Dear readers, it has taken a long time for the events of the last few days to completely gel and sink in. I'm sure it has been the same for you all. Hopefully, when you read this, though the prognosis is bleak, you will get a shot of hope -- and a realization of what is important -- at the end of the article.

Where is THE best place to purchase a Gadsden flag? An organization that will truly use the proceeds for good..??

[wastoute]

Heartbreaking but true. Checkmate. We lost.

[Lazamataz]

We lost, but if you read to the end, you will get two shots of hope.

One, there may be a long term solution. I don’t have the actual solution, but I do have the methodology.

Two, there is, at the very end, true hope, and a reminder of what is important.

[no-to-illegals]

the forces of the extreme left have undertaken, and apparently succeeded, in performing the coup de grace on a staggering nation

Heck, wasn't even drinking this time and they pulled it off while was cold sober. I'm gettin' drunk next time.

[Lazamataz]

I cannot answer that. Make sure not to despair. We have our lives, our loves, our commitment to God. Stay close and honor that which is true.

[factoryrat]

The left, the right, eff them both, I’m playing by my own rules now. Now that the democrat/socialists and their republican boot licking suck-ass buddies have declared war on conservatives and the constitution, all bets are off, bring it on. Whiny hand wringers need not apply.

[Lazamataz]

I'm gettin' drunk next time.

To what end?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Count on it. (I hope, I pray...)

I’m going out LOVING people...I’ve got a great family, I have wonderful friends, I have a community that *gak* needs me. They don’t KNOW they need me...but hey.

And, God gave me a sense of humor. So there.

(But I’m still getting a Gadsden flag bumper sticker)

Scotland is voting to be independent of Britain .So why can't we have on our ballots for each state the right to vote for independence(secession)? Many of us in states voted for several amendments. Why can't we vote for independence?

Please don't act out in violence. That will only beget much more violence.

Noncompliance is understandable, however.

[Jim Robinson]

Solution? Don’t run RINOs.

[Lazamataz]

Because of 1864.

[shibumi]

I do not dispute what you have written. I have one comment on a single line:

"Firearms ownership will be drastically curtailed, via a UN Treaty that will subvert, if not supercede, our Second Amendment. The world looks at America as an oddball, and the world wants our guns gone."

At that point, there will be blood.

[no-to-illegals]

The world looks at America as an oddball, and the world wants our guns gone.

Being under no illusion, once the world has our guns, they know they can take us. Giving up our guns without a fight is what is being sought. Yep, this is becoming a depressing read. Hope I make to the end.

[Lazamataz]

Yes, I would love it if they had given us a clear choice.

But take a look at the markers. The demographics, the snowballing voter fraud. Just running a conservative won't fix those.

We need a long term, Gramscian way to reverse the trend towards leftism. Not running a RINO is a tactical decision, one I agree with -- but we need a strategic vision too.

[Lazamataz]

Uh, tagline removal. LOL

Someone smarter than all of us already did:

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, 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 to 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
