This,…. this task,….. this charge,….. is no small thing. The Charge to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. Many have studied history and argue if a restoration has ever happened. They, those of lesser consequence, pontificate of Rome and our Constitution in the same breath and manner.
As if such considerations would diminish the resolve of a patriot… Those of smaller courage fear our task is impossible. If we do not strive ~ how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not endeavor, it most certainly won’t be done.

This is a critical bellwether race. The Dems have sunk more cash into defeating Allen West than any other House Member. Allen West is holding strong.
(WPTV) — Rep. Allen West (R-FL) is leading his Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy by nine points, according to a new FLDemocracy/WPTV/ TCPalm poll released Thursday.

Things just ain’t funny Joe. People are out of work, people are worried, many millions of people are hanging on by their fingernails and find themselves on their knees praying for things to improve. Millions more are worried about their children and their Grandchildren’s futures….
….. and you think it’s all just funny?
We are not amused.
