Given the tenuous employment environment, I cannot see why anybody would purchase a home now. Traditionally one has needed to stay in a home for more than five years to make paying the closing costs worthwhile. Then, should one need to move for employment, one must be able to sell the home. These days that is much easier said than done.

Housing prices here in Rochester, NY did not rise as fast as the “big bubble” areas. They did not fall as much easier. As a distance runner, my training runs currently range from 5 to 15 miles and take me past several attractive, moderately priced homes that are for sale. I have run past these same homes all spring and summer and the homes just don’t seem to be selling. I suppose that one could really drop the price to get them to move, but I suspect few owners could afford to do so.

Yeah, and they are coming here to KY. They are building a mosque right next door to a Christian church. You never saw a muslim here before.

Its well past time to place some serious restrictions on immigration to the USA. When my great grandfather came here, he had to swear that he wasn't a polygamist (religious restriction) and swear that he wasn't an anarchist (political restriction)

I marvel at that scripture and others when I read them these days. They are so descriptive of the here and now.

As a Christian and a conservative living in Massachusetts, they provide real comfort!
