A Night With WSJs John Fund — UPDATE

**UPDATE**
The Talk:
John had a great, inspiring speech tonight. He was amazed, for instance that President Obama made it to the White House without really being a known member of the corrupt Daley machine. But he said to make no mistake about it, the Obama administration is filled to the top with old Chicago operatives from Rahm Emanuel to Valarie Jarrett the whole upper tier of those close to Obama are Chicago political hacks.
Mr. Fund, though went on to encourage us all to strive for a return to conservative policies. He said that there will be a time in the future when we conservatives will be proud to have been part of the change for the better in America in this era.
Fund reiterated that there is a cyclical nature to American politics and that the Democrats are just about to reach their stage of overreach that will cause the American people to swing back to the right.
During the questions Fund also mentioned that many Americans, those attending tea parties, for instance, are becoming alarmed by Obama and it is driving them to respond to Democratic overreach. Common, average Americans that “normally want to forget about politics” are ready for our message.
Fund reminded us all that most Americans think of politics in terms of up or down, instead of right or left. That they get involved when their freedoms are threatened and now is that time.
When asked who our leader is, Fund says he is not a Republican and has never associated with those “so moderate” because he’s a “radical.” This got a great laugh, but he’s saying that we need to think outside the box (my words not his) and look for leaders who are not the “next person in line” in the Republican machine.
”You are the voice of the new politics,” Fund says using the tea party/townhall movement as an example. He tells us that WE should seize the power. That we have the chance to discover who the next leader “should be” instead of being stuck with the next guy in line. Fund is enthused that we are at a time when being leaderless is a good thing because we can discover that next leader through the “process of competition.”
Fund had some great points to make and I was so pleased to have been a part of this night. Thanks again to Richard Lorenc and the Illinois Policy Institute for inviting me tonight.

I’ve sent the following message to several politicians who represent the people of the state where I live:
My family and I are very concerned about the current issues around healthcare, freedom of speech, and the shift of our government to the left….the FAR left. President Obama is surrounding himself with liberals whose radical and socialist backgrounds are alarming. Why does he have advisors that have radical and Marxist beliefs? We would appeal to you to listen to many who hold these objections and have questions that beg for answers.
