as soon as people learn they can vote themselves money from the treasury, it will signal the end of our republic. This warning resonates again and again as we watch our freedoms dissipate under the current administration and its ruthless treatment of our ethical framework, and our laws. People often wonder, sometime piously, how it is that tyranny occurs. We like to think the populations victimized were somehow less savvy, more gullible, or asleep at the wheel. We think ourselves better somehow, and that it could never happen here. Every generation that has fallen to tyranny has believed the same comforting fable. They only learn that they, too, were susceptible to tyranny when it is too late.

John Galt Calling - Had Enough?

by Doug Patton

"They believe in free stuff. We believe in free people." - U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, 2012 vice presidential nominee When I heard Congressman Ryan utter those words during his speech to the Republican National Convention in Tampa last summer, I thought they would define the 2012 race for the White House. No statement so clearly describes the deep division between the earners and the takers in this country as we stand on the uneasy precipice of another Obama term. As we all try to analyze the election results, it appears that "free stuff" won big. More than half a century ago, author Ayn Rand one of Paul Ryan's social and political inspirations saw the dangers of socialism in America. In her 1,100-page opus, "Alas Shrugged," she presciently predicted the direction of the country and the consequences inherent in that course. The book tells the story of how her protagonist, John Galt, has had enough of the leaches who will not work and the bureaucrats who cater to them. Galt recruits the brightest, most productive members of society to go on strike in order to deprive the nation's parasites of the support they need to continue redistributing wealth they did not earn. Now that Obama has won a second four-year term to continue his leftist agenda, one has to wonder just how many of the people who actually pay the bills in this country intend to "go John Galt." I personally know a few. A doctor in Nebraska has been telling his patients that he intends to close his practice and leave the country if Obama is re-elected. Obamacare, he says, will destroy his practice, and he has no intentions of working for the government. It appears that he has not been uttering idle threats. He has purchased property in another country and he really plans to leave. An executive for a major Midwestern corporation, which recently merged with a similar firm in a larger city, has been contemplating relocation in order to continue working for the company that has employed her for more than three decades. Obama's re-election has finalized her decision. "I'm done," she says at the peak of her career. "There's no way I'm going back to this level of work and stress and taxation. I'm going Galt. Elections have consequences. I'm over it. You'd be surprised how cheaply I can live. They can tax somebody else." The owner of a Japanese restaurant tells one of his employees, who supported Obama, "If he wins, you will lose your job." It is not a threat. He simply knows what is coming. The owner of a picture framing gallery, who has struggled to keep her business afloat for the past three years, will close her doors by the end of this year. The final, deciding factor for her was the result of this presidential election. "No one even has the money to pick up the work I've already framed for them," she laments, "and it's only going to get worse. I'm not working this hard for nothing."

A salesman approaching his 65th birthday, who planned to wait until age 66 to file for Social Security, is contemplating filing early. "My intention was to wait another year so that I wouldn't be penalized for working and earning more than the allowed amount of $14,400 per year," he says. "But with rising gas prices, regulations and taxes under Obama, I might as well do the minimum and live off the government dole like half the country already is." Barack Obama has already done great damage to this country. He will do much more damage over the next four years. Whether America's producers will continue to stand for it remains to be seen. In his gracious concession speech on election night, Mitt Romney appealed to business owners and entrepreneurs. "We look to job-creators of all kinds," he said. "We're counting on you to invest, to hire, to step forward..." Perhaps they will, but if they do, it will be in spite of Barack Obama, certainly not because of him.

THE GOP PROBLEM

Seeking answers to why their presidential candidate lost the election, the first round of consensus on the right has focused on the Republican need to recalibrate its message to connect with the nation's shifting voting demographicsor, at the very least, acknowledge that the country is changing. I must say "DUH!!" The GOP gave away the 2008 election and now the 2012 with the same comedy of errors. NO DEFINITION OF PARTY. The aisle-crossing McCain actually made some of the base simply stay home. This year's pseudo-conservative Romney lost the conservative base before he started. A social media post said the changing demographics means trouble for the GOP. Problems for a political party? The breakout of "African-American," "Latino-American," and "AsianAmerican" voters who selected Obama means problems for the country! People cast votes because of race, or because they want something from an unprincipled candidate!??! The 18-29 vote is important to a campaign, but the mindset of young people is best described by Churchill -- (paraphrased) if you are older and not conservative, you are stupid! I do not get the male vs female vote, unless there is an educational divide. Perhaps there is a preponderance of single-Moms out there looking for a 2nd alimony check from Uncle Sam. The trouble for the nation is that this election was not won on the economy or foreign policy or integrity regarding the military. This election spells the death knell of a Republic. One pundit wrote: "I think all those Obama constituents should leave America and form their own country. Libya might be a good place. A nice Muslim location with no constitution to ignore."

~3~

For the GOP to survive it must determine and stick to defined core principles. Failing that, the GOP can be described as Democrat-Lite. STEPHEN VASIL opined: This post will probably make some of my GOP friends head spin but it's true. Bush "campaigned" as a fiscal/social conservative. Romney and McCain both "campaigned" as fiscal conservatives, but not social conservatives. Do I need to remind you who won? NORMA SUE LOTT commented This election has proven a point I read in an article some months back. The article dealt with critical mass and explained the progressives have worked on this for years, even in the twenties. Many were hippies years ago and now we see them in institutions of learning (higher and lower) in community offices, in charity organizations and other organizations that are helping while spreading their word. They have reached critical mass in our population and have swayed so many to believe that government can do it all for you. Once critical mass is reached...it's impossible to win for us. We let it happen.

21ST CENTURY JUDGMENT

BY

SUZANNA ETHERIDGE RAWLINS

The problem with people today and the study of history is that they read it with the eyes and judgment of the 21st century norms and mores instead of taking themselves back in time and evaluating a historical situation using the norms and mores of that time period. To do the latter is much more difficult and takes much more effort on the part of the student. As a result, historical events become distorted and purposes that might have seemed legitimate at that time or originating from good intentions are now condemned by the ever critical eyes of today. Rest assured that our future descendants will probably do the same with our current events which will be their history. And our motives that we deem pure and honorable will be distorted by their norms and mores. In addition to this is the fact that there are two sides to each historical event and therefore two "lenses" with which to view the event.... Our history books are traditionally written by the winner... but remember that does not make the winner's version more "true" or more "right" than that of the loser.... Try to take in the big picture and look at all sides of the situation and look at the unemotional facts and data. You will be amazed at what you can learn.

In my humble opinion, the Republican Party needs to take a good look at what has happened in the last two elections. The young people, women, et al, in this Country do not want, and will not vote for, old white men. John McCain & Mitt Romney just won't do. Had

Conservatives? Time to stop the whining. Tuesday was the siege of Charleston.
Published by: ROBERT LAURIE

Were better than the crybaby routine

On April 2nd, British Lieutenant General Sir Henry Clinton led an overwhelming force as it lay siege to the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The ensuing violence lasted 40 days. When it was over, 5,200 Continental troops had been captured, 92 were killed, and 148 were wounded. The city was lost. It would go down in history as the worst U.S. defeat of the Revolutionary War. As news of the loss spread, Americans complained that war was hard, there was no way to win, and that Liberty just wasnt worth the hassle. So, they surrendered and we remain English to this day. Oh waitthats not what happened, is it. No. They licked their wounds, put on their big boy pants, and took it to the Brits with such fury that, a couple of years later, the enemy signed the Treaty of Paris. For conservatives, Election Night was the siege of Charleston. Unfortunately, for the last two days, the whiners have taken over the narrative. Instead of getting angry, the people who should be fighting the hardest are moping around feeling sorry for themselves. America is doomed, They say. Weve lost it all. In four years you wont recognize the place. Weve been beaten by Mad King Obama! Please, just stop. We're better than this. Believe me when I tell you that I understand the sting of losing. We all do. As I POINTED OUT YESTERDAY, The United States finds itself in a dangerous spot, on very shaky footing. The country, as we know and love it, took a very hard hit Tuesday. With that as a starting point, the fact that our constitutional ideals have become harder to defend does not mean we stop trying. Yes, because of Obamas re-election he has four more years to try and stamp us out. Hes made it quite clear that the Constitution is an obstacle, and theres no doubt hell attempt to weasel his way around it at every opportunity. However, if we simply sit back and ring our hands rather than fight, hell have free reign. If we werent willing to give that to him on Monday, why are so many ready to admit defeat and hand it over now?

~5~

Somehow, conservatives got it into their heads that Election Night was going to be our last battle. We were going to win, liberalism would go away, and wed be a nation of strict constructionists. That was never the case. If you thought so, you were really kidding yourselves. This fight never ends, and it would have been no different had Romney been elected. Now, we can do one of two things. Either we run away with our tails between our legs, or we fight like weve been backed into a corner. Personally, Ive never been big on the whole whipped dog routine, so I choose to fight. You want to give up? Fine. The rest of us will carry on without you. If youre tough enough to keep going, cut the crybaby act and saddle up. We have work to do.

We must look down from 30,000 feet sometimes, and avoid simply dodging the trees right in front of us. Our world has changed while we were not paying attention. Some of it for the better, some not. We are inescapably locked in transition toward who knows what. I try to recall my father's statements in the 60s and 70s and how the world (people) had moved from one sense of normalcy all the way to toleration that his parents and grandparents could not consider. Let's remember that "America" has different meaning and definition depending on where your grandparents stood and where you find yourself today.

How We Have Changed

Back in the day the prevailing method of securing loyalty was through 40 acres and a mule. It was a means by which the individual could support himself and his family. It was an honorable "hand up" rather than a hand out. Political though it was, the economy of post-war South was in shambles. Today we again have an economy in shambles. Many millions are out of work. Many multi-income families are barely meeting the basics of food, clothing and shelter. The 40 acres and a mule concept would be a blessing both graciously and thankfully accepted. Yet in 2012 we have a different modus operandi that works like a charm. It is called Free Stuff. Healthcare, telephones, Food Stamps, never-ending unemployment benefits, US Citizenship, open borders ... you name it. The problem is that the dirt farmer of 1865 wanted to earn his own way. It was all about personal dignity. Today there is no incentive to do for yourself, no discussion (or heritage) of personal dignity. Thomas Paine wrote, "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value."

The old method of helping those in need actually benefitted the person, their family and society. It was conceived with respect for the individual. Today's method simply reinvents the Slave on a new plantation.

I MCDONOUGH, GEORGIA
*EDITORIAL* by Beau Kelley

People are fired-up on Facebook. More than likely you fall into two groups today: a.) You are either angry or disappointed that your presidential candidate lost last night, or b.) Elated and relieved that your candidate was re-elected. Readers, this election wasn't just about Obama vs. Romney. Leadership, innovation and bipartisanship need to happen at the local and state levels, too. Local office holders affect your day-to-day life more than decisions made by the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. You owe it to yourself to learn about local politicians and how they represent your voice. I'd venture to say that most of you can probably name at least one federal senator from Georgia, and I am sure there are plenty who can name their congressman. I doubt, though, that many can name their county commissioner or city council representative. And thats a shame. County commissioners, city council members, and school board representatives can make or break our day with the simplest of motions. Decisions regarding our roads, schools, taxes, crime, neighborhoods and our economy as a whole are made more frequently at the local level than anywhere else. Don't like the parking situation in downtown McDonough? The president can't help you. Concerned about vacant storefronts? Don't email the president about that. Want a traffic light at a busy intersection? The president has more important concerns. You must become as passionate about local politics as you are about national politics. And you must vote even when the president isn't on the ballot. You as a voter have much more influence with your local government. Yeah, that means paying attention to whats going on, and that can be time consuming. But hey, whoever said democracy was easy? Local elections often fall victim to low voter turnout as a result of either public ignorance or simple complacency. In many ways, those local elections are just as important or more important as the elections that determine our next president. The person who becomes sheriff, mayor, a school board member or council woman will play a crucial role in our daily quality of life. And you must get to know them. Just because they show-up to have their picture made at local events doesn't necessarily mean they are looking out for you. You must see them in action. That means attending commission meetings, city council sessions, and school board meetings. You can't rely on the media or bloggers to tell you what is important. Oftentimes, you can't even depend on the minutes recorded from these meetings because that does not tell you the temperament in the room, body language, or who was

Mourning in America
Here's Those Layoffs We Voted For

By RUSTY WEISS

Last [Tuesdays] victory for the President marks the first time since its inception that Obamacare is no longer a what-if; it is the future of health care in America. It also means a near immediate impact on the economy. With 20 or so new or HIGHER TAXES set to be implemented, ranging from a $123 billion surtax on investment income, through the $20 billion medical device tax, all the way down to the $600 million executive compensation limit, Obamacare will be a nearly unbearable TAX BURDEN on the economy. Who will pay? The middle-class workforce, of course. So with another four years for President Obama to look forward to, and the obvious inevitability of Obamacare that this entails, let's examine the very real jobs that will be lost, and the very real lives that will be affected.

~8~

Do elections have consequences? If you have been paying attention to the financial markets, you might think so. Wall Street has had two horrible days since President Obama won a second term. However, stock prices are not the only thing taking a hit. It appears that the job market is also suffering.

Dana Holding Corp. As recently as a week ago, a global auto parts manufacturing company in Ohio known as Dana Holding Corp., warned their employees of potential layoffs, citing "$24 million over the next six years in additional U.S. health care expenses". The company will have to cover the additional $24 million cost somehow, which will likely equate to numerous cuts in their current workforce of 25,500 worldwide. Stryker One of the biggest medical device manufacturers in the world, Stryker will close their facility in Orchard Park, New York, eliminating 96 jobs in December. Worse, they plan on countering the medical device tax in Obamacare by slashing 5% of their GLOBAL WORKFORCE - an estimated 1,170 positions. Boston Scientific In October of 2009, Boston Scientific CEO Ray Elliott, warned that proposed taxes in the health care reform bill could "lead to significant job losses" for his company. Nearly two years later, Elliott announced that the company would be cutting anywhere between 1,200 and 1,400 jobs, while simultaneously shifting investments and workers overseas - to China. Medtronic In March of 2010, medical device maker MEDTRONIC WARNED that Obamacare taxes could result in a reduction of precisely 1,000 jobs. That plan became reality when the company cut 500 positions over the summer, with another 500 set for the end of 2013. Others A
SHORT LIST

of other companies facing future layoffs at the hands of Obamacare:

Smith & Nephew - 770 layoffs Abbott Labs - 700 layoffs Covidien - 595 layoffs Kinetic Concepts - 427 layoffs St. Jude Medical - 300 layoffs Hill Rom - 200 layoffs

Beyond the complete elimination of a significant number of American jobs is another looming problem created by the health care law - a shift from full-time to part-time workers. Sean Hackbarth of FREE ENTERPRISE explains:

~9~

A JP Morgan economist "points out that 8.3 million people are working in part-time jobs even though they'd prefer full-time work. Unfortunately, because of President Obamas health care law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), workers in the hotel, restaurant, and retail industries could be pushed into part-time jobs working less than 30 hours per week." "Under the health care law, if a company has more than 50 full time equivalent workers, a combination of full and part-time employees, but doesnt offer affordable coverage that meets the governments minimum value standard, the company will have to pay a penalty. This penalty is determined by the number of full-time employees minus 30 full-time employees. So to reiterate a very important point: part-time workers are not part of the penalty formula. The health care law creates a perverse incentive to hire part-time versus full-time workers." Tangible examples of Obamacare causing a reduction in full-time workers: Darden Restaurants According to the Orlando Sentinel, DARDEN RESTAURANTS, a casual dining chain best known for their Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse restaurants, is "experimenting with limiting the hours of some of its workers to avoid health care requirements under the Affordable Care Act when they take effect in 2014". JANCOA Janitorial Services The CEO of JANCOA, Mary Miller, testified to Congress THAT OBAMACARE was a "dream killer", adding that one option she had to consider "is reducing the majority of my team members to part-time employment in order to reduce the amount that I will be penalized." Kroger The American retailer in Cincinnati, Ohio recently was reported to be planning a significant slashing of their hourly workers. DOUG ROSS writes: Operative Faith (a mid-level manager with the company) reveals that Kroger will soon join the ranks of Darden Restaurants and slash the hours of its non-exempt (hourly) workers to avoid millions in Obamacare penalties. According to the source, Obamacare could result in tens of thousands of Kroger employees being limited to working 28 hours per week. Summary This is by no means, meant to be an exhaustive list. But it is meant to provide examples of real companies, real jobs, and real names, soon to be added to the growing list of employment casualties provided by the inevitable implementation of Obamacare. Last [Tuesday], America voted for four more years of President Obama and his destructive economic and health care policies. By extension, America last night voted their approval of the aforementioned layoffs and overall work reduction. Now we must accept the inevitable. Welcome to mourning in America.

Obama Lost in Every State with a Voter Photo-ID Law

Was the election stolen? Remember all those lawsuits by Democrats demanding that any voter identification laws be repealed? Well, now we know why they filed them. They needed to steal the vote in certain key states so that Obama could be reelected. Curiously, Obama lost in every state that requires a photo ID to be produced before voting. A list of closely contested state elections with no voter ID, which narrowly went to Obama include: Minnesota (10), Iowa (6), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5) and Pennsylvania (20). This amounts to a total of 66 electoral votes. When added to Romneys total of 205 electoral votes, that would give Romney 271 electoral votes, enough votes to win even without Ohio or Florida Romney also likely had the states of Florida and Ohio stolen from him, which dont require photo IDs. Ohio requires a non-photo ID. Would a library card do? Florida requests a photo ID, but doesnt require it. So what happens if they request a photo ID and the illegal alien Haitian doesnt have one? Do they just count the vote anyway?

WASHINGTON, DC Sources confirmed today that hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots were delivered hours after the deadline for them to be counted, with preliminary counts showing that they would have overturned the vote in several states and brought a victory for Governor MITT ROMNEY. Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system. Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan. At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents. I told Gunny we got a bunch of ballots instead of ammo, Davis told investigators earlier today. He told me to file a report of improper delivery and that the chain of command would take care of it. We didnt hear anything for three weeks. While we were waiting we came under fire so we dumped a bunch of them in the Hescoes. We didnt dig those ones back out. After military officials realized the initial error, the ballots were then sent back to the U.S. but suffered a series of setbacks.

~11~

Twelve boxes of ballots were dropped overboard during delivery to the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) in the Persian Gulf, then while the ship sailed to Bahrain, postal clerks allegedly pocketed whatever ballots they wanted. The remaining absentee ballots were loaded onto a C-130, but the flight was delayed until November 1st so the crew could get tax free pay for the month. Once the ballots arrived stateside they were promptly mailed to each states counting facility, reaching their final destination on November 7th. Its a shame, Rear Admiral John Dawes said when asked for comment. I expected a delay so I ordered that everyone cast their votes eight months ago. Its really unfortunate that our mail system failed us and directly affected the course of history. Upon hearing the news, angry Republicans have begun a demand for a recount, but most military absentee voters have shrugged off the news, with many wondering whether the care packages their families sent six months ago were ever going to show up.

NULLIFICATION
WE (CONSERVATIVES) NOW HAVE 60% OF THE GOVERNORS ON OUR SIDE. IF THEY WILL COME TOGETHER AND NULLIFY OBAMACARE, AND OTHER STUPID BILLS, WE CAN DEFEAT OBAMA ISNT THIS THE PURPOSE OF THE TENTH AMENDMENT?
The best solution for Georgia is for the General Assembly to take the proposed constitutional amendment on nullification from the 2010 session and simply enact it as a bill in the legislature instead of proposing it as a constitutional amendment. Had they done this in 2010, it would have passed since the 2/3 majority is only needed for proposed constitutional amendments. Putting individual items on the ballot as proposed constitutional amendments was improper in the first place. Only items which would change our form of government should be "constitutional amendments." And, more importantly, the state legislature was simply "passing the buck" in responsibility by sending it to the voters instead of doing the job for which they were elected... which is voting on these types of bills themselves. EVERY single bill of nullification by a state in American history was passed as a bill by the legislature NOT by the general electorate as a proposed constitutional amendment, so obviously the precedent exists for the legislature to do it themselves. The second thing that should be done is that Gov. Deal can use interposition and simply announce that Obamacare is unconstitutional because it does not lie within Congress' jurisdiction according to Art. I Sec 8 of the united States Constitution and, therefore, as the chief executive of Georgia, it is his obligation under his oath or affirmation of office to prevent it from being enforced in Georgia. This is an example of "interposition" and it is his responsibility to do so since he took an oath to uphold by the constitution of Georgia and these united States. Both of these things should be done in unison but either is sufficient by itself legally to stop Obamacare from being implemented in Georgia. For Georgia First, Ray McBerry

I have been in mourning. I have spent three days grieving over the Old America. I will be ok though for I am still an American in the New America, and I still have Gods Word as my guide. However, after evaluating all things, I am seeing the re-election of President Obama as coming from the following perspective: *Non-Americanism. We have raised a generation that has not been integrated into an American ideology of work hard, grab every opportunity, dont quit, dream big, and help thy neighbor. *Our founding fathers could have never conceived the technology infiltration that we deal with so as to prepare for it in our constitution. Large masses of Americans cannot sustain the single-minded focus the media forces on them during the election process which has rendered them unable to search out facts, analyze, and draw their own conclusions. *Rather than choosing integrity and the best for everyone, many Americans have realized that they can have what they covet - not by hard work but by voting for the man that gives the most stuff. *Our borders have brought in - en masse, people that come from many generations of government-helped societies thereby following their cultural training they automatically choose a leader that will continue their comfort zones by making decisions for them and handing over their share. *Many in leadership, having lead by example, have caused society to judge the success and the consequence based on the size of the cover-up. *In four years our Community Organizer has taken American society back into the divisive culture of hating, coveting and ridiculing - race, success, work, truth, integrity, and religious beliefs. *Our society now, by a greater percentage reaches conclusions based on feelings and immediate gratification with no understanding or care for future consequences.

It has been a good 236 years and though I am now the minority, I will, along with other hard-working, patriotic Americans continue to live and stand on my beliefs in truth, integrity, God and the old country. This is the New America. This is not fatalism, this is assess and adjust. And I will. I have walked in mine integrity, therefore I will not slide. Psalm 26

Obama: Wealthy must see higher taxes under plan. Obama says he will refuse to accept any approach that "isn't balanced." HEY OBAMA, Balance and Redistribute until you have completely socialized MY COUNTY. See how many of our wealthiest citizens keep their resources within your reach!

The only people you will affect is the American Middle Class.
AMBER MCMEANS commented: That is the thing that I most fear. The high income people can hide and move their money elsewhere. The low income/no income earners will receive help/welfare from the government. The middle class is going to have to cover the majority for everyone. I am so concerned about my family and friends, it breaks my heart. I truly hope this does not happen and hope I never have to say "I told you". My vote for Romney was my voice to improve the economy.
