Unfortunately as the maps show below that mob rule is still in play at the state level.<\/p>\n<p>Look at these maps of key states that were deciding factors in the 2012 election.

The wrong people have twisted, turned and manipulated the system so badly there is no way to correct it legislatively. They have allowed heavily populated areas now dictate the will of an entire state&#8230; mob rule wins! With a radical in the White House and hardened supporters in the Senate one would think you could go to the last line of defense the Supreme Court! That is no longer an option.<\/p>\n<p>You see in the nations complete stupidity the majority never realized the next POTUS will be appointing, at the least, 2 more Supreme Court Justices. The new media FAILED in EPIC proportions to ever point this out!! I tried to alert many on this but was ignored, so your ignorance is your undoing Ameri<strong>K<\/strong>a.
