"Yes, it's the fall of Rome all over again..."

You are right, well said.

Talking to some friends the other day about the state the nation is in and one said something like, "well, I think it will hold together long enough for me." In other words, she didn't seem to care that it might disintergrate after she died... just that it held together long enough to see her thru. It's the ME, ME, ME attitude. Our ancestors sacrificed, sometimes all they had, in order to leave us a legacy of freedom, but are we willing to sacrifice anything to pass on that freedom to our grandkids? I asked her that very question, and she shrugged and said, "that's not my problem".............. sad, very sad indeed!

I ran across this great quote by Bruce Bartlett (a senior fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis)

"In the old days, miners brought canaries down into the tunnels to detect methane. The birds were more sensitive to the deadly gas and worked as an early warning system. When they died, it was time to get out. For conservatives, Sen. Edward Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, is like a canary. When he starts supporting their initiatives, they should get out.... Therefore, it is significant when Mr. Kennedy supports a Republican initiative, as he has done in the case of the prescription drug bill working its way through Congress."

Thats a great quote, and how true. Kennedy was on the airwaves this weekend touting this as a down payment. These people are thieves and not the kind of company you want to bargain with.

And count me very worried when I hear President Bush tell a Labor Day audience that he's looking for a jobs czar

Whenever I see the word "czar" in connection to a gov't program, I see "failure."
