"Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness"
-Thucydides
Nobody cares what I think. Thank you, Ozy, for providing this forum.
I am a lifelong hippie liberal who worked for Obama in the last campaign. I would have loved to see Gingrich win the nomination. That's where Freepers and I agree. For all his faults, I have, over the years, heard him say some things that were so smart that I had to tip my hat to him.
If the damn Republicans hadn't made political hay out of Clinton's infidelities, they could have run Gingrich. They sunk their own boat.
2) The onerous Romney wins, fouls up horribly, cements the liberal socialist agenda in Washington, captains the economy as it collapses, guaranteeing that the Democrats will rule for another 50 years, assuming the United States itself does not collapse from its top-heavy, inefficient and totalitarian government.
In both cases, the conservative Supreme Court is lost, America’s status as an economic and military superpower is over, internationalism will cause massive deprivation and suffering, our Bill of Rights will be forgotten and we will be subjected to East Germany quality nanny-statism.
The parts of our economy that could succeed will be suppressed, we will have massive and unpopular social change foisted on us, ignorant and fatalistic pseudo-scientists will finally get a ruinous chance to lord it over us with fantasies like population control and MMGW, and Agenda 21 will try to force all Americans into giant metropolises on the coasts, so that the heartland will be depopulated.
The very young will either be aborted or raised in government controlled stalls like farm animals, and anyone over the age of 60 will be put down as “obsolete”. Death will be king.
Our allies will fall like dominoes before assorted tyrants, and millions of innocent people will be enslaved or die.
Congratulations, Republican leaders. This is what you wanted. This is what you craved. This is what you paid for and forced. And this is why you struggled so hard against the conservatives that wanted to stop this.
You won. America lost. Hopefully America will be remembered as a place that was once great, like Atlantis, a wonderful place full of dynamic people that the oppressed people of the world could have looked at with hope, that they might someday live like that, in freedom and liberty.
And hopefully, people like you will be remembered for ruining it, both directly and in complicity with the forces of evil and despair. That your names be cursed until they are forgotten, and your offspring live as castrated chattel.
You won.

Republicans, get your shit together.
You're right about one thing: no one cares what you think.

This means either:
1) Obama wins. Or,
2) The onerous Romney wins, fouls up horribly, cements the liberal socialist agenda in Washington, captains the economy as it collapses, guaranteeing that the Democrats will rule for another 50 years, assuming the United States itself does not collapse from its top-heavy, inefficient and totalitarian government.
