Conservative Indolence

I don't blame liberals for liberalism any more than I blame gravity for breaking a dropped glass. Liberalism is what they do; it is what they are. Sure, I get frustrated when they do liberal things. I rail when they siphon off half of my paycheck. I fume when they accuse others of the very things they have been doing (bad economics, racism, greed, etc...). I seethe when they steal elections and then perform their victory dance in the street. The problem with all of this; the frustration, railing, fuming, and seething; is that it actually accomplishes nothing. The source of the problem, and the focus of my blame, is conservatives... or should I say, conservative indolence.

Sulking on the couch while you watch "Hannity and Colmes" every evening is hardly going to repair the damage. Action is what is required. Thomas Jefferson once said, "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent". People of good conscience... that would be you; the average, hard-working, law-abiding American citizen. You have to stand up. You have to speak out. You have to ACT!

You have more power than you think you do. You create huge corporations; you employ America; you produce miracle drugs; you built the Hoover Dam, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge; you have secured freedom for millions around the world; you wrote the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and then fought to defend them. You are an American. This is your country. Washington is powerless without you.

This great nation of ours is now in jeopardy. Will we allow a group of liberal elitists take over our private businesses, our private land, and our private lives; or are we going to fight? Liberty was not won with peace and love and bi-partisanship and that is not how it will be saved. Don't let them talk over you; don't let them label you; and most importantly, don't let them win. Now, let's go out there and get our country back.
