Most mornings I'm definitely encouraged by Cruz, Lee, Palin and a very few others. Then I slip back into my defeatist funk when I see men who I thought were patriotic stalwarts (e.g., Ryan, Rubio, et al) defect to the enemy.

I remember back in high school (in the late 60s) wondering how free people could defeat an ascendant and darkening tyrannical communist scourge. I clearly remember the hopes we had during the Reagan era, but I was so disappointed that even he could not eliminate entire parasitic agencies. I would have more confidence if we had more men and women who went to Washington to defeat the true enemy, monstrous government, than join it and live large off of it, America be damned. Our side seems to now have shrunken to simply delaying ObamaCare by one year. Who in Congress except Cruz speaks to the horrors of tyrannical out-of-control government? Why are all the Republican voices silent on this horror?

Daren Jonescu had a fine article yesterday in American Thinker on this topic: When Frogs Jump that gives hope. Be sure to read it.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, I will read the article you recommend.

But you must start reading the life of Washington, over and over, and start TODAY.

You have got to get over this notion that confidence comes from good things going your way..... IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

The founding of our nation by Washington et al., is so so unlikely, and the odds against them so astronomically great, but they sustained AND WON by their confidence, their optimism, and their faith in The Almighty.

And they were not ashamed to say so.

So must we be, and right now!
