President's Day 2012

Well, folks, it's that time of year again! The time to celebrate our presidents by being locked out of our financial institutions, missing out on a day's mail delivery, and trying to find a way to juggle care for the out-of-schook kiddos.
I think my most favorite part of today was when President Obama came out of the White House this morning and saw his shadow, thus thrusting six more months of high unemployment rates on us.
Anyone planning a party or parade?......yippee

The Never Ending Story.....

Too many of my fellow conservatives are losing heart right now. While it is the case that my favorite candidate left the race, nothing has changed about the magnitude of the election of 2012.
We can’t lose sight of the fact that Obama HAS to be fired….no matter what. If that doesn’t happen, we may very well lose everything about America that her citizens hold dear, including most of our individual freedoms!
Face the fact that there is no perfect candidate. Unlike democrats, conservatives don’t need a messiah….we already have one. This won’t be a “job done” election or a quick fix. It’s only “job one”. No matter the replacement for our president, we can never again go back to our sleep walking stance of the past. We will have to continue to be watchmen and we will have to work on replacing socialism on every level: the local school boards, the judicial system, state legislators, congressmen, and mayors. Government can no longer be something “other people” handle. There will be yet another presidential election in 2016 and we still have much work to do and many good Americans rising in the ranks for that and future elections. My hope is to one day see Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, Allen West, or Marco Rubio (among others) on those ballots.
The infighting and desperation going on in our primary concerns me. I'm sure it delights the liberals and their media. Our fight is not against each other. It is against the current socialist-bent administration and its policies and we have to stop slamming each other and our candidates in order to do what needs to be done. Divided we fall, united we stand? sound familiar? I'm all about vetting.....and I know that the final contender has to be prepared for the nastiest fight we're likely to see in our lifetime, but some of the dirt being thrown may be the weapon used to deal a fatal blow to our mission. Some of the rifts opened with each other may be rifts that cost us freedoms we hold dear.
We have bars to raise and standards to bear. Most of all, we have our children to teach and to set the example for. We have to make sure our children know that what we did, they can’t do…..stop watching. I want my sons to know that for them, government involvement will be a lifetime hobby. It will be up to them to see that their children know too. Watching those that govern us and staying involved in the process has to continue. It has to be our new American story….the never ending story.
