I would like to see an end to all the taxes, and all the handouts of such funds. That is not the proper purpose of government.

It seems that whenever you fight for the rights of Christians, you end up strengthening not the rights of Christians but the rights of Satanic cults instead. Would it be a bad thing to dry up "charitable" contributions to terrorist groups masquerading as religious organizations? This might be a blessing in disguise.

I don't like considering the possibility that you are right, but I cannot afford not to consider it. I encourage everyone to pay attention, use your personal experience, the lessons of history and mostly your common sense. I have been prepared for a ride since Obama got elected, but have been stunned by his audacity to push forward his socialist agenda at a time when we need a true leader, who should be focused on righting the ship before he tries to change its course. Instead, it has become clear he is on a bold and destructive path to scuttle the good ship America. Why? Capitalism, free-market ideas, small government, and notions of personal responsibility are dry and secure in its cargo hold despite the economic storm all around it. These goods have been secured there for 250 years, defended with our blood, and while progressives and the courts have been gnawing on them like rats for years, it appears Obama is not afraid to deal with them in grand and dramatic fashion once and for all. As he has echoed, "This is our time." Rush Limbaugh is hoping Obama and his big government socialism fails, but Obama wishes the United States, a capitalist, free market, fails and sinks into history. It is then he can unveil a new ship - one that only has left rudder. Watch what our president does to weaken his enemies, be it by reducing their financial strength (as may be the case with churches), or silencing them (fairness doctrine). And be wary of the wedge. Obama appears to be fond of dividing the enemy, which is his play in appointing Limbaugh the voice and head of the Republican Party in order to drive moderate conservatives away from the party. Know this: There is a major offensive going on. Somewhere in the White House is a large table on which sits a battlefield model where "Operation New America" is being planned and monitored. The enemy is America 1776-2009. If you believe in free markets, smaller, less intrusive government, traditional family values, the sanctity of human life, lower taxes and the power of people, not governments, you are a citizen-soldier of America 1776-2009. Now will you fight? Mr. Laib
