Thread: We must find a way to make peace between two groups....

Folks, we need to get real. Whether you recognize it or not, we are in a ALL HANDS ON DECK emergency and there is no room for weepy political or personal sentiment! It's that simple. The prognosis is clear if Obama is re-elected. He would become a lame duck with an open path ahead....all destructive. Our ship is listing badly and Obama will put the final torpedo in us if he gets a second chance. Like it or not, the citizens of this country CANNOT afford to put the future of our country in jeopardy by not voting or voting for a third party. Despite our desire for the perfect candidate, this isn't a luxury we can afford. We HAVE to stop the bleeding! Unless I am totally blind, Romney will be nominated as the Republican candidate and any third party candidate will in all likelihood be spoilers taking votes away from Romney. Things are in motion as we all know to begin putting constitutionally qualified and Constitution loving candidates into office at the local, state and national levels. The task ahead will be painful as we rebuild one step at a time. But it MUST be done. We will have plenty of opportunity to exert influence over Romney and his administration. Remember, there will be new Tea Party candidates in office who know they must toe the line. They know that citizens are ANGRY and ULTRA alert to political shenanigans of any kind. Let's get Obama OUT of office (and ideally in prison where he belongs) and hold our new congress and President feet to the bonfire.

I would suggest less time with the prognosis and more time for solutions. Which is again my point. Waiting around for a good president is wasting time and resources and might even be surrendering to a strategy posed by the opposition. The presidency is not all there is to making things work here in the US.

The only thing we can really do is go and vote, kick them all out, starting from the bottom up and hope it all clicks in, especially vote those on the top out... If they really represent you vote them back in,if they follow the constitution, and adhere to the oath of office they take give them another shot you know the drill. Let them all know you will not go along with any of their stupid laws they think they can put on us and give them a fight at every turn on everything they try and do. Heck especially if it goes against our rights and freedoms stop being cattle, sheeple or what ever you call it. Let them know enough is enough. Remember these people work for us not the other way around and we are not their slaves for goodness sake...Everyone needs to wake up.

You need Congress and the President to acknowledge the momentum and we have yet to see any recognition except when we get on the defense on federal amnesty. Then it's a couple of years of silence until another form of amnesty comes along.

Perhaps I have zero creativity or imagination, but exactly can we do without the Presidency, Congress, or Supreme Court? We need the first two in order to pass federal laws and to thus to fuel the momentum.

Both are true. But neither contradict my thinking. Again,

We should plan for a new president assuming they are not going to do anything about it and continue our focus on what we are doing now and will continue to do to drive out illegal immigrants without compromise or surrender. We should not pause anticipating what is going to happen in November. By waiting for these events, like the Supreme Court decision, we can be manipulated to slow down struggles in the states and local communities against illegal immigrants. Instead, the momentum we generate should be great enough to render impotent anything the Obamination hopes to accomplish if he wins a second term and great enough to intimidate Romney into falling into line if he wins a first.

We should be ready for anything and working now without pause or distraction for throwing out illegal immigrants now, not when some ideal setting has been accomplished. Every day, every week, every month we are not laboring to do this is time wasted.

Why do we have to see progress being made at the federal level? We already have the laws. It is more work to undermine the laws then it is to enforce them. They aren't going to make laws decriminalizing illegal immigrants. The best hope they have is amnesty and amnesty is an admission of guilt. We already had an amnesty and it was the super-duper arch-conservative Ronald Reagan that gave it to them. The best they can hope for is to be subversive which does a lot of damage, but none of it permanent.

The integrity of our citizenship is at stake and if you will not stand for that first where you are now, irregardless of who is in the White House, then your vote isn't worth anything anyway.
