It is hard to hit all points. This election felt different to me because so many people that I know voted Obama. Writing helps calm my consternation.

But, many of these children are also rebelling against the basic tenets of identity politics and sheepism that the left has so deftly pushed. Many Americans are beginning to wake up and smell the corruption that is endemic whenever this kind of cash is thrown around. Also, Pelosi's perfidy is so readily apparent even liberals are embarrassed by her. They may defend her tepidly, but they know she's a bold-faced liar. Furthermore, they are also beginning to grow weary of the sight of his face. The fit of pique at the GOP is fading fast as they begin to realize what a terrible choice them made handing all power to these fools. The country is just beginning to awaken from the cold, long winter of denial. Unfortunately, you are very correct about our children being indoctrinated with collectivist thinking.

We still elected at least a nominally conservative Presidentfor 8 years and congress for 14. The reason the Deomocrats have been dominating elections since 2006 is because Bush thought it was "beneath the office of the President" to defend himself from political attacks. This is why he was demonized so successfully. If Bush had been a bit more competent and willing to stick up for himself there would be no President Barack Obama right now, and probably no Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Ried.

The polls showed that most Americans believe Obama was the best candidate for the poor economy. All this in spite of the history of failed socialism. This is what is discouraging. It's like don't you get it dummy? Voters completely missed the real cause of the mortgage crisis. The polls showed that most Americans believe Obama was the best candidate for the poor economy.

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams A constitutional historian described further what John Adams meant by the quote above. Our law does not come from our government. We hold that our law comes from God. For if we do not accept God as the higher authority, then we must accept that our law comes from whoever is in power. Hence moral relativism and the secular humanist movement. "He who will not be ruled by God will be ruled by tyrants" Patrick Henry “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

I still stand by Huckabee. Are you going to tell me that he advocated higher taxes and spending like liberal democrtats? True I am not aware of what he did as governor, but I am aware that his reputation was not like moderate McCain. The man was a former Baptist minister. They are not known for liberal views. integrating into the conservative platform than moral relativism and its impact on conservative voters. I still stand by Huckabee.
