75 Years, A Bit of Wisdom Learned
One of my favorite writers has reached 75, a black man from the Jim Crow south, Thomas Sowell. He is also a staunch conservative and in no way a sellout to his community. I hope he has at least 25 more to give us. He, Armstrong Williams, Larry Elder, Star Parker etal are some of my favorite conservative writers, all black. And I adore Dr. Rice! I have a major problem with the 'victimhood' disease that is rampaging this glorious nation. I am proud to say I am not a victim of my circumstances instead I chose to fight those lots in life.
Update: A lost sheep has found Christ ! Hallejuhah! And a healthy strong lamb she is!

Sheepdog,On third parties, I voted Perot twice and helped put Clinton in power, skipped 2000, voted GOP ever since, joined and got active this past election. Michael Medved puts it best by arguing that instead of wasting your time,talent and money on a doomed candidate, work for the GOP candidates that come closest to your thinking as we have done since the Gingrich revolution and it is working. The GOP talent pool is deeper than ever, look at the men we put in there last race. Folks like Dr. Tom Coburn and John Thune, a particularly tasty victory there, are who we need to working for, Rick Santorum is going to need help for example, a needed con. voice. I too like the Constitutional Party plank and wish they would just join the GOP and make it stronger from within, they have some good minds over there, but they don't stand the proverbial snowballs chance at winning, they just sap conservative independants and swing voters from the GOP. Work from within, my fiery friend, just as the socialist left has worked from within to take control of the DNC. It is the folks we put in congress that make the laws, confirm appointments and give us a voice. Believe me W is on GOP leaders to get stuff done and now with one possibly two SCOTUS appointments up, the Senate is going to be to busy for the bellicose speeches of Kennedy and co. to be tolerated by the people. Don't go chasin' rabbits now Sheepdog, your job is with the flock,
Happy Birthday America !

I hear you guys and know exactly what you mean. Borders,spending and the Courts need to be controlled, the tax code and SSI need reforming and the retoric from the DNC leadership and a few RINOs is appallingly idiotic and quite odious. It gets repeated and repeated by the MSM till it starts to sink in and effect the masses.The president as you know has little power to enact change by himself, he can offer proposals that have to go through Congress. An exaple is David Dreyer's "Real ID" act which create counterfiet proof social security cards as a form of national ID, conservatives don't like the privacy aspect and liberals don't like not being able to fake one. This would go a long way to solving the problem, and allow the IRS to turn employers into BICE that file faulty W2 forms. There are many things that can be done that must go through our local representatives as well. I just don't think we should lay the blame for DNC obstructionism on the GOP. That drug boondoggle we can however.
This is exactly the grassroots type of commentary I desire. Us consevatives do need to bang some dents out of the bucket so it carries more water. I joined the GOP for the reasons listed earlier. I see conservatisms best chance is working through the GOP.Personally I love the Constituional Party's platform, but I want to win elections as we continue that steady upward progress, real progress, not socialist fascism.Climbing a mountain is hard work with careful consideration to each foot and hand placement and a dedication to progress and safety. Climbing sanely means acting on things real and often gut percieved. From my personal observance the GOP is climbing smart and clean while the DNC is chipping holds and drilling bolts, both taboo to climbers.
