Keep in mind that it is not only the Obama Admin that we would be taking on, but also all those that supported and all but worship the man.

We, the non-Obama voters, tried the "alter" part on Nov. 6. It didn't turn out so well. As to attempt the "abolish" part? Is not that *precisely* what Obama intends to see happen? Has that not been his goal all along to pit citizens against each other?

Nothing would please him more than to see total chaos take place with Americans killing each other in the streets.

I shudder to think how he would then go about handling the situation.

Voting no longer matters. The fix is in and nobody is complaining. Romney's not complaining, the repubs aren't complining and the media, well, they're estatic.

Communism is here and Bronco will be turning up the heat starting with the new year. What remains to be seen is will there be enough people resisting to make a difference. It's not looking good............

On second thought ... scratch my last post.

Dec. 12 is coming next week and it will be all over for us anyway.
(tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek!)

Only problem is, the 12th. is two days after my Dr. appointment on the 10th.

Don't think I'll bother going for a check on my high cholesterol, who cares what it is at this point?

None of this would be possible w/o the support of the MSNews Media. NONE of it. If they ever decided to ask him serious questions or to expose his past, his appointments, his gaffs, his record, his narcissism, his college records or a whole host of things ... it would be over faster than you can say fast and furious.

The media made him 'a god'. They protect the little wannabe tin pot dictator. They got him elected and re-selected.

And who represents us? The Democrat Party 2.0 (aka republican party)?

American Pravda seems to hold the reins now.

Actually, it was. The author of the piece got it wrong; Taggart did give up. Eddie Willers did not. That is why she ended up in that commune for megalomaniacs and Eddie ended up in the desert.

I never read any of Ayn Rand's books. From the character descriptions, I'm more of a Dagny.

My grandpa was a bit of a John Galt, though. He was an inventor of useful things, some of which he owned the patent to and some of which Ford Motors owns the patents to. He also was a staunch atheist, like Rand was.

Oh AD ...

I still have my yellow paged 1985 copy of Rand's 1957 book. Have you actually read all 1084 pages of it? (in my copy, anyway!

If you have, and weren't such a lefty ... you would realize that Dagny did *not* give up ... she was finally convinced to not let the "takers" win over all her hard work at keeping the railroad running against all odds and roadblocks set up to stop her by the socialist folks in charge.

She chose to be "her own woman" even 'though it initially was by accident, when her plane crashed in pursuit of ... Hell's bells ... I forget his name at the moment ... and Mr. ABC is home from golf and is coming up the drive!

Gotta run!
