I am immovable, like General Jacksons Virginians at First Manassas: a veritable stone wall.
As thick as one too, apparently. Too many of your posts make little sense at all.
I'm gonna suggest that the fact that you don't find the sense in the posts is an indictment of you, rather than of the posts.

Your posts are all over the place with very little connection to anything most would recognize as reality.
Lucky pc, to have a stalker as dedicated as NYC.
Arrogant AND dumb as a brick. I mean brainwashed(?).
You would get farther by extolling the virtues of not being myopic and seeing that both sides are guilty of plutocracy.
All great nations commit suicide. This is ours. We are following the same path as all great nations that have collapsed into barbarism or subjugation by a stronger nation.
You know, I keep saying this in other threads, and I'll say it here now:
You are all over reacting. All of you.
Step back for a moment and look at the election as a whole. The incumbents for the most part won in nearly all the national offices. There were exceptions and random senators and congressmen unseated, but for the most part the larger picture was, incumbents win. Which they statistically do.
You all are freaking out about Obama winning, but keep in mind, the GOP held the House and most of the Democratic gains in the Senate had more to do with unvetted idiots being idiots and losing elections.
So the country absolutely did not give either party a ringing endorsement of their policy or dogmas, it simply re-elected gridlock.
If there's a larger lesson for the DNC to learn, it's a question of why their candidates seem to do well in larger scale elections (Senate and President) but fall apart on the more local level (House).
For the GOP, the lesson is how do you take what's working on the local level (House races), and make it work at the national level. Especially, how do you sell a Southern Conservative world view to a place like Massachusetts where one of the few incumbent GOP Senators lost.
For the American People, I think the larger lesson is how do we bridge the extremes in politics to get actual stuff done. The People clearly don't trust either party enough to trust them with control of Washington. Following 2000-2006 (GOP years) and 2008-2010 (DNC years) I can't say I'd trust either party either. So what happens next?
The biggest challenge facing out nation isn't the apocalyptic scenarios you all laid out. It's how we find compromise and what does that even look like now?

"You are all over reacting. All of you."
In Katherine Anne Porter's "Ship of Fools," the Jewish passenger voices a sentiment akin to yours: "What are they (the Nazis) going to do....kill all of us?"
You're not a stupid person, Trav....I suggest you look at post #51, and, if you have the time, pick up a copy of John Fonte's "Sovereignty or Submission."
The hand-writing is on the wall.
It's past time to over-react.
1. Ann Applebaum of the Washington Post, has just written a book, Iron Curtain: The Crushing of Eastern Europe. Said crushing was based both on both the extreme violence of war, and the slow, ineluctable penetration of government into every aspect of the peoples existence. This is called totalitarian government.
a. From one review of the book: some scholars were sure that Communism had its bad points, but capitalism and its ideology represented by America were worse.
2. Some scholars. What will scholars say about Americans who gave in to the same without even being under the gun, the violence of war? Lack of interest? Lack of focus? Lack of knowledge of history and of human nature? Or did the people who once were famed for their Can Do attitude simply get tired of personal responsibility and pride?
3. Let me give credit to the Alinsky designs, the vicious personal attacks, the lies that were supported by the media, the class warfare. A respectable, religious man, successful in business, who has demonstrated an ability to govern, attacked and sullied by a socialist raised by communists, steeped in 20 years in a Marxist church, a failure in economic policy as well as foreign policy .yet he proved that the more despicable the campaign, the more successful
a. Barack Obamas aides and advisers are preparing to center the presidents reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romneys character and business background, unabashedly negative
Obama plan: Destroy Romney - Ben Smith and Jonathan Martin - POLITICO.com
4. And, lets give credit as well, to a progressive philosophy which promises all things to all people its charm predicted by Tocqueville, and its danger explained by Sowell:
a. Alexis de Tocqueville, writing Democracy in America in the 1830s, described an immense, tutelary power, which takes sole charge of assuring their enjoyment and of watching over their fate. As he predicted, this power is absolute, attentive to detail, regular, provident, and gentle, and it works willingly for their happiness, but it wishes to be the only agent and the sole arbiter of that happiness. It provides for their security, foresees and supplies their needs, guides them in their principal affairs, directs their industry, regulates their testaments, divides their inheritances. It is entirely proper to ask, as he asked, whether it can relieve them entirely of the trouble of thinking and of the effort associated with living.
b. Sowell takes the key political issues and challenges the reader to analyze not only their short term (Stage One) political impact but to also think ahead to their long term (Stage Two, Three, etc) economic impact. He reminds the reader that politicians do not think beyond Stage One because they will be praised (and elected) for the short term benefits but will not be held accountable much later when the long term consequences appear. From a review of Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One, Thomas Sowell
5. So, through ignorance, or ineptitude, or avarice, half of the population has sold out the glory of what America was, submission rather than sovereignty. We are living through the fall of the Roman Empire, the crushing of Eastern Europe, the supremacy of the collective.

Not with a bang but a whimper.
T.S. Eliot.
Such effort. With such schizophrenic results.
I wonder if you will gracefully accept real, sincere advice?
Try to write like a normal person so we can better digest what you are trying to say. While unique, your style is not working for you.
Its not working for anyone.
Particularly when one realizes out of context is not a style.

So Timothy McVeigh wasn't evil, he was just a bit ahead of his time.
aw the butthurt
Sarah Palin called it when she said Romney needs to personalize the campaign against Obama. She said it in 08, was ignored, we lost. She said it again in 12 was ignored and we lost again
