Alright you self-righteous, brain-addled wokies, you’ve had your tantrum and it’s now high time adults take control of the agenda. Oh wait…there are so few adults around that this boxcar we call a nation will continue to careen down the rails of the slippery slope until a crash occurs and we’re forced to rebuild almost from scratch. The price of freedom is allowing these sick, in many cases unknowingly evil people to get away with their warped and destructive rhetoric and actions. We would like to silence them, shackle them, neutralize the damage they’re doing using their tactics but if we do, we’re no better than they. As tedious and as difficult as it is and will be to wrest power and policy back from these idiots, we have to fight within the rules, such as they are, to restore sanity and substance to our nation.
I’m encouraged that more and more everyday patriots are getting involved, waking up to the nonsense/evil that has infested our school curricula, our town board agendas, and the vomitus we watch on television or hear on the radio. They are going to town meetings, attending parents’ nights at schools, talking among themselves openly about how screwed up things are.
I’m increasingly hopeful that what happened in November 2020 will not be repeated in 2022. Despite the fact that we haven’t seen perp walks associated with the shenanigans of the past six years (the wheels of justice do indeed turn slowly!), I don’t think the democrats are going to be able to pull off the ballot box stuffing and illegal rigging of the election process this time. Too many, including an increasing number of traditional-leaning democrats understand what happened in 2020, see what their foolish belief in the mainstream media bile and jump-on-the-anti-Trump bandwagon, thoughtless vote has wrought.
This time, God-willing and barring any unchecked, manufactured catastrophe and manipulation of the process, there will be far more strict adherence to voting rules and the COUNTING of the votes.
Unfortunately, I’m less confident that the leadership on the Right will use any newfound power wisely and forcefully. So concerned are some of the professional GOP swamp leaders about preserving institutions and being gentlemanly, taking the high road and being able to boast of bi-partisanship, with few exceptions they never capitalize on the power, when they have it, to truly turn things around.
Our country needs new and better leadership, plain and simple. It is not enough to point out the obvious – that the democrats have done far more damage to our country and society than good. We need heroes who can inspire our people to do what’s right.
Fortunately or unfortunately, America is a melting pot where diverse views of what’s right and wrong are all slopped together in a cauldron of political and regulatory soup. There are no candidates or leaders who embody all that is Right and behind whom the great majority of the country can rally.
Yet that’s what’s needed. Heroes who can and will inspire. Not shrill, not caustic, not pedantic, not hypocritical, but honest, articulate, deft, attractive, principled, incorruptible and persuasive!
I can find these traits, but they’re spread out and thus diluted among so many different people that there’s no one leader or group of leaders who have them all. It’s not Trump. It’s not DeSantis. It’s not Tom Cotton or Jim Jordan or Devin Nunes although with the latter we’re getting closer. Even Reagan wouldn’t cut it today.
No, our heroes need to be composites who can appeal to all generations: from Boomers to Gen Z’rs. The Boomers have wisdom. The Gen Z’rs are the inheritors. The former have to be able to instruct, inspire and mold the latter for a better, (note: NOT “progressive” as the Left pushes) world.
Maybe the heroes are Gen X’rs. Maybe Gen Y’s. They could be Boomers but they have to know the difference between iOS and Android, between WAN and LAN, between MeWe and TikTok.
Perhaps it’s better they haven’t yet emerged. They’re probably NOT swamp dwellers. They may be heroes in their current lives but probably aren’t. They may be unknown now but could be. They might come out of the woodwork like Ed Burr, the GOP truck driver who defeated the democrat senate leader in New Jersey. They might be people we already know who rise to the occasion. Whoever they are, our country needs them desperately.
I keep searching for them. Stay tuned.
