It Never Fails, Does It?

There is a company in Waukesha, Wisconsin that manufactures telecommunications and data equipment. It's name is Black Box. We have used their products successfully many times over. The theory was, at the time, that one needed not know what was inside the box doing the job for you. As long as things were moving along smoothly, nobody cared to ask just what was inside those "miracle" boxes. It was a brilliant marketing strategy that worked well for the consumer, and for Black Box also.

So, after last night's Obama speech, I was reminded of that little mystery box. It seems that all the Democrat strategy is inside a similar little box. A box, unfortunately, from which only approved strategies, and words,"just words", may be selected for public pronouncement. Now, without seeming confrontational, I confess to feeling a little sorry for rank and file Democrats. You know, old time Democats such as Scoop Jackson, Kennedy era, and FDR era Democrats also. That Democrat party was not a party beholden to the far left, nor was it "owned" by any single individual. Today's Democrat party is not that loosely structured. This, is bad, not only for the Democrats, but for America as well. George Soros is the keeper of the keys to that lttle box, and the posted sentries guarding it are egalitarian, and Marxist like in their makeup. Truthfully, there are many decent, and patriotic Democrats in America today. However, the Democrat "bread" needs it's "butter", and so, a deafening silence ensues. Caught between the proverbial "rock and a hard place", today's Democrats are leaders unwilling to lead; leaders who can't efficiently lead, because the extreme organizations who support them, in effect, rule them.

Upon listening to the uplifing speech offered by Governor Sarah Palin, of Alaska, the point regarding the "little box" was driven further home. Her selection to be John McCain's vice presidential nominee, was it appears, a masterful stroke by the master of masterful strokes. Her words echoed the words of free Americans. Not bashful, she outlined a stark contrast with the Democrat vice presidential candidate, Senator Joe Biden, of Delaware. I suppose the focal point here is one of openness, and of fresh winds blowing across the land. Such freedom is not available to the Democrats for fear of antagonizing not their base, but the Socialist minded organizations that support them with money, and with an uncontrolled frenzy at that.

In truth, American Conservatives have their concerns with a McCain candidacy. His positions vis a vis drilling at ANWR, and meaningful immigration reform, and let's not forget the global warming hoax, are especially disconcerting. I have found that many Conservatives have made their concerns known regarding these matters, by calling, and by writing, to Senator McCain. With but a few days more than two months 'till election day, it would behoove Mr. McCain to listen well, and carefully, to these potential supporters.

Thus far, the unfolding scene offers hope, and the brightest of futures for Republicans. It would be a crying shame to toss it all away, especially since it has been his adherence to Conservative values that has gotten him this far. We do not require soaring words, just the right words, spoken firmly, and honestly. We do not require a backdrop of Grecian columns from which to hear these words. We need but look into the eyes of this man, and see not his "soul", rather his commitment to the foundational principles upon which the United States of America was built.

Do all this, Mr. McCain, and you will find us all in there fighting to secure your election. We depend on you; America needs you. Are you ready?
