Too many GOP positions on issues such as regulation amount to no more than Democrat-lite, simply because they lack deep understanding of how free enterprise, private property, faith, charity, and the power of family really work. Worse, even if they do understand those principles, few have the courage to go after the disasters the Democrats have made.
As you know, I specialize in environmental issues. You would be shocked to see the degree of defeatism within the Republican Party on that front. IMO, it is in part because they secretly believe that regulation is a necessary evil and have no comprehension of the scope and depth of the environmental problems regulatory agencies have festered. Try to tell them that, lacking authority, and anything I say falls on deaf ears. It's maddening.
I have come to the conclusion that the only thing to do is to construct that authority, article by article, with video tours of my property if necessary. I would truly have preferred to have stayed a relatively anonymous teacher as I do not anticipate the impact upon my family with any relish. Time grows too short for that path any longer as the bricks of our prison build ever higher and Hillary looking like she'll get the keys to the gate unless something is done, and soon.
Fabulous post.
You're very brave.
It's one thing to post anonymously, but you've taken that step beyond to PROVE what works.
And bless your family for their support.
