What we do when things become difficult is what really shows our fiber and that of our nation. Too many compromised those ideals for effervescent promises of safety and security, protection of our retirement provided by big government. Here is a great example of the slippery slope that we conservatives so often talk about.

I'm POSITIVE Reagan wouldn't have stood for this had he been alive and in office. I was shocked and dismayed to hear the Heritage Foundation backed this legislation! HF, seemingly, has gone the way of the elitist RINOs and ditched the Constitution. It's stated there 'provide FOR the general welfare' NOT make this country a welfare state. I remember, quite well, statements touting the end of the world if the legisltion wasn't rushed through in a few days without lawmakers having time to read through it, delete the pork and prevent the Treasury Department from taking over the financial well being of the country. Well, it seems we are still here and the world HASN'T ended. Act in haste, repent at leisure. I knew something had to be wrong when Pelosi, Reed and all the other clowns were smiling ear to ear at a photo op after the signing. I knew NOTHING good could come of it and that was the obvious giveaway (in more ways than one). I'm disgusted the so-called Republicans rolled over and back this theft of taxpayer money. The democraps had the votes they needed to pass this without Republican support. Past CEO's of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with Dodd and Barney Frank, should be wearing felon orange and sharing a small cell with Bubba by now! Civil words cannot describe my anger about the rape of taxpayers with this boondoggle and the failure of the Republicans to stand against the attempts to socialize MY country. Is there anyone in DC that isn't there for self interest? NO one seems to be paying attention to MY or other taxpayers interest. As far as I'm concerned, Heritage Foundation and the RNC are wasting money on postage sending me pleas for cash. Both have failed miserably to push for my principles and I can't support someone that won't support me. You'd be better off and have more luck asking Obama for a cash infusion. If he gets elected, he'll be the only one you can turn to, (Or maybe 'Pat' Paulsen....they're both jokes) I can hear the pigs in Washington snorting at the trough all the way here in Denver.

That kind of cronyism. That kind of fluffy stupid, macro-econ mislogic. You should just dissolve yourselves, you have wandered so far from conservatism.
