To deal..or not to deal.
I am with you REB.

Intrinisically I am a conservative...and I hold tight to my values...however I am a pragmatic realist.
Nothing I can say or do will change anything right now except allowing my panties to bunch. I support the president....which really doesn't amount to squat in the big picture....I am not one to force anything on anyone else...because all that accomplishes is hard feelings and resistence..IMO....

I *am* anxious about the situations we are in...but I can not let it rule me. I am a plugger and I forge ahead.
I am a consumate optimist.....and until there *is* something I can actually do besides bitch....

On a side note...I have actually lived with this duality for some time so I am used to it...my children live in the land of entitlement...and because of this *I* am suffering. While it is EXTREMELY frustrating....it is definitely forcing me to lay in wait....carefully , slowly, formulating a plan....

Life just ain't a rose garden.....left or right.
