No, not all.  You should pay attention to the change in the courts that's begun

Yeah, I don't think that particular carrot works anymore... It certainly never has with me.

and the education the American people are getting and embracing from the President on the nature of the media and the enemy within, private education and homeschooling, prolife policies, the value of sovereignty, citizenship, the 2nd Amendment and America First on the world stage.

Nonsense.His blathering is not education. Education is 100% in the hands of the liberal school system, and the Main Stream Media. This is the administration of whining, crying, and throwing dirt in the air. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

So what?  How does this justify not standing with those who want to stop it now?

That is what I am doing... Standing with those who want to stop it now... All y'all are just the SOSDD.

What miracle?

The absolute miracle of the founding of this Republic!  And you knew that already.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

Not so fast!

The real governing isn't done from the Oval Office. That's just where bucks stop.

Real government is the product of countless anonymous bureaucratic functionaries crafting "policy" behind closed doors, promulgating all the little ins and outs of the nuts and bolts of grinding through the parsecs of red tape carefully woven around the rules about getting anything done. for the outsider, it is a Gordian knot of obstructions and fees, always fees, and penalties if you didn't do it 'just so', only 'just so' is something different every time you talk to someone else from that office--inevitable, because the person you last talked to is on maternity leave/transferred/is on vacation/retired/left to take a job with Megacorp because they KNOW all those miserable little rules and can navigate the red tape, or simply 'stepped away from their desk and is unavailable at this time'.

It is this leviathan, this quagmire, this insatiable blob of government at a cellular level which is really Government. Even when the rules are decreed from on high, these are the levels which ultimately decide that that decree does not apply to your situation...Every center of government in Oz was connected, little munchkin, by the yellow brick road. It takes a lot of gold and goldbrickers to maintain.

Better read this open folks because he nailed it!

It is sad that a man's "success" is measured by the thickness of his wallet rather than the number who will genuinely weep at his passing, but then, who decided what success is? Rich people? 

Yet daily, we hear (despite all their means of making such things quiet) how miserable and messed up their lives often are. So, if you wish, keep that scoreboard.

I'll take the small rowboat I first gave a girlfriend a ride in over a yacht that has parking problems.

I prefer an older vehicle I know well and don't slavishly fret over like someone who spends a fortune for the newest, latest, most exotic. Mine may not go fastest, but I'd bet I'll beat them off the light at least 8 times out of ten, and still get around when it snows.

My house is humble. It doesn't take an army to clean and maintain, and is not the stuff of awe, but within these walls infused with laughter are memories of Christmas' Past, of elders and children loved, of triumph and disaster, of prayers to Almighty God over every meal. It is home.

My day to day attire, too, is humble, for I find beauty in function and durability. I'll not balk at helping a friend over fretting about 'ruining' a suit or tie or fancy shoes, because me wearing those is a rare event indeed.

I know what it is with these arms to hold a brand new life, and to say goodbye to one. I have beheld tremendous joy, and abysmal woe, all for reasons which made the pecuniary scoreboard irrelevant. I have, as an adult, played in the creek, as a child would, with no need of fancy gadgets, just things found at hand, and been happy.

I have been to enough places to learn to find beauty almost anywhere I go, from desolate wastes, to verdant gardens, to marvel at the great constructs of man, yet be at home with the most humble of them. I have held the bones of those before me, and seen the promise of some who follow, swam in waters, fresh and salt, breathed air below the level of the sea and from mountaintops where it is thin, and marveled at the wonder (and sometimes fury) of God's creations.

In all this I find greater love, not for the art, but the Artist, as I, another of His creations, am at play in a wondrous universe of His devising.
 
And while I appreciate all humans' efforts to rival or copy such, will never know the wonder at a tall building that I do at a mountain, never the awe of crafted pools I have felt canoeing in a salt marsh at sunset, nor sound such a marvel as a beating heart.

 I don't care how they keep score. I am rich indeed.

Brilliant. I could not possibly agree more.

All it needs is theme music.

No.

We're saying until you demand more from your party nothing is going to change.

You've limited yourself to the false choice of one or the other.

By them knowing you will vote for them no matter what they do they are empowered to do whatever they please as long as it isn't worse than what the other side is doing. So no matter who is elected things only get worse sliding further and further to the left.

When they actually have to earn your vote and do what they said they were going to do will things have a chance at changing for the better.

But right now they own you.

OK.

I'm demanding more from my party.

Now what?

Let's call a spade a spade, shall we?    They're not socialists.  They are die-hard commies and all prior pretense is out the door (or out of the closet).   And once commies get full power over people, they never relinquish it (See: China, Cuba, N. Korea, etc.).

See California. The state's rat party, a supermajority now, is STILL passing legislation to guarantee they never lose this power. Republicans are kept around only for the veneer of legitimacy and I suspect can be disposed of at any time.

This is the model the rats are using for the nation.

 :thumbsup:

Excellent counter argument to the pie-in-the-sky reasoning from folks who should know better.

Less than three months before the election, two choices for president, no super conservative savior waiting in the wings, Marxism on the march, and some folks are saying sit out this contest.

Exactly.   And you can tell by looking around at what's happening in the rest of the nation (ie which areas are allowing the radical violent left to run amuck) which states are the next to fall to that same leftism.  The left is emboldened and at the same time desperate, quite a dichotomy, because of Trump.   It took him to force them out of that closet.   Now it's up to the voters.... the silent majority in America.   We will either have four more years to try to fix what's wrong....

or we won't and it will be lost and over.

If you are voting for the lesser evil instead of the candidates that shares your principles then you are not demanding more. They own your vote no matter what they do.

If otherwise we need more of you to actually change things. There needs to be enough people that will withhold their vote to force actual change. Herding people in fear is all the GOP has had for quite some time now. They've done virtually none of the things they said they were going to do when in power. It is always the fear of the other side is worse. That is a losing strategy as well evidenced over several decades.

Yeah... uh... no.   I saw this same kind of bullshit right before the 2008 election and look what it got us/America.  Eight friggin years of an Obamanation that is still ongoing from the sidelines (Thanks, Soros!).

Withholding your vote in this election will get us even worse than Obama.... if worse is even possible.

To that I say not just no....but...

HELL NO!!!

California is lost. You nor I can fix it. I moved out so I don't have to directly pay the consequences. Let them have what they voted for. They earned it. When tech has its downturn, and it will, California is going to have major economic problems.

So... I have to ask.... when you were in California.... did you withhold YOUR vote?

The left's fondest wet dream (or one of them)... is to somehow get righties to "withhold their votes".  Just....

sayin!

I am. No one was more p*ssed off at Schwarzeneggar than I was when he jumped into the governors race and deprived this state of its last best hope for a turn around. I supported Fred Thompson in 2008 because he was the best alternative. I've ALWAYS supported the most conservative candidate.

And after the primaries that applies to the general election as well. I will not sit on my ass when one candidate more closely tracks my values than the other, regardless of whether that candidate matches my values to the letter.
