The Blaze’s Billy Hallowell contributed to this piece.
The Honeymoon may very well be over.
Last week, The Blaze covered Netroots Nation, the largest gathering of progressives in the country. In order to take the pulse of the American Left, we asked two simple questions of the attendees and activists there:
1. “What would you like to see from Obama in a second term?”
2. “On a scale of A-F, grade the President’s first term.”
The responses are not to be missed:

Posted on June 15, 2012 at 8:39amFolks, we need these stupid people to keep saying they are liberals so we get an understanding what to avoid. Still the blacks tend to avoid reason and gush at Obama‘s every word since they love seeing the Sharpton’s, Jackson‘s and Obama’s of the world on television toting their agenda. The moron who gave him an A- probably never got an A- in school so the irony is unbelievable. Hold your children tight America and don’t let them associate with this garbage.

Posted on June 15, 2012 at 9:07amWords of wisdom from the past,
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers
that it can bribe the public with their own money.”
— Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 – 1859)
There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation.
One is by sword. The other is by debt.”
-– John Adams
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot
exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will
continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they
can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates who promise the most benefits from the public
treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed
by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest
civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about
200 years.”
— Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor 1787
I place the economy among the first and most important

To preserve your independence, we must not let our leaders
load us with perpetual debt. We must make our choice between
economy and liberty… or profusion and servitude.”

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 11:51amTired of the BLAME Bush thing. I’ve come to the conclusion with all the debt O put us in, all the trillions he’s spend on losing ventures (our money) that it’s time we start BLAMING OBAMA. Then Romney can say “he inherited this mess from Obama.” It will happen.
From now on, I’ll say “Blame Obama” every time he starts with the “inherited this mess” as we all know. if you have a pea brain, you stop spending on losing projects, and start trying to get business to hire by cutting taxes and remove the Obamacare threat so private business will hire. We have too many government workers. Just look around and see what many of these people really do, most got cake and eat it too. Unions right behind them with waste.

Soros is smart. He knows his audience. He would say Romney and Obama are the same. If he really wanted to go nuclear, he would endorse Romney. He knows that his endorsement, or even equivalence of Romney with 0, would be poison for the gullible.

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 11:22amThis could be the last free election in this country in my lifetime. At least, that is what will be on my mind that day, and I will gratefully exercise my “last” vote to vote AGAINST King Zero. If you do not vote against him, he returns.
At least with Romney, I have a 50/50 shot that he will surround himself with sound constitutional conservatives and policy thinkers. He has a free-market “message” that I pray he will stick to. O-Zero condemns wholeheartedly free-market enterprise. In fact, he condemns absolutely 100% of every value and principal I believe in. That has to be a miracle. Has there ever been a president in my lifetime that represents 100% of everything I abhor? When has there ever been a clearer Choice?…
I pray 2010 was only the beginning. I pray we make landslide gains in both houses with constitutional conservatives who will then be able to provide Romney the muscle and fortitude he needs to make the drastic, Urgent changes that need to be made. This is an Emergency people. Our country is in the 11th hour. There has never been a more Urgent election. We must vote Against the Evil that is presently Occupying, BEFORE we can vote FOR the Urgent Changes that need to be made. Please vote to STOP the hemorrhage. THEN, work your butt off to your last breath, give yourself and your circle no rest until we Restore this country, by the Grace of the Almighty Creator.
