thank you. it has been kinda of depressing on FR. So many Freepers are saying it is over. Really look at America - in its infancy it went through the Revolutionary War and all seem lost for a time, it turned around and America became a fledgling nation. In 1812- 1814 there was another conflict hat nearly destroyed the fledgling republic. Civil war tested Americas resolve. WWI and the influenza epidemic that struck the USA caused for some difficulties.The depression that lasted really to the end of the war and few years after, because of the movement from a wartime to peaceful economy. The Attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent WWII caused for heartaches. in the 1980s and 1990s America went through a headaches and heartaches. Yet America rose up and unfortunately the liberals may have won but they have not conquered America yet.
There will be coming a purging of the Obama Administration in the USA.
Yamato stated in regarding The Attack of Pearl Harbor - The Awakening of a Sleeping Giant.
Obama has woken up the sleeping giant Conservatism, Constitutionalism and American Values and Principals. It is the time to get off the duffs and stop feeling sorry for the loss. Wipe the dirt off the backside, pick you self and move forward. Start locally, go after the deadbeats in politics at the City (local), state and than federal levels.
Yes get in the face of the politicians step up the fight and bring it on. Stand up to the Craptastic Government. On novemeber 23 instead of the focus on shopping, focus on getting out a looking how to change the area you live inby going out a viewing what is happening.
for example a number of people where I live went after the City to deal with the Blight Issue. Guess what the Blight issue being resolved ended some of the long term County Supervisors to lose their cushy jobs. the new county supervisors are now telling the City Administrations to get in line with the State laws. make cuts in the union benefits or face the issue of emergency management of city goverance. This is in the UP of Michigan.
keep this in mind this Benjamin Franklin quote - He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
I remember hearing that in 2008, too. We had one big flourish with a limited, off-year electorate in 2010, but way too many stayed home Tuesday. The majority seems OK with this fetid mess.
