My 9-12 work is based on my talents (I can write) and reality (I'm a mom of two preschoolers).

I have made a commitment to contact my representatives weekly, mixing up email, mail, facebook, and phone calls. This includes my "Adopted" representatives, people I want to encourage (my personal list includes Michele Bachmann and Jim DeMint, among others).

On the state level, I browsed all the proposed legislation in my state, picked a few that were up my alley, did my research, and wrote concise, polite letters to committee members.

I don't believe I have changed anyone's mind. However, if my letters are part of a larger tide, we will become harder to ignore. Changing people's hearts is God's job, but as I understand it, speaking the truth is mine.

For everyone complaining about our leaders: they are employees, and you fire the bad ones. In the meantime, it's the boss' responsibility to provide feedback. Let's make sure they know just why they are going to be fired.

Add cowardly to the list of negatives...I'm not having any fun at all getting to know this President better.

YES, I sit in judgment of letting your 17 year-old shack up without a fight. YES, I sit in judgment of adding another un-related person to that home, and a 17 year old sex partner taking more of her father's attention away from his children...in the KID'S bedroom (would you want to be that child?). And I sit in judgment of anyone who didn't do their damndest to keep these families intact, healthy, and the kids well-supervised (including the 17-year old).____I judge this BEHAVIOR as crappy. I am in no position to judge the PEOPLE involved, that is up to God. My role is to support...but not enable them. ____I also sit in judgment of myself, my parenting, my kids, and how well I support my community and the families in that community. And someday, I expect to be judged by my Creator...and I DO NOT expect Him to pat me on the back for standing by with a sweet smile and saying, "gee, I hope they'll be happy." He'll want to know if I STOOD UP FOR THE KIDS...and for His commandments.

Greta, I hope you feel complimented when you are alternately accused of being too liberal and too conservative. Old-fashioned journalism is so rare, we sometimes don't know what it is when we see it anymore.

(I still respectively disagree with you on this one. The IRS wants to know about all of my income, and I don't reduce that amout by how much I've given to charity.)

Greta, great job with Steele...that was not a repeat of the standard Steele interviews I've seen. I love your friendly-but-persistent style...keep up the good research and polite discourse. What a breath of fresh air.

Wow. That email represents a lot of effort on something that ends up being incomprehensible. It would be sad...if it weren't so nasty.

So Jindal's speech is called "boilerplate" and "tired." Well, Ronald Reagan was considered "quaint" and out of touch. Snarky, jargon-filled comments are considered "intellectual," aren't they? What an upside-down world.

I'll take Jindal's common sense and sincerity any day.

17 years ago @ GretaWire - Rebuttal Guy?? · 2 replies · +1 points

I have seen Jindal before, and he is usually more quick-witted and funny...but his message is always consistently conservative.

I was struck by the poor quality of production...bad lighting, bad camera angles, and spotty, interrupted transmission. Does the GOP not do test runs? Why do we insist on putting our own guys at a disadvantage?

For those of you who just "met" Jindal, let me tell you...brilliant, honest, integrity to the bone. He is not as slick as Obama (really, doesn't slick make people seem like liars?), but he is also only 37 with little experience in events like this.

He is naturally direct, and this speech rambled a little. Fire the director, get a new speech editor, and do it over. There was nothing wrong with the substance of his speech.
