For example, many black/negros voted Obama because he has the same color skin as themselves.

There are some voters that just simply voted a name with "D" next to it, regardless how s/he did in the past. Same thing with the Republicans.

Many Republicans simply voted a candidate that promised to protect Israel at all costs; regardless if we have to bankrupt ourselves and sending our men to die for Israel.

I am more pissed off at the media and many Americans. They clearly saw that MSMs were pushing Ron Paul out of the media even he has a really good points to bring America back on the course. Republicans pushed him off because he didn't promised to protect Israel at all costs. That is why we had Romney, and Obama took advantage of that and walked away with a sweet victory. Many republicans used the "lesser of two evils" mentality and that brought us Democrats Presidents in many elections. They seems have a short term memories.

I don't really think America will last long; it is a matter of when we will see a Second Civil War. I will protect my gun right and they have to take my life first in order to take my gun. I will not comply to the Liberal's wish to impose a really high tax on my income to support their food stamp, medicare, SS, and few entitlements.

Okay, so you're mad that you didn't get your way so now you want to burn everything down.

It was definitely the Israel lobby that sank Ron Paul's candidacy.

Not the fact that nobody seemed to want to vote for him.

No sirree.

It is because the MSMs told the American that Ron Paul is "UNELECTABLE" and he is a loon loon; and the Americans brought that story. Sad.

It was nothing of the sort. A report saying that Ron Paul would not fare well in a general election is telling the truth - he barely had any support in his own party!

It's comforting to think that it's all the media's fault. But that's a delusion.

Not exactly. Do you think I am only one that is upset with where the America is going into? Do you think I would stick my head into sand and say that the America is going to be thriving? I see a huge problem in America and majority of Americans doesn't see like that. The majority of Americans' attitude is like this: "gimme gimme gimme" and they don't want to work or to be productive for America. We are falling into the Euro's style.

Do you think our founding fathers would be pleased to see something like what we are doing today? We are way outside of the US Constitutional's scope.

Our entitlements and DoD is taxing the America out of their pockets. We gotta to downsize our Gov't or we will never see our America's flag flagging again.

Nice fallacy. Everyone that doesn't agree with you is both a taker and an ostrich. And the spectre of those filthy, godless Europeans on top of that. No, you are not the only one that is upset with America and wants to take up arms against the government. However, you are certainly a minority, and a tiny one at that. Those people have existed since the country was founded; they were here in 1813, they are here in 2013, they will be here in 2213. Just because you are worked up doesn't mean it's the end of days.

Do you think our founding fathers would be pleased to see something like what we are doing today? We are way outside of the US Constitutional's scope.

I don't know what our founding fathers would say. Are you so sure that you do?

Again with the whole do what I say or America gets it line. So much drama.

This gentleman (like it or not) represents the voices of many in our country. He is not alone ... conflict could very well break out.

First among the tax payers insisting that the taxes they pay be portioned out to their individual concerns and then as they grow in numbers ... ???

Can't you guess the rest

Not that I should be labeled among them, but the unrest in this country is growing.

Listen with a practiced ear to what seems drebble, but in reality is a voice urging others to join them.

I'm not against you Glock30Eric, but I can not chose a side of rebellion.

If the people with money (and I'm talking a lot of money here) can't win enough votes then who can?

The thing about the internet is that it tends to amplify fringe views. Real life is a different matter altogether.

In real life mice do things in the dark and multiply ...

You have to listen to them to find out where they are coming from ...

Peace is their foe and anger is a spirit within their movement ...

without adding those three little letters of course that some people eat for breakfast

Right, it is because many of Americans doesn't understand how the politic process could have the impact on them. So they are careless with the current politic climate in the America (only less than 30% of Americans voted). You just need to wait until the laws hit them really bad and then they will start scream and might create a blowback against the laws. (good example with 18th and 21st amendment)

Right now, the Obamacare and tax increase are hitting them slowly. Many doctors are quitting with their practices because of the high cost to run the business. Patients will see the impact sometime in a year. The recent sequester, a possible Gov't shut down on March 28, and a potential new anti-gun law/assault weapon ban law might drive them to fight against their representatives.

Where is the "REPUBLIC" in our current Gov't? It is basically nothing. The representatives are representing for themselves. That is not the republic as we have known.

Thanks to both of you for helping to prove my point.

Charming. Before continuing on this tangent, I suggest taking a closer look at the map.
