| Well, now that it's over - and it is, OVER - I might as well add to the requiem vault. I made this list Monday evening before the last vestiges of the Constitution were steam-rolled by Zombies, and the lamp of Liberty grew dim. Many good-hearted patriots are bucking-up, dusting off their Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine quotes, but the fact is, ObamaCare - a colossal, debt-driven nightmare - will, indeed, transform America (as per Obama's wish), and the radical quislings for whom he is sovereign will press forward on many fronts.

-Religious liberty and the Constitutional protection of moral conscience;
I STILL HAVE IT!
-Abundant, affordable energy--the key to economic prosperity and growth;
ITS STILL HERE WAITING TO BE HARVESTED!
-An American military capable of protecting our national interests and projecting power, when and where necessary, around the globe;
YES IT IS BEING DIMINISHED BUT ITS TIME WE STOP BEING THE WORLD POLICEMAN!
-Affordable, accessible, and innovative health care based, increasingly, on transparent pricing, choice and competition;
IT WILL STILL HAPPEN!
-A federal budget that averts Fiscal Calamity the result of massive debt;
THE CHORUS OF RAGE CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER!
-Education policies that prioritize parental wishes and that which is best, in respective states, for each child;
THE NUMBER OF CHARTER SCHOOLS CONTINUE TO INCREASE!
-Tax rates that encourage individual initiative and entrepreneurial risk, as opposed to crushing, punitive taxes that stymie opportunity and discourage endeavor;
WRONG DIRECTION NOW, BUT WATCH FOR A BACKLASH!
-Courts - including the Supreme Court - ideologically oriented toward upholding the Bill of Rights;
WAIT FOR THE BACKLASH!
-An immigration policy that values LEGAL citizenship and creates disincentives to hire aliens who take Americans' jobs;
WRONG HERE. THE LATINO POPULATION DON’T WANT ILLEGAL STATUS. THEY WANT LEGAL STATUS. ITS BORDER PATROL THAT NEEDS FIXING.
-The sanctity of Human Life as a national priority;
THE MEDIA TELLS US THAT IT IS NOT IMPORTANT BUT THEY LIE!
-The sanctity of Marriage as a heterosexual institution;
ITS STILL THE SAME ONLY WE NEED TO GET OFF OUR HIGH HORSE AND LET PEOPLE LIVE THEIR OWN LIVES!
-The sanctity of religious expression as a bulwark of American Life.
PEOPLE OF FAITH NEED TO TAKE A STAND FOR THEIR RIGHTS! BE PREPARED TO BE PERSECUTED!
STOP WITH THIS PITY PARTY AND FIGHT FOR YOUR PRINCIPALS!

It is the adoption of the Monroe Doctrine that is one of the cornerstones of America's make-up. Our defense of freedom and liberty is what made us that "Shining city on a hill".
To desist, we only provide the liberal fascist dictators the world over an excuse to allow their evil to flourish.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
America CANNOT do nothing. It is who we ARE!

Comment #1 is nutty. Obama cannot be "resisted." The media will crucify any politician who tries. Furthermore, the media will call anything Obama does as a success, a great leap forward. Winning in public will now be out of the question.
However, winning in private is still possible. Order your own life. Take care of your own. Stay out of the public eye. Defend yourself. And keep your sense of humor.
That's how people in the Soviet Union survived. And throughout Easter Europe. If you have relatives who lived under that system, talk with them. They will have many good tips that will be of great practical help.
Just remember, keep your head down.
Way down...

I think we lost free and open elections.
obama figured out a way to game many of the voting machines (software within) or just the voting collation process. No way this was a low turnout election. Millions of republican votes were discarded.

Keep telling yourself that you'll have accessible healthcare while the death panel decides whether your elderly parent or your handicapped child need to have lifesaving care. The extra costs might bankrupt the system, doncha know? Keep expecting that you'll get choice and competition in your healthcare. Yup, that always happens with a single-payor system.
What's coming is slow, surly, incompetent and then practically nonexistent hospital and outpatient care. I hope you come from healthy stock or have money to get healthcare someplace offshore.

#3.
Being strategic in our thinking is far from doing nothing!..smart not big ...partnering with freedom fighters not dictators.
Let the world experience THEIR inaction not ours.
The UN is pathetic and needs to bear the responsibility of world consequences, not America.
We need to kick them out of NYC!
Your suggestion is to partner with others who do not value our freedoms the way our Founding Fathers did.
Wasted time.
Wasted lives.
Amreica's price of commitment must be earned not expected!

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Women will have the chance to join the Navy SEALS, Army Rangers and other specialized combat outfits beginning in 2016 under plans approved Tuesday by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Female candidates will also be able to join front-line Army and Marine Corps infantry units as part of the department’s decision. “The days of the ‘Rambo’ are over,” Maj. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, head of force development for Special Operations Command, said Tuesday during a briefing announcing the changes. Tuesday’s announcement builds on former Pentagon chief Leon Panetta’s decision in January to end the military’s long-standing ban

Michael Hastings, a contributor to Rolling Stone and BuzzFeed, died on Tuesday morning in a car crash in Los Angeles at the unforgivably young age of 33.He is best known, rightly, for his 2010 Rolling Stone profile of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who as commander of the U.S.-led force in Afghanistan was the face of the war that Hastings saw as misguided and poorly managed. His profile, “The Runaway General,” portrayed McChrystal as a loose cannon so sure of himself and his strategy for the war that he and his staff openly derided their civilian overseers,

Senators on Tuesday rejected building the 700 miles of double-tier border fencing Congress authorized just seven years ago, with a majority of the Senate saying they didn’t want to delay granting illegal immigrants legal status while the fence was being built. The 54-39 vote to reject the fence shows the core of the immigration deal is holding. The vote broke mostly along party lines, though five Republicans, including Sen. Marco Rubio and the rest of the bill’s authors, voted against the fence, and two Democrats voted for it. Republicans had offered the fence as a way to

[Video] Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory (R-Opelousas) explains why he recently switched from the Democrat Party to the Republican Party. He discusses the history of the Republican Party, founded as an Abolitionist Movement in 1854. Guillory talks about how the welfare state is only a mechanism for politicians to control the black community. Hello, my name is Elbert Lee Guillory, and I’m the senator for the twenty-fourth district right here in beautiful Louisiana. Recently I made what many are referring to as a ‘bold decision’ to switch my party affiliation to the Republican Party.

Tough global rules to stop mega-rich firms and individuals from dodging tax were unveiled at the G8 summit today. David Cameron demanded the world’s most powerful countries act to stop countries shifting profits to low-cost tax havens instead of paying they dues where there are earned. The Lough Erne Declaration - signed by the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - vows to ´fight the scourge of tax evasion´ by ensuring automatic exchange of tax information and changing the rules to stop multinational companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying their fair share.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
