I love my country.....andd I won't give it up (Vanity)

[St. Louis Conservative]

I'm tired of hearing the refrain...."the GOP is dead"....and "the country is going down the tubes the way of Western European socialist countries".

I'm sorry, I won't accept that.

I'm willing to bet most of the people parrotting these lines are old, grizzled, bitter men who are cynical bastards to begin with.

Here's the deal.....I'm a 20-something conservative who loves his country and the values, traditions, and institutions it was founded on. I refuse to accept that it is all for naught at this point.

Yes, we lost two VERY tough elections. The Democrats are aggressive in pushing a socialist agenda. I understand that can discourage many conservatives....me included. I just refuse to give up and concede the country that I LOVE!

Common refrains I hear are:

1. Demographics are changing this country and eliminating any chance of a conservative renewal.

A: Well, Irish Catholics not too long ago voted straight ticket Democrat 100% of the time. Blacks were solidly Republican until the 1960s. Are you telling me conservatives cannot win arguments with Hispanic voters to bring them to our side??? Only if we write them off!!!! People who take the demographic argument are making a borderline racist argument. Yes, the Dems have made an effort to institutionalize minorities into government programs, but they are doomed to fail. Let's start winning some arguments! It aint' that hard if you really try.

2. Young people are indoctrinated in schools and universities.

A: Hogwash. Another baby-boomer argument. The students at University of Missouri were NOT a bunch of brainwashed lefty ideolgues. Don't underestimate he power that the booming economy of the 1980s and 1990s had on our youth. There is much less drive to go out and protest capitalism and American icons like there was in the 1960s. Lefty protesters were largely laughed at and ignored by most people at Mizzou. They received the press coverage, but there are NOT representative of the Gen X/Gen Y generation as a whole.

Final comments:

I believe in the power of goodness. America is a special place. Freedom is a universal value. The GOP and the conservative movement et al needs to start pushing this hardcore. The Obama Democrats have morphed into Soviet central-planners, and that will NOT fly. It won't. C'mon, FRiends. I will NOT give up my country to these people. I'm young, and I want to raise a God-fearing, freedom loving family in the greatest country in the world. I won't accept an Obamacized America with central planning and secular progessivism run amok. Sorry, I won't....and I'm not alone.

All you moronic, cynical old nellies can just bother not responding to this post. This is for optimistic freedom-loving Americans ONLY.

God bless all of you, and God bless America...the country I love.

You are 100 percent right. I am sick of this pity party that I am seeing here. It is actually very humorous how grown people are crying over spilt milk. Sad actually.

[napscoordinator]

Yes in this country we have more minorities and immigrants then before

I am not sure of that. What about when the Irish came over in droves? Or the Germans? I am not sure that we every didn’t have minority groups and immigrants. The reason that it is in the news is because the folks coming to American are from one country over.

[napscoordinator]

they are not a bunch of “social justice” activists like the loser Baby Boomer generation was.

Needs to be shouted from the rooftops especially the loser part. What a tragic and disgusting generation the whole group of Boomers are. I am thankful that I am in generation X which has run full circle around the previous generation. My parents are baby boomers and they agree with my assessment of the disgusting boomers.

I’m not sure what that picture is supposed to mean.

The Republican party can come back in a big way, if they’ll just return to first principles.

If your aunt had ba***, she'd be your uncle.

It's time for something new.

Many described Solzhenitsyn so near the end of his life. Twain likewise. And General Sherman, and long before the end of his life.

” People who take the demographic argument are making a borderline racist argument. “

Your liberalness is showing. The arguement is not racist, it’s based on Socialism. The dems are offering them free stuff on our dime.

Considering ACORN, campaign money from all over the world ending free speech, National Police force.

Not to mention nationalizing banks, insurance companies, auto makers and soon oil and gas our fate is sealed.

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.”

And from Jefferson - “Those who beat the guns into plows will plow for those who don’t.”

With the largest transfer of wealth now going on we will soon all be poor.

“Tax the rich, till there are rich no more.”

“the country is going down the tubes the way of Western European socialist countries”.

Good. How about you 20 something conservatives show up at local government meetings. The 20 something attendees at local council meetings are usually Marxists, eco-fascists or bed-wetting college liberals. Attend local government meetings and take back our neighborhods from the liberals.

How about you 20 somethings play detective and follow around the liberal council members and nail them for holding illegal secret meetings. It happens all over the country. With your state’s open meeting laws you can sue them, get leftist ordinances nullified, and even throw them in jail.

Start with that. There’s more chores I can come up with.

[Oberon]

It's time for something new.

I think I prefer something old: The old idea of personal responsibility, the old idea of personal industry, the old idea of personal liberty.

I will support the party that promotes these things. I will support the party that will restrict the Federal government to its Constitutionally-prescribed limits, cut the budget, cut taxes, and secure our borders.

It makes no difference to me if that party's name starts with "R" or not. If they're the party of these first principles, they get my vote.

[omronnie]

I think you and SarahCuda need to hook up ASAP.

You and she would make a team that I would VOTE for.

I have really had it with Snow, Spector, et al.

It’s refreshing to hear that the younger generation
hasn’t given up on the American dream.

[SkyPilot]

It means that voting fraud and corruption have irrecovably changed our Republic - and we cannot correct it.

- ACORN (who is tied to Obama by the umbilical chord) is a criminal organization that now receives Billions (per the "stimulus") so they can steal votes

ACORN To Get $$$ MONEY From Obama Stimulus Plan

Republicans Object to Stimulus Dollars for ACORN

- The next census is already rigged, with the Democrats ready to count millions of illegal immigrants, double count people, over count people (in "selected" areas of course), and totally politicize the system

Guess who's "helping out" in the 2010 Census? ACORN!

We need to realize Obama is not a President - he is a Dictator. His latest criminal plan to take over the heathcare system while changing the voting rules of Congress is proof positive of this.

Our nation is composed of millions who applaud being his slaves.

All the talk about "taking our country back" in 2010 (by many, I know you didn't say this on the forum) is ridiculous. Conservatives cannot "take back" in a couple of years what is being stolen from them daily.

There is one major difference between the Irish dems of old and the illegal aliens of today; ideology. The Irish immigrants came legally from a country with little to offer, and wanted to BECOME AMERICANS so that they could create their own self-reliant American dream. To them, becoming an American was a blessing worth working very hard for.

The illegals seeking amnesty care little for Americans, American laws, or American customs. They are hard-core Marxists, and have been raised that way from birth. As a culture they have squandered the boundless oil and mineral wealth of Mexico in favor of violence, blame-gaming, and largesse. An overwhelmingly large percentage of them are career criminals, or think that the United States is illegally occupying Mexican land in the US southwest... and that that land should be taken back by Mexico. They spit on the American flag and everything that flag stands for.

The ONLY reasons they want to become American citizens are: A) fear of law enforcement, and; B) to vote themselves more public benefits from the federal government, which they will do BY VOTING DEMOCRAT. As such, the amnesty movement must be opposed at ANY NECESSARY COST.

I admire your optimism, and your post is inspiring. You will steadily refine and sharpen your conservative philosophical foundations over the next few years, and now is the time to get involved with campus and local conservative groups. Growing the grassroots movement is what needs to be done to reawaken conservativism in government, and to educate the electorate aross the nation. Grow your mind, grow your sphere, and you will igite the movement.

I tell you what when I see a ground swell to get rid of "racist" groups like LaRaza, NAACP, The Hispanic Caucus and the hundreds of other race based & culture changing politcal & lobbying groups then we can talk othwise that is all it is..."talk".

[DNME]

And the best part is that WE can fix it. All of it.

Just don’t re-elect ANY of these damn celebrity “representatives” we keep sending to Washington! It’s that simple! All of them ... OUT!

Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank … OUT!

Harry Reid, John Murtha, take your pick … OUT! ALL OF THEM ... OUT!!!

Can you imagine how much better this country will run with those clowns out of office? Elect REAL people with REAL values and we can turn this around.

Vote for ANYBODY ELSE in the next election. Anybody at all.

I love my country.....andd I won't give it up

You wont, but most conservatives will, and they'll run at the first sign of trouble.

Liberals scare them to death, as they run from one state to another, trying to escape them.

But that's OK.

People that pick up and run like this, won't be of any help to anyone anyway, as they'd do the same thing again, regardless of where they live.
