“When will voters begin that long countermarch through the institutions in order to take back the country?”

That’s the question, alright. I am afraid that the answer is, when a nuclear bomb has exploded in New York Harbor. When Michigan is declared a Wilderness Area. When our health care system has sunk to the level of Cuba’s. When tens of thousands of Americans are imprisoned for thought crimes. When our economy has been systematically looted to destruction. When our military power has been so eroded that we can no longer defend our allies or our national interests. When most of Western Civilization has been subjugated to Islam. When the USA has come to resemble the USSR. In short, when it is way too late.

The sad reality is that most of the soft-headed do-gooders who voted for President Hope still think they made the right choice. These useless, prattling clowns are our fellow citizens, and there’s no getting around it. Adam Smith said, “there’s a power of ruin in a nation”, and I’m afraid we’re going to see the proof.
