Having witnessed and participated in all national elections since 1962, I am familiar with half lies and mud-slinging in politics, but I have never before witnessed such blatant lies, propaganda, and downright fraud as practiced by the Democratic operatives for the election of Obama. It is intensely disturbing that uninformed voters with a strong bent toward free handouts and devoid of a basic understanding of liberty are now in control and will likely remain so in the future.
We think we have free speech and hope to influence others, but our individual speech is but a teaspoon in a vast media ocean fed by rivers of bias. The sad fact is that we live in a world of the “bull networks” where bias and propaganda are obvious and truth is a rare commodity — you know, Complete Bull, National Bull, and Nothing but Bull. We even have our own Propaganda Broadcasting System paid for by us. The grave danger is not that individuals in the media are biased, but that they have a vast, unbridled voice to cast propaganda far beyond our own paltry speech.
Abraham Lincoln said “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” I fear that we have faltered. I worry less about what Obama will do than the harm that will be, and has been, done by the uninformed voting population and politicians who wish to feed at the trough of government.
All of this makes me wonder where the distinct groups who supported Obama will stand in the second American Revolution. The price of liberty is not cheap. I grieve for our children and grandchildren.

But if I take 1,000 people with college degrees and you take 1,000 people without, my group is more likely to posses the qualities you are pining for.
You are letting your convictions overrule your sense of logic and reasoning.
If the Republicans continue to blame the loss of the election on the "takers" then they will gain no ground in the next four years. They need to focus on the much larger group of educated and employed voters who after careful consideration including common sense, wisdom, and informing themselves couldn't bring themselves to vote for Romney.
This statement does not align with the FACT that the most educated states consistently voted for Obama. The least educated states consistently voted for Romney.
Convince yourself it is all the fault of the "takers" if you wish. There were millions of educated and well employed voters that did not drink the Romney kool-aid.
Still blaming takers? Get over it. You lost.
It is always medicare and social security, which under the law, you must contribute to, at the point of a gun, when you are working. That is the falacy of this entire system - when you kill ambition by taking from those who produce and give to those who do nothing but put their hands out, you kill the country. This is where we are now, and it will not stop unless and until the people who provide the income to the govenrment to distribute as they see fit, stand up and refuse to be used any longer.
