As Mammy would say, “She looks like a mule in a horse harness.” (GWTW)

Since you asked….

The American people must find a way to institute congressional term limits. Our country is being destroyed by a congress who capitulates to ever increasing executive branch power while caring only for their corporate kickbacks at the expense of the American taxpayer. Palin was right on when she talked about corporate cronyism in her Iowa speech. Example, my South Dakota senator Mr. Thune voted yes on cloture in the recent senate vote on Obamacare repeal because he knew that the two largest hospital systems in the state had already poured millions of dollars into the roll-out and his loyalty was to them not his constituents, this must end to save our country. Congress members must be voted out for putting corporate interests ahead of the people that vote them into office. I will do what I can locally to help a true conservative who runs against him when he is up for re-election.

Next, and this is really difficult. Conservatives must find a way to show the low information voters that conservative ideas and principles are really what will bring them out of poverty instead of their enslavement to the democratic party. What do I mean by this? We all of us must help rebrand the conservative image by going out into communities where low information voters live and show by example how to live a life that has moral and economic meaning. Get people back to church ( every week) and encourage them to give of themselves to others even the poor have the ability to make contributions. Volunteer at soup kitchens and homeless shelters. In essence we must help those trapped by years of democratic handouts understand that they will be happier more economically stable people if they get out from under the government but we can’t just say it we have to live it and get out there with them.

Hate may be an effective motivator, but love of one’s fellow man is the only way to change behavior

But you didn’t quote me accurately.

I didn’t say hate is an efficient motivator, but hatred of evil, which is what the Godless Communist destroyers in the White House are.

My point remains intact even with your technical correction. You are free to hate the Obama’s as much as you like, but your hatred of them will not result in moving the country forward.

Well, you go ahead and see what kind of progress you get by showering love and kisses on the radical left.

see my post # 63…don’t believe there is anything about love and kisses for the left in there

hatred of the obamas on the part of conservatives didn’t seem to hinder his re-election did it?

BTW...it should be apparent to you that the difference between “hatred” and “hatred of evil” is far more than a technicality.

and it should be apparent to you that the answer to defeating evil, is never with hatred

It's got that sort of poof at the bottom that's very sort of billowy at the same time.

That's her butt.

As a seamstress....I cannot imagine how many yards of fabric it took to make that dress. 25 easily. Suits for a whole class room of first graders.
Where is the photo of Carol Burnett wearing the curtains?
