I read many articles, posts, comments that are of the opinion that even if Obama and his Congress are defeated in the upcoming elections the damage is already done. We have been pushed a long way down the statist road. Can we reverse the damage? Can Washington be cleaned up? Will we ever regain control of our government? Or has our inattention cost us our liberties? I have preached that we have allowed this corruption to grow by our inattention to detail in managing our representatives. I feel this is true, however I also feel we have been betrayed. In essence a candidate for public office should not ask for the job, swear an oath to do the job, then not do it. I pray it is not to late. Tom Jon, I have the same question.

The very way the "news media" keeps harping on certain issues, keep pushing racialism and the be all and end all of life, that life isn't fair and we must have the government level society, etc. As you can tell, I'm still working on formulating my argument! :) I’ve always felt and still struggle to find the right way to articulate it …….that due to 24/7, omnipresent mass media, this has had a great effect on the growing encroachment of statism.
