Comments on: Protecting the 4th of July http://morewhat.com/wordpress/protecting-the-4th-of-july/ To build consensus on issues Thu, 18 Mar 2010 06:54:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Stanford Matthews http://morewhat.com/wordpress/protecting-the-4th-of-july/#comment-21369 Sun, 05 Jul 2009 07:55:23 +0000 http://morewhat.com/wordpress/protecting-the-4th-of-july/#comment-21369 A post without feeling optimistic is still a post. A day without optimism may produce thoughts or ideas that lead to better things. It's a process. Causing interest in the 'other side' takes time. Last Independence Day was before a presidential election and this one of course was after it. As it has been said over the airwaves, 'elections have consequences.' Even some liberals are having second thoughts about Obamanism. It has only been five months. One of those in my 'circle' who voted for the Messiah expressed today that Obama is a w---e just like the rest of them, meaning politicians. Give it some time, the rest will come around at a painfully slow pace. And thanks for the personal sentiment, we had a day. Not good, not bad, but a day in which we spoke mostly of our country. We discussed issues, expectations and concerns with guarded optimism. And the grill produced its usual best. A post without feeling optimistic is still a post.

I can't believe I've let the day go by without optimism, but I have. But dreary and dire predictions, but I feel it to my toes. July 4, 2008 was drastically different from July 4, 2009. We have no one on the "other side" interested in doing their part. In fact, I think we can make a case for treason against the Congress who has allowed all that President Obama has wrought to happen in the first place. The checks and balances have been purchased for personal endeavor. In spite of my dreary notions, I hope you and your family are having a wonderful Independence Day.
