Have Pride in Our Nation!

OK, I'm so sick of those who use our system to belittle others! This is a nation that was founded on faith and the freedoms that were quashed in other worlds. But, there are so many who use and abuse the very principles that were meant to protect us and raise us above the base of what people can become.

Take, for example, Westboro Baptist Church. How can we, as a society, condone one sick, small-minded group of people who use the guise of a church to belittle and demean others? For that matter, how can any of us use our pride as Christians to destroy others? As the "moral Right," how do any of us think that we have some inroad to what God thinks is right for our world? We know that He guides us by the original words of the Bible, but it's not for any one of us to use that against others.

As Republicans, we NEED to remember that we are not one, inspired group of peoples. We ARE Christians. We ARE Jews. We ARE heterosexual. We ARE gay. We ARE Black. We ARE white, and we have some mixes of pigment in between. We even do have Muslims who ARE Republicans. We do NOT want others to see us as bigots! Do we not realize that the Dems and those who sway back and forth see us just like bigots? They see use just like Westboro Baptist Church; and if any of you agree with what WBC has to say, you need to move along to some other hate opinion, because this is not the place for it.

We have the opportunity to sway lost voters to what we really believe is the best interest of this country. We believe in patriotism. We believe in the American flag. We believe in the National Anthem! We are a group that still has faith and pride in our country and what it has been in the past and what it can further become in the future! We're in this together, and we need to remember that, as long as any one person is proud to stand with us as a group (and mind you, we ARE equals together) they ARE with us. We are NOT to demean or condemn any other person for what they believe, even if they are ingnorant (joking, or maybe not).

When you're out, look to your side and wonder if the person next to you believes in a proud future for our nation like you do. If you think they do, reach out to them and find out what they really do think. We can't judge a person by our perceptions. That's when we lose votes. That's when we've lost future friends.

Each of you has to be inspired to make a difference! There are those who have no problem standing up and screaming from the rooftops what they believe (and it's not always with the best of forethought), but we need to have those people who believe from inside of them, sometimes very quietly, who can go out there and tell everyone else WHAT we believe in and WHO we believe in to take us there.

We have only a few weeks left; and while there are those of us who live in secure districts, we need to make this a statewide and nationwide fight. Get out there and show everyone else what you really believe in your candidate! Get out there and let others see how devoted you are to the future of our country.

Remember, we're NOT one group or another. We believe in the future together. To laud fellow Republicans, I applaud Coby Dillard who posted this week about the importance of bringing in the African American or just plain, "black" vote. I applaud Debbie Munoz and Zach Gelpey who are Jewish Republicans. I applaud Tito Munoz and Laura Ramirez who fight to bring in the Hispanic vote, as well as fight the Socialist influence coming in from South America.

Which one of us thinks that we're better than this? If you think you are, you need to meet these wonderful Republicans and what they represent for you. God bless us - all of us - ALL us! Get out there and make a difference - for everyone!

Stand up for our candidates who are giving everything they can for us. This IS your future!
