The American Dream. I remember when those words and what they connote made me stand just a little taller, feel just a little bolder, speak just a little more assuredly. To me, The American Dream (yes, with a capital "T" on "the") meant that anyone--even me--had a chance to succeed, to build a business, buy a home, save for a rainy day, plan for a decent retirement, send kids to college, achieve whatever success one dreamed possible for oneself. If that meant financial success, yay! If that meant personal success, however you define that for yourself, yay! read the rest at Fuzzy Logic - excellent!

He's obviously a man of great good taste and discernment...Hello,
Wow, you're so pretty and going through your profile, I found some things that says we have in common. I have seen sunsets, sunrises, blue oceans, deep seas, lush forests, dense jungles, but nothing - not even these - could compare to the beauty that I see in you. I'm a beautiful hearted guy, who's in search of his soul mate and intends to find it here on this site, because I've heard a lot of success stories. I would love to correspond with you and see if we could work something out. Once again I must say God worked over time creating you. Lets keep in touch.
He might as well have suggested they also go back to the cotton fields...“I need everybody here to go back to your neighborhoods, to go back to your workplaces, to go to the churches, and go to the barbershops and go to the beauty shops. Obama to Congressional Black Caucus. September 18, 2010
Question:The Senate passed long-delayed legislation Thursday designed to open up credit to small businesses and award them with other incentives to expand and hire new workers.
Democrats won a 61-38 vote to pass the legislation, joined by two Republicans. The measure would establish a $30 billion government fund to help open up lending for credit-starved small businesses, cut their taxes and boost Small Business Administration loan programs.
While having a discussion with my pastor about this yesterday he echoed Matt's words almost exactly. And like Matt, I'm not playing games anymore. It appears lots of other people agree with me.We’re being told to ignore our conscience during the primaries and choose candidates who we’re told can [win] in the general election. But why the heck shouldn’t I vote my conscience in a primary? If a majority of Republicans vote for a candidate they don’t really like what you’ll likely get is a candidate that nobody likes. read the rest
What is one to make of all the hubbub this Republican primary season? Most of the talk has centered around the tea party, Sarah Palin, Republicans in name only (RINOs), and the reaction of the Republican establishment. Well, there is much to talk about.
Those Archbold brothers are fired up and ready to fight!The Republican establishment has clearly been shocked by the rapid ascension and influence of the tea-party and more general tea-party sentiment during the primary season. And rank and file conservatives new to the political process have been shocked at the unfriendly welcome they have received in Republican circles. read the rest

It was a bit of a struggle whether to post the video or send you to The Lonely Conservative which in turn would send you to YouTube. That all seemed like a bit much to ask of my readers and so I decided to post the video to save you time. While I try to be very careful to not only give credit to other hard-working bloggers for content they produce, I also want to make sure they receive the page hits they deserve. On the other hand, I also know that Karen at The Lonely Conservative is more concerned with spreading the message than obsessing over her page hits.Yesterday morning I attended a prayer breakfast for the purpose of video taping the event. What I saw was a politician who climbed down off the stump and spoke with a clear message. With a clear and profound understanding of the American Spirit Marco Rubio, just days after the death of his father, shared a vision of the past, the present, and the future of America. In this gathering for the rememberance of 9/11 it was moving to be reminded of why we are here and what makes America different.
My wonderful computer guru was here to clean up the old beast and it's running like a spring chick and my new Logitech mouse, with a functioning wheel, is better than sex (almost ). However, somehow my Adobe Flash player disappeared. I remember having a nightmare of a time installing a flash player with Firefox many years ago. Nothing has changed!
The TBF poll in a nutshell: This is a poll designed to promote rising conservative stars. At the end of the week, the winner will be promoted by a network of over 80 conservative blogs and will receive a flurry of contributions from patriots across the country.

I'm sure there is much I have missed but I'm headed out to Montana for the day. Have a wonderful weekend...Or he's just spinning. After all, what else is he going to say? "Gee, I've run the country into the ground." I doubt it.
Do not underestimate Obama and the Democrats. Republicans and conservatives are doing well right now, and are building momentum for November. But the Democrats aren't stupid -- ideologically blinded but not stupid. They know what's coming and they have the capacity to respond. Remember as well that the Left plays the long-game. And their long-game right now is the transformation of the American economy into a European style social democracy. Keep that in mind when looking at their statements and their policies.
