For Those Who Want to Give Up….
This past weekend, the hubby and I went to Galena, IL for a little R and R. We both love history and Galena is steeped in Civil War history which boasts among other things, the location of Union general and 2-term US President Ulysses S. Grant’s home along with history of the 8 other Civil War generals, Civil War re-enactments, etc. We tromped through the history museum, the Dowling House, several mansions–my legs were throbbing by the time we left. Yes, we sure love history. The thing is, this double, triple dose of history gave me much pause to the sacrifice made by so many for freedom (I also thought a lot about Texas pondering succession and how if they did and B.O. got a second term, I’d move there…meanwhile the Dominican Republic is looking better and better every day).

Obama and the Dem’s lack of regulations on subprime lenders (even before he was elected). closing of Gitmo, the tax cheats in his cabinet, the stimulus packages, massive earmarks, Cap and Trade, lack of transparency, the lies and cheating, the Apology Tour, Sotomayer’s “hearing” and her spoken and unspoken inuendos about making policy from the bench and repeal of our second amendment, the loom of the worst health care plan in the history of our country, nearing 10% unemployment, a soaring deficit and after 6 months, we go on and on and on. There is no end in sight. We are facing a socialist take-over of our once free United States of America. I’ve called, I’ve written, I’ve faxed, I’ve Tea-partied.And our Founding Fathers are now spinning in their graves…
The progression of this misery seems almost biblical–like a chapter in Revelations. First the media destroyed the right by debasing and debilitating our last conservative president–George W. Bush. Unfortunately, he did not fight back. By the time elections came, the media and the majority Democratic Congress had maneuvered us into a no-win situation. Regulations had been thwarted by Obama and the other Democrats ELEVEN times and when Fannie and Freddie fell, Bush took the hit and B.O. was in a position to look like a savior. Again, the media did its dirty work and propped up his false accusations and promises. He won the election and the rest, I’m sorry to say, is history.
The frightening thing is that we have so little control. All we can do is write and fax and call. The legislators–yes even Democrats–are listening.

…And it isn’t just Republicans fighting these things in Congress:
But what can we do? I also work a 60-hour a week job. I’m exhausted and people, we are not even 1 year into the mire of this administration! “God help us!” has become a daily phrase. When I look at the garbage we’ve allowed to enter into our society and political system, why would God help us? We certainly don’t deserve it. But I will continue to pray, like hundreds (I hope millions) of others are praying. I have to admit, I feel like giving up. I think some ARE giving up, but people, our Founding Fathers, the men and women of so many wars including the American Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WW I and WW II did not give up, so how can we?
We have no chance of saving our country if we do.
We love Galena, too… it’s a fun little day trip.
Yes, even Dems are realizing that this guy is leading us to destruction. And, they like those cushy gigs in DC… they want to keep them.
Hopefully, they’ll start listening before it’s too late.

Love Galena as well, it’s been a long time since we’ve gone.
Great post, and I loved the cartoon. Some of us do need the encouragement.
Very glad to read about your trip to Galena this past weekend. Galena holds tons of history not only with those that have lived here, but what they have left behind. For anyone who has never visited Galena or Jo Daviess County, now is no better time. For more doses of history or for an opportunity to step back in time, visit galena.org and the Galena/Jo Daviess County Convention & Visitors Bureau
Hah! So funny you wrote, dear Galena. We loved your town!
Thank you, and people like you will keep the movement strong to flush the present administration down and get the Lysol out! People are getting disgusted and frustrated…even the obamamites… but the only place to find an avenue and resource of information is searching the deep corners of the internet. Is there anyway to get your blog famous??? Your information researched and creatively presented will keep people interested and motivated. Keep it up Nancy, you are making a difference that our children will celebrate.
We are all in this together. Lately, it is becoming obvious that “We the People” are rearing our angry and determined heads as displayed in this brief YouTube video: Enjoy fellow Patriots!

May I first say, THANK You, for your site, I am over-joyed I found you. It warms my heart to know that there are people in America who serve the real Mesiah, disregarding the notion that the Mesiah came to earth in the form of BO. He, BO, does not send tingles up the legs of some. I live NC, a Democratic controlled State that has fallen into the danger zone, believing BO is a god. However, regardless of the State I live in, I am an America Christian who believes this whole episode is an attack from the lesser power. We must stand strong and fight against the wiles of this world. Prayer will certainly see us through. We cannot afford to sit back and become another zombie on B.O.’s train to destruction. I have recently become active in my fight against his healthcare bill, ie, submitting letters to a local newspaper, speaking out to anyone who will listen, etc. Again, I thank you for your time and efforts, and of course the information I have acquired from your site and the links you supply. God bless you and yours.
Thanks so much for your words Roni. I know there are many, many of us out there who are fighting right along side you. I just pray we can stick together and continue to fight the good fight for truth, for our country and for our children.
