So as I am sure you know our household was very disappointed in the recent election results. I didn’t post immediately following the election because this baby has been kicking my butt lately and I haven’t had the energy to post. A few things I want to address before going further. A couple things were brought to my attention that I want to discuss.
1. I was told that “now is the time for us all to come together” why exactly? I don’t agree with the plans Barack Obama and the other liberals that have for our country. If I recall the last 8 years the liberals haven’t joined hands with the conservatives so why now that the liberals have gained control we as conservatives must come together with the liberals? I guess the liberals want to supress the conservative point of view…there goes our first amendment huh?
2. The some of our boys are coming home is something else I have heard. Yeah have you been under a rock??? The war in Iraq has turned around and things are going well because the Surge WORKED!!!! YES I SAID THE SURGE WAS SUCCESSFUL! Oh and by the way there are women in the military too by the way. I thought many liberal women were very much into equal rights for women? Okay anyway that is off subject. By the way Barack Obama isn’t president yet seriously he doesn’t have the power yet to pull anyone out of either war zone.
I guess those were two things I felt needed to be addressed immediately before going forward. I believe that we as conservatives need to take this time as a time to reflect and get back to our roots. I heard discussion that people believed Sarah Palin was too conservative? Isn’t that what we are Conservatives? I think that people with conservative beliefs are looking for candidates and leaders that share their beliefs and don’t try to move away from those beliefs.
Here are some people that I would love to see with some more power/control in the Republican party and maybe even run for President in 2012:
1. Sarah Palin-I love this woman and think she will be very successful if given the chance. She has a way with relating to the Ameican people.
2. Mike Huckabee-He is a great man and I think he is someone our party and our country really needs.
3. Fred Thompson- This man has great potential and has great leaderships skills. He is one of my favorites.
ETA: 4: Bobby Jindal- He has a whole lot of potential and will be a great leader for this country!
I am cheering for a Palin/Jindal ticket in the future!!!
Okay on to something else. As conservatives we need to continue to focus on our beliefs and values. We must fight for what we believe in. I don’t think that Liberals will be successful anyway, the power they have will go to their heads and cause fighting amongst eachother. Look at History it has happend before!
So I guess that is my stance, I am taking a postive look on this and believe that the conservatives will become stronger during this time. But there is no way I am going to step away from my beliefs no matter what the liberals tell me! I wasn’t raised that way.
