Today is President's Day and after over 230 years of our nation we have inaugurated our 44th President of the United States of America.  We have had some great presidents and some horrible ones, but one thing is for sure, we still live in the greatest nation in the world.  The past few weeks, President Obama and the Democrat Congress have virtually turned this country's course in a totally different direction than what our Founding Fathers had intended.  One cannot say that we were not heading in that direction already, but now we as country have finally crossed the line towards socialism.  It is not too late to turn it back, but it is going to take a lot of work as many people in the United States don't even understand what has happened.  I recently had a conversation with a person and they were shocked that I was not a Barack Obama supporter.  When I explained that his policies were socialistic, the question to me was, "What is socialism?"  This person is not alone and well old enough that they should know what socialism is, but it is a sure sign of the uneducated population we have in the United States on the true history of our nation and the history of the world.  Our current president campaigned on "Change"; unfortunately, we are not getting change but rather the old Clinton administration, Franklin Roosevelt's policies that deepened and prolonged the Great Depression, and the same old tactics of Washington politics.   Come join us Saturday, February 28, 2009, at 9:00 AM at Slope's BBQ for our monthly meeting.  Our guest speaker this month is Bartow County Commissioner Clarence Brown.
