First up….Merry Christmas and a special Chanukah to our Jewish sisters and brothers. The Chanukah observance is roughly half-way done at this point (Christmas Eve), and Christians celebrate Christmas tomorrow.
This weekender will begin with a short exegesis of the letter “L.” It is a letter that leads into Liberty, love and laughter. “L” is the beginning of every list, each letter and always laudable. We are a nation of Laws when our legislators respect and follow them. We can like something or loathe it, but we launch into our sentiment with the “l.” Life and land…two critical elements of personal freedom and prosperity are listed under “l.” “L” is important, but its true value will be found in the merging of this week’s letter analyses.
Monday we explored N.
Wednesday we examined O.
Friday we discussed the letter E.
And today we include the valuable L.
and another rendition to drive home the 2nd greatest gift to humanity
The greatest gift is Grace….undeserved and merciful.
We’re about 10 days from the Iowa Caucuses, and the fur is flying. Oddly the top candidate poll numbers hover around 25% for GOP presidential wanna-be’s which suggests that no one has captured the imaginations of Republican voters. Meanwhile Gary Johnson is making noise about running as a Libertarian because he rightly believes that Republicans would not allow him any traction. Throughout this campaign season, pundits and media types have speculated and questioned if Ron Paul would jump to a third-party if he failed to get the GOP nomination. Johnson’s LP flirtation certainly complicates the complication even further.
Super Tuesday is right around the corner in March and it appears that Romney and Paul are the only republican candidates who have qualified for the Virginia ballot. It requires 10,000 valid GOP signatures to have one’s name certified. This development suggests that Gingrich, Perry, Bachmann, Santorum and Huntsman are lacking the volunteer base in the cradle-of-liberty Commonwealth to get the job done. Each state has different criteria and deadlines. It will be fascinating to watch as this race begins to tighten. How they finish in Iowa and New Hampshire could have a huge impact on their building volunteer organizations going forward.
Meanwhile Tyrant Obama enjoys a 17 day vacation in Hawaii largely funded by you and me. I do not begrudge his frequent and lengthy vacations. I do wish that he would take a permanent one to Syria or Somalia.
Enough with the political news and commentary. It’s time for the Good News.
