| Well, now that it's over - and it is, OVER - I might as well add to the requiem vault. I made this list Monday evening before the last vestiges of the Constitution were steam-rolled by Zombies, and the lamp of Liberty grew dim. Many good-hearted patriots are bucking-up, dusting off their Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine quotes, but the fact is, ObamaCare - a colossal, debt-driven nightmare - will, indeed, transform America (as per Obama's wish), and the radical quislings for whom he is sovereign will press forward on many fronts.

-Religious liberty and the Constitutional protection of moral conscience;
I STILL HAVE IT!
-Abundant, affordable energy--the key to economic prosperity and growth;
ITS STILL HERE WAITING TO BE HARVESTED!
-An American military capable of protecting our national interests and projecting power, when and where necessary, around the globe;
YES IT IS BEING DIMINISHED BUT ITS TIME WE STOP BEING THE WORLD POLICEMAN!
-Affordable, accessible, and innovative health care based, increasingly, on transparent pricing, choice and competition;
IT WILL STILL HAPPEN!
-A federal budget that averts Fiscal Calamity the result of massive debt;
THE CHORUS OF RAGE CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER!
-Education policies that prioritize parental wishes and that which is best, in respective states, for each child;
THE NUMBER OF CHARTER SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO INCREASE!
-Tax rates that encourage individual initiative and entrepreneurial risk, as opposed to crushing, punitive taxes that stymie opportunity and discourage endeavor;
WRONG DIRECTION NOW, BUT WATCH FOR A BACKLASH!
-Courts - including the Supreme Court - ideologically oriented toward upholding the Bill of Rights;
WAIT FOR THE BACKLASH!
-An immigration policy that values LEGAL citizenship and creates disincentives to hire aliens who take Americans' jobs;
WRONG HERE. THE LATINO POPULATION DON’T WANT ILLEGAL STATUS. THEY WANT LEGAL STATUS. ITS BORDER PATROL THAT NEEDS FIXING.
-The sanctity of Human Life as a national priority;
THE MEDIA TELLS US THAT IT IS NOT IMPORTANT BUT THEY LIE!
-The sanctity of Marriage as a heterosexual institution;
ITS STILL THE SAME ONLY WE NEED TO GET OFF OUR HIGH HORSE AND LET PEOPLE LIVE THEIR OWN LIVES!
-The sanctity of religious expression as a bulwark of American Life.
PEOPLE OF FAITH NEED TO TAKE A STAND FOR THEIR RIGHTS! BE PREPARED TO BE PERSECUTED!
STOP WITH THIS PITY PARTY AND FIGHT FOR YOUR PRINCIPALS!

It is the adoption of the Monroe Doctrine that is one of the cornerstones of America's make-up. Our defense of freedom and liberty is what made us that "Shining city on a hill".
To desist, we only provide the liberal fascist dictators the world over an excuse to allow their evil to flourish.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
America CANNOT do nothing. It is who we ARE!

Comment #1 is nutty. Obama cannot be "resisted." The media will crucify any politician who tries. Furthermore, the media will call anything Obama does as a success, a great leap forward. Winning in public will now be out of the question.
However, winning in private is still possible. Order your own life. Take care of your own. Stay out of the public eye. Defend yourself. And keep your sense of humor.
That's how people in the Soviet Union survived. And throughout Easter Europe. If you have relatives who lived under that system, talk with them. They will have many good tips that will be of great practical help.
Just remember, keep your head down.
Way down...

I think we lost free and open elections.
obama figured out a way to game many of the voting machines (software within) or just the voting collation process. No way this was a low turnout election. Millions of republican votes were discarded.

Keep telling yourself that you'll have accessible healthcare while the death panel decides whether your elderly parent or your handicapped child need to have lifesaving care. The extra costs might bankrupt the system, doncha know? Keep expecting that you'll get choice and competition in your healthcare. Yup, that always happens with a single-payor system.
What's coming is slow, surly, incompetent and then practically nonexistent hospital and outpatient care. I hope you come from healthy stock or have money to get healthcare someplace offshore.

#3.
Being strategic in our thinking is far from doing nothing!..smart not big ...partnering with freedom fighters not dictators.
Let the world experience THEIR inaction not ours.
The UN is pathetic and needs to bear the responsibility of world consequences, not America.
We need to kick them out of NYC!
Your suggestion is to partner with others who do not value our freedoms the way our Founding Fathers did.
Wasted time.
Wasted lives.
Amreica's price of commitment must be earned not expected!

Ford Motor Co. (F) will stop making cars in Australia, nine decades after founder Henry Ford first began building Model Ts in the country, as a surge in the currency undermines the local industry’s ability to compete with imports. Ford Australia faces costs double those in Europe and four times those of its Asian divisions, local President Bob Graziano told reporters today. He announced the loss of 1,200 jobs from October 2016 at two plants in Melbourne and Geelong.Australia’s three car makers have struggled as a 27 percent rise in the local dollar against the yen

An obscure November 2012 Wikileaks email dump points to former White House counterterrorism adviser and now-CIA chief John Brennan as the person behind the “witch hunt” of journalists who reported unflattering Obama administration leaks. A little over a week after President Barack Obama’s reelection, Wikileaks released an email dump of global intelligence files from the private intelligence company Stratfor. One particular email, dated September 21, 2010 discussed President Obama’s “Leak Investigations.”

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Thursday is expected to address some of the thornier aspects of national security policy, including drone strikes, the prison at Guantanamo Bay and the dire threats Americans continue to face , even from fellow citizens. On the eve of the president´s speech at the National Defense University, the Obama administration revealed for the first time that a fourth American citizen had been killed in secretive drone strikes abroad. The killings of three other Americans in counterterror operations since 2009 were known before a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder to

President Obama will announce Thursday that the White House plans to lift the ban on sending detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Yemen, Fox News confirms, a move that could effectively resume efforts to close down the prison. That effort, however, has been stymied because many countries don´t want the detainees or are unwilling or unable to guarantee that once transferred, detainees who may continue to be a threat will not be released. There are currently about 166 prisoners at Guantanamo, and 86 have been approved for transfer as long as security restrictions are met.

Newly uncovered court documents reveal the Justice Department seized records of several Fox News phone lines as part of a leak investigation -- even listing a number that, according to one source, matches the home phone number of a reporter´s parents. The seizure was ordered in addition to a court-approved search warrant for Fox News correspondent James Rosen´s personal emails. In the affidavit seeking that warrant, an FBI agent called Rosen a likely criminal "co-conspirator," citing a wartime law called the Espionage Act. Rosen was not charged, but his movements and conversations were tracked.

Ibragim Todashev "just went crazy," and pulled a knife during his interview with the FBI, said state and federal law enforcement officials briefed on the latest strange twist in the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing.

WASHINGTON- Senator Elizabeth Warren has found a publisher two months after the Massachusetts Democrat began shopping her book proposal. Henry Holt and Company, one of the nation’s oldest publishers, announced it had obtained the rights to publish the book, which it characterized as telling both “Senator Warren’s improbable rise from a working class family in Oklahoma to the United States Senate,” as well as providing “a rousing call for protecting the middle class.” The book will be published in the spring of 2014 and will be edited by John Sterling, who is editor at large for Macmillan,

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
