Perhaps Mr. Lowry would like to surmise how close we are to (formal) dictatorship.

Shouldn't you be setting up a doctor's appointment? :laugh:

There it is! Ahhh dictatorship.

Yes, bow down to the mighty Obama!
What a crock.

You guys get pretty jumpy, as if you're protecting something you'd rather not.


Relax, these are historical perspectives, maybe the country really is moving in the direction that history says it will move, and maybe this regime is accelerating that move. Keeping your head in the sand will not serve you well, personally, as we head down this path.

Exactly!! Obama passed PRO gun bills and DID NOT I repeat DID NOT harm guns yet the idiots still think he is anti-gun. When will they learn? I'm not sure. They BLEW this election over religious nonsense like staying out of women's vagina's Maybe next election they will learn?????????? Again for the conservatives Obama was terrible, awful yet he beat the GOP's candidate.

Best message for the GOP learn to be favorable towards the middle class without the relgious nonsense. Talk dollars and sense for once. Kill NAFTA immediately stop sending our jobs overseas make tariffs a reality. Stop with the stupid immigration policies. The GOP has failed and failed miserably not being able to beat Obama.

lol, jumpy, hardly. just reading the ravings of the members of a diminishing portion of population. Watch them go so far as reject the principles of representative democracy because they lost two elections to our African American President.
