all this takes us, but there's no doubt that it's coming to a head in some form or another. Just stay strong and resolve to make the right choice when the time comes.

Proof you are delusional.

Agree, but not solely via semiannual elections.

Sure, a government filled with men like Cruz would be wonderful. However, supplying only virtuous men to govern us is not realistic.

<> Leftist judges. Uniparty. Obama’s power grabs.

<>There's over a hundred years of subversion and intentional destruction to turn back and undo, . . .

That is your money quote. It is what must be done. Everything else is an irrelevancy. So the problem is how to undo what 100 years of elections have done. I doubt future national (not federal) elections can possibly reverse the mess we are in. Elections cannot put the consolidated government of Washington DC back in its box. As you say, there is a fetid crust of court decisions, and executive power grabs that elections cannot counter.

So, outside of more elections in which we vote conservative when we can, what is to be done?

Oops.

Instead of, “So, outside of more elections in which we vote conservative when we can, what is to be done?”

I ask how to arrive at where we must go?
