No, real Americans are trying to change the down fall of our country. We are waiting patiently for the brain washed to think for themselves, and eventually they will, or their children will do it for them.

MSM is no longer going to be able to sweep the truth under the rug for multi millionaire politicians and special interest scum.

Our best days are coming, it will take a while, but we will be just fine.

Our best days ended when we started shipping all our jobs overseas.

We may someday have good days again, but it will come after the 2nd American revolution/civil war.

Pick any oppressive regime throughout history and they all had to have a Tea Party like movement behind them to stay in power. With all the weapons in this country, it is bound to get bloody before it gets better. In the end, the oppressors will lose.

Merle Haggard was correct. He was just slightly off on who he was singing about at the time.

That's ok, he didn't know any better.

Go Merle. Take us back to 91% tax on the wealthy. Take us back to the new deal!

I voted no, because I'm holding out hope that the future generations will recognize the need for our country emerging as world leader as we once were.

We have smart Americans, but none of them do not want to engage in the political rhetoric that exists in Washington today.

Keep waiting! For years I've been waiting for the Mississippi River to flow backwards. I'm still waiting.

Our best days are ahead. The power of a free people has exercised an amazing influence on the history and development of the country so far, and freedom will be on the increase in the years ahead. The Obama regime is likely to be the highwater mark of statism and bureaucratic infringement for a generation; the pendulum will swing the other way.
