It’s not because of Republican opposition as the Democrats have all the votes they need to pass anything they wish.

No this has nothing to do with Republicans or the country suddenly shifting to the right.

It has to do with the Democrats insulting the people.

 Once enough people found out the truth of what the Obama administrations agenda was, THEY objected.

First the Democrats and their lackeys the media tried to ignore the opposition, then they insulted them.

They insulted the town hall meetings as stupid scared know nothing reactionaries.

They insulted the Tea Partiers as racist, bigots of limited intelligence, not realizing these people were more than just Republicans because they were also independents and conservative Democrats too.

They portrayed the opposition to their agendas of healthcare and economic policies as rubes and fools who had no education, basically calling all of us hicks. And they kept spending and spending and buying votes of their own party.

They didn’t just insult Republicans, they insulted the people.

Just look at the returns in Massachusetts, it's not Republicans, it's Independents who decided the day.

And now the people are speaking out.

We don’t want your socialist medical care that’s failed everywhere it’s been tried.

We don’t want your socialist economical policies.

We don’t want your cradle to grave state run life you want to offer us.

 Your elitist position, your talking down to us average folk just doesn’t work.

“We know better, we will tax you and spend your money and provide for you all because you don’t know how” just doesn’t go over very well.

 And meeting every opposition with you’re a racist, a bigot, your someone who doesn’t care enough card has gotten old.

The Kindle electronic reader from Amazon.com is probably the most popular of this new way to read books, magazines and blogs (Sony’s E-Reader is almost if not as popular).

 I had heard about this device over a year ago when the original Kindle was released. I immediately loved the idea of it, however I waited to see what would become of it, and also I compared it to the Sony E-Reader, which was smaller and less expensive.

 But I couldn’t wait long and with the announcement of the Kindle 2 I just had to have one. With the wireless internet connection the Kindle offers, making it independent of transferring documents and books downloaded from your computer I had to choose the Kindle.

 When I got my Kindle it was everything I expected and more, I couldn’t have been more satisfied with it. I can store up to 1,500 titles on it, I can add or subtract titles at will yet re-download an unlimited number of times any book I have purchased to my Kindle.

 For me this is the perfect reader, with the wireless connection I can get a book whenever I like, where ever I like, I’m not tied to a computer so if I go visit a relative or go out of town or to an appointment I can carry a virtual library with me in something the size of a small notebook that weighs about 10 ounces.

Sure I am aware of the criticisms of the Kindle and some of the options on it I don’t care for but for me it’s what I want, to me it’s a book…whatever book I want.

As far as the e-zines or magazines or papers you can have…not much interest for me there, blogs also since I find most to be annoying. The text to speech isn’t very good either and can be very confusing but maybe they can fix that one day. The limited internet browsing is ok but as I have said for me this is just a book, I don’t want to be distracted when I read and that’s the purpose of this as far as I’m concerned. The music player is ok and you can plug in a headset and just listen to music or read and listen, a nice but unimportant thing.

When I travel I don’t want to look at documents in 18 diffent file formats, be “connected” to the web and all it’s distractions though you can be, I just want to read. The new and best seller books are priced 1/3 of what you’d pay for in the store and there are 1,000’s of titles that are for free, mostly old titles (I think I have 8 of Jack London’s books and they cost me nothing, same for many other classic authors, Verne, Wells come to mind).

Just recently there was a free download to put a reader on your computer and that works great and as long as you have the wireless turned on it syncs up with your computer so if you read 20 pages on your Kindle and later that day take a break and go to the reader on your computer it will sync up to the furthest page read and vice a versa.

All in all I am extremely happy with my Kindle. After 8 month besides my computer it’s the most picked up item I own, oh and do yourself a favor and get a cover for it, that’s the only accessory I’ve invested in.
