Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We need to hit the reset button and fire every politician in Washington. Establish term limits and start over. We also need to take back our educational system. It´s our only chance.

Keep praying!

Exactly! Start with running for local school boards. Take back our schools, or home school. Home schooled will be the leaders of the next generation, since government schools have sapped individualism out of today´s students.
Throw out the garbage textbooks full of liberal poppycock. Teach the Constitution so that children learn how their rights are being incrementally taken away.

I suppose you could call it the Babel Syndrome. A society grows to the point where it overreaches to the point of collapse, then out of the ruins over decades or centuries, a new aspirant emerges. It is because we do not know or admit our limitations, and (whether we admit it or not), consider ourselves to have godlike powers of infinite capacity.

The actual Deity, on the other hand, has a different perspective on things.

If Satan has a "Tour de Hell", Obama surely has a streak longer than Lance Armstrong.

Members of the government, most of whom were elected by us, have screwed us and lined their own pockets, all at the expense of the country and the people. We have been lied to, deceived, threatened, stolen from and ignored by our government. I´m with #1, fire the lot of them. I would however before kicking them out the door, do unto them what they have done unto us. Take away their special health care, retirement benefits, pensions, mansions (unless they arrived in DC rich), and their obvious fraudulent wealth. Never again jobs for life, and that includes the Supreme Court appointed judges. The people want their country back.

Dictator Zippy and his people need to be booed in the street. Enough real Americans didn´t vote for him to be out there to express their--OUR--opinion of that miserable traitor.

I never thought people could be so misled by popular culture/media. Under President Bush, we were safe and prosperous but folks were led to believe that good was bad. Enter Obama and all went bad but the popular culture/media convinced enough that bad was, at least, good enough. Now, most are just in fear and will cling to their little piece of government-issued driftwood rather than swim to any island, no matter how lovely.

"Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer. If it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us; it cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide."
~~ Abraham Lincoln, Address delivered to the Young Men´s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois on January 27, 1838

Face it..We have communists in the white house and in many of the class rooms. They may not be the card carrying variety but they´re sure doing the work of marxists.

He told us what he was going to do. He favored spreading the wealth. Before you can spread the wealth, you must first take it from someone who has it, in too many cases the people who hire people.

And so we have the most feeble recovery from recession since the great depression, and we have seen the creation of a
permanent underclass. We face increased debt and the weakening of our military among other things.

And here we are going on five years later, another day older and deeper in debt. I have seen the enemy and it ain´t me.

And stripping the alphabet networks/media of their special protections, where they can lie with impunity and sit back and smirk at an individual whose reputation they have destroyed. That should be a hanging offense for the editor as well as the writer/producer and the anchor involved.

we are ´done´ as a free country due to Obamacare.... make no mistake.

Self-destruction. Lincoln saw it. Thank you, #8.

#12, re Obamacare... 30 states cannot afford the mandated exchanges...

When all seems lost, that´s when many... finally ... turn to God... Israel has not obeyed God´s precepts either... And they remain the Apple of His eye...

Good post, #8.

Behind the disguise of "helping people" (=socialism) the Left has been busy, busy, busy for decades undermining any and everything American, planting barely visible seeds of Marxism in every corner of the culture, seeds now grown into a proudly ignorant electorate able to vote for its own suicide via a semi-Muslim, Constitution-loathing president Jim Jones.

But it´s not just an internal sickness. The rest of the world is urging president Jim Jones on, too.

Carter is going to lose his incompetent crown.

#13, #15: thank you both.

As human nature is unchanging, it´s not surprising the great men from the past have things to teach us, such as Lincoln. And note the date -- 1838.

"He who does not have 3,000 years at his fingertips is living hand-to-mouth."
~~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Indeed. Indeed.

And I have said, in this vein, "The only truly educated man is he who would not be otherwise."

Once there were more takers than taxpayers their loyalties were not to America. The young wanted not to pay for their useless College loans. The Africans wanted welfare, FoodStamps and Obamaphones. Women wanted free abortion and Obamacare. Young men wanted acceptance of sexual inversions. Mexicans Amnesty. Middle aged people aspired to permanent disability checks. Baraka Hussein and the Democratic Party brought together a winning coalition.

Obama claims that only 1% of small business owners will be affected by the 3% rate increase.The absurdity of his lies don´t matter to the handout crowd.

The Law is enforced on Main Street.
The Law is ignored on Wall Street.
The Law is non-existent for Washington.

The LawMAKERS are today´s LawBREAKERS.

Term Limits.
Audit the Fed.
Audit Washington.
No more Omnibus Bills
No More Earmarks.
No more Congressional Pensions.
No more Cadillac health care plans.

Anyone who doesn´t is not re-elected.
