If Republicans do not stand up against this president, the Democrat Party and its ideology, we are a one-party nation. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul are exceptions.

The combination of Obamacare, so-called Wall Street reform, open borders and amnesty, a dictatorial president, a complicit opposition and a shockingly passive populace are adding up to a lost cause for America. The Constitution is being dissolved before our eyes.

The private economy is being ground to a halt, intimidated into submission to a dominating ruling class. An insatiable federal government is swallowing and corrupting everything. It's disheartening and disgusting to witness.

We now have a government that openly uses its instruments, the IRS, EPA, NSA, etc., as weapons against us, the people.

For the president, freedom is just a word to be bandied about when convenient, to get over, to make it look like he cares. God knows where this man came from, but he is not the first monster to rise to power to lord it over what was a great nation.
