So, how much freedom will we have restored two years from now?

We will hold ground on the Second Amendment. We will lose ground everywhere else.

Now that freedom is going to be restored, I'm going to invest in freedom fries and those little yellow ribbon stickers that people put on the backs of cars that encourage people to support our troops.

Maybe worthy of a thread of it's own, but now that the election is over, I'm pretty sure that we will be able to smell the freedom coming from the peace bombs that the freedom warriors are going to set off all over Ferguson. We can put all that silly talk behind us about demilitarizing the police now that the Reds are in charge.

Media talking point for the next few days: This election was not only a repudiation of the Obama presidency, it was also a repudiation of the radical Tea Party fringe of the party.

Discuss....

Liberty lost, just like it always does...

The only reason I'm not totally indifferent is that I'm sad my Republican friends are happy...

 

[Spikender]

A little more freedom when it comes to marijuana, losses in all other respects.

I think Rand will get some good legislation through. Republicans will try and get rid of Obamacare and fail. Attempt at immigration reform that will fail because of Republican infighting.

So, how much [freedom] will be restored in two year's time?

-5.278 Rothbards, in absolute terms.

Good Lord!! THAT much?!

You, sir, seem to be quite the optimist ...

Don't see much good it will do when people don't understand the purpose of the 2nd Amendment and think their guns are just relics for a curio cabinet. And hunting or shooting clays.

I actually had a guy I used to shoot with tell me one day that he thinks its crazy that GA was contemplating allowing guns to be carried in churches even if the church leaders didn't mind.

The 2nd Amendment is still far from safe.

One thing certain no matter what goons are in charge... the average joe (and jane) loses...

Was watching the neocon talking head parade on the morning news shows, and this is exactly what will happen and what they are crowing about.

Hard line against Russia.

Hard line against Assad.

Hard line against Iran.

"Stamp out" IS.

Of rolling back the Surveillance State, of restoring or protecting individual liberties, of shrinking the size, scope and power of government, not a fucking peep.

What Will Republican Control of the Senate Mean?

Laurence M. Vance

For the first time since 2006, Republicans have control of the Senate (or at least they will at the beginning of the year). What will Republican control of the Senate, and therefore total control of the Congress, mean? As someone who has studied the actions of the Republican Party for over 20 years—including the legislation they have passed or helped to pass, the bills they have introduced that did not pass, the speeches Republicans have made, the Party Platforms they have adopted, and the budgets they have proposed—I can say without hesitation that it will mean absolutely nothing. They will continue to spend, spend, spend, bomb, bomb, bomb, tax, tax, tax, and regulate, regulate, regulate. Watch them for the next two years and try to prove me wrong. I will be watching them like a hawk

 

[acptulsa]

Ask not what these bozos will do to you. Ask what we will do to further expose and discredit these bozos.

 

[Ronin Truth]

I'll SWAG less than today and more than three years from now.

 

[Czolgosz]

By all accounts from the media I am watching, a major shift in DC power has taken place.

The only metric that I care about is freedom.

So, how much will be restored in two year's time?

Some token crumbs.
