Once again, a hollow, pointless feel-good piece by some one who is dripping arrogance and superiority for no obvious reason.
Tea party????? Tea party???? You're just another bunch of radicals who don't want to recognize that not everyone can be rich.
Your self serving oratory is typical of overcompensation for the empty life you must truly lead.

Let me remind Linda:
Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
We really don't care about for forefathers or the OWS crowd during this weekend.
Elijah Tai Wah Wong we miss you...

I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out how clueless Linda is once again, but then I saw your post IceCat.
And you're right. Much as linda may try, it isn't about her.
My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of someone dear to you.
Anyway, Downtownresident already said all that was needed.

Sorry Linda but from my perspective, the tea party crowd is just as bad as the occupy bunch. they want to force their myopic ideology upon everyone one else. We just had a taste of it with the spate of bills passed by the idiots in the legislature and signed by our illustrious governor who had the gall to state she had a mandate. I spent my adult life serving and fighting for our citizens to have the right to free speech but I darn well did not do so to have a bunch of idiots who claim they have a mandate from God to restrict or do away with my own religious and personal rights.

Linda,
Good article and on point. It's really a shame that a democracy such as ours is succumbing to the mentality of takers instead of makers. We are now at a point where the takers can out vote the makers.

Thank you Linda for another insightful, purposeful letter. There are tax/payers, and there are tax/users. November can't come soon enough. Thank you veterans for your service!

Looking through the first four posts made my stomach churn at the lack of decency some people hide behind. Downtownresident has a history round this column of spewing the most hate filled comments I've seen - one being pulled recently due to its indecency.
Linda's story is exactly like mine. It's why I do what I do, and for the first time in my career am vocal this election. This crowd in office do not represent the majority of the country. They've stifled creativity and stomped on free enterprise with class warfare as one of their tools. We only had a hint of what this President was about because he was and still is protected by the media.
Fantastic job Linda for illuminating what is still right and will be once we get this group out in November.

Yes, why do they let Linda Turley write a column. They should give more space to mental "heavyweights" like Jon Beydler and Tina Dupey who write the word of the people. Everyone knows that those Tea Party crowd are just a bunch of tax limiting racists. As DTR says, some people just know that they can't be rich and the people talking to them tell them so. Someone has to get the government to take money from those who think they can be rich and give it to those who sit around and believe those who tell thenm they can't. Then the world would be a better place. Right?

Question- who's responsibility is it to make sure people are successful? The answer says more about you then anything else.
