Jim, I know, but I am really hurting.
I have been here for a long time, and walk the walk. But I am losing hope. It seems that we are losing the battles. I feel that it is time to hunker down. I appreciate all the you have done, but I am truly discouraged.
I am not going to change my beliefs, nor my voting. But ribs do not heal that fast, and neither do broken hearts. My heart is broken along with ribs, because no-one we have elected seems to pay a whole lot of attention to the basics.
Therefore, I grieve.
There are good guys out there. What we need to do is promote them and find more. I've said before that congressional term limits would have done wonders...but I digress...
Here's some of the good guys, people who seem to put principle over politics
In Congress...
Mike Pence (R-IN)
Tom Tancredo (R-CO)
Ron Paul (R-TX)
In the Senate...
Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Jim DeMint (R-SC)
There's more...but I'm tired...
Maybe it's time to start electing freepers...
I'm wondering whether the pain from your injury might have you feeling depressed. Take some time off. Rest up and heal up.
Jim is right. We've barely begun, and this struggle is going to outlive us all. The leftists have been advancing and consolidating for a hundred years. Our counter-attack has been going on for fifty, and only really began bearing fruit with the election of Ronaldus Maximus.
It has taken us much additional effort to get where we are at today with the Congress (which may not be as good a position as the raw numbers indicate). And, of course, we need to make some major progress on the Supreme Court. Here we seem to have suffered a setback this month, but even so, we would have had much further to go on the Court even if this last nomination had been a home run.
There are some big trends working in our favor, and some others working against us. So why even guess whether we are advancing on balance at any given moment? We know what our duty is. Let's do it as effectively and as cheerily as we know how, take care of ourselves, our families, and each other, and simply trust in His Truth to guide our cause toward victory.
