Happy New Year, everyone!! Goodbye 2010, hello 2011, and welcome to the start of the 2012 presidential sweepstakes!!

And we have a lot at stake this election cycle. Namely, our freedom and our very right to exist as a constitutional free Republic!! The Marxist left is now making noises that our constitution is outdated, written in an ancient language that is too hard to understand, and is unnecessary. They want no restrictions on government power whatsoever and believe that there ARE no restrictions on government power whatsoever.

Proof of that is the ramrodding through of the unconstitutional Marxist ObamaCare system and his current scheme of "ruling" the country through his unaccountable czars and unelected regulatory bodies and not having to worry about the congress to pass HIS laws.

This must NOT be allowed to stand!! This would be a total overthrow of our constitutional Republic and everything it stands for!!

Consider the next two years as the battle for continued American freedom vs a complete Marxist takeover of our beloved country!!

Free Republic is needed now more than ever!! I'm hoping that we can continue building on our strengths, that we can focus on fighting to get constitutional conservatives elected, that we can do all we can to thwart Obama's Marxist takeover attempts, and that we can continue building our relationships with the various Tea Party groups and others to rally support for our constitutional conservative causes all across the fruited plain!!

God bless and thank you all very much for your continued support and for making Free Republic the premier God and Country constitutional conservative site on the Internet!!

God bless America!! May she always be free as God intended!!
