As I have said, we are a Nation founded by Entrepreneurs not by softies with their hands out. In fact, many who were sent to the Georgia colony came directly out of debtor’s prisons. It wasn’t that they were shiftless, they couldn’t find jobs that paid enough to pay their taxes and provide for their families. So when they hit Georgia, they hit it running and began their own little Cottage Industries.
And Cottage Industries grew into Major Manufacturing Corporations as a matter of course. Why have ten men each making one item a week when ten men doing specialized jobs could make twenty or thirty or more items in a week?
Unfortunately, FDR created an entire “classification” of persons known as “The Welfare Class.” This gave the elitists someone to look down on and in their turn, anyone with a dollar looked down on anyone who didn’t have a dollar (but did have a hand out looking for a handout).
But it was not always so. And THAT Spirit of America is what Sarah Palin brings to the table. You start small and you gradually build up and with hard work you’ve gone from hockey mom to Governor ‘the hard way.’
I’m a Dixiecrat or Blue Dog Democrat. I want my party back from these Socialists or else I want them to add the word “Socialist” to the Democrat Party and the rest of us Democrats need to start a “third” Party. Pelosi and Reid and Murtha and Dodd and Franks and Rangel are NOT Democrats. Just because someone calls himself a certain word doesn’t mean he has the attributes of that word. Pelosi can call herself a virgin all she wants, but we all know she’s been rode hard and put away wet by the looks of her.
As I type this I am hearing local radio reports of a college voting place having McCain voters 'roughed up'. Republicans are on the way to end it. I pray this is not true.
