America: The Best Is Yet To Come

In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, day by day I grow evermore optimistic about America's future. I'm convinced that we stand at the threshold of the greatest era of liberty, freedom and prosperity that this great nation has ever known.

While I accept that there will be significant pain between where we are today and where we are going, I am nevertheless convinced that America's founding principles will ultimately win out over tyranny. The light of freedom and liberty will indeed grow brighter. The corrupt must and will be diminished. Common sense will emerge from the debacle as clear victor over political fantasy.

We will become interested in others. We will become committed to helping the capable, yet less fortunate, develop the capacity to take care of themselves. Instead of relying on government to acquit us of our duty as fellow citizens, we will directly and personally tend to those who cannot take care of themselves. We will learn to serve the poor out of the charity of our very own hearts rather than through the myriad entitlements doled out by bureaucracies.

The focus of power will shift from capitols to neighborhoods, one citizen speaking respectfully to another. We will reclaim our true dependence upon Divine Providence and relinquish the inevitable bitterness born of the selfishness and fear always attendant to the ways of communism. We will gladly assume the responsibility, accept the burden, and pay the price for the privilege of being an American.

In spite of all the evidence to the contrary, day by day I grow evermore optimistic about America's future. I'm convinced that we stand at the threshold of the greatest era of liberty, freedom and prosperity that this great nation has ever known.

God bless you and yours at Thanksgiving!

A friend, knowing of my love for Emmet Fox's writing sent me this comment which I add here......In 1937 in "INNER POWER" Emmet Fox wrote:

PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES

THANKSGIVING DAY, this year, finds us at a point in world history where, upon
the threshold of the New Age, we are confronted by major problems of every kind,
I think I cannot do better than quote here what I wrote in the pamphlet, The
Historical Destiny of the United States:

"Now, does all this mean that I think that the future history of the United
States is going to be a simple and easy path of uninterrupted development? No, I
do not suppose anything of the kind. The fact is, that a quiet and uneventful
life is rather the mark of age and decrepitude than of youth and vigor. It is
the destiny of youth to have great problems and great difficulties to tackle and
to solve, and it is the glory of youth to have the vision and the energy to do
both without fear. When the life of a man or of a nation becomes gentle and
uneventful, it means that its work is done; but the work of this nation is only
beginning, and I expect, therefore, that in the years ahead of us there will be
great problems and difficulties and even dangers to be met and overcome. But I
know that as long as the American people are true to themselves, and to the
American Dream; as long, that is to say, as they remain untied in essentials, so
long will they continue to remain undefeated; and so long will they fulfill their
destiny of service to the world. Difficulties and problems are good things in
themselves because every difficulty overcome is proof of a further advance in
consciousness."

The tragic Fort Hood slayings are an act of fanatical islamist terror against the United States.

MinnPost - Report finds some legislators doubling their pay with per diem payments

MinnPost - Report finds some legislators doubling their pay with per diem payments

The per diem scam is intrinsicly crooked. Any legislator who defends this nonsensical bit of taxpayer larceny is a fool. It's gotta go. Report your actual expenses and call it a day.

And how many legislators sublet their "year-round" housing apartments out during the RNC?

KSTP Exposes Voting Problems: Mark Ritchie Insists Nothing Da Matter

Last night KSTP 5 Eyewitness News aired a report by Mark Albert.

SEE IT HERE

Note to Secretary pf State Mark Ritchie:

When the reporter shows you his evidence don't refuse to look at it claiming you don't have your glasses or that you refuse to even recognize a photo copy.

To satisfy Ritchie, perhaps we should just vouch for Mark Albert, that his documentation is accurate. If vouching is good enough for voter registration why isn't it good enough to get an iota of inquisitive cooperation from the top election official in the state?

Can Mark Ritchie be that far in the corruption bag on this issue?

City of Bloomington threatens KSTP with a lawsuit in essence for having the audacity to ask questions about ballots?
