  1. “…then the end of the Roman republic was at hand, and nothing could save it. The laws were the same as they had been, but the people behind the laws had changed, and so the laws counted for nothing.” Theodore Roosevelt, 1911.

    The attitudinal change in the people fifty years ago, the complete collapse of the historical American people’s self-confidence and self-respect under the guise of great moral crusades, was the precursor of the actual demographic changes we have suffered since and are still suffering. “The people” has become the Balkans within one lifetime.The Republic is gone.

  2. I am concerned , but will not be surprised, if we have revolution like the French Revolution, with the reprisal against the political elite ,as they were treated (slaughtered) and what happened to them and the aftermath that followed.

  3. I think certainly the most tragic part of this account is in fact not the villainy of Obama but the apathy of the people on whom the villainy has been committed.

  4. Proudly Unaffiliated

    This is an excellent summary of the Obama administration to date. An interesting question might be — what holds this guy back from doing far worse? Maybe, partly, reality itself but I contend that Obama’s Dems are pleading with him to cool it before this November’s election as they will reap the whirlwind.

    Prediction: after the election, regardless of results, Obama will fully flower for his last 2 years and ALL the chickens will come home to roost. With nothing to lose and no feedback or controlling forces, Obama will do all he really wants to accomplish, establishing his legacy as it were. Buckle up for this part of the ride!

  5. Mr. Popper: Have you visited the Southern border? Perhaps that would give you a picture of the problems you could understand.

  6. Victor,
    One wishes that Obama would study Sergeant S. Prentiss, the most brilliant orator America has ever produced! Where is the secret chart of Obama’s Chickens and Potatoes of “Foreign Policy?” Where has his War on Terror gone? What continues to frustrate me about Obama is that he cannot answer his own question which has loomed large since his election: “If it is not working, what do you do?” The President still does not understand how a successful foreign policy works, the gathering storm and the nature of war requires better strategic planning.

  7. Obama has not served in the best interest of Americans. On the contrary, he has greatly weakened and accelerated the demise of a great society. Nazi’s, Communists and enemy moles would have celebrated to have been as effective.

  8. Consider leaving a handwritten note to the following campers.

    If your children see you leaving your car keys
    at home and taking a taxi to go out to a party,
    they will follow suit. If you allow the same people to control all or any of these elements with no double-checks by other
    staff or alternating tasks, expect theft to occur.
