The message below is from a "ablur" a Conservative blogging buddy of mine and a friend to IoF. We felt the mesage was important enough that conservatives needed to hear it. So we have posted it below:******************************

Dear Fellow Conservative:
As an American Conservative, I have some sad news to tell you today. I also have some good news that I will share with you.
You have probably noticed that your only choice for president, in this election, is a liberal. I know, some will try to claim some modest level of conservatism but a careful look under the cloak of half truths you will find a liberal standing before you. Recognizing this fact and preparing for the inevitable, barring some miracle, will only help us to rise to the challenge. Now is not the time to turn away or blindly thrust your head in the sand. There is work to be done.
Our congress is another disaster. It cannot accomplish a single task and has stalled our nation. This may too fall to the liberals who are so eager for power. They will quickly remind you of their superior intellect and their determination to save the world through the failed philosophy of socialism. They may strive to make some dramatic changes to our great nation and if we sit back and do nothing, they will succeed.
The good news is that there is a chink in the armor of liberalism. Liberalism demands power and dominance and our constitution puts us in charge. Oh, they will try and put you at ease and say they got it all under control. They may even try to silence the critiques of their grand schemes, but as long as we stick together they will remain impotent.
Keeping power is more important to the liberal then their ideals. They will sacrifice any and all who stand in the way of power. They must come back to "we the people" to retain that brass ring. If we turn our backs and walk away from the right to vote that so many have died for, we have let them win.
Now is our finest hour. We the Moral Conservative Majority have the ultimate trump card in our hand. We have the capacity to dethrone them and there is nothing they can do to keep us from it. We have the election process and the impeachment process at our disposal. All we need to do is stay organized and informed.
We have the ability to feed and support each other knowing that, no one of us has all the answers. The liberals in their superior then thou throne rooms have only themselves. It has been measured that conservatives make up more than three-fourths of our great nation. We come in every political bent; Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, Constitutional, Green, and so many more.
Set aside your political affiliation and take a moment to focus on your core conservative beliefs. We are the people of the United States of America and we can set the agenda. Let us start by unifying in conservative locations, both in body and on the Internet. Each of us has unique talents and knowledge that can help all of us keep our government in check. If each of us does three things we can make a difference and save this nation. All three of these things are in everyone's reach no matter your race religion or financial standing.
1. Stay informed of what is going on around you.
2. Share and interpret this information with everyone and anyone you can.
3. Write letters and hold your representatives feet to the fire, from the neighborhood watch to the President of the United States.
The first one should be a breeze; you live and work where you are. You know those around you and what goes on where you live. You don't need to stretch much to make a difference.
The second one will require you to actually act on what you believe and know. No matter your specialty, interpret and report to fellow conservatives what you see and hear. The liberal media isn't going to help us stay informed. We will have to blog and spend time on forums to pass information along. We will have to spend a few minutes each day getting the word out and taking in what is going on elsewhere that may affect us. Use the knowledge and skill of fellow conservatives to keep you informed.
The third one will be our shining star, reminding the pandering power mongers who is really in charge. They won't make a move against a unified body of conservatives bent on taking away the only thing that really matters to them, power. They will follow lock step as a bull firmly grasped by the ring in his nose, if we stay engaged.
I would like to take this moment to recommend a place to share and build conservative unity, the American Conservative Forum. This is not just a fun hang out, but a place for serious conservatives who want to take America back and hold our leaders accountable. A place for people who are willing to do their part and use their God given talents and skills to keep our government in check, by informing the rest of us so we can act in mass.
Many of us have become disenfranchised from our government and we have cast our one vote away. It is no longer about one vote. It is about all of us, as one, casting a vote for conservative principals totaling epic proportions of conservative presence in American Politics. We have failed to unify for almost one hundred years and we have been given the government we deserve.
Are YOU ready to take it back?
Take your first step. Post, print or email this message to everyone you know. Join the American Conservative Forum and let's start restoring America.
Sincerely,
ablur

I take issue with only a few things:
ReplyDeleteJohn McCain has a Conservative voting record of over 80%. He is a Caonservative. Although I agree he's crossed lines before,considering his taking up of the Bush Doctrine as his own,and calling for a war with Iran and intents on staying the course in Iraq,he is hardly liberal.
Secondly,Congress has already "fellen" to Liberals. The Democrats controll Congress at this very moment,and have had control since January of 2007. They are most likely to retain control as well,whether for good or ill.
Thirdly,as has been shown time and again,keeping power is in the best interest of BOTH our major parties. To make a case that Repu8blican politicians do not crave power and chase after it madly,is to deny the truth.
We have a decision to make this November,each of us. We can eitehr go along as we have for the last 8 years(which the majority of America does NOT want to do) or we can vote someone else in and give them a go.
I'm voting for a different perspective. The country is not going to end. America will not fall under Democratic leadership,anymore than it has under Republican leadership. They exist to keep each otehr in check.
Now don't we wish for the balmy years of Bill Clinton's presidency? When the most we had to worry about was which Whitehouse intern was lifting her skirts for him? Due to the absolute rediculousness of backlash over oral sex,our country has deteriorated in teh past two election cycles. We are going broke. We are borrowing massive amounts of monies from communist China just to stay afloat. Teh common working man and the middle class ave suffered more under this fiscally deficient presidency than anyone else.
They are NOT going to make you rich folks. And you are NOT rich right now.
Simply put: All of us are in the same boat. We are all suffering,whether it be one of our sons or daughters bleeding to death in the sand for nothing,or fuel prices that have more than doubled, or government intrusion into American's private lives.
Will this change under a Democratic presidency? I don't know. But I'm willing to take that chance,and would hope that others would be open minded enough to truly look back over the past 8 years of mismanagment and goernment expansion and ask themselves:
Is this what being a Conservative is really about?
