Looking Ahead

Well, what's done is done and can't be undone.

Time to look ahead folks. We can be confident that BO will screw up, let's take back Congress in 2010 like we did under Slick Willy. Let's look for a strong candidate to run in 2012. Let's really make BO another Carter.

We've suffered fools, crooks, and worse in the big chair before, we'll survive this too.

I'm thinking it's totally done. Charges of election fraud and the requirement for a vault copy of his birth certificate are just going to go quietly away.

As for me... I will continue to bring folks around to our way of thinking. I usually start with the range but Dave Ramsey is good too (for those in financial straits who are Christians or open to Christianity).

MY company offers the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace class to employees, their spouses, and their teenaged children free, all you have to do is sign up, and show up for the classes. It's probably helped my financial situation as much as the company contribution to my 401k.

this is what i posted on another forum...
ill be the first to say that i dont like Obama... but i have a huge respect for the office and for his election to that office... and i will support his endeavors so long as he is following his oath to uphold and protect the constitution...

the enormity of his election should not be lost on any of us...

now, we all must step toward the future with him as our leader... if we disagree with him, fine... let him know it loudly and repeatedly...

if we agree with him... even better... he will only be a better leader if we are behind him...

it might not be the best hand we have ever been dealt, but it is the hand before us... so let us not forget that... let us embrace it and play the cards accordingly.

Keep in mind also, that as far as they are calling it now the Dems didn't get the 60 seats they were seeking in the Senate. Everyone here that has a GOP Senator needs to get really laud about filibusters whenever some of this crazy stuff comes up to help minimize the fallout of Pelosi and Reid feeling emboldened by both Obama's win and their expansion of seats in both houses.

Goals -
- seek a non-geldling conservative candidate for 2012.
- ditch RINO's and democratic congressional candidates for 2010.
- support the office of the President, but keep the harsh eye of criticism on his butt.
- remind him that he lost the popular vote often, so his butt better be ready for compromise.
- thank that Adam's apple endowed Coulter for her magnificent support of McCain, but preferably where no tire irons are present.

I am pondering.
I am pondering if I should take what I can and run or if I should call my Republican committee and ask how I can get involved.

I'm damn scared, only because I feel as though I am a hair's breadth from losing my current job - I work for a small home cleaning company that serves some of the local real estate tycoons and orthopedic surgeons, and some of them have already begun tightening their belts. We have morning and afternoon time slots in a 2 week cycle--20 slots, not all presently filled. One client who takes up one slot has already dropped our services a couple months ago because of the crunch. Another did so temporarily for about a month a bit earlier. A major client that we serve four days a week (almost half the entire business) is murmuring about cutbacks. I was really hoping I'd be able to get a car by the end of the year and move out of my parents' house, and start practicing the independent lifestyle I advocate. Now thanks to the impending shift in national economic policy, I'm even less sure about how I'm going to be able to proceed with my life.

I have a good idea what should be done. The problem is that I am not in a position to do it by myself. I've spent the last four years of my life with a minor obsession over the K-12 education system trying to figure out how it really should be done, because something is dreadfully wrong with it. A systematic indoctrination into a philosophy of individual independence, rather than against it, is precisely what needs to be done to counter Gramsci and Ayers.

On a good note, the Illinois 18th Congressional District elected Aaron Schock to the House of Representatives. He's not quite a gun nut, but has always happened to be one of the people initiating bills for CCW in Illinois. I think he'll be as good for federal policies on guns as he was with state ones.

I'd hoped that Richard Durbin would lose tonight, but when his opponent barely appeared anywhere downstate you wondered just how serious the guy really was.
