Both of you are welcome to...Hi Numbers and Sparthy<br /><br />Both of you are welcome to become contributors to either blog if you wish, all you have to do is ask and you can post on here, But for the time being I'll open up the Chatter box again for immediate conversations and see how it goes, it is at the top of the page.<br /><br />JerJerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458118248590461987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-50526157799087313312013-01-03T00:00:21.068-05:002013-01-03T00:00:21.068-05:00You're right, of course. Years of conditioning...You're right, of course. Years of conditioning - being afraid of being wrong - have eroded my self confidence. Thanks for the vote of confidence!<br /><br />Here is something I would like to see on your Patriot's Tool Box, Jer:<br /><br />A post that would stay at the top, or in the sidebar, for a while. One where we could have a discussion over a few days' time. Often the posts have dropped off the bottom by the time I find a few minutes to type. Also, often I would like to comment on some of the articles you put in the sidebar. (BTW, great selections and groupings!)<br /><br />I'd like to see a place where we could tell what we have done to spread the conservative word. If I write a letter to the editor, I'd like a place where I could post a copy of the letter - for feedback, for a pat on the back, or to be available if someone else wanted to copy-and-paste to send their own letter. I'd like a place where we could share ideas, inspiration, and our efforts. It's also a place where we could suggest places to post a conservative idea or fact, as you suggested.NumberWisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682512594834876895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-81678944604287681042013-01-02T22:46:06.080-05:002013-01-02T22:46:06.080-05:00Number.
Dont send letters that include unsure fact...Number.<br />Dont send letters that include unsure facts. There is no need. Your principals are enough ground to stand on. And Constitutional/common sense actually doing the hard work requests are a good start. What does the average voter have to fear anyway. They (our dear leaders)dont know the facts and seldom read the legislation they are voting on.<br />Dont forget Obama stated there were 57 some states. You have little to worry about.<br />Please write your reps. And dont forget that when Senators are voting on National subjects they are all our Senators! Not just from their respective States!spathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828894306167927489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-25042292889661915542013-01-02T20:46:18.423-05:002013-01-02T20:46:18.423-05:00I agree - I needed a little silver lining!
But I ...I agree - I needed a little silver lining!<br /><br />But I also thought many of the things that you wrote about, spathy. I'm tired of waiting for the next battle to see if someone will have the courage to fight for what is right - not just what is political. I, too, had forgotten that the cuts were to growth, not actual spending. And I, too, am never quite sure just what the facts are.<br /><br />I've been wanting to write letters - to the editor of our newspaper, to congressmen and senators, to the people on my e-mail list, etc., but I find that I'm never sure of the facts, so I hesitate. I think much of the information is given out in a deliberately misleading manner.NumberWisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11682512594834876895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739672964837343956.post-65559290385789674712013-01-02T20:13:00.047-05:002013-01-02T20:13:00.047-05:00Thanks Jer I needed that.

Yet there were socalled conservatives stating that across the board cuts would be harmful especially with the military.<br />I thought to myself that that shouldnt be a problem with the military spending because that has already been cut,and that should be exempt.<br />My point is that it always seems as though the real truth comes out after the vote.<br />For instance,I heard today that the tax on the "wealthy" would encompass close to or between 40 to 70% of tax payers in this country.<br />Well what is it? 40 or 70? And why werent these figures being bandied about before the vote?<br />I assume such large figures impacted by increased taxes on those earning over 400/450 thousand are % of taxpayers not just those that work.<br />I bounced that around in my head for a bit. If 40+% dont pay taxes then 40 to 70 % of people paying taxes could be the ones earning over $400 grand a year.<br />Thats an increase of taxes to essentially 50% or more of the tax paying populace. That cant be good for the economy or for tax revenue for that matter!<br />So much for the just attacking robbing stealing from the 1% that you know "dont deserve it" and "can afford to give a little more"<br />I could blather more. But I best stop there!spathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828894306167927489noreply@blogger.com
