If the last 50 years was “traditional conservative principles,” then we need new principles AND new leadership.
Indeed, you can try to resurrect the failed policies of the last 50 years, but I’m interested in resurrecting the founding LIBERTY and FREEDOM spirit of this nation.
You know, the “give me liberty or give me death” of Patrick Henry, and “those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety” of Benjamin Franklin, and the preference for “dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery” of Thomas Jefferson.
We are so far past the “conservative” wars that we spend our days fighting while we lose our country, the moral fabric of our nation and families, our patriotic spirit and duty, and our fundament rights and freedoms given by God not government. The Titanic is sinking, and you’re wanting to rearrange the furniture and change the wallpaper. This is emblematic of the out-of-touch lunacy that defines the geriatric “leadership” of both major parties today.
The “traditional conservative principles” of the last 50 years was more concerned about their retirements plans, golf handicaps, weekend barbecues, and annual vacations than they were the complete erosion of our freedoms, the stripping of our Constitution, tax theft of our own citizenry, and the absolutely abhorrent criminal behavior of our bloated government.
Many Republicans out here fighting who the “real” conservative is and touting the need for “common sense conservatives,” but I would contend that we need leaders of UNcommon sense, ABOVE average intelligence, and DIVINE wisdom, judgement, and discernment that can see beyond today to know how the variables and decisions of today impact the fabric of our society for generations to come.
The choice isn’t a binary, isolationist or globalist, as it was in the last century. We can and must continue being the greatest leader and nation of the world, the NATION among all nations, in every way, and standing for what is good, right, and decent as a human race, holding fast to that which has been true since the creation of the world: the ideal family structure, marriage, child rearing, good manners, civil and honorable virtues, noble stewards of the planet we occupy, personal fiscal and character disciplines, accountability, and responsibility in private and public life.
We either return to our founding unalienable Rights of LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS endowed to all people by their Creator, or we will fall like EVERY. SINGLE. EMPIRE before us has fallen.
*But by all means, let’s have whoever wins the social media influencer and meme contest be our next President. I’m sure that will fix things.
Carry on, didn’t mean to interrupt dinner reservations, your evening TV viewing in the recliner, or the book tour.
Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching before 2028. I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism” -
