I will not lie; it has been extremely difficult to get back into the mentality of writing political and social commentary this week. I am still thinking about Christmas and the coming of the Lord and the blessings of family and freedom. There fore it is necessary to resume the business of defending freedom, because I deeply desire that my grandkids enjoy the same blessings that I have and that I do my part, however small, to pass along the freedoms that my father’s generation passed to me.
For months I’ve been examining the GOP Republican field and I do wish to continue with a study of the candidates views on immigration, but first I want to do something I usually don’t and give some thought to the New Year, and what has to happen if we are to achieve the goal of saving the Republic and passing the baton of exceptionalism to one more generation.
2012 could be the year that the “tea party” or as I like to call them every day Americans, make huge and sweeping inroads to un seat the Republican establishment and make the GOP a true alternative to the Democrat Party’s extreme leftism. This is no small task and the resistance is great but it is not only a useful thing to do it is absolutely essential. I am no strategist but I simply do not think we have time to establish a third party, and build its base, to compete in a national election. Even though most Americans are pretty far to the right of the Republican establishment, the push from that group will always be to moderate toward the left, to attract the fictional moderate majority. While the far left, which has total control of the Democrat party sees compromise as a tool to erode the freedom of the constitution in bite sized pieces. This is the John Boehner approach to governing, is it not? Talk, talk, cave. Talk, talk, cave. We need stronger leadership, and many more true conservatives representing the Republican Party in both houses and in the White House. For the representation to align with the electorate than the Republicans should represent a strong conservative majority, the Democrat Party should represent the views of the McCain’s and Huntsmen’s of the world, the moderate pragmatism if you will, and the Obama-Reid- Pelosi- view should be a marginalized fringe with power in line with the insignificance of the scope of their base. I believe this is entirely possible and 2012 could be the year it happens or at least begins- or it may not.
2012 could be the year that Obama is defeated. I have said many times that I do not believe that defeating Barrack Obama is the goal, it is simply the first step toward the defeat of a mentality and philosophy that is crippling this nation and undermining the foundation on which our liberty stands. These ideas began to be put in place in 1912, they surged forward with the New Deal in the 1930’s, the war on poverty in the 1960’s, and the passage of Obama care in the first decade of this century. Obama and his minions merely busted through a bulwark that had been pounded for a century. You see electing someone else is not enough, we must defeat every idea every initiative of the left. 2010 was a disappointment in that we did not bring the ship of freedom back to the shore, but take heart we did throw out an anchor to stop the drifting out to sea. What small improvement we have seen is the result of Obama being stopped from doing any more whole sale harm. Don’t get me wrong, the justice department and EPA have plenty of power to destroy freedom and economic progress without the constitutional process of law. Not reelecting Obama is as crucial as breathing but it is just one step and a very small one at that. We must change the very nature of the debate from how much government may do to how much we can shrink government. We must change the debate from how much might we slow spending to how much we can really cut. 2012 could be the year, or it may not.
2012 could be the end, not the beginning of the end we are well passed that, or it could be a new beginning. We the people will decide. A while ago I was in a prayer meeting at my church and I looked up at the flags, and I really felt that the still small voice of the Lord said to me, “I am not finished with that flag yet”. Don’t get me wrong I am no prophet, America is not eternal, nothing on a finite Earth can be, but I believe with all my heart that the time of American greatness has one more time, that the day in which the Stars and Stripes calls out “Freedom and Justice” to all the world has another generation, or so to go before the end of all things. 2012 could be the year- or not.
You decide.
Until next time keep on the firing line.
