Vote True

You all know me. I’m the little round guy with an appetite for pie and sarcasm. I try to be as funny as I can as often as I can. Humor and sarcasm are the tools I use to cope with stressful situations. In spite of being a jester I have an intense love for our way of life and our rural, Christian culture. Part of that reverence for our society is why I vote every time I get a chance.

We have to start revering our values and our culture. With voter turnout in our elections normally 50% or less, citizens just don’t care that much about our way of life. When we do care a little, we usually don’t do our due diligence on issues and how the candidates stand on them. We have to change that.

Society is changing at breakneck speed. Everything we have known or thought or felt has become challenged. The institution of the family is on the brink of destruction. The churches are increasingly marginalized. Now is the time to take a stand. Now is the time to define who we are and what we believe. Now is our time to be true to ourselves.

When I was not true to myself society left me. I’ve allowed the near destruction of everything I took for granted. I served in this country’s military for 20 years and I served it blindly. In the 70s when the media successfully branded all military members fascists and baby-killers, I hid my status and pretended to be a civilian. When the pro-choice movement said I didn’t know that a baby was alive, I went along to get along. When the Clinton Cartel ran the White House, I allowed them to insult and slight me, and all of our brothers and sisters in uniform. When Obama called us names, I gritted my teeth and closed my eyes. I kept quiet, but things just got worse. Now every aspect of life is sexualized in the most perverted ways possible and every virtue is condemned as hateful. If I raise any concerns I’m branded as racist, or a Nazi, or a half wit.

When it’s all boiled down, the attacks on our society are like a cancer that infiltrates every cell of our world. The lies we’ve been fed are malignancies in our lives. Being true to ourselves is like chemo against the radical cancer that is killing us. The only cure is to be true to ourselves. We have to believe our way of life is true and we have to act on that belief. We have to fight for ourselves and our next best battle is March 17th at the primary. We have to be true to our values. Our families deserve that we to be true to them.

There is a cure. We don’t vote red. We don’t vote blue. We vote true.

Fini.
