"Earned, not Given"!

I saw a twelve year old wearing a t-shirt that gave me the strongest reason for optimism that I have had in several months.

   The t-shirt said:  “Earned, Not Given”.  Could this youth be representing a new generation that does not want to be entitled, but rather to “earn” their way??  If so, America will have a renewal in twenty-five or thirty years when this youth generation gets into power.

It used to be a man sired enough children to take care of himself in his old age when he was unable to work.  Somehow that has been turned upside down.  We have now begun to think that the parents should leave a financial legacy for the children. And the children expect it as an entitlement.  What a reversal!  Especially since the children now days can feel discriminated against if they don’t get a car when they reach sweet sixteen, at least five years of college to complete four years of work and a forgiveness for any loans they may have taken out to finish school.   What a difference the words on a T-Shirt could make!!!

How to Elect Romney

One of the good lines that came out of the Republican Nominating Convention was:  Every good Repubican should make a personal pledge to convince one person who voted for Obama four years ago to NOT vote for him in 2012.

The line died, was not repeated and it should have been.



Just think, if every Republican would convince just one person who voted for Obama in 2008 NOT to vote for him in 2012, Romney would win in a walk.

If you want to be sure, ask that every Republican convince three people to NOT vote for Obama even if they can't bring themselves to vote for Romney.  They can still vote for the other Democratic nominees if they wish.

Who  are the best candidates for conversion??  My guess is that the most lucrative are the young voters in 2008 aged now about 25-35.  They have seen that their "hopes" for Obama have not been warranted and the "change"  has not been what they expected.
