I am praying, Windflier, that you are right.
But, I fear that some of the very best will be discouraged by the past Dem attack machine. And, I can’t blame them, for we conservative polite people haven’t been willing to stand up and shout down the loony left.
There is a saying about bad money driving out good, and it seems to pertain to politics and social issues as well. When loony cranks start a ruckus designed to get media attention, we sensible people all sit on our hands, and figure that nobody in their right mind would support such lunacy, and that is our mistake!
We must start standing up, making noise, defending what is in our common interest, and decrying those who attack our values and beliefs. We can’t be the silent majority any longer. We must stand up to racism (black or white), socialism (class warfare), and the brain-dead media, who only want to carry whip up emotions.
Someone once said it best... and I forget who...
The media reports that someone, somewhere, cr@ps in their pant, and immediately Congress passes a law that we all now must immediately don Depends!
Absolutely. The left has only gained the power they have in America because we've let them.
It's in our nature to "live and let live", and so they've made inroads. Maybe even freeways.
But --- as patriots, it's also in our nature to stand up and knock some teeth out when we've had enough. Courage is also one of our attributes.
