America is on the edge of a second revolutionary war.
It may not be bloody like the first one, but it will be hugely important.
Some might suggest it’s more a civil war, but with liberty and the constitution hanging in the balance, revolution seems a more appropriate comparison.
There are no British troops or monarchy to fight this time.
The ‘shot heard around the world’ wasn’t fired from a musket, it came from the ballot box.
Americans have taken a long hard look at the kind of fundamental transformation promised by Barack Obama and the Democrat party and they want nothing to do with it.
The Republican victory suggests Americans are more than just unhappy with the direction the country is headed.
Such was the devastating scope of the electoral debacle for the Democrats that it appears Americans are mobilizing for war against the Obama agenda.
They are only now truly beginning to understand the threat to liberty he presents.
What’s so deeply troubling, albeit not entirely unexpected, is the disdain, arrogance and contempt with which this president dismissed the results.
“So to everyone who voted, I want you to know I hear you. To the two-thirds of voters who chose not to participate in the process yesterday, I hear you, too,” he said.
Meaning what?
He seems to be suggesting that by not voting, the majority of Americans agree with what he’s doing.
Terrifying? You bet.
It’s taken six years, but the ugly truth about Obama’s contemptuous attitudes toward the people who elected him twice is becoming all too evident.
Lame duck? Guess again.
The man probably realizes that a chance to remake the U.S. according to his far left view of the world may not come around again.
His time is running out. Obama’s ‘nuclear’ option is amnesty for millions of illegals.
He expects those illegals will become dependents of the state, thus stacking the electoral deck in favour of Democrats by promising the new ‘wards of the state’ a suite of entitlements.
The depth of this destructive agenda is clear, rip off trillions in wealth (which Obama believes was stolen anyway) and give it to those whom he considers ‘victims’ of capitalism.
The beneficiaries will naturally reward the progressive left with voter support into perpetuity. Viola, the progressive dream of a one-party state is realized.
This has been decades in the making. The left has infiltrated, corrupted, and subverted the institutions that had, up to now, served as pillars supporting freedom, democracy, and prosperity.
The bulk of what was once a free and independent media has been reduced to little more than an arm of the Democrats.
That tens of millions of Americans are flocking to Fox News, Conservative talk radio and online news sites is heartening but doesn’t change the fact most TV, print media outlets are in an advanced state of putrid, cancerous liberal rot.
The same cancer has undermined the school system, ‘big labour,' the environmental movement, and the Hollywood culture machine.
Even capitalism itself has succumbed to the lure of easy government money, power and cronyism.
So who is left to fight for freedom? The rest of America.
Obama will attempt to ram through amnesty, climate change, wealth redistribution and he will ignore the constitution to do it.
Republicans have assured Obama impeachment is off the table. And so the battle lines are drawn.
Fasten your seatbelts Canada, we’re about to get a front-row seat to the battle for the soul of America and indeed the free world.
Let’s hope that, as in the first revolutionary war, that the right side wins.
If it doesn’t, we all lose.
Great easy. Good to know we have support of some of our northern brothers and sisters.
Marc has to be a Freeper.
America is We the People - it is not Barack Obama.
Keep your powder dry!!
The conclusion of the Liberal/Socialist/Communist/Tolerance/Political Correctness/Liberty for some but not for thee experiment in America has only two logical outcomes. If drawn out to either it is highly likely violence will be a huge deciding factor right before we win, or we lose.
Republicans just need to enforce that the percentage of resources spent on the dole will not change. If you add more people on it, just divide the money by more people and give everyone less. These games will stop quickly.
Led by Field Marshal Mitch McConnell and General John Boehner?
Color me AWOL.
But I think it's not the right time yet. You only want impeachment if you can have removal from office and Reid's Senate would never allow that.
You need 2/3 of the Senate to vote in favor. We need the public to be overwhelmingly in favor so that 12 or 13 Dem Senators vote with the GOP in the new Senate. I can see this as a real possibility as Obama continues to go off the rails, but an impeachment in the House prematurely is in vain.
Guess we know what to do with you when the dust settles.
If there is a civil war, I think some of Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and New Brunswick) will help the good guys (us conservatives).
Lame duck?
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
“Viola, the progressive dream of a one-party state is realized.”
Geeez, how does a Canadian get this wrong?
Should be “Bassoon! The progressive dream is realized.”
Oboehner says Obama got the nation into a piccolo. He should be drummed out, preferably without violins.
“Fasten your seatbelts Canada, we’re about to get a front-row seat to the battle for the soul of America and indeed the free world.”......
They seem to know us better than we know ourselves!
We’re gonna need LOTS more popcorn!
Whoda thunk 20 years ago that the time would come when Canadians are telling us to man up......
Republicans have assured Obama impeachment is off the table.
What...is the end game for Republicans? Seriously. Demise?
The kind of "popcorn" that people often store in olive drab, watertight, metal boxes? Definitely.
I doubt we will see another Democrat President impeached in my lifetime after the Billy Jeff fiasco in the Senate.
Right now if the house Impeached Obama, I do not see 50 guilty votes in the Senate. Much less 67. Probably 40-45 guilty.
No, I would have to say impeachment is off the table.
