MEMBER DIARY

Totally and completely burned out. Toast.

I am amazed at how God blessed my participation in the blogosphere in the past, and politics in general. I feel like I made an honest to God difference – for the right reasons.

I also know that now is the time in which we should be engaging in public discourse as our freedoms and liberties are in peril – and I am loving the grass roots movement tearing through the national scene. God bless those who question with boldness and courage and passion.

Instead I couldn’t help but to do no one should ever do: look over the shoulder and reminisce without energy to push ahead.

Maybe it is just a natural cycle of things. Perhaps it is, as Peggy Noonan noted two years ago, simply a matter that my time is past.

My stomach does not yearn for the present fight within the Republican party, yet I believe in the underpinnings of what is necessary and good to set things right and pray we will not settle for mediocrity.

In either case I find my self Cheering for Rubio against the oompa loompa overlord – yet shaking my head in disbelief over the false dichotomy set in motion during Delaware Senate primary.

To that end I find my self bound to twitter and simply providing friends and collegues insight of roots and snares which engulf the process with little energy for much else.

I suppose am burned out. For that, I apologize.

    R&R is needed for those in the trenches. Better to recharge your batteries than to have them irreparable break.

    Thank you to the kind words mentioned here. It is is appreciated and I agree.

    Its been a long journey and to be clear, my post isnt meant as a sign off – but as an open apology for not having the stomach to follow through with the struggle as it may need to be fought.

    The last few years have been brutal for politics here in Missouri and abroad. I am fairly sure that the best man has not won in a number of races with bitter lines being drawn in the sand.

    Lincoln once said a house divided against its self cannot stand. Yet I cannot escape the fact there is a need to return to ignore the media elite pushed lines of policy and return to our roots.

    So is your point to motivate by insulting me?

    If so, as usual, you fail.

    Please return to the media hugging rock which you crawled from underneath.
