Mongoose @66, I do not know why so many people on the right seem to be afraid to say what is true. Like you, I don’t totally get it either. Lack of awareness combined with a stubborn I-don’t-want-any-trouble cast of mind? That’s my best guess. Personally, I think Subotai’s acronym, TWANLOC (those who are no longer our countrymen), is dead on. Historically, one’s countrymen was based on blood or tribe. America was different. To be American was to subscribe to the idea of America, regardless of blood or tribe. Obama, and the rest of the wrecking crew, mean to fundamentally transform America. They said as much. Did we not hear? Pre-election, it was common knowledge – common knowledge! – that Obama was the most far-left legislator in Washington. The majority voted for him anyway. Now here we are, at the beginning of the process of transformation into something we’ve never as a nation been before (FDR, LBJ, etc. were pikers compared to today’s leftists) and the right still can’t seem to get it together. TWANLOC rolls on, partly enabled by those on the right whose biggest fear laughably seems to be partisanship. It’s the same phenomenon we saw post 911 when Bush announced that Islam was a religion of peace. Now, thanks at least partly to that idiotic admonition, we have a President and C-in-C who has stated, should it come down to the nitty-gritty, that he will side with the Muslims. Many, today, for whatever reason, are simply unable to recognize the truth, or if they do, to say so. It is enough to make one wonder if we are not the ones the End of the Ages has been waiting for – to be the recipients of The Strong Delusion.

Whether they are Democrat or Republican, politicians have now become a permanent class in the capital, existing along with a giant bureaucracy, operating the government for their own sake. Unless that is changed, they will simply continue to increasing until they bankrupt the country.
"Fun read and a great first effort. The characters have distinct personalities, the action is gripping and there's a sense of realism without becoming overly technical. It's a story that you think may have actually happened in the real world. On the downside, the start is a little stilted and the author doesn't hit his pace until about 30 pages in but this is a quibble. Make it that far and you'll be in for a treat. ." -- by Jim (Virginia)
