A lot of your so - called democrats don't believe in the 57 million children of God aborted since 1973...now do they? Research what our current President thinks about abortion...especially late-term abortion...He is unconscionable on his views!!!! and his legislation while in the IL Senate!!!
Now, Mother Teresa is not perhaps schooled in the ways of world capitals and perhaps did not know that having said her piece and won the moment she was supposed to go back to the airier, less dramatic assertions on which we all agree.
Instead she said this:
(Abortion) is really a war against the child, and I hate the killing of the innocent child, murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that the mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love... The father of that child, however, must also give until it hurts. By abortion, the mother does not learn to live, but kills even her own child to solve her problem. And by abortion, the father is taught that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into that world. So that father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion.
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love one another but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
Again applause, and I looked once more to the woman on my right. As the applause spread she sat back in her chair and folded her hands on her lap. Then she briskly reached for her purse and took out a notepad. She took out a slim gold pen. It gleamed in the ballroom lights. She started writing down words.
I couldnt resist, I peered as un-obviously as I could to see what she was writing. Shop Rite, it said on the hospital-white pad. Cleaners.
She was making a To Do list. That was how she detached from the moment. She did not like what she had just heard but she couldnt walk out, couldnt boo, so she made a little list of things to do.

Well I certainly got a wakeup call since I married Irina in Moscow in 1987, prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union. She is very emphatic about distinguishing between Russia and the USSR, which are not interchangeable terms despite what most Americans think. The majority of American agree with you that the U.S. is on the wrong track.

About the makeup of the electorate.
TEA Party conservatives are winning today. You can tell by the hysterical over-the-top vitriolic rhetoric the liberals use whenever they are losing.
How can you prove we conservatives are winning? For over 2 decades, about twice as many Americans have claimed to be conservatives as liberals, 46% to 20% in 2012 according to Gallup, despite liberals dominating the media, universities, and Hollywood. Liberals become conservative once they move out of their parents home, get a job, get married, buy a house and pay taxes.
IF YOU LOOK AT A BELL CURVE
On the left, see a few hundred articulate and persuasive intellectuals of Socialism. People like John Kenneth Galbraith and Paul Krugman, (in Blue) followed by many more political activists (Orange) and the broad center low-information voters. (Green).
On the right, a few hundred articulate and persuasive intellectuals of free market Capitalism, like Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, and William Buckley, followed by many more in the choir. How good we get at PERSUADING the vast number in the broad middle, who may be great engineers, great musicians, great gardeners, church goers, parents but they are almost totally non-political, and who determine the nations fate.
You may be thinking to yourselves, Fred, you are speaking to the choir. But the choir is what counts in politics. It is critical that we spend time energizing the choir and providing it the intellectual ammunition to influence others to join our cause; to teach why limited government, private property, and the free market based on voluntary exchange is the only moral economic system ever devised.
The purpose of teaching others the philosophy of freedom, is not to convert them into believing in freedom from government, but to find them. More precisely, help them find themselves in becoming passionate about individual liberty and to swell the ranks of the choir. Its the choir, it is us, who carry freedom and civilization forward generation to generation.

Before the Republicans purge 99% of Republicans from the Party we need to keep the House and win the Senate. Without a majority no policies can be enacted. After we win -- I and the other six true blue conservatives in America can set the agenda. Until then remember, we are not trying to elect a Pope, for whom we may vote differently than when voting for a politician. Those who say they are subject to vitriol (which I've never seen in 50 years)I suggest you find new friends.

There are PLENTY of good jobs out there. The problem is that they're seeking highly skilled and educated workers, and they can't find enough. Thanks to the left dumbing down the education system, we have a lot of dumb and unskilled people looking for work.

Tony, you write: "the problem is that most jobs in America today are at or near the minimum wage." This is sheer nonsense.
In California only 1.4% of workers are paid the minimum wage (learning wage) or less and 4.7% nationally, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, The Department of Labor and the U.S. Census. You will be more believable if you include some facts when you make such outrageous claims http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2012tbls.htm.

Tony,
Your memory may be fading a bit. I got married in 1960 and the minimum wage was $1.00 per hour, $40.00 a week and you could not raise a family on $40.00 a week in 1960. I started to work as a teenager in 1954 at a $.25 an hour "learning wage," the first year and over the next 14 years worked my way up to General Manager of the company after many salary increases. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0774473.html Minimum wage 1955-2013

What seems lost in this dialogue is that minimum wage (learning wage) workers are not complaining. The majority of the "Raise the minimum wage" action is coming from union workers whose contracts give them a raise whenever the minimum wage is raised. In California only 1.4% of workers receive the minimum wage, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Also, the overwhelming majority of workers receive the minimum wage for less than one year (e.g., those that learn to show up the day after payday). You can look it up!

2013 (the Golden Year) one of the greatest years in history. Happy New Year 2014.
Thank God for Capitalism and Freedom. World Poverty is at an all-time low. Global inequality is narrowing. Battle deaths from Wars are at an all-time low. Deaths from Extreme weather are at an all-time low. Deaths from AIDs in Africa from the peak at an all-time low . Democide by governments killing their own people (typically 10 times the number killed in wars) at an all-time low. Global Warming hasnt occurred for 15 years and the irony of Global Warming scientists today frozen in the Antarctic Ice that Al Gore claimed would be melted by now. Among the 177 countries ranked in the January 2013 Index of Economic Freedom improved for 91 countries.
People are learning about the enormous benefits of true capitalism, and of the anti-capitalists, the imposters that falsely claim the name of capitalism. People are learning of the false and fabricated stories about so-called Robber Barons. America still has the richest poor people in the world proving that as the rich get richer --- the poor get richer. God Bless America.

Art, I'm impressed. First, it is my family photo for my Children 4 years ago for Christmas. Second, I'm suspicious of people who don't use their own photos or their real names. Most newspapers won't publish letters signed by aliases.
emarine's quote in question emphasizes my earlier posting, "It's not what you say but what they hear!" I heard "blaming the poor" in a different context with food stamps, welfare, and national debt, etc.
Herman Cain called to action does tend to verify emarine's statement in context. "Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself!" Cain said. "It is not a person's fault because they succeeded, it is a person's fault if they failed. And so this is why I don't understand these demonstrations and what is it that they're looking for."
Herman Cain to "Occupy Wall Street" protesters:
I blame primarily Democrats for those problems and secondly Republicans (politicians). Not to overlook high school drop-outs that have babies out of wedlock who share in the responsibility for their own plight. Romancing The Voters.com has a free chapter on how liberals and conservatives think differently. Thank you for the Herman Cain reference.

Mainly, but not entirely. It took both political parties to reach a $16 trillion national debt, which mathematically is impossible to pay off or sustain indefinitely.

People, in a free market economy have unlimited wants. Therefore, the demand for jobs is unlimited (even if many are taken by robots). The difficulty is that politicians for self-serving reasons make many jobs illegal or pass laws to make them uneconomical. I would agree that there is a shortage of $250,000 a year and higher paying jobs.
