It's time the squishy middle awakened and realized that we have a Marxist grad-student doing his best to kill private industry and replace it with a sugar-coated government substitute. The mainstream version is that Ben Bernanke is optimistic, but I prefer your straight talk, Alan.

Preach away, at all times, please, please, never stop.<br /><br />Preaching to the choir informs me, preaching to the choir inspires me, and that in turn leads me to become involved.<br /><br />We have had a lot of people that have been preaching to their own private circle of buddies in Washington DC, but they have not been speaking to me. <br /><br />Me and my choir friends are now out and about and looking for those preachers and finding out they do not hear us.<br /><br />Our numbers keep growing by the day. We are more informed and we are more inspired than ever, and our education is not coming from a truly disgraceful media. Our education is coming via common sense blogs that so eloquently express what we wish we could say effectively like this one always does, or institutes with experts via the internet like the Heartland, or Heritage or Cato.<br /><br />We have relearned that our friends do not lie to other friends, and can help us find where the truth is located,while our former sources of information lie about lies and than repeats them in sound bites.<br /><br />The choir has not heard it all, they will hear and learn more, because we are listening. <br /><br />When sanity reclaims it's place our new government will have new members that all come from our choir.<br /><br />Singing will be heard along with praises to the preacher.libertyforusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08584974436761909593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-72408887148528520262009-08-20T23:20:09.797-07:002009-08-20T23:20:09.797-07:00Good thoughts Alan.

They were also irresponsible when they controlled both Houses of Congress, especially the so-called moderates.<br /><br />Maybe they were so prepared to battle Hillary that they had no plan for Obama, but they sure passed on lots of opportunity to at least minimize the damage. So now we're fighting delaying action.J. L.

These people have the reins of power firmly in their grasp and they have a large contigent of supporters with lots of MONEY. Plus they are giving our money away at record levels to insure votes. The American Bar Assoc., the SEIU, the UAW, ad nauseum are not going down easily. Expressing our opinions on blogs is nothing more than preaching to the choir. Somehow, we as conservatives, have to find a way to get directly in the faces of our so-called representatives and yank 'em up by the stackin' swivels and let them know they are our REPRESENTATIVES. The GOP, RNC are not doing this. Michael Steele is Demokrat-lite. He's not going to make waves, and neither is the GOP. We're on our own here folks. We're down to really grass roots fundamental get the bastards out. I don't know if there's enough of us, but I'm doing all I can here in Oregon (a Blue State).<br /><br />BuzzGBuzzghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897676479222811119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-91117022113045433092009-08-20T17:03:39.273-07:002009-08-20T17:03:39.273-07:00A lust for power is exactly what it is.

I agree with Andy that you say it so much better than a lot of us! <br />One thing this one reminded me of is how the democrat power is making things hard on charity. It's never been the government's job to be charitable, and since so many people seem to forget America's Biblical roots- they look to the government for charity, not churches and private organizations for such help.<br />Since all the mess came down the past year or so, many charities are hurting for funding, and having a hard time providing for the needy. Even the latest scheme-cash for clunkers is taking a toll on charities which depend on old and used cars to provide transportation for the poor. It's rough all over, but power hungry people used to getting a free ride by "serving" seem not to care-<br />Thank you though for your hopeful words!
