So as I prepare for a 4-1/2 hour flight, here are a few quotes to start your day:
"Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread." ~ Thomas Jefferson
From Richard Armey, The Freedom Revolution:
"The people themselves, not their government, should be trusted with spending their own money and making their own decisions."
"[T]he tax code has been piling up, year after year, a symbol of everything gone wrong in America, of arrogant rulers and lost freedom, just waiting for us to pick the whole thing up and heave it away. It has to happen. Free people can put up with such laws only for so long."
"Government is saying to the average citizen every January 1: 'For the next five months you’ll be working for us, for goals we shall determine. Is that clear? After May 5 you may look after your own needs and ambitions, but report back to us next January. Now move along.' ... If nearly half of what you make is spent by someone else, that means that half your work time is spent working for someone else. Call me a radical, but I think that comes dangerously close to being a form of indentured servitude."

Have a great trip maggie! You know, I don't consider myself a conservative whatsoever, but I agree with everything you say and post. I think our government officials have lost their ever-loving minds. Keep fighting the good fight!
Thanks Barb...
and I can't help but smile at the 'not a conservative but agree with everything you say.'
:)
It reminds me of a conversation I had once with a union leader. I was the only Republican on a board and union leader (UL) was the chairman. We often agreed with each other, against the rest of the board.
One day, UL says to me, "you know, Maggie, we really agree on a whole lot of issues - maybe you're really a Democrat."
My response was, "You know, UL, you and I agree and the rest of the Democrats on this board don't. Maybe YOU are really a Republican."
LOL
I left some money at New York, New York. Is it possible you could get it back while your there? If you do, just keep it.
Enjoy your trip. I look forward to your coverage.
On a more serious note.
There is a schism in the behavior and beliefs of Democratic voters at the local level with Democratic leadership at the national level.
If somehow someway you could get local Democratic voters to ignore the party label and vote for people that best represent their interests and beliefs, they may find themselves voting more often for the Conservative or Republican candidate.
Have a good trip Maggie. Is the Journolist scandal going to be addressed? I hope so!
