for the victims of 9/11? When that drunken degenerate, Kennedy, finally went to Hell, the media waxed prolix that the rain in the east was the heavens weeping for him. There are a lot of useless mouths in this Country.

Some of us could. And to be honest, right now we are in better shape than I thought we’d be. I was almost hoping Hillary would win over The Big 0 because even though I figured she’d manage to hold onto power for 8 years, I knew with her in charge there’d still be a country left to save after she was term limited. With this guy, I’m not as certain. So, much as I despise John McCain, and much as I knew that my vote in the People’s Republic of Maryland couldn’t possibly change a thing, I voted for him (I’d like to say I pulled the big R lever with gusto, but MD was an early adopter of electronic voting). Like Art, I fully expected card check would be the first thing passed. And with their large margins I expected both socialized health care and cap and tax/strangle would be law, with ACORN set to mangle the census even more toward the Blues.

Instead, card check might not ever come to a committee vote, cap and strangle has been deferred until after socialized medicine, and even with a full court press from Obama and the MSM, we in the grassroots are still scaring the professional politicians enough that they are likely to remain in their default posture: curled up in the fetal position doing nothing while mouthing that they are considering how they will vote.

And best of all, there is a real sense of change in the air. Not the change The Big 0 ran on, the change I felt coming in 1979. True, we aren’t as fully along yet as we were then, but the change is starting. Back then you knew something was different when both Charlie Daniels and Neil Diamond had hit singles extolling America. We haven’t quite reached that point yet, but it is coming. The more The Big 0 tries to slap us down, the more our survival instincts will drive us to oppose him. Tomorrow might just be the breakthrough day. As Churchill said, not the end of the beginning, but the beginning, and while there will still be blood, sweat, toil, and tears ahead, we can make it. We WILL make it. And it is likely that we will make it for the same reason we won WWII: the sleeping giant is awakening, and the ****** (darned) fools who woke him have no idea how idea just how ****** (peeved) after he’s had his morning coffee and taken stock of what happened while he was sleeping.

Hmmm…she’s a bit slower than the average dim-witted OBambi supporter. Most of ‘em hit that at about 8 seconds or so.

is that there was a time when EVERYONE in the US believed in American Exceptionalism. The people who see America as evil at worst or a place that could improve by becoming more like France at best are the offspring of those who used to believe in America.

If the country did split off, what is the probability that 250 years from now, Redstate America would not once again split into two pieces.

That is why we cannot split into two Americas and must in fact take America back.

Blue state America can always move to France, Canada, or anyplace else that they see as superior.

We have no place else to run, so we put in our stand for the last best hope of mankind.

We are a highly urbanized population now, there’s been a larger immigrant influx and in 20 years whites will be a minority.

This is all very different than the wide open spaces, self sufficient individual that founded and build this country up to what it is. Living in dense urban areas is a different mindset, thats why most dense areas are Blue/lib areas.

about what caused the Civil War. Millions of trees have died over whether it was about slavery, tariffs, states’ rights or some combination thereof, but I’ll posit that the Civil War came because The South simply reached the end of its rope in trying to deal with and satisfy the Yankees. Joe Wilson shouted out “You Lie” for the same reason Preston Brooks caned Sen. Sumner; he just couldn’t stand it any more.

The Left has vilified the Right and Center in this Country for decades. We on the Right are evil, xenophobic, imperialistic, racists. The Center is uninformed, uninvolved, and needs to have its conciousness raised by the smart Lefties. Christians of all political stripes are pig-ignorant theocrat wannabes. I can go on for a paragraph or two, but the point is that if you aren’t one of the “good people” on the Left, you are a subhuman, the German word for that is untermenchen, ring a bell?

God knows I’m tired of them. I simply cannot stand the sound of Comrade Obama’s voice. Listening to his lying and whining minions is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I’m simply sick of these people and I don’t want to just passively take it and try to work it out in the political system because I know they don’t respect that system and will undo it as soon as they think they’re safe in doing so. Give them an ACORN conducted census and card check and they’ll start the war because they won’t be able to resist the opportunity to eliminate all that oppose them. Invest in precious metals.

If you take a trip over to the BBC website, you can’t find a single headline talking about the protest yesterday. It has literally vanished, as though all of those people (numbering from the “many tens of thousands” to the “hundreds of thousands” and perhaps “millions” or just “thousands” if you read the AP) weren’t even there, as though nothing they said mattered and the reason so many of them showed up was a hallucination.

That’s the BBC. Their biggest headline about the United States right now is: “U.S. Plans Afghan Prisoner Overhaul.”

And this goes back to what you said in another thread here: the protest was a monumental occasion but because the media in this country and elsewhere in the world want to downplay it, we now face the challenge of translating that massive turnout and groundswell of opposition to Obama’s policies into concrete political action.

We aren’t going to be assisted by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the BBC, the New York Times, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, Newsweek or any number of others. We’re now faced with the difficult task of maintenance, and translating the goals of this movement into identifiable political action.

But at the very least, yesterday’s protest should give Barack Obama pause. Never in my lifetime have I seen so many Conservative and Republican Americans rally together for a cause: it was an unprecedented and truly significant event. And the message to Obama should be: “It will magnify, and it will grow, and it will be repeated all across this country in the next few years.”

We need to make sure we have the will and the determination to make that happen. Our politicians need to stop sitting the fence and get on board with us.
