Moral imperative of conservatism

If not me, who? Who will tell it like it is? Locally or nationally, citizens, powerful and powerless, are buying into creeping socialism. Yet socialism is not American. A local, liberal mayor who polled a 90% disapproval rating because of the installation of red light cameras at certain city intersections to generate more revenue ( under the guise of safety concerns), now proudly announces that the recent revenue of red light violations, $91,000, will be put to use - wisely - for laptops for police to enable them to have "the right kind of equipment." Theft for spending - a liberal mandate - is alive and well. This same mayor - dictator in situ - brazenly brags about the uses to which the stimulus money from the government, in actuality theft from his constituents, will be spent. Not content with his unacknowledged hypocrisy, he applies his bragging rights to grants, funding and programs, either upcoming or now in place, paid for again by his local citizenry. When complaints are raised, from a few or from many against him, his position wins.

I quote from an author writing about a British leader, O’Conner’s, combat successes in the war in North Africa in 1940-1941. "They were the one bright star in a sky almost everywhere dimmed by twilight." I am that conservative star in today’s war against creeping socialism and moral decline. Any fellow conservative also twinkles amidst the nightfall of American liberty and self-reliance. We shine unnoticed by the media facilitating President Obama agendas. We shine in spite of the dismal conditions surrounding us. We, of course, represent true hope and change. The night sky with the north star will always prevail; we will eventually prevail with the moral imperative of conservatism.
