[mr surveyor]

If the majority can simply change the rules, then realistically speaking, there are no rules.

well said!

Democracy is not the same as anarchy.

Democracy is not the same as anarchy.

And a Republic is not the same as Democracy.

Long term, the answer is at the polls. In the interim, how do we combat what the progressives are doing? The president is changing laws at his whim and the progressives in the senate are changing the rules to fit their agenda. How do we regain some semblence of balance of power and rule of law before they do figure out a way to take our guns? After the guns, other rights will be gone. My tinfoil hat is only going to provide so much protection.

It is a bleak day. Once power is taken from the people it is not easily recovered.

November 6, 2008 was a bleak day for America. Unfortunately, far too many Americans still don't realize it.

Obama said elections have consequences. He wasn't kidding. And Americans weren't listening.

Now we pay the price.

What's crazy is this impacts every way more than the assault weapons ban would have yet it's not a hot item. I don't think most people realize what's actually happened or worse yet, care.

Imagine the outrage if this was applied to any other civil right. Want to vote...get photographed, fingerprinted, and pay a tax. Want to be a journalist, get photographed, fingerprinted and pay a tax. Want to have a faith, get fingerprinted, and pay a tax. HOLY COW the outrage would be rightfully great and fearsome to behold.

What a scary time we live in.

Yep no where to go but down. It seems everyone is just holding their breath until the next election and hoping nothing else happens all the time the left is just stacking things in their favor.

For the most part conservatives take the moral high ground/play by the rules. It's almost impossible to win any contest when the rules only apply to your team.
We are living on borrowed time.
