Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

It was a sobering dinner party last night... Hosted by a London billionaire in his exquisite home...but the conversation between the ten of us was stone-cold serious...
"You know what my biggest fear is?" our host asked. "It's not really Obama, for what he's done is to accelerate what the liberals have been slowly doing for decades -- so quickly that their socialism is obvious to everyone. Which means the solution is obvious to everyone. My biggest fear is that voters will give Republicans the power to repair America on November 2nd -- and the Republicans won't have the courage to do it."

An excellent article about the future of our country.
It’s not long and well worth the time reading because it’s OUR future.
“... not going to win this by pessimism..”
we are up against stiff odds. Realism a/k/a “pessimism” is needed right now.
“... set up dorms ..”
Give them term limits!! All of their BS would pop - a balloon that needs to happen and soon or we’re screwed.
Commercial air travel only, except for an emergency session which would be by first available aircraft. But let's take Pelosi for example - she effective conscripted a US military jet for her personal use while she was Speaker. I missed where that was an enumerated power - but while I disagree in the first place with the conscription, I find it inexcusable that it was simply used to avoid using commercial air travel.
To put it more straightforward, I have far less objection to the Speaker of the House having the use of a military plane to travel from district to district to talk with members. But that wasn't the use, it was used to simply avoid using commercial air options - that's embezzlement. And the only 'police' to go after such abuse is the same body that elected her Speaker.
As a party Republicans are passing on Newt because of his imperfections while overlooking his assets that none of the other candidates possess while overlooking their imperfections.
“Then a well-known Hollywood producer raised his glass to toast his hero - Ronald Reagan. “We need him again,” he commented. I guarantee you’ve watched one of his TV shows.”
Ronald Reagan was the kindly and wise grandfather that many people never had, and played that role on a national scale. But our grandfathers die and we have to carry on without them. In 1995, the Republican Congress did much of what was needed and even got a reelection-minded Democrat to roll over on it. Newt Gingrich deserves our gratitude on that and I hope he becomes an advisor to the next President. I think all of the Republican candidates for President have the courage to do it, with the glaring exception of one high-profile candidate.
Thank you for the ping. Jack Wheeler is a very intelligent man. I’d read more of his stuff if it wasn’t behind a paywall (last I checked).
Will read shortly.
Everyone commenting sounds a fool.
... IMHO LOL!
We need 40 more conservative/Tea Party Representatives to control the House and absolutely, certainly bring an end to this horror.
That’s about 10% more seats.
That’s very doable.
But everyone’s ranting about the Presidency. OK, it’s too soon to give up on it.
But in two months or so your local GOP is going to present you all with Romney-clone candidates for your House seat and it will be too late for any of you to do anything- but more whining.
So get working now to get good candidates and save us all from socialism. And, most importantly, save me from listening to lazy losers whine.
Now I’ll read the posted article...
Hmmmm...I just told my wife the same thing this morning.
Every good teacher who loves their subject turns it into edu-tainment.
Franklin could do that, and Reagan.
And Newt, of course.
“...these TeaPartyers - may Jack be right about them. May they amputate fascism before the fascists amputate our freedom.”
Enjoyed the article.
The ‘Court Party’ can be stopped.
Welfare was cut by 50%. Does that mean anything to you?
Amen!
I agree; stop the whining. However, see post 58.
A lot of them will stay home this time because he will no longer be the FBP (first black president) and as an excuse to conceal their disillusionment. Meanwhile, if only our side had rallied the evangelicals alone, many of whom stayed home out of a misunderstood idea that politics are "of the world," we would have won the last election.
There's no time to waste, conservatives! Call your local Board of Elections or statewide GOP and get working!!
