I think one of the things that attracts me to conservatism is the idea that the American people will always be greater than their government. The idea that We the People can solve nearly any problem on our own resonates with me. We don't need the government to tell us what to do or to solve our problems for us. We just need them to protect our liberties and get out of our way.
In spite of everything liberalism tries to teach us, that we are weak, that we need government in order to be successful, that we are victims and are incapable of finding happiness on our own, I just don't buy it. We are the greatest people in the world. We have accomplished more than any other people in the history of the world. So why are so many people convinced that the only way to solve our current problems is to hand over a portion of our liberties to an extreme liberal government?
Tomorrow, we have the opportunity to exercise a great power that our founding fathers gave and trusted to us, the power to vote. We have to make our voices heard. It doesn't matter where we live, whether or not we think our vote will count, or how inconvenient it may be to make it to the polls, we have to vote. It is not just our right, but our duty. I am convinced that the legislation that is being passed all over the country does not really represent that desires of the people, but if we don't use our voice, how can that be made known?
Don't listen to the polls, don't listen to the political commentators, and don't listen to the news anchors, just vote your conscience. Study the issues, check your gut, pray about it, and don't sacrifice your moral convictions. Choose candidates and issues based on what will be best for your children and grandchildren, not just what will be best for you. I truly believe that if every American does this, we will always remain the greatest country in the world.
What do you think?
