"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
I was listening to the TV from the other room. When Obama came on I went and changed the channel.
It got a little too preachy for me. He sounds like he is trying to be Martin Luther King Jr.

You can't spell Liberals without Lies.
When the crowd started chanting, it kind of reminded me of films I have seen of rallies from the late 1930's and early 1940's.

You guys don't have much besides bitterness, sour grapes and negativity, do you?
When all is said and done, Obama is a politician. His acceptance speech was vanilla. Everything he says between now and January will be vanilla. That is just what politicians do.

If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
Imagine what good we can do if we all joined together, united as followers of Christ - M. Russell Ballard
Havent seen any bitterness.
And of course we have sour grapes and negative viewpoints. We are about to see the nation we love destroyed, possibly past the point of no return.
The Supreme Court may be destroyed for generations. The Coal industry may be destroyed. Union thugs will be allowed to pressure people to unionize. Drilling won't happen. Illegals will likely get amnesty. And we are all in for a major tax hike.
What the hell do we have to be upset about?
