A tug of war

A tug of war...

1. 8,570 earmarks for politicians to be subsidized by ‘rich’ Americans who pay taxes.

2. 4.3 million babies born in 2007, 40% of them to unwed mothers.

3. This is National Nutrition Month in which we are asked to "vegecate" our kids.

4. Lance Mackey just won his 3rd consecutive Iditarod, 6 hrs ahead of his competitors.

5. Ronald Reagan defended liberty and scorned collectivism (government control).

6. "How do you explain to a 3 yr. old you can’t buy him something,"asks a 30-something mother.

Let’s match up sides now for a school yard tug of war. Who will pull against whom?
The left vs. the right, liberal vs. conservative, cultural corruption vs. moral behavior, fiscal irresponsibility vs. financial discipline, political correctness vs. common sense, loser vs. winner.

Match up the opposing forces and what will be obvious is the contrast between the reason and truth and irrationality and reality re-making. There’s no need for talk or compromise. Bring on the tug of war. 1,2,3,6 vs. 4 and 5. Do the odds seem skewed? Two rights vs. four wrongs? Wrongs outnumber rights today in the new Obama administration, barely 2 months old which continues to steam roll creeping socialism across our ‘fruited plains.’ But never fear. Four wrongs don’t make a right. One wrong can never make itself right. We who are about to die do not salute those in the wrong. In a tug of war as in life, right is might and will triumph.
