Picking Up the Pieces

With Amnesty John in the lead for the Republican nomination, a lot of good conservatives are asking…What do we do now?

Many people have said they are sitting out the election. In their mind, a vote for Amnesty John is unthinkable. Because he has betrayed the conservative movement so many times, voting for him would be rewarding him.

There is also another line of thinking. This one goes something like this….. We either don’t vote or vote for the liberal. When they get elected and screw up the country and people see liberals true colors, we can elect a conservative who will set everything to rights.

There are two flaws to these lines of thinking. First, I don’t think voting for Amnesty John is rewarding him. Rather, it is voting for the lesser of two evils. We had a chance to voice our concern during the primary and we failed. You can blame a lot of things (Lord knows there is enough blame to go around) but what’s done is done. We now must vote for the most agreeable of the two choices.

Second, not voting or voting for the Democrat may hand the election over to the other side. What in the heck do you think a liberal like Hillary or Obama will do to our country? Do you think the damage done can be erased in four years after a conservative wins the election? (Provided they do) Remember folks what the stakes are. A liberal in the White House will hand the Supreme Court to the liberals. It will be the 60’s Warren court all over again. You can bet we will see more activist rulings from judges who think the Constitution is a “living document” By the time they’re done, the only people with rights will be terrorists and criminals. There is also the “Fairness Doctrine” If you think a liberal president won’t push for passage you must still believe in Santa Claus. If it's challenged, how do you think a liberal judge, nominated by a liberal, will rule? Can you imagine a Commander in Chief Hillary? (or Obama) What do you think he/she will do to our effort to defeat radical Islam? Both have stated they want troops out of Iraq ASAP. Yeah, that will send a message to our enemies. Sad to say, it will be the wrong one. Can you say Vietnam redo?

I’ve never been one to sit out a vote. I take my Constitutional rights VERY seriously. Many Americans, including, soldiers and minorities, paid a high price (some dying) so we can vote. . What would Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony and the many war vets think about this misguided thinking?

I think it’s time for conservatives to get back in the game of educating the American people. Why are our ides better than liberals? Once we educate the masses, I’m confident we will prevail. Conservatism just makes too much darn sense. Plus not giving a rip what the media thinks of us will help us too.

Once we educate, it’s time to hold Amnesty John’s and the rest of our elected officials feet to the fire. Remember, and this was brought up on KFAQ, Bush wanted amnesty for illegal aliens. Because of the national outcry, amnesty was stopped dead in its tracks. Let Amnesty John feel the heat; once he does, he may have a bona fide Come to Jesus moment.

I understand people’s anger and frustration at our Republican leaders. Believe me, I do, but the solution is not to chicken out of voting or voting for somebody we all know will do worse than Amnesty John.

I thought it was the liberals who wanted to cut and run?
