Giving Up Is Not An Option

*****With the passing of each day, I am more convinced that the tactics of our new President and his minions is to wear us down to the point where we throw up our hands and declare surrender. Those of us who care about this country are being ground up like so much coffee, brewed, and discarded in the compost pile.

*****The speed with which President Obama wishes this "stimulus" (oh Lord, I'm sick of that word - it sounds skanky) bill to pass, tells any thinking person there is a big problem. This heap of entitlements and pay-offs to special interest groups will not only not help the economy, but will hinder growth for a very long time.

*****While we are focused on this bill, the President is moving around in the background doing great harm. His takeover of the census is dangerous and illegal, but it is getting little attention because most people think it's just about "counting people." It's not. The census numbers are used to gain political power, through redistricting and federal funding. Tweeking those numbers could mean a Democratic majority for many years to come. As hard as this situation is becoming to the sane people of this country, now is not the time to give up. Prayer and action are both needed.

Excerpt from Render Unto Caesar
by Archbishop Charles Chaput

*****The late historian Christopher Lasch saw that today, "it is [the leadership classes] - those who control the international flow of money and information, preside over philanthropic foundations and institutions of higher learning, manage the instruments of cultural production and thus set the terms of public debate - that have lost faith in the values" of the American experiment and Western culture in general. In their self-reliance and overconfidence, our "thinking classes have seceded not just from the common world around them but from reality itself."


Will The Media Stoop To Lying To Protect Obama?

It seems this nonsense from Sullivan about a GOP war on Obama is gaining traction. I've even read some media outlets that are beginning to sniff around it. Why not? It stinks!

Evidently they must come up with something as their newly crowned "messiah" appears to have been stumbling and fumbling his way around the White House since day one. read more
