The Calm Before The Storm

...and so a new day has dawned. The price of milk has not changed. Cars are running. The sun actually shone brightly, and the weather was pleasant for this February day. What are we to make of it all?

You may bet that the strategists in the Arizona Senator's office are hard at work, plotting and scheming their way to the General Election come November next. I do believe that true Conservatives will wait nonetheless, before commiting themselves as supporters. How could it be otherwise? The most difficult thing to do for a Conservative, (I hope the good Senator understands this) would be for him or her to abandon or compromise their principled beliefs. In other words, the Senator needs more than a transformation. He must come to a fruitful realization. It is not yet clear he understands this to be the case.

Freedom, liberty, the Constitution, our country's safety, and the hopes and desires of our legal citizens are all at risk in this high stakes pursuit of power for power's sake. What is most baffling is the swooning over Democrat candidates whose only words to date are hope and change. How complicit are the print and electronic media in creating this frenzy? Aught we not worry over the sublime ignorance many Americans evidence as they go about their daily routines?

Yes, the clock continues to tick. Inexorably, the day of reckoning rushes toward us all. Socialism in it's most insidious forms is an answer to a question we should not be asking ourselves. Not now, not ever.

So, it is back to educating the grand children---a never ending job!
