For Republicans, it may be the season to be jolly, but not optimistic. Seventy-two percent of Republicans are fearful about their future in 2013, and 79 percent fear for the world, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. This is a substantial increase in GOP gloom since 2006, when only 20 percent said they were fearful about their personal future during the Republican presidency of George W. Bush. Fifty-four percent of Republicans were fearful about their personal prospects after Democrat Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008. In contrast, three-quarters of Democrats Author's name corrected by staff.

I´m no longer a republican. I´m an American (as opposed to ???-american), love this country and I´ll be praying hard. In the words of a famous and brave man...."let´s roll".

Well, yes. They have a clue. Democrats don´t.
And the most obnoxious thing is that when it all goes to heck, Republicans will be blamed.

Could be that we knew that GW loved this country and his fellow man. This ´thing´ we have in the WH is a mooslim goon. The goon is on vacation - we can only hope that a shark or octopus will miss not miss.

Democrats will suffer more than Republicans during Obama´s Reign of terror. They are already out of work and can´t find jobs. Wait until the economy collapses and Nero will be playing golf.

When George Bush was re-elected, there was not much Republican gloating, and some democrat celebrities threatened to move out of the country but did not follow through. Their fear was merely posing.
This time around, I have spoken with a great many Conservatives and Republicans who are genuinely saddened and fearful for their personal situation and for the Country. It is not faked; it is actual, real fear.

It is real fear. I fear the government more than any time in my life. I fear the morons that elected Bronco Bamma again. I never thought I needed a gun, but fortunately in my state I can get a concealed carry permit. I am reconsidering my position very seriously this Christmas season. This seems to be the time the Libs want to double down on taking away our rights. Too bad they won´t take away my fears.

The people tearing down this country are suicidally insane on a grand scale. They think to gain ultimate power, but all they will do is destroy the very nation that gave them so much. Destruction is easy. It is building that is hard. Don´t fear them. Seek to sidestep their evil as best you can. If they bankrupt coal, use wood. Each of us lives and dies, and none knows how long we have. We must do our best to make a positive difference in our own families and at local and state levels. Use the gifts God gave us until he calls us home.

First, the photo of the Delusional One makes reading the article very difficult. 4 more years of these photos is cruel & unusual punishment.
What´s interesting in survey are these two findings:
1. . More than three-quarters say the economy is still in a recession.
2. Yet..."55 percent are optimistic about the policies of President Obama in his second term".
If 4 years of Obama´s policies still have most people thinking that we are in recession that ended in 6/09, why do so many feel optimistic now?

I had four combat tours in Vietnam. I put on my boots, picked up my rifle and went out to face the enemy to save America from Communism. I´m now 74 years old, and I believe I will have to do it again. Right here at home. Happy New Year.

The Republican Party is the ordinary people--NOT the politicians or party bosses. The principles of the party have not changed. The pols have. The problem is we stopped caring. We let others choose the direction of the party and we don´t hold our reps accountable. It is our fault for continuing to let others decide and for voting for the same professional politicians over and over again. A new party? We´d just do the same thing again.

I will stand up and tell anyone anytime/any day that I am proud to be an American.
Am I concerned about the future?? Yes, absolutely, but you know, we haven´t had a true crisis here since WW II and more recently the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. And 9/11 - May God rest their souls. I was old enough to understand the Cuban missile crisis. Now THAT was something to worry about. 9/11 will be in-grained in me forever, another story for another time.
While it should not be so, perhaps those who have not/cannot see the proper way forward need a soul-searching experience to wake up and see what is happening. Or they see what is happening and glad to see it.
We need to get past this fear thing fast and fix what is wrong with Amerika. Sitting back in fear is just what the left is hoping we will do. Time to snap out of it. What do you say, folks?

Europe´s largest economy Germany, which has been criticized for not doing enough to help struggling euro zone countries, has topped a poll as the world´s most popular country. The survey carried out for the BBC, polled 26,000 people in 25 countries, and asked them to rate 16 countries and the European Union, as a whole, on whether their influence on the world was mainly positive or negative. Germany came out on top, with 59 percent of the survey´s participants awarding it a positive rating. The country moved up three percentage points from its 2012 position.

COLLEGE PARK, Md- In the Internal Revenue Service targeting scandal and others, Washington and the media are obsessed with the question: What did the president know and when did he know it? That misses the point. Barack Obama´s presidency is much more damaging to the nation than the mistakes of subordinates now coming to light. Most recently, we learned Obama met with anti-Tea Party IRS Union President Colleen Kelley just before the tax agency began targeting conservative groups. Is that the smoking gun? Was the president in on the plan to harass opponents of big government?

WASHINGTON - Three days of congressional hearings about the Internal Revenue Service´s targeting of conservative political groups have lawmakers looking for ways to widen an investigation that has so far been largely contained within the tax collection agency. More than 11 hours of testimony and an inspector general´s report have revealed plenty of wrongdoing within the IRS. But so far, investigators have not produced evidence that anyone outside the IRS authorized the targeting, or even knew about it before a few weeks ago. They will keep trying. Three congressional committees are investigating the matter, and the leaders of those committees

A Wall Street Journal editorial socks it to the president and his hands-off management style. Every day brings new revelations about who knew what about the IRS targeting conservative groups during President Obama´s re-election campaign, but the overall impression is of a vast federal bureaucracy run amok. While the White House continues to peddle the story of a driverless train wreck, taxpayers are being treated to a demonstration of the dangers of an unwieldy and unaccountable administrative state. Look, Ma, no hands! In his press events, Mr. Obama has said that while he learned about the Cincinnati rogues

It could have been a match made in tax haven. A young Michelle Obama once dated the inspector general who recently uncovered the IRS scandal, according to a bombshell report.The future First Lady, then known as Michelle Robinson, reportedly dated J. Russell George, the current IRS top watchdog responsible for investigating the widening trouble at the tax agency, while the two were at Harvard Law School in the 1980s, the National Journal reported.The power pair were both members of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA) and graduated together in 1988, and at the very least, shared a few

LONDON- Two British men of Nigerian descent accused of hacking a soldier to death on a London street in revenge for wars in Muslim countries were known to security services, a source close to the investigation said Thursday. One man, filmed calmly justifying the killing as he stood by the body holding a knife and meat cleaver in bloodied hands, was named by acquaintances as 28-year-old Londoner Michael Adebolajo - a British-born convert to radical Islam. So frenzied was the attack, some witnesses thought they tried to behead the victim.

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

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

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.

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.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state
