I blame it on the likes of Sean Hannity. Their talking points compared to the protesters’ talking points are eerily similar: repetitive without much, if any, philosophical backing.

If people face these realities as “truth” then we face either people revolting at the “injustice” (self-righteous stance) or people accept those words as a call to assume their responsibilities that may just lead to the revival of a 2nd American republic.

As the gospel truth declares, all we have to do is preach this truth and the truth will take care of itself.

Lastly, since you did not make mention of it from the interview, I will note that the we are in the midst of a cultural shift in this country that will affect the “ground troops” of the political movement that will bring out change in this county. Ron Paul’s GOP presidential run proved that their is a new generation of “ground troops” that comes from three sources (1) counter-culture movement (victims of HUGE government, i.e. alternative medicine, new age, technologists, music industry), (2) libertarians/3rd party movements, (3) anti-establishment/frustrated evangelicals.

Compared to the social conservatives alone, this new wave of classic liberalism stirred up by Ron Paul’s candidacy is growing and becoming organized. Other the other hand, mainline social conservatives have vastly dwindled in number and are now only effective in bastions in the Midwest and deep South.

Perhaps, I can simplify this idea by saying that economic conservatives finally have “ground troops.” Money after all is the common denominator.

One thing that certainly can help to cause poverty, foster dependence generally, and perpetuate the cycle of generational poverty within a community is government involvement. Government anti-poverty programs such as public housing and welfare certainly precipitate poverty’s effects, generally.

I recently wrote a final paper for an english class on exactly this subject, how government programs can effect the cycle of poverty.

I will make it into a post, but I warn you, it’s quite long.

Obama Has started arresting people for not following his orders

http://ngoldfarb.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/dictator-obama-puts-his-enemies-in-jail-even-before-he-takes-office/

But doing this at the risk of our constitutional rights and freedoms isn’t worth it. Obama’s plans do nothing more than decrease freedoms and increase citizen’s dependency on government. People love Obama because he feeds their sence of entitlement, not because of his plans to run the government more efficiently.

The montra of the average US citizen is “give me more and give it to me now – I want the government to take care of my every want, desire and need” Socialism doesn’t work in a Capitalist society. Obama is going to destroy this nation.
