Yeah, I understand freedom. And Liberty. And self-government. And all the other wonderful things God created for us (including marriage and children and family) and what our Founding Fathers fought a revolution for and created a new constitutional republic to defend. And I know what has transpired in the last two centuries to erode it away. Why in the world do you think I started FR?
What I miss most is "leadership." Many of our problems would be somewhat alleviated by a true leader, who had a good understanding of our founding principles. For example, I would love to hear some form of the following from our President:
"Your parents cared for you for twenty years; open up your wallets to help them purchase drugs...it's the moral thing to do. Those of you who expect your neighbors to pay for your parents' drugs should be ashamed.
Those (including businesses) who fail to fully understand what made this country great; and who continue to undermine it should be literally called out and shunned; and that goes for MANY issues. Reagan did a pretty good job of it...he understood the bully pulpit and used it well.
The American people continue to send good conservatives to the House of Reps; but the liberal Republicans at the RNC have the $$ and, seemingly, control over the executive branch. We need an alternative national group to the RNC, to support conservative House, Senate, and Presidential candidates..that's the only way to get control back from the "establishment"....whatever THAT is.
