The GOP Governors all met yesterday, and decided that Mitt Romney lost because he didn't offer enough specifics during the campaign. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Where were the specifics from the Obama campaign on economic policy? We haven't see a government budget in four years, and Romney lost because he wasn't specific? I don't think so! Republicans have been losing ground in national elections for dozens of years, because the progressive liberals and Democrats are following a plan.
Democrats, and especially the radical left-wing of the party, had decided long ago that if they wanted to forward their agenda of big government, shared sacrifice, and shared wealth, they were going to have to start from the ground up. They infilitrated our schools, our churches, our neighborhoods, our media, our entertainment, our city councils, local and state governmental bodies, and finally our national representatives. This took almost 100 years to achieve, and along the way, they helped to move popular culture from conservative, traditional family values to a secular, progressive, "tolerant" society. Obviously, some of the causes that liberals championed were important for promoting individual liberty (civil rights and women's rights), and there are some liberal social causes that I somewhat agree with (gay rights, legalizing marijuana). However, the secular-progressive war on religion is unacceptable in America, and their war on our Constitution is down-right treasonous.
Unfortunately, during this long period of time that the Democrats have been expanding their base and spreading their agenda throughout the country, conservatives and Republicans have been diligently working for a living, paying their bills, putting their children through school, and voting on election day. Conservatives believed that was all they needed to do to make sure their children had a better future. And for the last three generations, they were right. But now, the creeping progressive, big government policies that began with Social Security and other welfare programs, has grown into dozens of government agencies that regulate Agriculture, Geology, Education, Environment, Security, and Federal Reserve, is slapping conservatives in the face!
Republicans and everyday citizens allowed this to happen by believing we were doing enough to protect our country just by working, owning a home, shopping, paying taxes, and playing by the rules. We were wrong. While we were enjoying the comforts of our prosperity, others were plotting to take our prosperity away and spread it around to others who didn't earn it. Constituional conservatives can no longer sit on the sidelines of our local, state and federal agencies. We must take an active role in advocating for what we believe in. We must find new ways of spreading our message of individualism, hard-work, and self-sacrifice instead of collectivism, welfare, and shared-sacrifice.
Conservatives and Republicans are definitely not lazy, but we haven't put our energies into growing the conservative movement until now. Winning back the hearts and minds of the American people will be a long term proposition. We need to stay focused, continue to organize or conservative groups, and stop the in-fighting and work together. This war will not be fought or won easily, but together we take our country back!
