The problem is, Carter America was characterized by inept blunders whereas Obama America, backed up by majorities in both houses of Congress, are poised to inflict far more damage in much less time. I agree American will realize the mistake, but could it really change course that easily? I have a hard time imagining this far left bunch of Dems abiding by our election processes.
The 80-20 rule will apply with "free" health care, i.e. 20% of the population will consume 80% of the resources.
>> That was before we as a Nation had abandoned God, the Constitution, and our Solemn Oaths.
Really? Some would argue that we abandoned the Constitution during the Louisiana Purchase, the disallowance of Southern secession, and particularly during the New Deal.
Some would argue that slavery was no less an abomination before God than would be homosexual marriage. We, as a nation, have departed from God’s will before now.
I’m not really sure what oath you’re referring to.

It took 2 years to neutralize Clinton. IF BHO gets in with a super majority in Congress we’ll have two years of pain but I believe they will overplay their hand. 2010 will be the time to take back Congress to neutralize BHO.
I don’t believe any of the polls coming out of the mainstream press anyway. Any talk of a BHO presidency at this point is very premature. Let’s wait until poeple get in the booth and cast their vote in private. A big Republican turnout will create a McCain landslide. I personally know of MANY die-hard Dems who will refuse to vote for BHO and some of those will vote for McCain.
“Why would it take you three days to find and shoot a deer?”
I totally agree, there are many ways to feed if necessary,

Wrong. Guns mean your children have something to eat.
it will be difficult to take congress back completely in 2010. we will probably be down 40-50 seats in the house after nov 4. doable to recapture in 2 years, but difficult. the senate will out of reach until 2012. the 2010 map will yield a few pickup possibilities but it’ll be impossible to take the at least 6 (probably more like 8 seats) needed to take the senate.
with obama in there, we are realistically looking at 4 years of complete liberal control of the government.
“we will probably be down 40-50 seats in the house after nov 4. doable to recapture in 2 years, but difficult.”
If BHO wreaks the havoc on America that this thread seems to be implying anyone with a (D)next to their name will be roasted.
How many seats changed to R in 2004?
A gun means I can hunt some dinner and protect my garden.
Of course in a city it means you can go hunt up some soylent green.
I sincerely hope your scenario is correct. My son is very politically astute (he's worked on the Hill) and thinks the same thing. However, given Obama's 'transformational' commitment, a supermajority, and a complicit media that obligingly runs cover for the Dems, I can't help but fear some type of shenanigans are in the offing. Pray that I am wrong.
-BUT- so they "WE" could revolt under circumstances EXACTELY like this one..
If Americans are craven cowards and will NOT revolt.. they deserve to be CONQUERED..
Evidently a few female Congress critters have DE-BALLED America..
American men must have become Capons are not Roosters anymore..
“Pray that I am wrong.”
I pray BHO loses the election. It’s our job to inform as many people as possible about the ramifications of an Obama presidency. If we end up losing then we need to continue to be informative and work harder for 2010.
I will be a poll observer in Cuyahoga County this year to see for myself if mayhem rules the polling stations. Cuyahoga County is the home of Democrat ruled Cleveland, Ohio.
McCain? You really think the pseudo-conservative McCain is going to prevent this slide, especially with a Dem Congress in power?
The sad thing is that this is what the American people seem to want - European style socialism. Looks like they’re going to get it, too.
By the way, my son has bumper stickers on his car and drives into 'enemy territory' everyday.
Slavery was rampant World Wide, still is in Africa, maybe you should give a little credit to the US for abolishing it.
Universal service that was present after WW II called for all military to take an oath, I will leave it to you to search that out.
Many in our Government abandoned God for their own purposes, but the general population had not, until recently.
During the impeachment of Bill Clinton, all seated Senators were required to take a new oath, which was broken by almost all of them, within the day they took it.
“For the last 50 years they have been doing it with pistols, Now they want to do it by fulfilling political promises they have made to the welfare classes.”
This screams for a drawing similar to the 9/11 drawing of a soldier taking the flag from a NY fireman with the words “I’ll take it from here”. But in this case Obama takes the pistol from the hand of the ghetto hood.
>> Slavery was rampant World Wide, still is in Africa, maybe you should give a little credit to the US for abolishing it.
You’ve read into my statement things I simply did not say. I said that slavery was an abomination before God. Nowhere did I absolve the world, nor did I deny the US credit for its abolishment. In fact, my argument was that we are an exceptional nation because we have overcome such problems — the abolishment of slavery is simply further evidence to prove my point.
>> Universal service that was present after WW II called for all military to take an oath, I will leave it to you to search that out.
Most people have taken no such oath. This is not a problem with the “general population”.
>> Many in our Government abandoned God for their own purposes, but the general population had not, until recently.
Sin has been prevalent in humanity for eternity, and will be until Kingdom come. One could argue that the general population, not the government, was at fault for the slave trade.
I am unconvinced that sin and Godlessness is any more prevalent now than at any other time. Perhaps more people are expressly non-religious ... but hedonism and moral weakness have been present in the general population for quite some time.
