Rising from the Ashes

I have not posted for a while.  I was....pick an excuse.  But tonight, here I am, two days after the worst nightmare of an election in history.  Like many others, I was dumbstruck.  Once that wore off I was sad, heartbroken and hopeless.

Then, I found my hope again, because I do know that all things work together for good for those that love the Lord, and I KNOW that is true and I also know that God created this country and He loves the idea it is even more than we do.  I know how things are going to end, someday, whenever that happens, but until then, THIS COUNTRY, AMERICA, is and will be the one great hope in the world, that shining city on the hill that points the way for the world.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I tend to pass through phases emotionally.  I've done sad and I have cried, I've done hopeless and pouted, I've grabbed my boot straps and dang near pulled the things off trying to make myself stand up again, I've teetered, but I am still standing.

Tonight, I took the last step.  After my feet were planted firmly on the ground, I leaned over, I picked up that flag and I held it high in the air.  As I looked at it, I see the holes this cancer called progressive has eaten into it.  And then I got

                                                                             MAD                                                                      

I am again ready to stand and fight, but this time, much more aggressively.  This time it is going to be with boldness.  No more being afraid to ruffle feathers for fear of chasing someone away.  No more standing back and letting the "professionals" handle it, because as is obvious, they cannot or will not, take your pick.  So, WE will do it.  WE will go out there and educate the electorate so that when someone walks up to them on the street and asks them a question about an issue of the day they won't sound like tape recordings of the latest spin from MSNBC. IT IS PATHETIC!

We don't need to WIN people.  We don't need to DRAW people, we need to EDUCATE people.  Our schools obviously are not doing it and what they are doing is creating a bunch of little liberals and progressives, who become more good little parrots.  Obama want a cracker?????

So, let's do it.

I think the first thing we need to do is start developing a network.  It will take time, but we have a little of that.  It is a simple process.  We need ONE person from each state to begin.  From there it will grow.  It will be a central place where people can go to find out how to get information, have questions answered honestly and without spin.  There will be no agenda, party affiliation, anything like that with this network, it is strictly for the purposes of helping all of us to educate the electorate.

The 2nd thing we can do is collect ideas about how some of the issues of the day can be solved, and perhaps we can come to some compromises and resolutions our government has not been able to do.

The 3rd thing is to go out there and educate this electorate.  You are not going to be able to persuade them all, but based on preliminary observations, it looks like 10% is all we need.  That should be doable, very doable.

All the little groups, the Tea Party, the whatever else group, affiliate, conglomerate or whatever else can continue to do whatever it is they do, but this can be the one thing that links us all together, and maybe we can even all come to some consensus on some of the issues.

My greatest fear is that there will be those that want to start a 3rd party, or change the makeup of the Republican party.  Then we end up a 3 party system or more, and at that point all hope will be gone.  And let me remind you, the Democrats/Progressives would love nothing more.  So much so that they themselves would likely work feverishly to make that happen, maybe even lead it.  Remember, our foe is devilish!

Some of us are going to have to give a little, some of us, maybe a lot, but we MUST come together, or we will end up giving it all, and now we know for certain that can happen.  We must also realize, there is always more than one way of doing things.

I will post a couple of ideas tomorrow.

In the meantime, PLEASE, above all, make your agenda America and not yourself or your own interests.  You can be a grand leader at some point if that is what you want, but right now, just please, lets all work together to save our country, she is bleeding to death:((  PLEASE!
