Agreed, it has been a miserable 4 years and there are accumulating signals that OBoBo will lose in November. If so, then Churchill`s words will again have meaning, a portion of which stated, “…..(it) is the beginning of the end….”.
In truth, we will have to endure for many years in order to reach “The end.”
I am so thankful for perhaps the most significant “Populist Movement” America has ever seen; The Tea Party! It has millions of patriots who are dedicated to reforming our governments to a representation of The People, by The People and for The People. But I think we have to face a stark truth.
WE weren`t paying attention and that led us to this point!
We have won some tactical battles and November`s defeat of this president will be our first strategic win. However, we have several more strategic battles ahead. The outcome of those could negate all that we have striven for.
We must be prepared and stay prepared in order to reach the objectives we have correctly identified; Limited Government, Fiscal Responsibility, Free Markets and Adherence to The Constitution!
WE. MUST. PAY. ATTENTION! Now and forever; by doing our best to educate the voters, motivate them to vote and insist that they actively make it abundantly clear to our Representives that they are watching…..
Though our tasks are many, in my opinion, we have to completely disassemble our children`s education system. As it is, all our children are NOT being educated to survive and thrive in the 21st century. We can not and must not continue to turn their futures over to the infestation that has infected schooling since the late 60s and early 70s!

I think we are making real progress on that educational reform thing. I know many home schoolers, and high tuition will feed the demand for online higher ed.
The teacher’s union has priced the public schools out of the game.

Sadly I don’t think Rombley will do much about the FedEd / NEA consortium. We’ll have to cut off the tentacles one at a time, so to speak, and that won’t be easy.
It’s not just people defending their ideology (as if that weren’t enough), it’s a big, politically-connected industry.

“
And I see a whole army of my countrymen, here in defiance of tyranny. You’ve come to fight as free (Americans… and free (Americans) you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? It’s all for nothing if you don’t have freedom.”
Are you ready for a war?

Hog (2): that is a fine piece of work.
I’m always an admirer of your work, albite sometimes a horrified one…
…no horror in this case, thought.

Merovign- OF COURSE the battle will be won at the level of school boards, precincts, counties, and ballot initiatives. The elites will just bombast away. (Is bombast a verb? It is-now.)
I pray that November comes soon enough to reverse the horrible things the radical left has done to this great nation.
Perilous times, my friends, perilous times…

Instead of buying the dis count tent for $1.00 you better donate it to the Obama fund.

Colonel Jerry, SIR!
I think you just said it all. I am now going to go out and shoot me a random hippie…
Okay, I’m back. That was fun!
Comment by Hog Whitman — June 24, 2012 @ 8:01 am
^^ Of course, being a professional photographer (does 40-some years count?), I meant “shooting” in purely the figurative, and not the literal sense.
Now how do I get rid of this body? Wood chipper? Quick lime? Big ole’ jet airliner?
Discuss…
