I attribute it to the THF and the symbolism they are again falling behind. More important than the inability to recognize what the day or the date, is how up "THF" are putting our collective problems on one sector of our populace and branding all of those problems as "Liberal" or "Democrat". That branding and contempt not being bad enough they attempt to divide us through said banter, push questions and a general disregard for debate. I will still breeze or browse THF current dribble in hopes they will address fiscal conservatism, seek common ground and a readership built upon getting along and not "getting it on". Until then my time and money is better spent working with programs like DARE and School/education issues and supporting the fact that this is a Republic first and foremost. I survived the date malfunction and hope THF will also. Thanksgiving is still on Thursday November 27,2008. My newsletter says Monday the 21st also.

If the government pays these high wages to auto workers, aren't we all entitled to the same? Don't let them confuse you. There are those in congress whose goal is socialism. They are called DEMOCRATS. Their Gods are F.D.R. J.F K. L.B.J. and now this guy B.O. What happened to equal rights?

They also share a major roll in all of this. Fuel efficient vehicles? Our auto mfgs. do quite well selling diesel autos (Fuel efficient) in Europe but can't sell most of them here because of the extreme, job-killing regulations and red tape in the US. Get rid of the corp.jets? Oh, please. That is a minor issue only brought up to incite anger at the big bad business execs. If I remember correctly, didn't Mrs. Pelosi demand in 2007,I believe, a C-32 jet(seats 45 and costs $22,000 per hour to operate) to fly her & her friends around? Did she give that up in the interest of economy? There is a lot of blame to go around, but the biggest I feel, is too much gov't. interference. Now, all of you auto mfg. engineers out there, and experts in business administration call Detroit and offer your expertise in building the perfect automobile and running a dynamic co. in spite of being strangled.

It's about time the federal government let free markets decide, reduce their involvement, and begin to cut government entitlement programs. When are they are going to go to a flat tax? What a wonderful world it could be! When will the American Taxpayer get a bailout?

This is what I thought would happen if the American public voted them into power. If they cheat to win the remaining seats in the Senate, their greed will become twofold. It’s important that those in Minnesota and Georgia don’t give them absolute power. No matter the Democrats will always abuse whatever power the public gives them. We’ve been through it before with Carter and Clinton; 62 million Americans have a short term memory loss and they can’t blame it Alzheimer’s.
