It is very common this time of year to review the last year and look at what was good and what was bad. If you are a person who believes in “Traditional American Values”, “Faith, Family, Freedom, Friendship, and Fellowship”, 2022 was not a good year.
The year started with hope! The Left (which controls the Democrat Party) had finally overstepped their bounds, revealed themselves for what they really are. Every Traditional American really believed that the people would finally understand what was really going on and throw them out of power!
Unfortunately, the midterm election dashed all those hopes on the rock of Abortion.
Therefore, the Traditional American starts 2023 with a great foreboding. Those in power have spent the last two years destroying everything we hold dear. They are still in power and more emboldened than ever.
There are two common sayings about Hell:
“The road to Hell is paved with good intentions”!
A sign over the gate of Hell says: “Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here”!
I, for one, will not subscribe to either saying, and neither should you!
It is time to put aside your good intentions and follow another saying
“Work like everything depended on you and pray like everything depended on God”!
As far as the second saying goes, we may think all hope is lost, but I, for one, do not believe it!
Instead we all need to understand that what we did in the past no longer works!
The Democrats have figured out how to consistently win elections.
The Republicans keep reelecting leaders that have no clue on how to win elections!
Sorry, established Republican Party, that’s the Truth!
There is a reason that “Declined to State” is the fastest growing political party in the United States.
The entire political landscape has changed. It is no longer Republican vs Democrat. Those days are long gone. Today, it is the Ruling Class vs the Middle Class!
Sorry to say, the government at all levels, is corrupt! Even the talking heads, the so-called experts are starting to openly discuss the level of corruption.
It is time for Traditional Americans to understand exactly what the new political landscape looks like and figure out how to succeed in that political reality.
Traditional Americans know:
There is no such thing as free! All these so-called free programs are paid for by the tax payer!
Unless the rule of law is administered equally, the rule of law will break down!
Abortion is not a women’s health issue; it is the taking of a human life!
Why do so many Americans believe differently? The answer is simple:
The Left controls the propaganda machine and they are very good at it.
Our message is simple!
Traditional American Values work!
We keep preaching that message over and over, the problem is we are preaching to the choir! Solutions, we all should be big on solutions.
Organized religion has to stop worrying about their tax statues and become the leader in educating every American on what Abortion actually is. If this means supporting certain political candidates, so be it!
Traditional American organizations must find new venues to attract people from all political positions, yes even Democrats! We have a winning message, but it is being drowned out by the left’s propaganda machine.
The left constantly changes the language to make their message more palatable. i.e. Illegal aliens are now migrants. They have also made conservative a dirty word. Let’s level the playing field. We are not conservatives; we believe in Traditional American Values! We are not for voter integrity; we are for honest and fair elections where every eligible citizens is encouraged to vote! The list is endless!
There is a plethora of good ideas among those who read the New Mexico Sun. Share them with the leaders of all organizations that believe in Traditional American Values!
