The concern over terrorists being tried in New York is legitimate. A rational air of caution tells common sense people that terrorists should be put through a military tribunal where classified information about legitimate secrets of state would be protected. Having gone through trials of this nature with other terrorists we know that classified information was given to the accused. Because of lessons learned, this idea of having another trial in our judicial system is a most outrageous idea and this administration should learn from the past. The idea that terrorists or people of the world would be moved in some positive way due to our trying terrorists in open court is again outrageous.
People who want to kill us couldn't care less about a fair trial. To think other countries will somehow think we are a better country because, we are willing to put lives in jeopardy and spend perhaps billions of dollars we don't have simply to say, we are a fair country because we try terrorists in open court, is indeed the height of stupidity. Countries that believe in the rule of law and what this country stands for will continue to back us. Countries that have a negative view of America will continue to have a negative view of us no matter where the trials were held. Get rid of this phony excuse about what others will think and go ahead and admit that this administration is simply paying off a political debt to the ultra left wing of their party when they promote the idea of trying terrorists in this country.
Keeping it simple is the plan here. Search through each day of my life with the possibility that something comes through all the clutter. Post when I can and hope once in a while something interesting finds it's way into the mixture. Frontiers forever are my dreams and hopes that seem always to lie just over the next hill, never quite within reach, but still always there and forever calling out to me.

Snobbery verus the commmon man
Elite snobbism. That may or may not be a word. If it isn't it should be added to the dictionary straightaway, and for the definition there should be a picture of several people the first of which would be Chris"Tingles" Matthews. Interviewing the guys who wrote the book "Game Change". There were comments made about people who were not very smart and two of those mentioned were John Edwards and Sarah Palin. One of the writers said Edwards had to be kind of a smart guy because he was a lawyer At that point Tingles gleefully jumped in with the comment Aha not so fast look he was arguing in front of a bunch of rural ***unintelligible**. Of course the banter of Palin was as usual with her being just so very rural and very non intellectual, at which point the general childish laughter ensued.
This is what I hadn't put my finger on until this statement. The dismissal of the country bumpkins of the country the ones not schooled at the Ivy league halls of America. All of these people are the types Tingles and others of the liberal elite and the progressive movement look down on with pure unadulterated disgust. In comparison when it comes to Obama the praise they give to him and anything that he espouses their words and actions turn into what could almost be referred to as a love in. This is what Massachusetts was about and it seems to be a fed up with this talking down to feeling that has engulfed the entire country. As long as people like Tingles and Olbigmouth look down on the regular people of this country and attempt to promote the ideals of the elite the divide in this country will not heal.
What comes next will be Olbigmouth and the democrat party squealing about business being able to participate in elections, much like the unions do now.

and the winner is...
Will there ever be an end to the pundits on MSNBC with the constant put down of anything or anyone conservative. Rather than admit the American people are fed up with congress doing what they want and ignoring the voices of those people that pay their salary they couldn't help themselves from giving in to their usual childish remarks. Their put downs of people are common with these two guys. Because they can't refute the ideas of those they disagree with it most always turns into a rant about character.
The excuses were plentiful but the simple truth could not be found. All the vitriol about the tea baggers were the same as usual with the gutter snipes trying to minimize the clout that comes from the tea party movement. Go ahead Pundits and ignore facts, because America has become tired of the games that congress is playing with our constitution and our tax dollars. The writing is plain to see and what the people are saying is loud enough for congress to hear if only they would stop running their mouths long enough to listen.
Brown seems to be the winner tonight and by his winning the people who want to see the country return to the conservative principals will also win. Perhaps more people will see what is wrong with the ideas of the Democrat party and realize they made a mistake when they put Obama in office. The conservative movement must continue if we want this country to come back from the terrible path that Obama has taken this country down. Good luck America I'm pulling for you, we can still do this.

Change is possible
The Kennedy family has had a hold on politics in Massachusetts for a long time. I am sure there are many thousands of people in the state that did not go along with Kennedy politics but until now there wasn't much chance that their views would ever be allowed to come front and center. The Kennedy dynasty was a wall which prevented their opponents from breaching. There was the money, and there was the name of Kennedy. Those two things were powerful enough to deter most opponents from even entering, let alone win a race against Ted Kennedy. There are voters in the state of Massachusetts that have never voted in a senate race where Ted Kennedy was not an incumbent. Something in that sentence itself shows some of what is wrong with elections today.
Perhaps the race in Massachusetts begins to make more sense to me today than it has in the past. The amount of political power the "family" held left little chance for anyone to remove Ted from office, especially if it was a Republican. I can see how people that weren't happy to go along with the status quo could become indifferent to the voting process when it was a Kennedy that held politics in his hand.
That sense of being helpless against such a power has been removed and I believe people opposed to the Obama plan or those that haven't always voted will come to the poles in large numbers. The Kennedy dynasty no longer has ownership of that long held senate seat and the power of the Kennedy name is not in this election. People realize now is the time for their voice to finally be heard and understand that their vote could help decide the outcome of an election that has in the past seemed almost ordained.
