Will reading blogs, listening to talk radio, and voting conservative get the results you want? Will it change the direction of the government currently undertaken by the liberals in Washington? Will it return the economic and individual freedoms you once thought were automatically part of being an American?
The bad news is the answer is no. It just does work that way, at least with the opponents we face.
Reading blogs (such as this one) and listening to talk radio builds conservative networking and lets us share ideas. Voting against liberals is good citizenship, but we often do not have a conservative choice to make us proud. When you think about it, the bad news is not all that bad.
The good news is we face these opponents together and we are becoming stronger and more united each day. The better news is we have more resources than they have. We are the producers. We generate the wealth and provide the jobs. They cannot survive forever without us.
So now we need to git er done.
Today is tax day, April 15. There are tea parties in every nook and cranny in the country. The people organizing the tea parties are not allowing politicians to speak. They are telling the politicians to listen. Some will, some won’t. Does not matter. What matters is we are changing our priorities. We no longer believe we can go to work each day, build a great country, and then trust Republicans to represent us. That change in priorities is important. Liberals made politics their top priority for decades, while conservatives made production of goods and services theirs. Now we will spend some of our money and energy on shaping politics. As with most things we do, we will succeed.
The conservative activist movement is new. We will learn as we go. We will do many things differently than the liberals. But we will do some of the same things, too. Like the liberals, we will spend time and money.
We will network amongst fellow conservatives. We will do our research so to speak intelligently when discussing important issues with nonbelievers. We will not make sweeping feel-good declarations as if that is the truth which all must believe.
We will work the grassroots to find, encourage, and support conservatives in quest of political office. Some of us will actually run for office. Just like Sarah Palin first ran, coming from the conservative grassroots level. We will not blindly support any old Republican running for office.
We will donate to causes which advocate for our conservative agenda. We will not donate to Republican candidates who are not conservative.
We will attempt many other things. Some will succeed and some will not. But we will learn from our mistakes like we do in our productive endeavors. That will make us smarter, stronger, and winners.
We will GIT ER DONE!
Mr. Head’s Two Cents - Mr. Head has started a web site about his local U.S. Representative, Alan Grayson. Mr. Grayson is a freshman Democrat of the big spender persuasion. The web site is called GraysonWatch.org. The purpose is to create a repository of tax payer abuse which will be available for a future conservative challenging Mr. Grayson in 2010. Mr. Head will make the technology available for other conservatives wishing to do the same in their district.
