#1 The Wall Street Journal's steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack Obama is "an alien in the White House."

An unmistakable double entendre if I've ever read one.

#3 Second revolution at the ballot box, but not the kind with guns and stuff. Liberalism and Progressivism will be dirty words for a decade or so after Obama but the left will come up with some other word to fool the gullible into following them.

I suspect the next go around will be fiscally responsible style progressivism which will draw a lot of Libertarian leaning folks in. Still, a step further away from Marxism, no matter how imperfect, is a step in the right direction.

#4 Soap Box, Ballot box, Cartridge box. If we don't win in November, the third option will be all that's left to us.

#5 #3 Second revolution at the ballot box, but not the kind with guns and stuff.

You are wrong. There will necessarily be a brief period involving the "guns and stuff". It is inescapable.

#6 I agree, but they won't be pointed at other Americans. The Chinese will have to decide if they really think they can win. I suspect they'll make the same mistake the Japanese and Germans made, but with more horrific consequences.

#7 well if history repeats itself, the conditions are certainly right. First we have taxation without representation and then we have the issue of states rights with the flashpoint of illegal immigration (those supporting have very similar arguments to the support of slavery) and then the issues re: raids across the Rio Grande.
