This has been my gripe from the beginning. It also applies to the RNC and all the Republicans in the faux legislature we have in DC.
Although, I believe that fear has also played a major role in the unwillingness of "mainstream conservatives" to speak out on the questionable legitimacy of Obama.
In any case, regardless of what happens to Obama, the Republic is DEAD. Not on life support. It is not coming back. And people can't prepare for what is coming if they can't admit that.
IMO this happened the night of Big Ears win. The seeds were set by the Klintoons & Bushes. He just tied the rope around us all. Watch what happens during the lame duck period. Be afraid - be very afraid.
I think Anne’s perspective is misguided here.
The word ‘profit’ has become unpopular among some sects and is now getting noticed by the thought police. Those in the know are replacing the word ‘profit’ with the word ‘value’.
One creates ‘profit’ becomes one creates ‘value’.
Anne, it is not necessarily dishonest to create ‘value’ and to use the feedback (= traffic) to measure if the value is consumed and appreciated.
So Anne, please get over your hangup and start creating ‘value’ just as Beck, Limbaugh et al. create value, and indeed they do.
Anne, you can be true to your principles and still be a gazillionaire. Jesus said to a rich man “go and sell all you own, and then follow me”. This was said not because Jesus is against people being rich, but because people must not let their wealth control them.
So Anne go ahead and be rich but remain true to yourself. And remember Jesus also taught the Parable of the Talents of which the gist is you better take your gifts and blessings that God endowed you with and make a profit with then...uh...create ‘value’ with them. It’s your responsibility to prosper.
No vows of poverty here. Work hard and get rich, it’s the American way.
