Ronald Reagan once said that Americans spend too much of their time second guessing themselves and their values. Of course he was absolutely right, and a cursory look at the state of our culture underlines that fact.
Most of the second guessing and criticism of traditional American values comes courtesy of the modern progressive (read liberal) movement, its politicians and its cheerleaders in the mainstream media. But does this give conservatives the right to wallow in negativity and act defeated? And just what exactly does it accomplish when they do?
Whether its talk radio, Fox News or online, you dont have to pay attention for very long to come across conservatives blaming our problems on someone else. In fact, its not a stretch to say that you come across far more of that than you do anything that would help advance informed action and make a difference.
Its a conservative persecution complex.
Were far too focused on what our opponents are doing, rather than on what were doing, not doing, or need to do. And were not getting mad enough at ourselves for not doing more.
As Solomon put it, The hand of the diligent shall bear rule, but the slothful shall be under tribute. So, are we bearing rule or under tribute? We dont have to look any further than the news to figure it out. Trillions in debt, millions of abortions, tax-payer funded abortion, Obamacare mandates, gay marriage, people losing businesses because they refuse to violate their right of religious conscience, etc. The list goes on and on.

What seems to have caused you to excerpt your own material?
Not much for comments are you?

I don’t suppose IRS targeting conservatives means anything, nor misrule by leadership, nor liberal ideology on restricting the rights of those they oppose -Conservatives- means anything?
Also, if you are the author, why excerpt your own stuff?
I give webhits to no-one who excerpts their stuff unnecessarily.
Pogblimp.
They are blimping their pogs.
Troll.
Conservatives have to get out of the persecution mentality and into a winning mentality that begins to feed on itself. And that starts with taking action.
nice blog! i like it... i would agree with the above if it were about Republicans and not conservatives... but you could be right... it could be that conservatives are not doing enough in addition to pointing out what is wrong... hmmm... i have to think about this more...
Pogs are being blinmped? Is that even legal these days?
No, definitely not.
It’ll make you go blind and grow hair on your palms.
Your nose will also mysteriously grow callouses for absolutely no reason.
And then you get singing telegrams dressed as fire hydrants.
Dunno why, but they show up.
Terrible!
If only we had a PSA to warn people!
