Grass Roots: The president says he didn't watch any of Glenn Beck's "Restore Honor" rally on the National Mall. That's not surprising. Democrats and the White House haven't been listening to the people for awhile.

Wall Street Strategies: "It's an amazing feat to get people to fight tooth and nail for crumbs. It all begins by getting them to have no shame in living off the benevolence of others, or even despising the very sources of the money. The government is the conduit, but it's only because there is prosperity in pockets of the economy that we could support 41 million people on food stamps.

Glenn Beck’s Rally | FrontPage Magazine

Glenn Beck’s Rally | FrontPage Magazine: "There is no figure on the public scene who has done more to educate millions of Americans as to the nature of this neo-communist left than the leader of Saturday’s demonstration: Glenn Beck. It is because of his exposure of the Democrats as progressive wolves in “liberal” sheep’s clothing that Glenn Beck is at top of the liberal hate lists; it is for the same reason that hundreds of thousands of conservatives across the country answered his call. That is the political dimension of what transpired on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

Political Wisdom: Glenn Beck’s Rally - Capital Journal - WSJ

Political Wisdom: Glenn Beck’s Rally - Capital Journal - WSJ: "While Beck’s rally emphasized belief in God, Obama’s generally emphasized himself as a savior of the American people. This, I believe, was the contrast the talk radio and television personality was trying to achieve. Beck’s rally, and the speakers who addressed the crowd, were continually thanking God and Beck for bringing such an inspiring crowd together.

If the American people are either unable or unwilling to make some dramatic changes in Congress then this Republic will indeed become a second tier economic power. China will become the dominate economic and polical super-power sooner rather than later and our standard of living will fall.

Every American generation has said they want their children to be better off than themselves. The Baby Boomer generaion may be unable to make that claim if we do not do some political house-cleaning - and soon.

With the economy struggling it should be apparent that the debate should continue vigorously about how we will "successfully" exit the current problems. Our politicians have screwed up the economy and we should now listen more to business leaders. Anyone who writes paychecks and hires and fires people should have more input about our economic conditions than should some stupid politician.

Term limits for congress would be a great place to start making some needed changes. I hope someone is listening to the concerns of the people.

American Thinker Blog: Obama, Black Liberation Theology and Karl Marx...Revisited

American Thinker Blog: Obama, Black Liberation Theology and Karl Marx...Revisited: "If Obama had not himself made such a big deal of his faith during the campaign, I doubt seriously that this would still be an issue. However, since Barack Obama made closing the God-gap one of his primary missions in campaign '08, it hardly seems fair to now put his faith out of bounds for earnest public discussion.

After all the bailouts and easy money, it turns out banks have only recently begun easing lending standards for would-be homebuyers and businesses. With demand in the gutter, banks (who are actually in business to lend money when not getting freebies from the government) have to fight for business, and that's great news. With the kind of money on the sidelines that will eventually seek returns, banks understand they must make it easier to seduce reluctant borrowers-in-waiting into the mix. It's only a trickle right now, but banks are lowering standards, and at some point will make getting loans more attractive.
