Alarmists rule

I have totally lost faith in our "leaders" in Washington to approach major issues with any real thought and consideration. The District of Columbia has become Henny-Penny land with people running around declaring "The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Must do something, anything, but must do it now, now, now."

The future of our nation depends on the ability of clear-thinking citizens to take back the government from the Lucy-Gooseys who now control it. Please, people, don't just sit around and assume someone else will save us!
