The obstacle in our path.

An old story worth repeating....
In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then, he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock.
Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then, a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road beneath the surface of where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold cons and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand: Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

Great point; and I've heard it said that "Barry," [or wh**ever (his) name really is] is the best thing to ever happen to conservatives. Talk about a big bolder in the road!!!

Amen but those liberals never leave the purse behind do they? I just hope that we conservatives can eventually remove the boulder from our path and make a new path back to freedom. Renew our commitment to the constitution and bill of rights and bring America back from the grave to greatness again.
