"No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass." --George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, 1788 "[R]eligion, or the duty which we owe to our creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and this is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other." --Virginia Bill of Rights, Article 16, 1776 "Let the American youth never forget, that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capacity, if wisely i...

To cancel or not to cancle

Hi! I am very excited about meeting new knitters Tuesday! But alas, my husband seems to think I should cancel the meeting because of the inauguration, I am not sure if people will show up to knit, or if they will be glued to the TV to witness the extreme "Hollywood" performances for Mr. Obama taking office. I honestly wish him the best and I hope to GOD he can do good for our country and that he will have a strong backbone if some terrorist group decide to attack us instead of offering them cookies and milk and sharing our country openly with them. But I had no intensions of actually watching the parade of glitz and I don't even know what to call it, I just know I am sick of it all ready and cant wait for the guy to actually get to work and do something and prove me wrong if he can.
