The morning after the re-election of President Obama, Rush Limbaugh told his listeners:

I went to bed last night thinking we’re outnumbered. I went to bed last night thinking all this discussion we’d had about this election being the election that will tell us whether or not we’ve lost the country. I went to bed last night thinking we’ve lost the country. I don’t know how else you look at this.

The conservative talk show host, who had been an upbeat, if initially doubtful, Romney supporter throughout the campaign, was on a post-election downer:

In a country of children where the option is Santa Claus or work, what wins? And say what you want, but Romney did offer a vision of traditional America. In his way, he put forth a great vision of traditional America, and it was rejected. It was rejected in favor of a guy who thinks that those who are working aren’t doing enough to help those who aren’t. And that resonated.

Limbaugh echoed a Republican theme that was voiced before and after the election: Barack Obama has unleashed a coalition of Americans “who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it — that that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to them”— as Mitt Romney put it in his notorious commentary on the 47 percent.

You can find this message almost everywhere on the right side of the spectrum. The Heritage Foundation, for example, annually calculates an “Index of Dependence on Government,” which grows every year:

Today, more people than ever before depend on the federal government for housing, food, income, student aid, or other assistance once considered to be the responsibility of individuals, families, neighborhoods, churches, and other civil society institutions. The United States reached another milestone in 2010: For the first time in history, half the population pays no federal income taxes. It is the conjunction of these two trends—higher spending on dependence-creating programs, and an ever-shrinking number of taxpayers who pay for these programs—that concerns those interested in the fate of the American form of government.

William Bennett, conservative stalwart, television commentator and secretary of education under President Reagan, complained on the CNN Web site that Democrats have been successful in setting

the parameters and focus of the national and political dialogue as predominantly about gender, race, ethnicity and class. This is the paradigm, the template through which many Americans, probably a majority, more or less view the world, our country, and the election. It is a divisive strategy and Democrats have targeted and exploited those divides. How else can we explain that more young people now favor socialism to capitalism?

In fact, the 2011 Pew Research Center poll Bennett cites demonstrates that in many respects conservatives are right to be worried:

Not only does a plurality (49-43) of young people hold a favorable view of socialism — and, by a tiny margin (47-46), a negative view of capitalism — so do liberal Democrats, who view socialism positively by a solid 59-33; and African Americans, 55-36. Hispanics are modestly opposed, 49-44, to socialism, but they hold decisively negative attitudes toward capitalism, 55-32.

This didn't "Just Happen".
$7% of the citizens of Detroit are Illiterate. In total about 30%of Americans are Illiterate. About 30% of Americans are failed by our Government Schools.

Of the 70% that are not Illiterate, about 35% are Ill-Educated by Unionista Teachers (Spell that Communist/Socialist Feminist Victims). The indoctrination of these Sheeple is WHY we have the most incompetent individual from America's most corrupt culture Occupying the Peoples House.

Political Correctness the tool of Feminism, is the GREAT POISON! 87% of "Teachers" that are failing to educate our children are Womyn, and a majority of them are Indoctrinated in Liberal Arts Colleges by Communist/Socialist Feminist Indoctrinators.

Until the immoral and despicable Government Schools are destroyed by Economic Collapse, We the People will continue down the path of the lowest African Tribalist Culture that will never be more than the dependents that they are. "Cultural Diversity" (A cousin of Political Correctness) is used to re-write history.

We did not just get here. It is past time for Patriotic Americans that have allowed the Officially Recognized Victim Groups to thrive because of intimidation, and fear of being called names, to say enough. We let you people "act" as though you have rights, and it is time to put you Official Victims where you belong, at the Lowest Wrung of our Country.

Hopefully the "Great Soretto Depression of 2014" will be the catalyst for the Patriotic to put you defectives where you belong, this will be preferable to the alternative as practiced in EVERY Tribalist Country in Africa.

Do you really think that posting under different names is fooling any one that you are not a bitter, ignorant troll who pretends to know anything about other posters?

Going Backwards, as your Great Leader is taking America, is the point. There is nothing "Progressive" about the Ignorant Masses being manipulated by your personal and mass Greed, Envy, Lust, Jealousy, and desires to satisfy your base biological desires.

Despots, going back to way before 1936 have manipulated their Sheeple like you since the 1st Caveman realized he could fauch your woman if he gave you an extra peice of meat that he "worked" to gather.

Tribal Scumbags have always been willing to sit on their azzes, and have another provide for them. Their lack of concern for anything but their creature comforts, have always precluded the destruction, and lead to the taking over of the population by outsiders that worked to enslave the tribal Scumbags.

Today America has the Peoples Demokrat Victims Party that exists to pander to you Scumbags of the "Official Victim Classes" in order to get your vote. As the defectives that you are, you willingly prop up the Thieves, just to keep you place at the Public Trough.

You are going to be minimized, eother by the destruction that YOU have wrought via your character Dfects, or by violence that YOU caused by your slothful leeching off your neighbor.

Go back to 10 AD and learn some history.....You will see your name written repeatedly as Societies Collapsed when to many lusted for the life of sloth that you lead..

Sociopath,

Calm down, your neighbors will keep feeding you until you have drained the Teet and Fattened Cow dies.

DO NOT! leave your Urban Cesspool when your microwave breaks, and you cannot cook any food. There is a reason that one of the Number one Stocks in America is "Smith and Wesson", you and yours ARE that reason.

Thank You for all you contribute.

Nobody knows that you exemplify the degradation that infests Our Country.

You do KNOW that when it collapses, you will be at the top of the list, don't you?

The pie will be much smaller when "The Barry Soeretto Depression" happens, and those that created the collapse by the slothful waste of their existence will be removed from the limited nourishment that will be needed by the productive to rebuild what you and yours have destroyed.
