Happy Independence Day.
It was a bit hot but not unbearable today at the corner of 3rd & Broward Blvd. A little lighter in turnout than the last time I thought, and somewhat less animated; although the signage was quite creative and in many cases very funny.
My major concern was the overall feeling I received from those I chatted with, was a sense of hopelessness and frustration and a sort of "hollering into the wind" kind of thing.
But possibly that was just my impression. I have been known to make an occasional error.
It appears to me that whatever was to be accomplished by these TEA PARTIES has been accomplished and now it is time to move into a clearly political phase.
The selection and support (which includes ALL of the elements of the term) of reliable, proven conservative candidates to oppose the self representing representatives in the house and senate of the State of Florida and the U.S.Houses of Congress is what is now mandated by common sense.
Actively supporting with turn out the vote campaigns, working the telephones, and all of the things needed by candidates, as well as small donations (large donations if you are so situated) to allow worthy challengers to the present substrate of the current Mis, Mal, and Non feaseant government seems to me to be a no brainer.
I do not advocate any particular party as the beneficiary of effort and largess, but rather the most conservative candidate who can mount a successful insurgent campaign. I admit I have a couple of faves I will work for and support.
If reliable conservatives are found, supported and elected, we have a shot at restoring part of the America sadly now gone; not unlike a person who has been the victim of a violent personal assault.
Never the same again, but able to recover, and able to survive.
OK. The old guy has had his say, and his old bones have been sufficiently warmed by todays Sun,and his innards cooled by some iced tea (made from the "Chai" TEA BAG presented by a lovely Brazilian lady today).
Tell me how we need to walk back and forth with cute signs and flags while cars drive by and honk & blare as they go to whatever pursuits they are off too, and how that changes the runaway train in Washington driven by a corrupt, ignorant, arrogant and incompetent thugocracy, led by an smug educated dunce, who could not pass the security checks to work as a clean up custodian in any Post Office in the nation.
Enjoy the rest of the day, and celebrate FREEDOM while we still can. ;D
I wish all of you well and...
God Bless the United States of America
