We (right thinking, freedom loving, liberty exercising Americans) are now the loyal opposition. We will hear from the nonstop Obamamedia (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Air America, Democrat National Committee, et al) that it’s “time to come in line” and Obama has “received a mandate” and “stop being obstructionists.” [...]
