What happened with the Contract with America of 1994? Where did all of the Reagan Conservatives go? What happened to the representatives of We The People? When did We The People get replaced with We The Politicians? Ronald Wilson Reagan! Wherefore art thou?
The original Contract With America is here . The 21st Century Contract With America is here .
The real question is, why did the GOP wander so far away from that which catapulted into prominence? Was it power? Was it the constant and incessant barrage of the Socialist Left dogma, mantras and pathetic slurs, innuendos and lies? I have written several Congress Critters asking these same questions and none of them have answered. Could it be that they now know that they have been “had” and are too embarrassed to respond? Now that they have been removed from their vaunted political emplacements, will they now speak up? Is it too little, too late?
Has the recent Congressional Quagmire over dissing our troops awakened a new vitality within the GOP to RETURN to that which emplaced them in the first place? You see, members of the voting class within the GOP make up the Army of the Silent Majority. We don’t act like the digits in the DNC and get all vocal, nasty and vicarious. We just stay home and don’t vote. That has become an ill-founded logic and a major mistake. Look what it got us. It got us a bunch of jerks claiming that their victory in November 2006 was all about the war. I haven’t seen any evidences of that except that which I hear on the MSM, aka LSD-Press, news briefs. From what I have been hearing, the elections were more about a change in government. The DNC types showed up to vote and the GOP types stayed home, thus, sending this message, “Y’all are screwing up”. Again, I claim that to be a faulty alternative to being more active and vocal.
A friend of mine preaches this from his pulpit: “It is time for the Silent Majority to rise up and defeat the Vocal Minority”. I am hereby pronouncing an edict…of sorts. Silent Majority! ARISE, and be counted! Action is what is needed. No longer is it acceptable to sit on your haunches and shake your heads in disdain and disgust. If you are disgusted, SAY SO. Write your Congress Critters! In this day of email and web mail, there IS NO EXCUSE for your laziness!
OK. I feel better now.
Seriously now. If “we” the Silent Majority continue to sit on our rear ends, we will be fighting in the streets taking our country back from the socialist hordes now in the Congress. What will we tell our children? Will they wonder why we did nothing when we could have done something?
