Bold seems to be the “ in ” word in these desperate times. However, the definitions vary. Could we put our feet into the shoes of “ Honest Abe ”? This little person accepted and anguished over the suffering of his fellow countrymen, yet believing that it was necessary. His time of suffering was ordered to establish a long term good for the people, all the people including future generations. The wisdom of “ Honest Abe ” has proved prophetic. Are we really being bold? Man - Up America!

“ La Revolution!” The hens are setting up America for anarchy, can the anger of the little people, our impotence in America politics, be directed in any other direction? Without responsible political leadership, revolution is the well deserved consequence. History is repeating itself, the cry is against taxation without representation, what will be the new Boston Tea Party? Man - Up America!

Birthday of President Abraham Lincoln
Dire circumstances, what a moment to revere our most respected president who inherited such a situation. President Lincoln chose to act on behalf of the nation he loved and refused to allows it to dissolve under his watch. Let us look upon our own current troubles as an even greater opportunity. May our resolve and loyalty to the entire national interest be even stronger and reflect upon us in like manner. Let us reject our own henish tendencies. Man - Up - America!

Mr. President, who are you? Obviously, you are a gifted politician who has all the appropriate rhetoric and sympathy for our situation. Yet, your legislative style and priorities say it isn’t so! Are you just another Chicago style political hack? Our prayer is that you are a player for the people! Mr. President are you a man or a boy ( hen )? Man - Up - America!

It’s Christmas in Washington, the gathering around the Christmas tree is joyous. All the family of hens take their turn at the Christmas tree. Any cost in the name of Christmas is accepted as necessary for our well being and pain free lifestyles. The hens rule. The credit cards are filled up to overflowing. Responsibility is denied. Again, we have sold the long term good of our country for the sake of a short term fix. Where will the excess lead? Man - Up - America!

Just a note to test my faulty memory, wasn’t it only a few months ago that the Clinton henhouse was campaigning in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, feeling the peoples pain from extreme job loss? This ploy almost worked. Now, the Secretary of States’ first overseas trip is to you know where, China. The purpose is to prostrate herself and our country before a communist dictatorship, to prostitute each one of us in order to reassure our John that all is well. Is there no American self respect among us? There is self respect China. This is the true cost of the stimulus and bailout boondoggles. Man - Up - America!

Twenty years from today, how will these times be described? If your writing a book Mr. Historian, what would be the title of said edition? At some personal risk of sounding negative, let’s give them a jump start. The proposed title would rightly identify our time of :
“ Bloated Budgets and Bailout Boondoggles ”. Man - Up America!
