Is there any hope for our Republic? Is this the beginning of the end?

The beginning was long ago. And it started gaining momentum when we (the Republic) decided it was OK to waste American lives and capital on foreign soil without the goal of winning.

Korea, Viet Nam, Gulf I, Gulf II, and a few other minor/lessor incursions in between.

It has been accelerated by Ben Franklin's prediction that the Republic could only survive until people came to believe they could "vote" themselves anything they wanted. Because the people have and the politicians have become a permanent class by promising all things to all people.

The good news is that many of us understand not to put our faith in "men" for we will always be let down.

Salvation comes to those who place their faith, properly, in the Lord. And no, I am not a Bible Thumper. But as I age and yes even mature, at times, that fact has become my only and greatest solace.

I think God has allowed this night to happen. It is not the end....there is a purpose in all of this and we need to be open to receive the message. If the GOP is to be the party of light and inspiration we need a good soul searching and refocusing on the principles for which it is to be built upon. We need GOP leaders with spines and convictions...ready to fight and do what is right for the nation. Too many phoney leaders posing as conservatives. Not all but a lot were. Lets go foward with confidence to rebuild.

Of course there is. Just look at Billybob, for one thing.

Rove keyed into voters who want security. The only problem is that once they felt safe from Osama, everything else they wanted was a RAT issue.

We are the people (not yet the party) who want to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

Let's get busy.
