We are all news hounds. Why else look around such places as Townhall and FreeRepublic? You wouldn't take the time to read this unless the subject interested you. I have been lazy about writing, but I have a lot to say.
This country, OUR country, is being attacked by the most insidious danger in our history. We are seeing wealth destroyed, and the "playing field" being leveled, in a downward spiral. Money is being printed like it has no consequences, and soon will be handed out for toilet paper. Who really is buying all those stocks that are making the markets rise? How can we pay for anything new, when we can't even pay for what THEY have already obligated US to pay?
I read the other day that the "American people" are on the hook now in excess of $13 TRILLION. Brilliant folk have been trying to explain that figure, but I'm too busy trying to justify paying $6 for a Whopper, a Coke, and fries. I remember when the "Golden Arches" were drive-ups, and they kept a running tab on their sign... "10 Million served". It cost 15 cents for a hamburger, and 18 cents with cheese. Gas cost 25 cents a gallon +/- and a Chevy was the way to see the USA. I liked Corvair's, and switched to VW's. (Gasoline prices are good for another posting.) Now Chevy is run by GUM'T MOTORS!
The latest Obamanation is this "Health Care" fiasco. I don't get it? Do Americans really expect the Gum't to pay for ANYTHING?Does anybody think GUM'T knows anything about SAVING money? Daily, we are getting DMV comparisons to our future if they win.

conflict. I spent time riding on a destroyer, destroying. After that, I spent years growing a family, doing things to make money, and educating myself, not all necessarily in order. I started my political life working for Bobby Kennedy. From there, I strayed toward the right more and more. As I paid more in taxes, I started looking more at how it is spent. This story isn't new to you, is it? Many of you rode the seas, or walked through the paddies. Most of us have kids and grands. We love them all.
We are at another crossroad in history. We have people in the highest Gum't positions taking down the goal posts and replacing them with mattresses on which to die. We have elected officials passing massive spending increases and gum't power grabbing, without bothering to take time to read their progeny, much less consider the implications. It appears to be a concerted effort to destroy the Capitalist America and replace it with a Socialist Amerika. There can be no other explanations.
The header is Sarah V. Barry. To me, Sarah Palin epitomizes what I look for in a politician. As a long time chauvenist, I had tears on my cheeks when I heard her speak at the election Convention. She stood there with head high, but not with a nose in the air. She looked at the people and spoke from her heart. She made clear where she wanted to see America headed. Unfortunately, her elder running mate wasn't on board for the trip. He has yet to see the light. But, he did introduce us to SARAH.
Many of us old farts see a pretty face and grin, just because. Lots of old guys crack jokes about their gals, and speak about "telling them " to "get me a beer". But, those of us smart enough, know who holds everything together in the face of adversity. We all know it's Mom.
I watched as Sarah's daughter Piper licked her fingers and stroked Trig's hair. More tears. It was just so damned cute. But, while my eyes were fuzzed, I couldn't stop listening to her Mom. She was speaking straight to me, and getting ALL my attention. Now, I know I wasn't alone. After the convention, she became the "White Knight", riding into town and drawing tumultuous crowds. Us commoners saw a figure rising above. She has continued to rise.
Sarah will not be Governor past tomorrow. She is not quitting, though. She has promised she is only getting away from those jerks costing her state's valuable resources with attempts to destroy her. She has spoken with authority about the changes she notes as wrong-headed. She is getting ready to run for President, I hope. She probably won't announce anything this year. Maybe she can help make changes before 2012, though.
Conservatives need a leader. WE need someone who will get on the TV and follow the (P)Resident, exposing his lies for what they will do to us. I am appealing to conservatives and liberals who love this country. WE need a concerted voice and effort.
You can start with joining SarahPac. It's not about money. It's about helping Mom clean house!
