NATIONAL CONVERSATION

The other day, Cassandra said:

If we are smart, and if Barack Obama is elected on November 4th, and if the worst of our fears are realized, there could hardly be a better opportunity for conservatives to launch a national conversation about our ideas. There could hardly be a better opportunity for us to make a logical, coherent, principled case for why conservative, free market economics are better for this country than the plans Obama has presented so far.

There could hardly be a better opportunity for us to tell our fellow Americans why we believe people are more productive when they are allowed to keep the fruits of their own labor; to demonstrate empirically how, when taxes are raised on corporations and businesses, that they DO migrate to more friendly environments where the costs of doing business are lower; to ask our fellow Americans why, if Democrats truly believe it is selfish not to want to help the less fortunate, they don't do the right thing voluntarily?

It may well be that conservatives have a very trying period ahead of us. But hard times may be viewed as a burden, or as a challenge which makes us stronger and brings forth our best qualities.

How are you keeping the fruits of your own labor when the jobs are going overseas? How are you keeping the fruits of your own labor when the profits are going overseas? How are you keeping the fruits of your own labor when your labor is only worth $7/hr because the goverment sold us out? How are you keeping the fruits of your own labor when even my father who worked in marketing and public relations for decades was laid off and saw his job go to south east asia? Keeping things balanced by keeping the rich from getting too powerful is what our founding fathers wanted! Read all the founding documents and learn the truth - we are not meant to be this top heavy and we never were!
