A Giant in the Woods

Did anyone see Rush Limbaugh's speech at CPAC tonight? It was awesome. Why can't the Republican party have a presidential nominee that can speak like that? In contrast to anything Obama is saying there was optimism, real solutions, and it actually made sense. It made me believe in America again.

Trembling ground

I wonder how many people are as scared of this new political administration as I am. I'm creeped out by Obama's unquestioned popularity, by the one-party system he has at his beck and call, by the ease that the stimulus package was passed without anyone even debating it or even reading it. I saw this ad put out by this group call American Issues Project and it shocked me. The ground I've stood on in this country for almost half a century is shifting. I can not believe in this particular brand of hope or change

My thoughts, hopes and wishes for this blog are just in the germinating process at this point so they may be a little rambling to begin with. I'm just so upset about what I see around me and I need an outlet. Maybe this will fulfill that need, maybe not. The "ramblingwallflower" title is my vision of myself as a wallflower in this life - reticent and reluctant to jump in and even comment coherently on the world around me. I've sat on the fence too long and I've just jumped down and am getting my feet wet. Bear with me if you will.
