My thanks to Obama, Reid & Pelosi

It occurs to me that I should thank our current President, Senate Leader, and Speaker of the House. It is thanks to them that:

Conservatives across the country are galvanized (i.e., "the Sleeping Giant" has woken up).

Millions of ordinary Americans are becoming politically active, many for the first time.

Millions of us are donating our time, energy, and resources into campaigning for conservative candidates, even in other states.

Millions of us are staying informed about what is going on in the nation's capital.

Best of all, millions of us have finally come to understand how fragile are the freedoms that we have taken for granted. Perhaps now we will see how important it is to stand for truth and freedom and justice and the rule of law in our land.

"Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith works endurance." James 1:2-3

"Liberty is not a matter of words, but a positive and important condition of society. Its greatest safeguard after placing its foundations in a popular base, is in the checks and balances imposed on the public servants." James Fenimore Cooper
