Be encouraged! Michigan 1st District candidate, Dan Benisheck, has found the people in the former Bart Stupak district to be “well-informed,” and that many are now “speaking out.” against invasive government.

That’s great news since the Lib-Socialist Obama types can only win votes from citizens who are ignorant or duped.

If there is one enduring mood in American political history, it is that each generation feels it is the last that will taste the fruits of liberty. Just think how dark the national mood must have been in August of 1864, for example, to have a sense of how bleak the days must have seemed. Some can remember how frightening it was when the Soviets first got The Bomb, and China devolved to Communism. Those were dark days. America has had these spells before.

And, while it can seem frustrating, I sense that liberty-loving Americans are now on the march. I’ve never felt the palpable sense of political engagement in my lifetime that I do at this moment. We normal Americans cannot wait to storm the ballot box, overwhelm the statists, and wrest from them a modicum of ordered liberty, and begin restoring our God-given freedoms.

It has taken several generations to arrive at these shores. It will take several generations to turn the ship around, and head back towards the glorious horizon of Freedom and Liberty. Put your head down, your shoulder to the wheel, and Take Heart.

We will get there. We have no choice.

The is no conservative victory that could possibly happen that can do anything other than slow down the inevitable. The socialist momentum that has built up behind our nation over the last century or so is simply too powerful. We are doomed to collapse, and the sooner the better.

I don’t in any way want to sound Pollyannish. But if you constantly fill your mind with only books and articles about how bad things are, and the coming crises. Then you will be unduly depressed or angry or both.

While we all want to do our best and defeat the Left. Things are probably not as bad as they seem. We will probably muddle through like we always do.

Thank you for putting down, in writing, exactly what so many of us feel and believe every single day. I am still lucky enough to have all 4 of my grandparents still living, but I have the exact same feelings about them (and my great-grandparents who recently passed) as you expressed about your dad in this post. They gave so much for us and look at how we’ve treated it.

The good news is, there is still time to reverse course and fix this. But we have to become what they all were. We have to be the next great generation. Freedom and Liberty have no place else to turn. As Reagan said, “We are indeed, and we are today, the last best hope of man on earth.”

Silent no more…

All things in their own time. Had you come earlier, perhaps your beliefs and your dedication would not have been as strong or as sure. What counts is that you are here NOW when you are so needed.

Welcome!

I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve been among the apathetic for too long. I voted conservative my whole life, but thought politics was up to someone else. At 43, I’ve watched my country go from a strong, proud nation to one quickly heading toward the tar pits of history. The frustration finally built to a point where I dragged myself and my wife to a Tea Party. Their words, like yours, cut deep. Two days later I put myself on the ballot to be a precinct delegate. I’m active in my local GOP group (I am the social networking “expert”), and have been very outspoken about my conservative beliefs. I’m losing friends, but gaining many more. God bless you for your patriotism.. I’m sorry I took so long to get here.

We are at a cross-roads and there are many who think and watch political movements and strategies that are on the lines of let it burn. I can’t tell you how many times the only real tools that are at our disposal have been shot down by our own side and ridiculed. As we solely and myopically concentrate on a single strategy that will – in the end – only propagate the Statist position, albeit at a slower pace, we overlook the hard work that really needs to be done. Education is number one – the real American history, the real Constitution. And we ignore an approach that has literally worked miracles in the past for the Civil Rights movement and that freed an entire continent of 300 million Indians from British colonial rule – that of passive-aggressive civil disobedience.

Your father reminds me a lot of my grandpa. He left us around 10 years ago. He always looked on the bright side and was always there to give advice.

I still miss him so much, and also my grandma that we lost a little time afterwords.

Yes we must all do our part in bringing this country back. As your father said, everything goes in cycle, and politics is the same way. We go from right to left and then back again. But it seems today we are lurching to the left faster than at any time before.

CW and RH: Appreciate so much your words. I will continue the fight regardless of that apathy and without pause.

weekend in Indianapolis and I don’t know when they may pick up again. You are correct that apathy is rampant. Whether we can work hard enough to counter the combination of apathy and propaganda is primary. Mostly I cling to the fact that we have truth on our side.

So many good things are going on throughout the country that give me just a little faith in our system. Our battle of the American spirit versus the darkness that is liberal socialism seems to be going our way for the 2010 election. The point is that we know what we are up against now, and greater numbers are joining the cause every day.

My dad is a WWII vet as well and I can only imagine how sad you must feel over his absence. It is a good thing to have a parent who loves you no matter what.
