1. From the America Thinker: I Am Now a Dissident (and You Should Be, Too!):

   We live in a nation where the constitutionally respectful are becoming increasingly outnumbered by those who neither understand the underpinnings of our founding nor recognize the benefits that flow from those foundational values.

   In place of legitimate constitutional scholarship in our educational system, we see a systematic and unrelenting effort to overturn the original concepts of our Constitution in favor of some “living” replacement — an “updated” document made for a diverse and evolving population, or so we are told.

   Those who hold offices created by the Constitution itself are the very people using the power of those offices to usurp constitutional authority and undermine its place in American law.

   After Obama utilized his entire first term to levy insult after insult against the rule of law in our nation, we conservatives appealed to our fellow citizens to vote with us to halt his lawlessness. We discovered to our eternal dismay that we — not they — are the minority.

   • Hey, thanks for pointing us all to that article on American thinker snopercod!   They don’t teach the Constitution, and they don’t teach you about finance either in high school.   And yet, John McCain does nothing. (John is taking over from the U.N….he’s just about as worthless.)

2. “I know life is not fair, and that’s part of life….nevertheless, I am having a very hard time living and watching my country die, and feeling powerless to do anything at all to change it. I know that there have been tougher times in history, but I don’t think there’s a single person in America that expected this…horror that we are witnessing every day. Some of us are very aware of what’s going on, some of us aren’t.Statue of Liberty

   Oh…to be ignorant. Even through the World Wars, there was always hope, that America was your home and America would always be safe. But up is down, and black is white now, and never, ever, before in history has the average patriotic American been considered enemy of the state. We have a President who actually doesn’t even like half of us.

   Even the war between the North and South, both sides considered themselves patriotic.

   I’m just getting too cynical and old. Yes…I feel old tonight. Are there other souls out there that feel the same? Its as if I am talking to myself day in and day out. It’s a sort of madness…this blogging.”

   Well spoken. There are plenty of Americans who feel the same sense of foreboding and helplessness. I imagine this is exactly how many Germans felt in the 1930s while watching the thugs take over.

3. Joyanna –

   Yes, there are indeed other souls out here who feel as you do. We mourn for the America in which our leadership stood a cut above the rest of us – men and women we hoped to be able to emulate because of their integrity, courage, character and liberty-centered vision of the future.

   During our short history, no matter the turmoil that faced us, we always knew that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel, that there was a justice system that could be relied upon to see to it that truth prevailed, and that there was close to a majority, if not a solid one, in Washington that had the best interests of the American citizen at the heart of their actions and policies. And, whether the turmoil’s source was domestic or foreign, once the dust cleared, America would pick herself up, dust herself off, and begin the task of setting things right again.

   The fact that that is no longer the case leaves us very little to embrace and build our hopes for the future on. We have a president whose allegiances are to other entities than the U.S. Constitution, who is purposefully destroying the American economy, purposefully making America increasingly dependent on foreign energy, purposefully pitting one segment of society against another, purposefully allowing (even encouraging) illegal immigration with a twofold motive: to accelerate our economic decline, and to ensure the leftists’ stranglehold on leadership positions in D.C. He is legislating through edict. He is destroying our longstanding alliances, while at the same time forging ‘alliances’ with our ideological enemies and incrementally rendering the American military impotent, while replacing with nothing more than yes-men those in decision-making positions. And he is intent on dismantling the most moral, advanced, compassionate healthcare system in the history of mankind and replacing it with a heartless, incompetent, monolithic bureaucracy.

   What is most horrifying about this historically unprecedented nightmare is that the majority of our countrymen have not taken to heart our Founders’ repeated warnings. We are no longer a society that values liberty over comfort, or vigilance over affluence. And not until the repercussions of this president’s agenda are so painful as to be noticed by everyone on the planet will the majority of the American citizenry awaken from its apathetic stupor. By then, their hands will be tied and the boot print on their necks will be indelible and immovable.
