To: Morgan in Denver
Good for you Morgan! We've tolerated way too much in this country and it's why we have the mess we're in. For one thing, we've dramatically lowered the bar of expectations when it comes to personal responsibility and accountability. We've turned a blind eye to political correctness (moreover, cowered into silence out of fear) and we've let politicians run amok with all they have been entrusted.

When I hear folks say that it's time to take our nation back, I understand what they mean. They don't mean back to the dark days of racial strife, but to a day of personal responsibility, common sense decision-making, behavior/comportment, etc., and especially as it deals with fiscal matters. I would venture to say that most here live within our means, pay our bills, care for our families, etc. Why should the same not be expected of our local, state and federal governments?

But, alas, I fear we'll not get back there, because politicians are weak, half or more of the American populace is now overly dependent on goverment, and those of us who are not have been so brow-beaten down, that we feel all too often like throwing our hands up and say, "what's the use!" Anyway...'nough said on my part!

Naw, keep on saying it. Over and over until more people “get it.”
