Seriously though, we can't afford to let the guard down.
I had always hoped that all of this was nothing more than political posturing ... to draw the marxists out into more and more obtuse thinking and actions. Perhpas it will in fact turn out to be so, which means it was a good peace of politicking
I would never make a good politician because I could never utter the words that I either agreed with or would let such a blatantly unconstitutional measure stand. I believe when you play politics with fundamental rights and principles ... sooner or later it catches up with you and paints you into a corner. I know it did at Klamath and that came very close to being a whole lot more than a "protest" before the tide changed and the tide turned ... but even then it is not over. The same conditions hang over those folks heads.
We need statesmen who stand firm, and we need a lot of them. Until somehow we get those numbers elected, we are going to have to live with far too many politicians (on both sides of the aisle) and hope we can keep enough conservative Republicans in there to influence them to do what is right.
Yep...that is called INTEGRITY. Not in most people's dictionary in DC. Heard an interview on Focus on the Family with Dr. Frist tonight. He seems to be a man of high standards.
God's grace to you and your family Jeff,
