2009 A Year That Will Not Be Forgotten
2009 Was a good and bad year for me. I was handed my walking papers politically but also started the next best chapter of my life.
The year began with the malaise of Obama’s Presidency along with big Democratic majorities in Congress. I, along with millions of Americans, puckered at the agenda and true to form, the Democrats raced America toward socialism.
Along with the Democratic takeover of America (and please don’t forget that Democrats held Congress for Bush’s last 2 years), came the GOP’s civil war. I was cast aside. Which still hurts, but you can’t get far with the establishment when you refuse to sell your soul and believe principles are to be stood on. Add to that my distrust of the Ron Paul Revolution/Campaign for Liberty, and well, I got my ticket for the nose bleed seats.
Which is all fine because work is taking more and more of my time in this economy. Add to that starting my new life with my fiance and new home, and well, it all seems to be part of a grander plan.
2009 was a year where I learned priorities. Family and fortune must come first. Volunteer politics used to run my life, and well, it nearly ruined it. I now see that wisdom of the homefront and happiness. The truth is, I’d much rather spend my time with family then I would arguing politics. And frankly, who really cares what I have to say anymore.
Politically, I feel pretty irrelevant right now, by the design of the corrupt power hungry, and I guess I have to thank them. I am free to be what I what, do what I want. I feel liberated and proven right.
Obama and the Democrats in DC and Minnesota are one trick ponies: Big nanny state policies where Government designs society and prosperity is rationed by bean counters and social engineers- as I have been telling you all along.
The Republican party is run by people who listen to uber rich country clubbers and beltway pollsters. Principled people are not allowed to work their way from the grassroots on merit, and unfortunately good guys finish last with a quiver of arrows in their back. Power corrupts absolutely.
This blog, due to my expulsion from the GOP, work schedule, and new found love for a real life, is pretty worthless now.
Looking forward to 2010, I plan to enjoy my new found freedom to enjoy life. My new found love for companionship. My new found desire to shoot guns. My new found liberty to be who I want and do what i want politically. I will still help some candidates, should they want it. I will still try to blog, but I’m resigning to the opinion that I have little to offer you can’t find somewhere else. I never did this for others, it was always for me, I guess the time to do it is just not a priority anymore.
I will never be able to not think about issues and politics, but I don’t think I can see myself actively involved in politics with the current crop of leaders in the GOP here. Maybe things will change, maybe this is just a phase I’m in. Look, I just don’t have faith in the people running the show right now. They are still the same people who sold their principles in the past. What makes you think they have changed? They are wind socks who follow paychecks and polls, not pioneers and visionaries.
So what is my plan for 2010?
Be happy. Do what makes me happy. When the moment is right, that will mean helping people like Tom Emmer, Congresswoman Bachmann, and other candidates I believe are in it for the right reasons. But i will not let politics run my life anymore. I will be the best fiance and family man I can.
Feel free to keep checking back for my opinions and happenings in my life. I can’t promise to be prolific, but I can promise it will still be 100% AAA.
Oh, and 1 more goal for 2010, to deal with my old house. I am in limbo on that right now. To rent or find an agent who can help me sell it, that’s my primary goal for January.
So happy new year folks. I hope you have as much to look forward to as I do. I am looking forward to 2010. This may just end up being the best year of my life.
