Wow, here I sit in my early forties not knowing what in the heck is happening to my country! I won’t ramble on about all the major talking points you all have heard over and over. My simple question is: Is this country going crazy? 

Seriously, stop the bailouts, stop the whining, lower taxes, and get back to good old fashioned hard work! Today’s government is creating a lazy and socialist society that expects handouts and free rides. I have worked damn hard for what I have and it is pathetic that conservative “leaders” cannot get the message across that it takes hard work and perseverance to be successful, and that being successful is a good thing. I served my country in the military for ten years, worked my own way through undergraduate and graduate degrees. Nothing was free, nobody’s’ money or time was sacrificed except my own. The liberal left is literally scamming the politically uneducated into thinking that printing more money and passing it out fixes all the problems.  How on Earth are they getting away with this? It is both impressive and disgusting all at the same time.

Is there any person out there that can represent conservative values and economic policy in plain straight forward language? A conservative should not change or massage his or her conservative convictions based on polling data or snippets of rumors. A conservative leader is needed that can negotiate with the other side of the isle yet not be assimilated into the liberal abyss. I am so confused. Can we evict all elected officials and start over from scratch and not have a single prior government person be a replacement? One can only dream. 

You probably have seen the spectacles that are ongoing to pick our next RNC leader. Who makes the final decision on who will lead the RNC? I have to do some of my own research to find that out. However, I surely hope it is us, fellow Republicans (I’m currently working with my Senator to get “Conservative” as voter registration option). I can’t even recall who the current RNC leader is. I could look it up quick, but I am not going to fool you into thinking I know who it is. But I should know right? Yes, I should. This shows that the current conservative movement is in disaster mode and it exposed an infected wound to the entire nation during the 08’elections. No clear message or path to the future was given by the RNC or its candidate. Thanks for your service Senator McCain but what the heck was your message? What exactly did you want me to stand up and fight for? I think I knew, but it sure would have been nice for you to say it. The Democrats chose a message of handouts, free rides and punishment for being successful. The Democrats bought their votes, however the Republicans didn’t earn any votes.

Conservative citizens need to discuss all issues with their neighbors, friends, family, coworkers, and heck even strangers. I by no means intend conservatives to be pushy or to agitate. What I know is that a majority of the left that I talk to have no clue why they voted the way they did.  All they could recite was change, that he means well, and he gave good speeches.  I truly believe most Democrats are embarrassed to admit they were suckered into a vague and aw inspiring fantasy.  They get embarrassed that they didn’t know the (radical) history of their candidate. Can we put most of that blame on the media running the election and hiding incriminating facts? Don’t be too quick to blame the media entirely. I believe it is each person’s duty to research and question his or her candidate no matter what the level of office.  That one vote is a right held sacred to all of those bound to the Constitution. Why doesn’t each and every voter take responsibility and take the right to vote seriously? I am amazed how many do not. Conservatives need to help others understand how to take it seriously and why.  This task should be in the charter of the ‘new’ RNC. Doing so may help each candidate, regardless of party affiliation, understand that he or she is being investigated and will be held accountable. What really burns my bacon is that the majority of the Democrats (and possibly most of America) knew nothing of the candidates and did not have the passion to find out.   

Another thing that totally blows my mind is this liberal global warming scam. I work in the space industry; I know first hand that the Sun cycles throughout its life (No, I’m not old enough to experience all the cycles). Using your ONE vote to show your support for the global warming lies is completely insane. We cannot allow environmental mental cases to run our society! Please ladies and gentlemen, research the disastrous impacts of forcing corporations to follow these bogus global warming regulations. One simple case you may have heard is that GM will lose $1,000 for every Chevy Volt made. Why are they making them you ask? Because the government said they had to! The car can only go 40 miles on a charge! Hmmm, and what does the car get charged with? Probably from a coal burning power plant! Stop the insanity! Do some in-depth research on the economic catastrophes created by the global warming scam. You’ll be totally confused like me on how this is able to continue.

Does each Conservative know what “Conservative” means? Conservatives need to read and understand what we stand for, be able to recite the fundamentals of economics, support smaller government, realize that lower taxes means more government revenue, and how to use hard factual data during debates. Each conservative should be doing this! Sure, listen to conservative talk radio, watch conservative news, but READ books as well. Don’t count on everything on the internet to be true either; picking your websites wisely and picking many. Do some of your own research and get a handle on what is going on around you and spread the conservative way of thinking. Conservatives need to understand the issues as well as all the impacts of each issue. Take a look at the left wing point of view and pick it apart with what you have learned and understand. Heck, I just learned within the last few days while reading “The End of Prosperity” that during the 50’s and 60’s the Democrats were once the low tax party and the Republicans were the high tax party! Some of you probably knew that but what the heck, a person should always be learning.

In closing, I sure hope that citizens of this great nation get a wake up call from conservatives and Republicans alike. I hope for the sake of this great nation that “the light comes on” and the liberal de-construction of this nation is stopped in its tracks.
