I just got back from Europe. I visited several courtries and talked to a number of people in each. I would seem that the rest of the world is waiting for Nov. just like we are in the US. I could not find a single person who had a kind word for the One.

Obama Calls for National Dialogue on Changing the Subject http://optoons.blogspot.com/2010/07/obama-calls-for-national-dialogue-on.html

to see the arrogant purveyors of Progressive Snake-Oil, having overhyped the properties of their product, watching fearfully as their angry victims get out the tar and feathers.
The Left is very adept at salesmanship, and woefully inept at delivering on its grandiose promises. This disconnect is completely understandable, because the egalitarian message of Socialism/Fascism is emotionally appealing to the gullible, but is so disconnected from reality in practice that even the unsophisticated can clearly see the managerial incompetence of the Left.
In a country not dominated by a partisan left-wing media, these progressive flim-flam artists would be discredited for a generation. However, given the current state of ‘American Journalism’, the most despicable members of this criminal gang will probably escape the punishment they so richly deserve, and live to lie again.

There should have been zero faith in government long before Obama.

In God.
Trust yourself

But keep a peeled, hairy eyeball cocked at the Government, with your wallet stowed away.

Trust Respect and Fear.

They sure as hell don’t respect the American Citizenry , though they sure as hell are learning to fear US. Which is how it should be.
In time, respect will come…again.

Just remember to be methodical, calm and observant.
Keep notes and record how the sequence of events plays out.

The Concord Project: Fighting for Freedom in the Fall

I’m reminded of popular television in the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement, esp series such as FBI and Untouchables. The notion was that local cops and government were corrupt, but feds on the other hand were incorruptible. The public was being sensitized to putting the 9th and 10th amendment away in a drawer, leaving the feds as sole arbiters of justice in America. (B-movie Horse operas of the Depression era had similar themes, where a federal marshal had far more cachet than town sheriff.) All this lad the groundwork the the Great Society and its enormous incursion into local and states right.

So what has happened as you describe, Brian, was a long time coming and quite predictable. A serious consideration by the GOP, conservatives, and here on RS as to next steps is in order, since we are at a crossroads where we either return to republican governance (little “r:”) or slip into tyranny. The Big-Government-is-good meme is dead.

I object to calling George Soros’/John Podesta’s far left Center for American Progress “Liberal”. It is akin to saying Rev. Wright’s sermons are slightly outside Pope Clement XVI’s religious views.

But when the polling for such a far left outfit comes up with results like these, it does sort of point up the situation. Let’s hope the reality is even worse than the above numbers.

And I agree with those posters who state that it is disheartening to find it took Dear Leader and the Reid/Pelosi Congress to get people to this point. But better late than never.

That’s wonderful that the people now have learned that more government is not the answer. Now, we have to find out: 1.) whether all the damage can be rolled back. 2.) Whether a government this corrupt can even be “extracted” given the high probability of election fraud.

So, before we start celebrating that the people are now dissatisfied, we have to realize that these political parasites are not going to be “extracted” (like a rotten tooth) easily. They have shown that they do not care one wit about the rule of law or the constitution.

The current administration does nothing to promote confidence. They appear to the rest of the country to be nothing more than a bunch of “Frat Boys” out making decisions based on which way the wind blows. It isn’t going to change as long as the policies that are being but forth are ones that go against the grain of mainstream America. Look around and start making decisions that “Help” the economy and Americans – not Hurt them…..and so far, their policies and decisions are causing a lot of pain in America that is going to be felt for a long time! The polls show the disgust America feels and with this Administrations numbers in the toilet, all “WE” can do is hold out for November and bring the country back to the mainstream – NOT this liberal social change that is being promoted today. That is the way to regain the confidence in America!
