The progressives (communists, socialists, Fabians, Alinsky radicals, and far left zealots) put together a coalition that will never be challenged again in my lifetime. The movement started a 100 years ago with the first “Progressive” — Woodrow Wilson. The movement picked up steam with FDR and really took off with LBJ’s “Great Society.“
I believe Obama was the first true “progressive” since LBJ. He most certainly is an Academic Marxist and one-world socialist. The coalition under Obama’s first four years increased substantially with 47 percent of the population on food stamps and 49 percent of the country on some form of government assistance (excluding Social Security). Add to the progressives (communists, socialists, Fabians, Alinsky radicals, and far left zealots) the entire black Democrat plantation vote; 70 percent of the Hispanic vote; the mixed race vote; the single mother vote; the union thug vote (both private sector and State and Federal); the felon vote; the pot head vote; the homosexual vote; the moron vote; and the dead people vote, all supported by the “mainstream” media, and you have a coalition that can’t be beat.
We are truly a nation divided. The conservatives and the progressives; the red states and the blue states; the makers and the moochers. The $16 trillion national debt going to $20 trillion, Christians at an all time low — 48 percent, and morals the lowest in our history. The Republic will not stand.
I’m 70 years old and I thank the good Lord I will die in a bright red county that is in a bright red state. I have seen the United States at its peak — the 1950s. I feel so said for the young people.

Did you know, to build off your description of red states (makers) and blue states (moochers), that states that vote republican make up the majority of states that take more federal dollars than they give? Also, blue states have higher incomes per capita and are better educated. Actually the bottom ten educated states all voted republican. The opposite is true for the top ten.
The best thing the Republicans can do to regain some credibility and power is to quit blaming their failures on everyone else. Look in the mirror.
Nut jobs like Mr. Morris - bless his heart - only make the problem and perception worse.
People who think Mr. Obama is a Muslim are ludicrously mistaken. He is almost totally surrounded by far left, secular, socialist Jews. These people are the most hubristic, cynical, and mendacious folks on the planet. They mean no one any good, except themselves and their friends.
The Asian bloc should also be ashamed of themselves, but of course they're not. They keep a low profile, but game the hell out of the system. They're experts at getting goodies galore from the system.
They, along with the aforementioned bloc will ride this horse 'til it drops.
America opened its doors too wide and for too long. It's all but over, folks.
