I share your disappointment.

I heard John Fund, in an interview on FoxNEws yesterday, bring up the ACORN complicity in this, and their possible benefit in any bailout. He was shut down pretty quickly, and I haven't heard it mentioned again on 'fair and balanced' Fox.

I think I'll have a talk with the Texas governor to see if we can get the ball rolling on a trial separation.

We'd miss your lovely state, but I wish you well nonetheless! :)

Government is no longer the main problem, it's also a symptom. A symptom of more and more people who are, at their core, lazy greedy and immoral, and therefore elects politicians who will promise whatever, go with the flow, and not stand up for the Constitution, and limited government.

Bears constant, drumbeat repeating.

I am positioned to take advantage of the brief 'euphoria', and then I'm out.

That's what many of the people that understand this problem are saying - basically, 3 days after and gone.

I’m afraid the circulation is going to b e limited to those of us who are enlightened to hang out in Jim’s neck of the web...

I agree. It's preaching to the choir, but there is little interest in a piece like this out in the mainstream media, other than in conservative publications -- and that, too, amounts to choir preaching.

I have shamelessly stolen your article and sent it far and wide (with attrib). So sue me. It won't matter much if we lose.

I am trying to find the piece -

Beware, the quiet man, with ineer fire buring,
when passion flames so bright.....

I’ll find it - just the reference escapes me right now....

A new President is not going to fix this or make it go away; it’s too late for the fire department; time to bring in the bulldozers and roll-offs, Im afraid.

Must step away from the computer for a few hours, but will return later tonight.

Thank you all for the valuable, insightful input!

This “crisis” represents nothing but one crack in the dam. It’s not the dam as a whole, and it’s not the water behind the dam.

The dam consists of the moral principles upon which our free republic utterly relies; those things which hold back tyranny, slavery and poverty; and the sovereignty of the American people.

How many cracks in the dam the whole structure can bear is only a matter for speculation at this point. But, at some point in time known only to God the dam will fail, the mass will be swept away, and the resulting destruction will be swift, unstoppable, and complete.

“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” - Psalm 11:3

Folks need to stop supporting the guys with the jackhammers who are causing the cracks.

I see you're a Texan!

Our son had the wisdom to move to Texas & start his career...(has met a lovely young Texan lady) ...

....I think I'd like to belong to that great state when the bad happens...if & when it happens.

Texans don't give up!

The sad truth is that “the wisdom of the American people” is a myth. Obama will be swept into power because Americans are clueless about their history and are no longer taught the value of freedom.

If the choir is singing off-key, or standing there silently, cowed by fear, or even singing from the devil's sheet music, maybe they need a sermon, eh?

“A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he papeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague.” Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roamn Orator - 106-43BC.
