The liberal Senators and Congressmen are intent on dismissing the will of the majority of people in America. I have heard that the calls going into Washington were something like 1,000 to 1 AGAINST that bill!!
What does this tell us? It's unmistakably obvious.
There is a monumental disconnect between these elected officials and the American people that they are supposed to be representing!
I haven't done the proper research for this yet, but I am willing to bet that most of the 9 or 11 "blue dog" Democrats who voted against the wasteful spending are probably freshman representatives. They are most likely fiscal conservatives, too. They obviously haven't been corrupted by the Washington earmark gluttony that wreaks of the stench brought about by the lobby-frenzied, pay to play machine!! Let us hope and pray that they don't catch the disease.
Here are a few brief excerpts from Mr. Keyes latest post. He starts out with a comment from "Ed" that basically concludes:
In our battle to advance Reagan Conservatism how does promoting Christian morality help our cause?
At the Loyal to Liberty blog, Mr. Keyes lists and explains five tenets of conservatism. Here is just the list. Please read the explanations of each tenet Mr. Keyes blog.
1. The preservation of Freedom.
2. Securing the blessings of liberty.
3. Establishing limited government.
4. Promoting respect for law.
5. Preserving the moral basis of freedom.
Easy quiz. How many of these tenets do you think agree with basic Christian beliefs? Answer: all of them!
Lots of great information in the entire article! I especially appreciated the truth shared in this statement:
The real choice we face is between totalitarian government based ultimately on force, and self-government grounded upon respect for what is morally right.
So true today! Amen!
May we return to "self-government grounded upon respect for what is morally right" in America - just as our Founding Fathers intended!
