We need to get back to the basics. We are losing because the American Spirit is changing from enterprising individualism to dependency as a replacement for achievement.

We need to stop thinking a solution from the government is what we need to help.

We need to start changing hearts and minds. Neighbor by neighbor, block by block, city by city, church by church, school by school.

As long as people see dependency as a means to achievement, no change in government will change anything. Problems will just follow whomever splits themselves apart.

Politicians will always be politicians, they will pander to whom they think will give them votes and money. Until the public’s attitude is changed, nothing will change.

Bottom up, not top down.

The battlefield is where this will be decided. The two sides are not going to change the hearts and minds of the other. What is keeping the this powder keg from blowing?

I submit the "fun" part of socialism is over. The run on the Treasury was easy as taking candy from a baby. Spending $6 Trillion over 4 years was the "fun" part, now the so called greedy producers will pay the bill or else. We are are entering the "not fun" phase. Where we will start to actually feel the pain...
