We're Not Republicans or Democrats - We're Americans!
I apologize for not answering all of the wonderful comments the past few days. Please know that I read them all and appreciate the feedback.
I just spent 2 hours and 24 minutes watching the following video. It is chilling! I also have spent another several hours checking on the credentials of the people featured. I checked up on the references to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, HR 645, and updated information on the C.F.R., and Clergy Response Team. I have an expanded reading list that will probably take the rest of my earthly existence to read.
Nothing I saw or heard on this video was a surprise. I was blessed to have a very smart and well-educated mother who was a master at "connecting the dots." Since she died before the advent of the internet, she did the best she good with the information she could access, and she did a great job.
I grew up knowing that FDR was not the "savior of the world", that welfare was dehumanizing, and that both Social Security and Medicare were traps of dependency. I've known for many decades that countless generations of people have been dumbed-down and indoctrinated through our government-run schools.
I fear that we, as conservatives, lovers of the freedoms given to us from our God, have fallen prey to a sort of mass hypnosis. We have ordered our lives by means of "sound bites" and snippets of information. We have become our own worst enemy. We have forgotten the message in order to expand our hit counter, with little regard for what is truly important.
We are engaged in a war. Only the great "unwashed" can save our way of life. We need to pull our collective heads out of the sand, raise ourselves to the highest level of discourse, and proceed to defeat the forces of darkness that surround us.
Please take a few hours to watch this video if you can. Try skipping the "Great Race" on TV and not concern yourself with who is going to be the next greatest model. Blow off "Survivor", and skip the next NCAA tournament. These are diversions of the lowest order. Choose your reading material with care, but still take time to check on what our enemies are saying. A few quick trips to some liberal or socialist sites should clear up any misunderstanding you may have on this subject. Encounter first hand what our current "culture" has wrought.

Quote of the Day provided by my friend, Mark in Spokane
"For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it." Patrick Henry (1736-1799), American statesman and founding father.
Palate cleanser:
Reaganite Republican has done his usual great job with bringing us some TGIF fun with his Naked Power Grab edition. We thank him from the bottom of our wee little hearts...
