Get Fired Up

Posted by: BillH in Politics

Michelle has some words for all of us grumbling, upset conservatives

If you can’t stomach John McCain, channel your support and energies to Republicans who do represent your values and who have treated the conservative base as allies instead of enemies. There are a new generation of combat veterans running for office who haven’t made a career of trashing the base.

Yup!   That’s the ticket.  Despite what the newspapers and beltway pundits have to say, conservatism ISN’T over.  Just like BJ Clinton wasn’t as bad as he could have been, and GWB wasn’t near as good as he told us he would be, so to will be the McCain or Obama or HRC presidency.  The genius of the system our Founders put in place was a system with enough checks and balances so that one person will never be king.  There are plenty of other men and women in other offices we need to support.  We also need to be living and spreading the conservative message all the way down to the community, even the family level.  That’s the only way the right things will get done.

Don’t sit and wait for the fence to get built. It won’t be finished under the Bush administration or a McCain administration or an Obama or Hillary Clinton administration. What you can do is pressure mayors and police chiefs and city councils to rescind dangerous sanctuary policies. What you can do is alert county sheriffs that you want them to work with the feds to end illegal alien catch-and-release policies in your neighborhood.. What you can do is stop patronizing businesses that you know are knowingly employing illegal immigrants using fake Ids and stolen Social Security numbers.

Did you notice that both of our senators voted to block the larded up Democrat “stimulus” package, and helped the Republicans get one right for a change and block Harry Reid?  Excellent job Senator Crapo!  Thank you.  And yes, you too Larry.  And for the rest of us, we need to get back to work too.  It’s going to take a whole lot more than a POS candidate like John McCain to kill conservativism.  That’ll only happen if conservatives lay down and give up on their own.  Don’t be that guy!  As Michelle says,

Get involved. Don’t calm down. Get fired up.
