To Everything There Is A Season

It’s refreshing to be beyond election time and focus on other things even if my candidate didn’t win.  Even more refreshing is to hear all these bitter rivals within the government speaking of unity and working together to make the U.S. a better place – even though we all know they’re faking it.  But fake it we must, because that is just good manners in American politics and to not do so would make you an outcast by those considered the least principled in our society, the politicians.

With all that being said, we must support the new president even though the democrats didn’t support ours.  The season for verbal political warfare is drawing to a close and all our heros are returning to their appointed places.

I’m among the formerly well off who has lost everything in the last few years.  As a former business owner, I haven’t yet mastered the fine art of being an employee.  When upper management gives a threat if I don’t do something, I get this strong urge to do the opposite and I usuallly do.  President elect Obama doesn’t have to worry himself with the task of distributing my wealth, it’s already been distributed.  So, for me and many others like me, this is the season for starting over.   I might as well have fun with it and consider it an adventure.

We have an economy and a housing market to rebuild.  Job creation has to be priority one.  Incentives for starting new businesses need to be initiated on the local, state, and federal levels.

The struggling economy has created new opportunities like the strong interest in changing the tax system.  The timing has never been better to promote a federal consumption tax and do away with income tax.  The American public is open to change like never before and it would be a shame to waste the moment on fruitless infighting.

This is also a season for rebuilding our moral principles.  Human life has to be protected.  Abortion as late as 9 months into a pregnacy is legal in this country.  With an unfettered liberal President and Congress, those of us who believe in the sanctity of human life must lift up our voices like never before.

The soul of our nation is at stake.  As conservatives, we are needed now more than ever to challenge the immorality of liberalism.  We cannot abandon our fight for what is right during this season of change and rebuilding.
