I'm tired

[cbk]

I'm tired of all of the bad news. I'm tired of idiots in D.C. trying to pass laws about gun control that are clearly unconstitutional. I'm tired of the Korean doughboy threatening to blow up the world. I'm tired of the Muslims wanting to make the whole world nothing but Muslims. I'm tired of the Obamas abusing their position as President and First Lady by spending millions on vacations while the rest of us juggle our bills. I'm tired of Obamacare that doesn't work and the President's press secretary telling me it's raining while in fact someone is pissing on my shoes.
Instead, I'm going to tell y'all about the little baby girl who shares my birth date of November 6th. The amazing thing is that without the present state of medicine this little one would never have made it out of the delivery room. She had a cyst on one of her lungs that would have kept her from expelling the air she took in to breathe. Thanks to many medical teams (there was a team for everything it seems) she is now 5 months old and HEALTHY. When she was 30 weeks old and it was possible for her to live outside her Mother's womb the doctors partially delivered her by C section. They only had a VERY limited time to repair the things that needed surgery before they had to continue to deliver her and cut the cord. Amazingly, everything went just right. And today, her doctor said she's just another normal baby. What terrific news for her and all of the people who love her. Let's celebrate that instead of having a hissy fit over all that is wrong with the world.

Now you're beginning to get it.

Sorry Jerry, that was just a temporary reprieve. ;D Seriously, I do look for the good things that are happening around me. BUT, I also think we have to keep informed about what is happening lest we wake up some day in a land we don't even recognize.
Plain and simple, I don't want to be what Old Rush calls the low information voter.

As long as you're not in a majority, it makes no difference. They could care less what you know, or think.

Who says that those of us who believe that the Constitution of the U.S. is the supreme law of the land, are not in the majority? Minorities who yell loud enough and have collective hissy fits seem to be in the majority BUT they are not. And many people are fooled into thinking that being a conservative they are in the minority. That is why we must speak about the many things that are absolutely crazy to our form of government.
For instance, now the government is saying that WITHOUT a warrant the IRS can hack into your E-Mails to look for tax evasion. Should we not know about this? Should we not react to this? Or should we say, oh well it's not my problem because I'm not hiding anything?
Dear Jerry you may think that you can simply leave the defense of liberty and our way of life to others because you have attained a certain age. You want to enjoy your retirement years and leave it to the younger generations to defend liberty. The younger generation needs the wisdom of the older generation. They need our experience. And I believe that EVERY age group is responsible for defending this precious thing we call liberty.
However, that shouldn't blind us to the happy things that are happening around us. So I'm going to try to find those things too and inform my friends here about them, JIC they missed them.

actually I tend to believe the polls that say that the liberals are in the minority and that a majority of people are to the right of center. In fact it's been one of the complaints in many an argument. "Why is it that the minority is controlling the majority?"....it's because the majority is apathetic

As usual, excellent points by all!!!!!
