This may spell the death of the GOP as we know it. For years, we have allowed the neoconservative movement run things, and frankly, people were fed up. Since most of the left believes Bush is representative of true conservatism, they swung more socialist by electing the most liberal senator.
Congratulations, GOP, you may finally be on your way back to your libertarian roots. It will take years of infighting and grassroots movements, but I hope and pray this spells the death of the neocon super power.
Am I worried about our president elect? No, not really. Sure, the man is for breaking the necks of newborn babies, but he will have to contend with God with his decisions. I pray the man starts reading some non-socialist literature, embraces Austrian Economics, and shrinks the fed. Fat chance. Maybe after four years of an Obama presidency, Americans will tire of the liberal wings of the Republican and Democrat parties.
You see, we had our chance. Ron Paul. Here was a man of sound economic and diplomatic principals. A man who warned us about Fannie and Freddie and the implications of government sponsored enterprises. Unfortunately, the media stifled him, and the neoconservative establishment ridiculed him.
Fortunately, he’s not done. Just go to http://campaignforliberty.com/ and sign up. Start to bring real change to this country.

The most encouraging thing is tghat Ron Paul’s message reached millions of young people. His strongest core of followers were college kids who had never been exposed to basic Constitutional principles in the public school system. Paul’s passion for liberty was very attractive to people after 5 decades on increased socialism and diminished rights. Plus alot of adults have received quite an education from the writings of Paul and sites such as voxpopuli. But most people are still in the dark but at least the situation is not completely hopeless.
As more people clue into the reality that there is no real difference between the candidates, both Obama and Mcain are whores for goldman sachs, there will be more openess to the Liberty movement. There has been somewhat of a realignment with the Paul people coming together with liberty minded liberals like Naomi Wolf, Libertarians, and Constitutionalists conservatives. From what I’ve read on the Dailypaul there are million people who’ve signed on.
Obama will increase the totalitarianism, and the deepening depression will make the mood ugly and dangerous. And as the working and middle classes are asked to pay for the lifestyles of the rich I would not be surprised to see some kind of a tax revolt or even some armed resistance to gov’t. forces: And when the 5trillion $ bailout goes into circualtion and the hyperinflation hits, the rich and those who voted for the bailout better have good security. Just the way I see it.
The 2 major parties are no better than the Mafia in my view.

I hope you’re right, Dan. We are in for some…interesting times.
BTW, unlike some, I could care less that Barack is half black, half white. While it is nice that America may finally be turning a page on racism (white America, that is), we have a number of dummies who voted for him BECAUSE he’s black.

I just listened to Ron Paul on Alex Jones. The future looks grim. Northcom is apparently in the States ready to deal with any servile rebellion–but they are only 6,000 troops. They can’t occupy the whole country. And many citizens have weapons.
MJB, I am not optimistic about the future at all but I also see more people waking up to what is happening. Whatever happens Jesus is still King.
Psalm 2:1-12
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
