On the year of 2012, and the year of 2013. 

2012 was a fairly good year, with the exception of so many in this country showing themselves to be either gullible and naïve fools, or racists, or single issue / selfish enough to vote for the continuing disaster in DC. But, not everyone can be smart enough to understand the fundamental truth in Einstein's famous saying that insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. I guess four years of failed socialist policy was not enough to convince people to look beyond the charisma, the sound bites, and the lies.

But the US is still fairly strong, can still recover and improve.

The world continues.  Things change, some for the better, some not so much.

Here we are, about half done with 2013.  We continue to stagnate economically, with more and more proof that the administration's policies are the policies of failure.  No noteworthy job growth, with ever more giving up even looking for a job.  The illegals continue to be welcome to helping themselves to stealing our goods, our hard won gains.  The housing situation is still having ups and downs rather than steady growth, the country continues to be divided as the mass of useless people continue to think they are owed more from those who actually work.  Justice continues to take a back seat to political correctness, and truth takes hits on a daily basis from the lies that are used to keep the country from rising up and demanding impeachment. 

And yet, the core strength and good that is the American spirit will not be stopped, will not give up.  With every defeat of the socialist agenda, with every voice that will not be stilled in calling out for truth, and justice, and right, we hold on, we return a bit of power to the people.
