“If we have to fight the fight-and we damned well do, no matter who the nominee is-let’s make it worthwhile.” Amen. What a call to arms! Could anyone have said it more eloquently than Mr. Babbin about what faces those who wish to save our Supreme Court — our country — from the clutches of liberals?
Republicans and conservatives now have to show they are worthy to serve and willing to implement the mandate given to them by the majority who voted in the recent election. Namby-pamby, tail-tucking capitulation to the Democrats and liberals-as well as tunnel vision, fear of governing and general timidity-will not be acceptable.
And indeed, we all are blessed to be Americans. We must not squander or cheapen that. As Babbin said, we cannot rest a moment-yes, we also must fight to win-if we care about our children and their children.
p>Happy New Year, regardless of what type of “con” you may be! Get ready to put on the gloves and roll up the sleeves. br> — C. Kenna Amos Jr. br> Princeton, West Virginia /p>Jed Babbin’s latest cumulation of New Year assessments hit the mark as to the nation’s presumptive expectations of ALL new immigrants from here on out. No one has ever said it better.
p>The American melting pot should be a crucible that produces committed new Americans who are prepared and willing to assimilate and take a productive place in the society. If pride in a given immigrant’s current heritage trumps desire to honor and adopt traditional American language, values, culture and energy, stay home. Diversity is fine; chaos is not. br> —

So why is the stock market doing this cyclic thing? I disagree to an extent with professional managers like my wife who see the whole market as a bubble, as wildly overvalued.
