” Nobody will pay any real attention to the problems, only to the national problem of cheating football teams, ”

Even here in Freerepublic - did you see the number of comments in that story?

Thanks for posting that - Jefferson would not recognize his country.

Obama can (and will) promise freebies to all because he has a built-in excuse - Republican-controlled Congress.

Obama knows he can pledge anything to the sheeples without the bother of having to deliver anything.

When nothing materializes he can and will blame Boner and McConnell.

This will be the base for the '16 Dem campaign - they need to take back House and Senate, and retain the WH or those evil Republicans will starve us all...

Thank you!!!

If the pandering "talking points" laid out last night by this President were laid out alongside Jefferson's eloquent listing of the "essential ideas" of liberty, as itemized in his First Inaugural, then many Americans might begin to understand how far America has drifted away from its foundations in freedom.

Circulating Jefferson's words to as many citizens as we can between now and 2016 might go a long way toward "enlightening" the minds of many.

After all, they simply may not have thought through the appropriate Constitutional role of the American President, as well as the other branches of government which "the People's" Constitution limited, structured, divided, separated, checked and balanced in order to protect individual liberty of citizens against invasions by elected and appointed representatives in that government.

They have telegraphed the game plan for Nov 2016.

Elizabeth Warren will be portrayed by the journ-0-lists as an intrepid grandmother fighting for the middle class against Wall $treet and Big Banks.

I agree - but first it would have to be translated into 4th grade English to have most of our population understand it.

“When a government offers free everything, someone is getting robbed or enslaved.”

Very true. In addition, the recipient is enslaved to the theiving redistributer! There is not a single net gain on either side of the argument....

However, the elitist gains a ton by enslaving both parties in the transaction....

Our party is now 100% crony capitalism.
