I am from Montana and remember the presence of this church since my childhood. They also have evolved, here, in recent years. They have had great increases in membership. They are a church that recruits without entirely revealing who they actually are.

They have built a very large, cement, center with new music and screen technology.

The church offers the building to the community, often. People end up there for a public performance and then are approached about joining. The pursuit is intense.

My main point is to say that i am quite certain that when i was young, some fifty years ago, they were known as , "The Holy Rollers." I can't remember if they called themselves by that name.

Everyone in town did, indeed, refer to them as the Holy Rollers.

The realtor walked in and was happy to list our home. We sold it ourselves, without her help, twenty minutes, after signing, to our neighbors. The realtor then collected the, "buyer", neighbors as clients, too. She collected an extremely large commission from us. She arranged the escrow at the title firm owned by the same realty company. The real estate office was next door to their title company. The title company hit us hard for closing fees and so forth. The realtor was then ready and happy to facilitate a mortgage for the buyers. Our buyers declined, however. There were buckets of bait by the realtor.

The realtors facilitated so many of these deals and they had connections with many steps in the buy, sell process. Why have we not heard a single word about their part? Will they be given the new business to resell the homes or repackage the new proposals, whatever that might look like? Realtors across the country took pieces from most of the faulty transactions. They built up the, "deals" to buyers and pushed prices with sellers. Why arent we asking about the real estate profession? Are their regulations up to date? We weren't soothed by sothebys. Their lunch included bites out of every phase, and more. Their appetite was huge.

Can we go for it and get a supportive climate for artists, actors, writers, musicians, designers, architects, intellectuals, journalists, film makers, dancers, and all people who work in the creative fields? Can we, as a nation, try to begin to value their work again? I am an artist and a supporter. I am inspired. I am ready to wallow in it. Can we go for it, totally, and push for a Renaissance? I think that would close the deal.

The Conservatives are searching for their footing from the history of Reagan. They have forgotten about his dotage, his cue cards, his guileless Nancy, his California experience.

He was outrageously cruel to students, to the aged, to the educated. He built his politics with fear mongering about communism. He nearly created the cold war with the folks of Orange County, the John Birch Society, Walter Knott, and Richard Nixon.

The conservatives are hanging on, looking for a familiar place to stand. They are searching history, they are seeking the old, the former, the John Wayne time. The conservatives crave, desperately, to return to the time of happy parades, when the high school team was the talk of the town, to the time when they felt innocent. It is in the past.

Don't look for President Obama's vision in the past. These times require creativity, innovation, drive, and hope. Look to the philosophers, the thinkers, the visionaries. Trust that our science can improve. Limbaugh, Colter, Palin, are messengers of fear and protest.

These people are actually powerless. There is no way that they can take the country back into this fictional history. Circumstances propel the country into now and the only way we can deal with any of it is to be present. We wondered where Bush's 'ol boy ignorance could take us. Now we know. He brought us right to now, and now is the only place any of us can be. We need to work to stay present and to support those who are willing to lead towards the future, out of the now.

CNN disappointed me greatly. I can usually avoid the obscure radio stations that carry the contemptuous, negativity of Limbaugh. If conservatives or others cling to his beliefs, they will sink with him, in his bloated ship. A ship that carries only old false fronts. A fiction from the movies of a pretend yesterday. Impersonator, Limbaugh sells a counterfeit world.

I am so tired of hearing Republican Ignorance. Do they have any concept, at all,

of how many, many people have the true, "knowing", that Obama is so very correct,

and so right in his direction? When will the press quit giving these blow hards

so much time. I am so tired of hearing about , "backward played tapes", and so forth.

Where is the real news about Obama's fabulous trip and accomplishments?

He was tireless, and awesome. We can be so proud.
