No Point Complaining About Obama if We Don't Elect a Republican Congress

[jordan179]

There is no point complaining about Obama and his Administration unless we are going to elect a Republican Congress this year.

It's obvious by now that not only does Obama not take the hint that he is overstepping his Constitutional authority, but that he actually revels in doing so, because he sees the Constitutional limits on his office as a

If Obama doesn't get challenged, it will tear this country apart. I already see signs everywhere of people being angry enough to start a civil war, or at least try to vote to break away from the major cities.

The part I find interesting is that there are many, many people who are not starting civil war, not talking about breaking away from major cities... in fact, many of them probably live in major cities... but they are simply starting to *ignore* the various edicts

"It may be that Obama and his favored liberals will be rejected by the American people by simple, non-violent refusal to comply."

One can hope, I certainly do! However, I do fear Kharmii is right about the level of anger in places. I fear that if things don't start getting better soon, say within a decade to 15 years, we may see some states make serious attempts to secede. I expect Texas will lead the way on that since they've made so much noise about it. Should that happen I don't doubt it will be long before my state, Oklahoma, attempts to join them.

The apathy of Americans towards following the rules, towing the line and maintaining the status quo makes me happy. I recently heard the argument that if deporting illegal immigrants can't happen because there are just too many to track down, process and prosecute, what happens when enough of us stand up and just say no to *pick an issue*?

I'm really trying not to give up hope on the political process, but both sides seem to just grow government. Admittedly different pet programs and public interests, but at this point does it really matter which agency is getting a budget increase? One side pays lip service to that group, the other to its opposition, both offer the solution of expanding government to fix the problem.

It's a bad thing, though. Once we learn indifference to the law, we will not selectively apply it only to bad laws. Just because it's not worse than alternative doesn't mean it's not bad.

said that only a small fraction of people required to sign up through Obamacare have actually done so.

I have refused, on principle.
