Confronting the aproaching demand to raise the national debt ceiling, your congressman will have to make a difficult choice -- is he coward or chicken? He will either require serious budget cuts ($860 Billion is one proposal), or chicken out in fear of losing re-election from constituents hurt by cuts. Summon the grit to do right by the country, or cover his own bottom.
If he argues for 3 months while the government lives on accounting tricks, our foreign debt holders will see us edging into insolvency and may demand much higher interest return before buying U.S. bonds. Our government's economy could crash. Washington burn while Congress fiddles, so to speak. So who has the grit to step up now and vote for substantial cuts?

Like to be an MD forced to perform abortions?
That’s where regulations said to be pending from the Obama administration are going to place many MDs as per yesterday’s news reports.
The Euro Union even has express provisions that no health care provider may be liable or subject to any discipline for a matter of conscience by which he or she declines to participate in abortions or euthanasia. Our own Congress has repeatedly passed lanlguage desisgned to prevent this happening.
These people are bad to the bone on some issues.

Grandma and Grandpa . . . Retarded or Retired ?
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Arizona . Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles, and wear name tags, because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wreck center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now, they do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but they all jump up and down in it with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out, and go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night - early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center for pot luck. My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and, says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can visit their grandchildren.
