One needs to look away from the computer long enough to realise that the Obama plan is not working unless of course if "not working" is the plan.

If I understand the analogy correctly you are comparing Tracy and people like Tracy to Christians under persecution. The analogy is an absurd one and it has two problems I can see (god knows what others I cannot): it implies people like Tracy are under persecution and it implies moral and intellectual superiority for people like Tracy. The first is silly: people like Tracy run the US and every other country on the planet. They use the population to their own selfish ends. History is defined by the exploitation of the lower classes by the higher. The second is even sillier: what people like Tracy propose is to further empower the ruling class by cutting their taxes (which then causes slashes to education, science research, the building and upgrade of infrastructure and its maintenance, etc), destroying unions, keeping healthcare from the population and god knows what else I can't think of. It is the poor who are made to shoulder the burden of reviving the economy. This is not moral. It is, however, intelligent insofar as it destroys people's lives for the benefit of the rich, which is a fine thing to experience vicariously if you identify with ruling class interests.

My thoughts were only to say that Tracy is a minority in this forum.
On the outside, Tracy does seem to be favorable to the Tea Party ( even though there really is no such thing {organised}.)
They are mostly middle class ( are you reading this Jen?) that are fed up with Washington. Minority in numbers but certainly a force to be recond with.

On the surface, yes, I'm for the Tea Party since their biggest priorities are to reduce the debt and shrink the government. But beyond that they are the religious right. That's where we part.

What about you Fran?
