As always, members of Congress only give us the harsh truth as the door kicks them in the rear on the way out. There has been little to cheer, but for the sake of the children and grandchildren we must stay in the fight. Remember this grassroots movement is just a few years old, and the socialist left has been weaving their way into every part of American society for over 100 years. Educating the low information voters is our only option and it will take time. There is no harm in going forth as Happy Warriors, knowing the battle will not be won in our life times.

I think my problem is in knowing that the Socialist left has been working as a team for so long. Like Van said, drop the radical pose to achieve the radical end. They're all on the same page. At this point, we're not even in a book. We're more like a dandelion on a breezy day. Education is crucial, before it's too late. I'll continue to be a happy warrior, but one that is totally aware of the painful times ahead. Onward!
