What Has Happened To Republicans?

Not too long ago, Republicans were folk who were "right" much of the time. Folk you could trust and appreciate. Recently, Garrison Keillor wrote down some ideas that really ring true. The question that keeps coming to mind is, where has America gone. It seems to me that they used to be informed, think well and speak out. Now, it seems they don't know what's going on and if they do, they don't care.

Some Excellent Journalism

There have been examples of good journalism this past few months and this is an article that merits attention.

When we have little or bad information, " government by the people" becomes dangerous. When general citizens vote without accurate information our future is in doubt.
