“I’ve been reading and posting here for ten years . . .”

. . . in which case I am *very* embarassed (and I apologize).

“but lately it’s been more off than on — as far as the posting.”

In that case, then, I am only embarassed
[as distinguished from “*very* embarassed”].

“I still read every day.”

Yes; neo’s blog is *must*-reading! Havagood . . .

Yet, they threw an innocent man in prison, blaming the attack on his video to cover their incompetence and lies.

If Clinton runs the Republicans should point this out again and again, but first they would have to grow a spine. They should replace the elephant with a jellyfish for the national mascot.

I’ve been reading and posting here for ten years but lately it’s been more off than on – as far as the posting. I still read every day.

Yeah, that’s the heart of the problem. Too many people go along with the mindset that the federal government is the answer for everything.

1. Thinking a strong, federal head of government can solve our political woes is a big part of what has gotten us into this mess. Our political system was configured for the strength to be local, with the federal level restricted to 14, explicitly enumerated (and limited) powers.

2. As great as Reagan was, Federal government still grew under his administration. I doubt we’ll see a Conservative leader with his abilities any time soon, but remember, even if we had a second coming of Reagan he would be unable to change our course. Without a citizenry motivated to take back their rights at a local and state level all a President can do is slow the rate of expansion.

(Only now back at the ol’ laptop.)

You and I are not quite on the same page, but we’re in the same chapter. Good enough! Welcome aboard (I’m not sure I’ve seen your posts here much before).

It’s Kabuki theater. Obama likely is not even taken aback. He’s played his role and he figures the left will write the history. Don’t worry, be happy. Fore and Forward for the rest of his life.
