Conservatives - We Got To Keep On Truckin'
by Tom Balek, Contributing Author: talk politics with friends, acquaintances, family, and even strangers, all the time. You probably do too. Many of these people have a growing sense that something is wrong, but they have not been engaged in politics or receiving real news and honest information about what's going on.
They find their financial security under stress due to stagnant or declining wages and hours, difficulty finding suitable jobs or promotions, more work for less pay, relentless price inflation for most consumer items, and no place to invest their savings (if they have any) that offers reasonable safety and any kind of return.
On top of that, the people I talk to don't understand why their biggest concerns are not aggressively confronted by our government, while much attention is given to relatively small-scale issues, like gay marriage, or who should pay for birth control pills.
These ordinary folks are concerned about national security, education, health care, deteriorating race relations, privacy, property and water rights, and a host of other things, and they don't find comfort in the words and actions of anybody in Washington, DC - Democrat or Republican. Trust level is at an all-time low, but the guy on the street doesn't quite know what to do because he is not getting enough facts.
After I gave an interested but under-informed friend a mini-seminar on the many threats posed to us and our children by our over-reaching government's accelerating failure rate, he asked, "Where do you get all this information?"
Conservatives, this is our challenge. We can't let up. Not now. People know something is wrong, and they are beginning to seek the truth. It's up to us to keep putting that truth out there.
I lamented to Bill Whittle, renowned conservative blogger and writer, that it seems we conservatives mostly "preach to the choir" and seldom actually win a convert to the "right" side. Bill's reply: "There's nothing wrong with preaching to the choir. When the troops are in the trenches, worn out and outnumbered, somebody has to walk down the line, hand out some more clips of ammunition, and tell them to keep their heads down."
Keep your heads down, my friends. Keep on Truckin'. And keep Rockin' On the Right Side!
