Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction, It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. Knowing this, it is hard to explain those who even today would question the people's capacity for self-rule. Will they answer this: if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? Using the temporary authority granted by the people, an increasing number lately have sought to control the means of production, as if this could be done without eventually controlling those who produce. Always this is explained as necessary to the people's welfare. But, "The deterioration of every government begins with the decay of the principle upon which it was founded" [Montesquieu]. This is as true today as it was when it was written in 1748. Ronald Reagan, California and the Problem of Government Growth, January 5, 1967

Wow.

Let’s also write letters to editors to remind folks who the obstructionists are.

When the righteous rise up the devil’s own slink back into
the darkness they came out of!

Let these House Republicans who stood up and stood tall be
counted among the righeous! They are the only brave souls left in that godless congress!

Thanks! My husband just got home from work and said, “Did you hear what’s going on in Congress!?!” I had to be taking a nap just when the blasted Congresscritters finally DO something!

If they had shown that backbone in 2005 and 2006 they would still be in control of Congress.

None-the-less I am glad that they finally grew a spine and hope it continues to grow.

I am proud of them.

I’ve been home for an hour, booted up FR and read the news. Nothing, absolutely nothing on TV news about this. I only left FOX a few minutes to go through the news channels and still nothing on any channel. Hopefully Brit will have something.
