“With all the (taxpayer) money going to ACORN, along with all the POWER being handed to them (see also: 2010 Census), there’s very little hope that the electoral process will survive.”

So what about the 2010 census?

Exactly what power is being given to them to destroy america?

This is off-topic, but I’ve never understood the hate for ACORN. Can any Reds in here enlighten me as to what makes them so evil?

We have the same will to succeed. The fundamental mistake you make is the assumption that we will continually put up with having to move two mountains, to move the one we choose to move. A mountain that exists solely because we see one to move, and decide to move based on our own peaceful goals, is one thing. Having to move a second one placed in our way by people intending to use our lives and resources as tools, who depend on our ability to move the first one for ourselves to move the second one for you, is the issue.

It is nearing time for Atlas, to Shrug. The abuse of individuals and our god given dignity, and right to our own actions, lives, property, and service to our own peaceful goals is about at it’s limit. we are tolerant people, we mountain movers, but you are now over reaching into what we can no longer tolerate.

you burden our descendants with debt for your own current ends, you threaten to interfere and destroy the very systems that keep us alive, such as healthcare, on the basis that beltway pols know better than free men and free markets what we value. I will not allow my three year old to grow up in a nation where this goes on much longer, and I own every right to defend my life, my ideals, my sons, and every one of the fine people who agree with me, such as Jennifer, (attacked on the basis of her sex by one of the ‘caring progressives’) right here on the soil I was born on.

Interfering with the free market *does* destroy America, because the right to create and trade with other peaceful individuals no matter how others with other goals see your trade, is a fundamental human right of creation, not an artifact delivered us by our betters. National Health insurance will commit us to socialized misery and equality in expensive and impersonal political rationing.

We’re not interested in supporting some name called America flying a flag that looks the same over a socialist nation. We are not tied to some appeal to history, or tradition…we are committed to the foundational principles of this nation, the ones that made it unique after the innumerable millennia of nascent socialist depravity…the ideas that all are created equal, endowed by creation with inalienable rights, not by other men.

I still do disagree with you on one thing: I do believe this president is a socialist.

Go USA! I have always been proud of America. I have also lived in other countries so I know what a wonderful place this is.

I will continue to cling to my guns and religion, and refusing to be controlled by the goverment.

“…they will cripple this country severely, particularly the economy, making it far more difficult to make ends meet…”

“…energy prices to skyrocket, jobs to be more scarce, causing opportunity to shrink…”

“We may recover from this idiot but it will take years…”

Seems like a perfect summary of the 2009 effect of the Bush years.

With a President who discards the Constitution when it gets in his way (sidestepping Congress on a treaty because it’s an EMERGENCY? Excuse me???) and empowers groups whose aim is to undermine our liberty and our rights I don’t see any reason to feel optimistic for the future. At BEST our streets will one day in the not-too-distant future like those in Tehran or Tegucigalpa.

I hope you’re right, but I think you’re in for a very rude awakening.

Obama hasn’t killed it, yet, but he’s well on the way.

As for what kind of people we are, we are NOT the same people you describe above. If we were, we would not have elected this fraud. We’re a people, one half of which feels that citizenship is not worth paying any income tax for. We’re a people who became a hyphenated people, without complaint. We’re a people who are more than willing to let someone else make our shit for us, to sell our future for another nine dollar t-shirt, and just leave me alone, thank you. We are a different people and the rest of the world is starting to find out about it. That’s why the Indian Govt., our “ally” in Asia now calls for a new world currency. If they thought the American people were the same as the one you remember, they’d be betting on us in the future.

Obama is just the instrument and we’ve just given him the sacrificial blade.
