walk the walk....

It was reported that as FEMA began rolling in (later than many private charities) to offer help for tornado victims in the midwest, some already on the ground help turned FEMA away as they already had things under control. What an encouraging thing to see.  Hopefully they recogonized that along with FEMA help comes FEMA/gov't control.  As smaller government proponents we need to remember that with less government help comes a greater responsibility to help ourselves. What a chance to show how charitable we can be.  Be sure that we, as small government proponents, do our part to look after each other. Let's be sure we back up our talk with action. 

miscalculation?

Follow me on this.  As it sits now, the President has to backtrack and "apologize" for a health care law and website that don't seem to work and that he seemingly knew wouldn't work as planned.  Ted Cruz and Mike Lee and any other constitutionalists were ripped apart for holding up Obamacare.  Would it have been better for the President to delay everything at that point rather than start it up without being ready and now lose credibility and have to "apologize?"  That way he may have been able to better save face with his base and fellow democrats. It may have been easier to explain away delaying it than to explain away the problems.  I think Cruz and Lee were doing him a favor. But if you understand how progressives think and how they don't really care how bad things as long as they push through their agenda.
