We will not let down all those Pioneers who tamed the prairie and defeated socialism in their hay day. My friends, this day is ours! Get Grizzly right in your backyard!

Moving on

Alright now that I have the blog all set up, it is time to get to business. I have not really posted too much on politics in my transition from Typepad to here, so I thought I would do a post about my thoughts on the political landscape.

We now have Obama as President and we should be gracious and respect him on his win. He has a great campaign and was not rattled by anything. And the MSM and Elite in Washington gave him him a pass on his associations and his past. So we must get over that. We should not get into the same Obama bashing that the Left has done, we are better than that. Not to say we should give him a pass or not go after his policies, but we need to go after the policies and how they are destructive to our way of life. The taxes that Obama wants to implement will had a negative effect on the economy. His policies will bring us closer to Eurabia (European Union) standards which have been in decline over the past few decades. Their unemployment is much higher than ours and their socialistic policies have been a drag on their economies.

Do I think Obama will be able to drag us into a Socialistic government as the EU??? No I think that too many of the new Democratic CONgressmen elected will not let that happen. They are much more conservative or centrist than Obama, so he will not be able to enact many of his programs. But will he bring us closer to the Eurabia model??? Yes.

And as the minority Party we as conservatives need to try and stop his leftward direction he wants to bring our country.

How to do that???? We need to take the total different direction that the Left did with Bush. We do not need to demonize Obama as the Left has done to Bush. It is destructive and does not bring the country together. What we need is to explain Conservatism so everyone will see it as the better way to go than Liberalism. Our country has been divided for far too long.

We on the Conservative side need to show how Conservatism is better. Not just to say that the Left is always wrong . We need to learn from Obama and his campaign on how to inspire the country on the Conservative path. Onbama has done a great job in inspiring people to his cause. Not that is it the right cause, but that it is a cause that people can follow and believe in.

What do we as Conservatives need to do to inspire people to our cause??? Well, that is the million dollar question. The so-called conservative party (Republicans) have become Democrat Lite, and have left the core principles of Conservatism in the dust. When they had power, they squandered it by spending like drunken sailors and left Conservatives in a conundrum. Do we vote for the Democrat lite or not vote at all. And as we have seen, the conservatives stayed at home the last 2 elections.

So what are we suppose to do as conservatives???? Start a new Party???? Reform the Republicans??? Well, that is what this and many of the blogs and forums and groups that I have joined are trying to figure out. I think that the 3^rd party is not going to work,  It only hurts our cause more than helps. Others might think differently, but that is my opinion and many of my friends’ opinions. I am not going to castigate someone that voted for a 3^rd party candidate, that is your own choice. But it s not helpful, unless you get more support.

I think that the best way is to start locally and work your way up. Start with local candidates that are conservative and then bring them up to state and then national level. And I know that along with where I live that is going to be hard, we have not had a Republican here in 40 years, but that is where we need to start. But we need to find local diamonds in the rough that can do up the latter and hold true to the Conservative cause.

This is just my little opinion on what the Republicans need to do. Will they follow??? I have no idea, but me and my friends at Grizzly Groundswell, and many other adventures that I am in are trying to do just that. I and my friends can not do it alone. We need everyone that is on the Conservative side to join in this fight and get involved. Join in local politics, school boards and local government. This is going to take time and effort from everyone.

Just my 2 cents
