Yes, it is easy to become disillusioned at times like this. I sometimes feel that way myself. But if this great nation is to survive I don’t think I – or we – can give in to it permanently. We have to keep trudging on and keep some measure of hope in our hearts. And we have to reach out a hand to those who have given up and help them go on as well.

Speaking of HRC – she wanted to help the 9/11 First Responders among her many good works.

I HOPE that a few of those billions in the StickittoUS Plot goes to First Responders’ (and other unlucky folks at Ground Zero) medical bills.

I am disgusted with the way PBO bought control of this country. His whole regime is now about silencing opposition and for some insane reason, the media is complicit.

Who will save US from Chicago politics?

FYI – Found an article on The Washington Post (WaPo) this a.m. on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s visit to Asia off under “World New”, where you have to scroll down to the bottom half of the screen under “More World News”: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/16/AR2009021600829.html

Seems they put in a dig against former President Bill Clinton on so-called “Japan passing” over ten years ago.

Q. Is it just me, or do you all get a sense that WaPo and other Main Stream Media (MSM) are minimizing and marginalizing SOS HRC’s visit, burying the story on the back page, because they don’t want her to upstage her boss, POTUS BHO?

Appreciate your response. And, Happy President’s Day! (Except I see SOS HRC, hear her speak, and am reminded: She should have been POTUS HRC.)

I probably need to watch that too! Hugs!

So while noveau riche Soertoro/Obama is dazzled by all the free goodies and flitting around trying out all his new vacation spots in his spiffy new real Air Force 1, We the People will be doing the same thing we’ve been doing for the last decade, staying alive in a political system that we are no longer considered a part of – unless they need tax money or new bodies for war.

Cynical? Sure. But there are no great men like Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin to save us. Just one arrogant and inexperienced man who believes he’s everyone’s messiah; who is in debt to every politician he meets and owes his soul to Big Business. But we will survive because governments rise and fall but they leave behind the People they tried to controlled.

A friend of mine had a koala come wandering into their yard. Those fires are horrific and the brave firefighters are nothing less than heroic.

My reference was to Gen. Sherman sparing Savannah from burning.

I don’t understand folks starting with a faulty premise and jumping off into LALA Land – HOWEVER well meaning.

You wouldn’t want drugs researched that way or medical treatments. The Space program never would have gotten off the ground.

It’s what gets US nightmares like Stretch and PBO – gross Media creations of the worst kind like W.

How long until Pelozi pays OBambi her homage and proposes that with just a simple majority she can give OBambi a right to run forever, either him or Michelle or a combination of both.

2 billion for ACORN or is it 4 billion?

You are exactly right…we have been through difficult times many times over. Most of us do not remember them:

The Civil War
Attack on Pearl Harbor
The Great Depression
slavery
various plagues and epidemics of disease outbreaks, the Stock Market Crash
WW I
WW II
Vietnam War
Korean War

We have endured crooks, liars and theives. But our country has not survived in spite of them. It has survived because we have alot more good people in this world than bad ones. Just remember one thing…Good will ALWAYS win over evil-ALWAYS.

And if we can survive all we’ve been through in the past, we sure as hell can overcome the Jim Jones Kool Aid Revival!

You can certainly disprove the rest, but 0mama can not be explained, can he, Julie? He is the very worst thing to ever happen to US politics. The wrong man at the worst time being run by Nancy Pelosi. Great plan that was, eh?
