Interestingly enough, Ronald Reagan won over most of the "Archie Bunker Americans," when he was elected in 1980. After 4 years of what would have been the Mike Stivik choice for President, Jimmuh "the Pious" Carter our parents, our greatest generation, figured it out, giving Reagan back to back victories? Common sense trumped ideology.

Making the cuts that are necessary? That's seriously doubtful from my prespective. That would be just too difficult to give a coherant defense and keep on message for "Job 1."

So, what is "Job 1?"

In the only political science class that I took in college, "Job 1" for the politician was defined as getting re-elected during the next cycle. Let's face it: Congressional Representatives brag about the money they "bring home to their districts," not how much they are going to cut from our future obligations - too few people understand that concept.

Because "Job 1" is so important, we rarely get citizen representatives that serve and go home. The only place that works in the armed services.

It's time for a constitutional amendment defining TERM LIMITS and retrocatively limiting pay and retirement benefits for all members of Congress.

John you left out Phillip Savelle's (Visual Bible International) "The Gospel of John." At 181 minutes, it is a direct translation of the Gospel of John from Today's English Version of the Bible (the Good News Bible for those of us old enough to remember it being called that).

GOD Bless You, General Lee!

Take 1 principalled soldier and put him in a place where he MUST choose the lesser of two evils - Fighting for the country/government he loves or fighting for the friends/family/neighbors he loves. Lee decided that the fovernment overstepped its bounds and he would have to oppose it.

Taking the sons of the rag-tagged farmers and frontiersmen that won the Revolutionary War (in the South) some 80 years earlier, Lee gave the war his best shot against an industrialized North. Out gunned, but rarely out smarted, he kept lesser Generals busy for years. Finally defeated, he surrendered with dignity, only to be labelled as a traitor, have his ancestoral home, family name and citizenship removed from him.

Many know that Lee lost his citizenship (recently restored 135 years after his death). Fewer know that his ancesteral home Arlington was confiscated to become a National Cemetary. Fewer still remember Lee as a Union General, up to 1861 and a successful soldier in the campaign from Veracruz to Mexico City. And a small number might recognize his father, "Light Horse" Harry Lee as a Revolutionary War hero.

Strange. My oldest is already starting to receive college literature and he's only in the 8th grade! Sheltered rightwing nest? No way! As long as their are Leftwing Do-Gooders who are so sure that our children are not socialized, sheltered, and under educated. They see and understand what is happening around them. Actually, in NC, we must test every single year to advance and eventually graduate. In science classes, we discuss theories of Intelligent Design and Survival of the Fitest. Flunking out of college? It's always possible but less likely with the homeschooled, as they have already learned how to research and study independently. Mental institutions? Nope, they've never gone to or graduated from one.

A liberal, hardly. A LIBERATOR, definitely and to those who sought to persecute him to his death, an insurrectionist.
