In many ways, we have earned that perception. As bill also said that when liberals see blacks, they see a sea of it comes and conservatives see a sea of aliens. It is important to acknowledge that in the 1960s when conservatives talk about limited, small government, hostility to Central Government it was not for Central Government intervention in the states, we would not be sitting here.

If we begin to work as a country the coalition building. We cant just dialogue and walk away and say, we had a great evening. I would hope that notes are taken and we can begin to talk about how to build on the takeaways. Otherwise, we are going through the motions, the processes of coming together.

There are things that can be done immediately in every community with a great leadership, visionary leadership. Inquiring of the lord as to what we need to do. It doesnt take everybody doing it. If we can entrust not only the elected leaders, but as i said earlier, people on the ground. People every day who have voices that are never heard. If we can begin to process ways with which we

Deficit sequestration, and of course, the fiscal cliff. Listening to breathless elected officials discuss the fiscal cliff can be terrifying. As the story goes, weve made some bad choices over the years. Weve tried to outrun it, but in the ends were trapped and it sounds like like our country is facing this. But lets just take a moment and breathe. Because fear is not going to help. And facts will. Here are some of the facts. If a new plan for the federal budget is not reached between congress and the white house by the end of the year, january 1, 2013 will be the first day that significant spending cuts and meaningful tax increases take effect. Adding up to about 500 billion in 2013 alone. Now, lets remember this cliff is manufactured. The result of lawmakers tying each others hands back during the 2011 debt ceiling debacle.
