One wonders where a freedom loving person can go to now. It is not inconceivable that communist China has more freedoms and opportunities to pursue life liberty and the pursuit of happiness now.

I just went and scraped off the Romney "Lets Rebuild America" bumper sticker from my car.

We've all been kidding ourselves that we can build anything with so much selfishness holding us back. The parasites have spoken.

Therefore, I am going to be selfish, too. Dems have taken the hard work, generosity, and kindness of conservatives for granted for far too long. It's time they learn that their entitled selves don't have us to ride on. Tell Obama and his minions: We DON'T have your back any more. I'm kicking that saddle off starting today.

This was written in 2008!!

We will see in two years. We are bout to to war in the middle east. Syria is exploding.
Israel is now alone. I do believe in divine retribution. We are now receiving that.
It will get better. but after the scourging..
This is no mandate.

#2. Let me tell you something that I never thought I would be saying.

When I hire someone, my background check will include understanding where they come from politically. I will keep that to myself. How I find out that information I will keep to myself.

I will not hire any Democrat, I don't care if their family is starving. They can stand in line for government cheese.

As far as my vendors are concerned, one Obama bumpersticker on a car of an owner, they won't be my vendor anymore. And I'll make sure others know where they are coming from.

Now it's personal. Now my country is being ruined. I plan to make the next four years very personal.

Good for you, #5. And everyone remember one undeniable fact, the one they shove furthest from view: they need us. We do not need them. Cut off their funds, and they will wither and die.

Off to the Gulch we go.

R.I.P. U.S.A.
1776 - 20012

An excellent Peter Hitchens summary of the state of affairs in the USA. I didn't notice that it was written in 2008 until poster #3 posted it. It is more relevant today than in 2008. Take heart all:

Psalm 46:1

46 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.

I agree. Time to cut the Jerks off. I am unfriending all libs and any moron who voted for the left. Permanently, including best friend since childhood. Let them rep what they have sown. Nice is over, get out of my way!

Exactly right. No more Mr. Nice Guy. All these liberal artists, actors and business owners can kiss my posterior. I will absolutely not allow my family to subsidize them. When Paul McCartney dissed GW three years ago I stopped listening to Beatles music. The heck with these ingrates.

As for me, I'm keeping my R&R sticker on my car. As time goes by and our beloved country is turned into a banana republic, people will know I did not vote for the dictatorship that is to follow. Small solace in that, eh?

I will be surprised if Rush Limbaugh does not announce his retirement this week.

Why should he keep working to smarten up a nation of schlubs who care more about sports and entertainment celebrities than their own freedom? He fought the good fight every single day but was beaten by a cabal of leftists and party hacks posing as news reporters.

"These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America’s conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the cultural and moral fronts."

Sad. True. Tragic.

Especially the part about the GOP refusing to fight as a moral force. To do that, you must - must! - identify the enemy as immoral. This is impossible if you grant him the sanction of "good intentions" or "idealism" or "difference of opinion" or whatever smokescreen du jour Democrats demand in order to commit their crimes unpunished.

Sanctioning the Enemedia, by letting them once again host and control the debates (why??!!) is another mistake. The evidence of malpractice against the Enemedia now reaches from here to the moon, yet- no prosecutions??!! Why not??!!

Today, I see little hope, and strategic thinking shifts away from winning elections and toward surviving an electorate hostile toward success.

Those who have not done so already can quit patronizing Hollywood, alphabet news, and liberal newspapers and magazines. Get your news from Rush or Lucianne, but don't pay for it. Liberal TV will melt your brain.

#4 is correct. There will come a judgment on those who have not asked for forgiveness. We cannot expect any less for the abominations our society demands, and celebrates on a daily basis.

This is not our home, we are only passing through.

Be careful with that one #11, some deserving Dem might need a car.

#5 and #6 - well, now that we've abandoned being America and have turned into Europe, why not give the Obama voters a taste of Europe, and declare a national strike? We'll all walk off our jobs, and head to the welfare offices, telling them we want ours, too. Meanwhile money for Obama voters not to mention goods and services will dry up.

Let's demand that multimillionaire Democrats like Soros and Katie Couric and Steven Spielberg support us. Let's be creative here.

The question is Where to go?

Some of us are not young anymore.

I have been posting for months that Romney would never be president and it was time to plan the rest of your life. In my heart I hoped I was wrong, but in my mind I knew I wasn't.
We should make the most of each day. Don't put off the things you really want to do. Each day is going to be a tiny bit worse than the day before. More people will see their lives changed in devastating ways with no hope of recovery, but we have some time. Make the most of it and maybe plan where you will go if we degenerate into a dictatorship.
We did get to see the pinnacle of human achievement.

@Peppertree. You know, I thought exactly the same thing this morning. I know if I were Rush and I felt the way I feel today, I would!

In reply to #15, Molon Labe...

I'm with you about making it personal. I plan to de-friend some Facebook friends today. I don't need folks that air-headed in my circle. And, I so wanted to see the new Lincoln movie. It looks marvelously done, but since it is a Speilberg production, it is off my list!

Just wait until Taxmeggedon hits in January. Zero's cult members won't know what hit them. Wait until Obamacare is fully implemented in 2014. No care is available, nothing but long lines and death. God's protection over the USA is gone. Democrats booed Him at their convention. We get what we deserve.

I think the dems have a lock on the WH for years to come. There is simply no republican anywhere that can beat a dem for the top spot. Face it, Americans want free stuff early an often. We`re living the 60`s all over again. If it feels good do it.

Remember it was the cheap labor loving wimpy Republican business interests who caused mass uncontrolled illegal immigration to get up a head of steam in the first place.

The liberal Democrats now intend to eventually flip the vast majority of those illegal aliens, through incremental amnesty programs and a "path to citizenship" into an overwhelming number of new liberal Democrat voters.

Those factors have now become a growing albatross around the neck of the GOP that no longer will be able to muster up enough voters to win future national elections.

I understand all the bitterness in the posts above. But I don't see how cutting off our personal friends and contacts --because they happen to be Dem voters-- is going to help anything.

I'm a close friend of a retired policeman. He is at heart a good person, but a dyed-in-the-wool Dem and union guy. He hated Romney (called him "Willard"), and mocked Ryan. The Dem's clever, demagogic class-warfare lies were tailor-made for people like him.

Yet he understood how bad Benghazi was. He is pro-gun and pro-military. The next few years will severely test his Dem credentials! I will still be around to gently push him in the right direction.

Paging John Galt.

#7 – Slightly different take: 7-4-1776 – 11-4-2008 -- The last nail in the coffin: 11-6-2012

We are going to have those two Americas that idiot past VP candidate Edwards kept talking about.

One will stay very creative and buck the system, work hard and survive (not thrive); the other, will survive for a while until their handouts run out.

I can see our streets full of chaos and ill will.

I mourn for our country. I truly hate those who caused this to happen, whether from ignorance (forgivable) or on purpose (hardly so).

I fear for future war inside our own country and for our awesome military.

I fear for Israel - no one has their back.

Polarization is not sustainable for long.

After decades of leftist criticism from Britain, it's impossible for me to take this guy seriously.

Reply #12 makes me wonder if they've ever listened to Rush. His demise and retirement was the topic of speculation when Clinton won 2nd term and when Bush won the first one. Begs the comment, ''Oh please!''

Same comment about a 2008 column from some Brit.

#3 dittos

This is a FOUR YEAR old article.

The situation is similar enough, but I thought something this old got the closed thread treatment.

All this doom and gloom is very unseemly. Get ahold of yourselves. This fine country has suffered fools and tyrants before: FDR, Wilson, Carter, Benjamin Harry Henderson. Barry O is weak sauce compared to the despotic FDR regime. He tried to pack the Court for goodness sakes. We had to amend the Constiturion as a result of his insaterible list for power. The Obama years will be rough, but the nation will bounce back. Think of these lost years as reparations. After 8 years of reparations we won't owe the blacks a thing. They will have to compete on a level playing field just like all the rest of us. Think of it!
