I'M ALIVE AND THE SUN IS STILL SHINING

I woke this morning a few hours after the government meltdown began and found that the sun was shining, the electricity worked, my dogs were still driving me crazy with their barking and God was still on his throne.  Wow, how could that be. Congress said we could not survive.

I don't like or trust Washington bureaucracy or the minions that run it, however I must remember those who are elected to the positions of President, House, and Senate did not put themselves in office, we did. So, realistically we are to blame. Therefore, we must ask ourselves how did it happen? Simple. We the people have stood by, often with ourselves as enablers, allowed the dumbing down of America.

A recent poll showed when given the equivalent of the N-400 immigration test only 25% of Americans passed it . Sad, very sad. My Autistic Daughter made 90%.

We as conservatives ring our hands and complain about the dumb and dumbers in Washington but do little to replace them. It's easy to curse the rain while getting our butts soaked instead of looking for shelter. Someone once said "politicians are like dirty diapers and should be changed often and for the same reason."

So the meltdown has begun and some will be hurt I suppose, but surely far more will be hurt by Obamacare.

So, what to do? How about this. We can have our own meltdown. Let's take the political arena as a pile of scrape lead, have our own meltdown and remold Washington starting with our own Hagan next year and Burr two years later and remold the entire political circus so it looks like the Constitution and disallow any power seeking thug to do it his or her way.
