Media Impotent Following Up On Obama At Last Night's Press Conference

In the long run, what difference does it make about who created the highest deficit? GWB or Obama. Judging by what I saw at the last tea party I attended in Greenville, SC, Conservatives have awakened even to the abuses of power by Republicans. Obama has merely stepped up those same policies to ridiculous extrmes. I have great anger towards Obama and it is difficult not to hate the man (and believe me, the only thing that keeps me from it is forcing myself to pray for him) for his RADICAL Pro-abortion stand which should shock even those who favor abortion in SOME circumstances. [Partial birth abortion which is full term and requires the baby being turned breech so the brain can be sucked out while the baby is thrashing his or her legs wildly from the pain AND killing babies born alive from failed abortions come to mind]. However, Republicans and Conservatives have all too often been guilty of being ONLY one-issue voters, taking the crumbs our candidates give us while they rape our budget. And I agree with Chris on vigilance no matter who is in office. But now that evil has totally taken over our executive, congressional, and judicial departments, we will start to see more and more that (paraphrasing Fr. John Corapi) as the morals of the country go, so goes our nation. We've had warnings in the past. Rome was once considered a great empire but fell as the empire crumbled into gross immorality. Alexis DeTocqueville, in Democracy In America, noted about our own country, while comparing our revolution to that of France, indicated that America is great because she is good and when American ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. Some say that America was never a Christian nation and they'll point to some statements made by the founders of the government citing various instances, but the significance of what history calls the great awakening can't be ignored. Prior to the founding of the Government, a vast amount of the people of America adopted the beliefs and morals of the Judeo-Christian etthic and many of them took the person of Christ into their own spirits. Should American people revolt without first changing our spirits and adopting those same principles, we will have a bloody revolution such as France did in the 1700s and will be no better off under a new government. And I'm afraid its heading that way from all the anger and hatred I see going on from both sides. So, Chris, I would add to your "be vigilant" warning, that we should also take time to feed our spirits, do right in our own hearts and in our own lives. The press will not be vigilant for us. They are part of the lie. Be angry when necessary but balance those times with doing something positive like hugging our kids, enjoying life, family, and what we have. If we are in the fight to keep our country from bankruptcy and ruin of all types, what good does it do to fight if our anger (and I'm speaking of myself when I say this) loses for us the very things we are fighting for?
