America’s been down before and yet She’s always gotten back to her feet.
I mean, think about it; if you went back in time to right after the Vietnam War and told people that in another four or five years, a man would be elected president who would kick the Soviets out of the ring, turn back the communist tide, re-energize the American spirit, fix the economy, and perform all the other miracles that Ronald Reagan brought about, do you think anyone would believe you? Heck, I bet even back then, the RATs felt they had America in the bag and nothing was ever going to get them out of power. Well, history has shown just how wrong they were.
We can’t lose hope and we can’t give up the fight. That’s what the RATs are hoping for; for all we know, everything you’ve read and heard is just a lot of hot air, nothing but a big gamble that’s riding on conservatives giving up...and we can’t let that die roll in favor of the Dems.
During my quest to become a firefighter, I came across a man who said something that has stuck in my mind; he said “Nothing counts ‘til you have that badge...nothing!” And I believe the same thing about this election; Nothing counts until the last ballot drops into the box. Until then, America and American conservatism still has a chance.

I agree with a lot of what you said, however these are totally different times. In the 1960s, 70s, etc., we did not have the influx of illegals and such that vote now. This is what is out numbering us. The dims have added 12-20 million more voters while we cannot match that. We do things by the rule of law. They do it by breaking the law. At the end of the day, I think more people vote for “what’s in it for me”, “how much can I get out of it”, type attitudes, than vote for the good of the Republic. I love to listen to people in stores and public places talking about things like this. I hear more saying they want their piece of the pie, everyone else is getting it, yada yada, than I do hear talking about “I am voting for blank because he is BEST for the nation.” Listening to these people, it just leads me to see that people are more into it for themselves than the nation. If the nation suffers while they get theirs, then oh well. I just simply do not see us winning. We have so many wanna bees and few choices. Thompson maybe, Hunter cannot get recognition. No the MSM gives the air time to those they want out front knowing their socialist pals can be the Hulkster or Rudi. Like you, I hope we can get people out there to vote for what is right, but I do not feel that it is going to happen.
