I don’t even want to imagine that scenario. It’s what Obama would really like to see happen though.

I was thinking about Terry Lakin. How much was this country worth to him? It was worth $800,000 of his personal money, 6 months in prison, and he and his family’s livelihood.

Wow. I stand in awe and shame.

It’s easy for me to say that my contribution is my time; let somebody else give their treasure and their sacred honor. But it doesn’t work that way. In the crisis we’re in right now, where the very existence of America as we know it is on the line, we either spend our time, treasure, and sacred honor now to save America, or America is gonng die while we still have money in the account but no America left in which to spend it.

If we lose the ability of conservatives to band together to effect change, this country will be lost. And we know that’s what Obama is trying to accomplish right now. To really undo the damage of the last 2 years we need the next election to be just like the last one. That can’t happen if places like Free Republic shut down. It’s now or never.

Those wiling to sacrifice time, money, honor or their very lives are heroes and heroines and we need more ordinary people, what to speak of public figures, to stand up. Each can only do what they voluntarily decide they can do; but everyone can do something.

Even if it’s just writing letters and hitting the keyboard; something. You and others have done phenomenal research, and that’s very, very important work.
