Wow … I just read back over the post I made last night.  I was a *tad* angry.  Nothing gets my blood pressure going like these morons who don’t treat this country and its symbols with respect, symbols for which I voluntarily served and defended.  Heck, I’m sure more than enough of Lord Hussein’s minions have no clue what his true political views are and just voted for him because he’s half-black and can read a teleprompter well.

There are so many days when I miss Ronald Reagan.  I am no longer a Republican, and I’m sure as heck not a Democrat.  I’m a Conservative first and foremost.  Throw the ideas of The Gipper in there, and I’m what you call a Reagan Conservative.  Those days are long gone, and I don’t think there are many Republicans now who can shine a light within a mile of what he did and said.

I’m not ashamed of my conservatism.  You can call me “old-fashioned,” or whatever you like.  I believe we all want the best for ourselves, but I believe more and more people are not willing to work for it.  They want everything handed to them, and that’s not what built this country.  Just like the woman the night Lord Hussein won … “Obama’s going to pay my mortgage and my gas.”  Please.  Get off your lazy backside and W-O-R-K!  Or … is that a bad four-letter word to you?

This country has fallen short of the ideas that made it great.  As I told someone at work today, I am thrilled Americans finally put a black man into office.  It shows the progression that’s been missing for so long.  However, they (I say that because I didn’t vote for him) decided to put this man into that place.  His socialist and near-communist views do not promote  self-betterment.  It’s all about the hand-outs now.  If I want to help someone, it’s because I want to.  Not because I’m forced to.

As I’ve ranted here before, I do not believe this style of HOPE and CHANGE are what we need.  The only hope I have goes into Jesus Christ, not some flawed man here.  The only change I want to see is a return to the beliefs in God that our country was founded on.

I believe if we do not return to that foundation of earning your keep and trust in God, we’ll crumble like Ancient Rome.
