New Normal?

It has been my instinct to resist the “new normal”, but having given it some more thought perhaps rather than rejecting the new normal we should try to shape it:

We see how easily freedom is threatened so let’s make it normal to restrain all law by the limits of the constitution.

We see how wrong experts can be so let’s make it normal to base our decisions on common sense.

We see how dangerous and destructive centralized power is so let’s normalize the idea that the individual is sovereign over his/her own life.

We see how easily timid people are cowered by an overreaching government so let’s make boldness the new norm.

We see how dangerous it is to be dependent on foreign sources for essential products so let’s make it normal to produce those things domestically.

We see the destruction that results from nonessential businesses being closed so let’s make it normal to respect the property rights as well as the contributions to society of all citizens.

We see how power corrupts even trusted leaders, so let’s make it normal to overthrow incumbents who stray from their trust.

i don't think it is an exaggeration to say what happens in the next months will determine the course of the nation going forward for the foreseeable future and beyond. for too long we have merely sought to stop the worse things the left does but now we need to be the aggressors we need to be bold and set the agenda ourselves not simply react to their agenda.

The progressives have driven the debate since the early 1900's so its our turn, if we make it our turn.

Keep on the firing line.
