After You Shake it Down

Yesterday I met a retired teacher colleague of several years and the current political issues entered the discussion. He stated that he was a lifelong democrat. To avoid getting into personalities and sticky subjects, I told him my main concern was the huge national deficit. His typical liberal solution was to raise taxes on the "rich" and gut the military. Liberals never talk of reducing spending and down-sizing government, which are both out of control, along with entitlements. In this world today we need a strong military and a drasticly smaller entitlement society. If we shake it down, here is what we have----
                                                 Democrat             vs.                Republican
                                                 Liberal                  vs                Conservative
                                                 Socialism              vs                Free Society
                                                 Entitlement            vs                Self Sufficiency
                      Those dependent on Gov't Services  vs Taxpayers providing the services

Once the left side gets bigger than the right side side the ballgame is over. That is the direction we are heading. On November 6, 2012 the fate of the Nation will be decided. I pray that there are enough non-media informed voters to walk into the polls and save the United States of America on that most historic day--------- Grandpa Gordon
