I don’t normally take the time to leave a comment, but this was especially helpful to me today. As I myself am in the midst of a loan modification, this is incredibly useful advice. Thanks!

2010 will be a good year for the conservative voter, 2012 will be a great and historical year for the conservative voter as I see two conservative women being elected to President and Vice President, as my favorite newsman George Putnam used to say "this too, shall pass".
Bless you Lola, quitting is not in my dictionary.

Hmm, were you ever in the military? Or are you just another armchair "conservative" who would cheer for war but twist your knee to avoid having to go?

What about those of us who both served in the military and are liberal? These are not mutually exclusive categories.

Such is the price of freedom. Never forget, never shame, and never allow the ignorant to dishonor or twist it (ie. the scalding piece of tripe known as "Oh what a lovely war.").

They have already twisted Vietnam, now they are working on Korea and WWI. And if those get reduced to a simpering pile of moral equivalence, expect WWII to follow not long beyond.

Eternal vigilance is not only required on the front lines or at the security counter. It is required in the archives as well. Lest we allow slanderers, pseudo-historians, and blind ideologues- of any side, mind you- to destroy our heritage, our history, and our ability to fight in the present.

Cowboy, yes it is nice. At 11 am they also have another moment of silence where they slowly part curtains to unveil plaques around the trading floor that honor our veterans. The trading floor is VERY patriotic.

Bravo! The time is now, the place here, the people are you and I, there is no one else, there is no where else, there is no better time, this is it. If we fail now, we may never make it all the way back.
