And who's the leader of this grand resistance? Sarah Palin?

What freedoms are being threatened?

 "Obama and his allies are preparing to implement his liberal, “post-American” agenda"

Sioux,

What do you mean by post-American?

Hm...I viewed the site.

I can't say I agree....

Witters, what do you guys mean when you say post-American?

--virgil

VIRGIL:  I'm presuming "post-American" means after we are no longer the America as we know it now. Mr. Obama has continually indicated he wants "change". However, many of the changes he wants to make will dramatically change the face of the America live in now.  Wealth redistribution, open borders, government run health care, unconstitutional gun laws, the "fairness doctrine" i.e. basically shutting down conservative radio talk shows (freedom of speech??). Of course, this is MY definition and MY opinion.

All that said, although I did not vote for Mr. Obama, I do hope (and pray) he will do right by all of us - possibly even re-think some of the "changes" he indicated he would/might implement.

SPAM CODE:   EX DNC  !!!

thanks Witt..took the day off to enjoy the grand kids..'YA DID GOOD'

Sioux: "Obama and his allies are preparing to implement his liberal, “post-American” agenda. Simply put, what President-elect Obama and the Pelosi-Reid Congress have in store has the potential to rapidly move America to the socialist Left."

 You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means....

I wonder if Tories, plantation owners and segregationists used "post-America" after the country changed. If we're going to have progress society is going to change, whether we're talking about civil rights and equity or the industrial revolution or the invention of the light bulb.

Arm pit countries in South America, Africa and camel land haven't changed in centuries. They're happy folks.

At least Obama hasn't proposed changes to the Constitution. Can't say that about George Bush or Sarah Palin.

CATPAW:Arm pit countries in South America, Africa and camel land haven't changed in centuries. They're happy folks.  Are you sure they are all that happy???  Possibly you could go there and make a report and let us know eh? As a female, I personally, would not want to live there blue is not my color and I doubt the men would allow a fuchsia one - I guess as a man, you would be happy as there are very few, if any, restrictions on the men folk.

Yes indeed, there needs to be change, and there has always been change. I do not have a problem with that.  However, that said, anyone who wants to change our freedom of speech (fairness doctrine), open our borders to anybody and everybody, tell me when and where and if I will be able to see a physician (government run health care) and take away my right to protect myself and my family (2nd amendment), constitutional changes or not, is not good change, IMO. These kinds of changes will only demoralize America and we will no longer be the United States of America, land of the free, as we will no longer be "United" and we sure won't be (as) free as we are now.

Big CHANGE !!!!... welcome back to the Clinton Administration... where is the change ?

 THANK YOU GSISOLA!!!  Even the media is now saying........................what change?????

Witters,

Are you serious...?

Will you t tell me at what point America became the American we know to be the American we love, before it became post-American,  please?

--virgil

Witters,

It will help me in understanding what you mean by post-American.

By the way,  thanks for getting back to me with what post-American is.

--virgil

In the words of Clinton (Mr.) ......................." is what it is"!!!! LOL

Witters,

What is...?

Here's a wbesite for you, http://www.adbusters.org/

--virgil

VIRGIL:  what post-American is..................is - is what it is!!!!  LOL

By the way,  thanks for getting back to me with what post-American is.

VIRGIL:  I have been buying 'nothing' for some time now - can't afford anything.  We will not be purchasing Christmas presents this year. A card USED TO suffice and it will have to once again.

Witters,

"it is what it is"

What is  the what (in what you mean by post-American) ?

sorry...

--virgil

"We will not be purchasing Christmas presents this year. "

That's okay Witters,

You don't have to buy anything to express your good will.

--virgil

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH  the what!  The "what is.................everything we have now tanking and the government "saving us" from ourselves to the point we have little say so whatsoever in our personal lives! As mentioned above:  Wealth redistribution, open borders, government run health care, unconstitutional gun laws, the "fairness doctrine" i.e. basically shutting down conservative radio talk shows (freedom of speech??). This is what the "what" is.

I'm truly hoping it does not go down that way - I guess we will all just have to "hide and watch" and if things look like our government is trying to take over our lives totally, we the people will simply have to revolt as we did before, hence the  grassfire.org website for people to sign up ahead of time for the revolution. Again, hopefully it will not come to that.

Thanks for the mention of the Grassfire site, SiouxCityRanch. Just signed myself up. It'll be good to have this as a backup plan should it turn out Obama indeed can constitutionally serve as president. For now, he is stonewalling every simple request to have him prove he is a natural-born citizen, and he won't tell us why he won't authorize the release of his original birth certificate for public inspection. So for much for the transparency he has pledged. Let's see what the Supreme Court decides on a couple of lawsuits on this issue in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, it wouldn't hurt to sign a petition to get the officials crackin' on ending this secrecy: http://www.wnd.com/index.ph...

Perhaps a listing of the Top 10 reasons Barry won't give in could shed some light: http://exurbanleague.com/20...

The agenda on the website states that grassroots is opposed to: 

Socialistic wealth redistribution including any and all tax increases and big-government welfare programs.

Silencing conservatives through the Fairness Doctrine and other efforts that restrict free speech.

Open border anarchy including amnesty for illegal aliens and promotion of multi-nation “unions”.

Government-run health care that weakens our system and imposes more tax burdens on citizens.

Weakening of our military through rapid pullback from Iraq, defunding our troops and overall disarmament.

Social liberalism including radical pro-abortion agenda, the end of marriage and the homosexual agenda.

Liberal court activism that undermines faith, family and liberties while expanding government control.

Post-American globalismthat diminishes our global role and threatens our national sovereignty.

Environmental extremism,  the CO2 tax, undermining coal and nuclear, and bans on

exploration.

Weakening the 2nd Amendment through unconstitutional gun laws that take away or penalize us for owning firearms and our right to defend our family, our property, and ourselves.

Of these, six are demonstrably not on the Obama agenda (even if one strips them of the incendiary language): 1) Silencing Conservatives through the Fairness Doctrine; 2) Open Border Anarchy; 3) Weakening of Our Military; 4) Social Liberalism; 5) Post-American globalism; and 6) Weakening the 2nd Amendment.

Of the rest, Government Run Health Care; Wealth redistribution; Liberal Court Activism; and Environmental Extremism, only one will be pursued in a fashion even remotely similar to what is described.

I think grassroots and its members have little to worry about and even less to form a "Resistance" against.
