Our future hinges on the word “enough”
Coach is Right ^ | 4/9/15 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Over the past six terrible years, collectively speaking we have been the “frog” in the well-known “boil the frog” experiment. In this maneuver a frog is put on a small pot that has been placed upside down in a lager pot to from a platform. A frog is placed on the platform and enough water in poured into the larger pot to cover half of the frog’s body. As an amphibian the frog is not alarmed and peacefully sits on the platform. Now the pot is transferred to a burner which has been lit to produce a very low flame. This is not enough to scare the frog so he sits there peacefully and happy until the water is hot enough to boil him to death. Next the dead frog is removed and a second frog is placed on the platform. He immediately jumps off because he is alarmed enough to recognize the danger of sitting in boiling water.

In many ways big and small we are the “boiled to death” frog. In regards to issues that are important to us; but unfortunately not important enough to cause us to “jump” out of Barack Obama and his Democrats’ pot of boiling water we’re just not alarmed enough.

We find ourselves in a perpetual state of angst and discomfort over the things Obama has done and is doing and promises to do, but we are not uncomfortable enough to want to do something. Yes enough of us have risen up and voted against Obama’s Democrats in 2010 and 2014 to seem to start setting things straight, but...

Too bad that American Congressmen are discovering how difficult it is to endure the patently irregular and criminally illicit precedent that they THEMSELVES introduced, while they sat still for ‘Obamacare’.

No one else could have put a stop to it … so no one else is to blame.

They make me sick… every one of them! THIS is what we elect them for? For shame!

Too True! Conservatives know the press will crucify those that turn down Obama and his lies.

It is hard to sell such actions to the few that must be willing to stand up and say STOP! NO MORE! NO one wants the spot light focused against them.
Let us unite behind the brave souls that do come out (likely Ted Cruz)

Pray for America, pray for peace and tranquility, with Thanks giving, and repentance. in Jesus name amen.
