Thoughts on Our Country Going Forward

Well, it didn't turn out as I (and 56 million others) would have liked. But Mr. Obama is now our President elect. And with that position comes my support.

The media is already backing up. I find it hysterical to say the least. They are now questioning who Barack Obama is. I mean, come on guys - YOU are the ones that got him elected. NOW you want to question? I've even heard him called "creepy and cult like" by the drive by media.

And really guys, can we lay off Sarah Palin now? Does it really matter about her clothes anymore? REALLY?? Do we need to go there? Ms. Palin is already talking about a run for 2012. My guess is if she doesn't silence herself now, there isn't a chance in heck that the RP will put her up as their candidate.

What I've come to realize in this whole political process is that there are no true conservative candidates out there. The last conservative republican we had was Ronald Reagan who truly believed in less government. George H. Bush was certainly no conservative. I would even go as far to say that he was a little to the left. George W. Bush wasn't a conservative. He put on a good hat and tried to convince us that he was. But his overspending and pandering across the aisle tells a different story. John McCain was by no means a conservative. Sarah Palin was the most conservative out of all of them (very Reganesk) and the "moderate Republicans" condemned her for that. Even today, "insiders" are starting the scuttlebutt about her. They'll make sure she's a nobody by 2012 for sure.

Conservatism doesn't rest solely on the abortion issue or religious rights, yet that is what the left has made it about. Conservatism is exactly what our founding fathers wanted it to be - less government. If you continue to put free food out in the bird house, the birds will crap all over your porch. Basically, that's where we are today. We've fed the birds so much that they are crapping all over us. Since Jane and Joe take handouts, it MUST be okay for me to take it to. People, we're heading down the road to disaster. Self sufficiency is a thing of the past. We're creating a country of losers. Equality??? No. That's not what we're doing. We're weakening our strong. I, for one, am going to read every book I can get my hands on regarding Jeffersonian politics and spout it to every young person I know. Perhaps in the next generation, the conservative movement will reinvent itself.

We can only hope.....
