Short of extermination or displacement of a whole populace, no country ever quite ‘goes away’. The Russian Federation and its clients are a very different animal that the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. They did get rid of much of their dead wood and dead end economy, and so must we at some point.
We even have a recommendation to that effect:
“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and Happiness.”
Anybody who thinks Obama’s reelection is doomed is being naive.
In fact, that very thought suppresses turnout in the very voting group you want at the polls.
“We got this in the bag” thinking is leads to less effort, not more.
I do not support Romney, but this is not a helpful article.
"Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed."
Do you really think the republicans are going to challenge the status quo? Of the whole crowd of R’s in the senate right now, you can probably name 5 true conservatives. (DeMint, Paul, Inohfe, and maybe a few others). The rest are dim lite’s.
"Long-ball view"..what a laugh. Romney is just another ploy to keep hiding the ball....to the untimate goal of complete Federal control. Game over.
AMEN!! ANd good for you flipping a TED NUGENT vote to Romney!! TED NUGENT???? REALLY???? OMG...
Working harder is BS in your world? Go crawl into your cave and let the rest of us rescue America.
Your exposition of why this "tax" is unconstitutional is excellent.
I’m with you.....we have a battle ahead for sure, but Americans have never run from a battle, and we shall not run now.....
Fight or Die
No, Roberts made a tax, not Obama. Roberts handed ‘12 to Obama on a silver platter. Obama’s in the clear and can stand proudly by his promise that he wasn’t going to make it a tax. He got what he wanted and it’s clear sailing to November.
Today’s SCOTUS Decision Dooms Obama’s Reelection
Wow. Talk about going into full spin mode. What the hell’s the difference between that crap and progressives claiming what a huge victory it would have been for obama if the SC struck down obamacare. Or what a huge win for obama it would be if Holder was held in contempt of Congress? Spin, spin, spin.
The people in this photo and their sign makers are not independents and were always going to vote for ObaMao. If they bother to vote at all. There is always the possibility that they now believe they don’t need to do it again. Think about it.
That’s the spirit.
And regarding yout tagline, state-condoned legalized abortion IS the root of all of this dysfunction and self= destruction.
The difference is that now The Great Unwashed have something to be pizzed about.
Yeah, let’s use Supreme Court decisions to sway elections.
If you can’t see that it doesn’t get any more corrupt than this, you are more lost than I thought.
The social contract has been torn asunder.
The fact is, that the SCOTUS has just ruled that it is permissible to force a US citizen to buy a product or service, or face a fine. This will eventually result in Government-decreed cars, Government-decreed food, and even Government-decreed books. This flies in the face of everything that it is to be a free American.
Party control waxes. Party control wanes. But SCOTUS rulings take decades to reverse, on the rare occasions they are reversed at all. All it takes is one bad election, and the government can now decree we must own certain products and services.
There is no silver lining here.
