Resolution #1 I
resolve that I will not believe anything our President has to say. Fool me once
shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. “How to you know when the
President is lying?” Answer: “When his lips are moving.” Winston Churchill
called it terminological inexactitude (lying).
Resolution #2 I
resolve to constantly use the term “Obamacare” rather than the “Affordable Care
Act” because it annoys the President and the President doesn’t care about
America and this act is not affordable.
Resolution #3 I
resolve not to believe one word of blather (talk
long-windedly without making very much sense) spewing from anyone who supported
Obamacare (mostly Democrats). Fair warning: Democrat candidates will be
in a “messaging mode” for the next nine months (it’s called damaged control and
revisionist history). Study their records, not their rhetoric, and we
will again return a Republican majority in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate.
Resolution #4 I
resolve to fight back all efforts by the mainstream media in 2014 and beyond to
“anoint” another President of the United States. Hillary “what
difference does it make” Clinton (and Barrack Obama) make Jimmy Carter look
like a genius. Hillary “I’m not going to stand by my man and stay home and
bake cookies” Clinton has absolutely no record to stand on. None.
Saying she has “been a N.T. Yankee fan all of my life” while running for
the Senate in New York (she’s from Chicago) was a lie. She cannot help
herself. Liar, liar, pants suit on fire.
Resolution #5 I
resolve to support the agenda of a large and growing herd (get it, elephants)
of well-qualified and articulate Republican candidates for national and
statewide offices, such as Trey Gowdy (R-SC), who said on November 13, 2013 “I’d
like to believe that the leader of the free world would not say something he
knows not to be true just to win a reelection…but I am not naïve enough to
believe that.”
Resolution
#6 I resolve to encourage everyone to eat better (more
fruits and veggies), to get more exercise, to be kind to everyone you know and
meet, and show respect for others…even those who do not share your political
beliefs of less government, personal responsibility, protecting the freedoms
granted to us under the U.S. Constitution, respect for life, and a strong
national defense. We can disagree and not be “enemies.” Respect others &
spread more kindness, especially to our military, military veterans, and others
in areas of public safety & service.
Resolution #7 I
resolve to spread the word about the good work being done by The John Jay
Institute for Faith, Society and Law at www.johnjayinstitute.org The John
Jay Institute’s mission is to prepare principled leaders for faith-informed
public service. The John Jay Institute provides exceptional emerging leaders
with the intellectual, spiritual and professional training for transformational
cultural leadership.
Resolution #8 I
resolve to support those seeking elected office that see it as a public service
rather than a career.
EPILOGUE (closing thoughts)
Pure genius. “We don’t have a
spending problem; we have a budget deficit problem we have to address.”
(Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, February 2013. Think about it…if we
spend more than we take in we have a budget deficit problem. Democrat’s
solution: raise taxes. Republican solution: spend less. Where do you
stand?
Perhaps Thomas Jefferson said it
best: “When people fear government you have tyranny; when government fears the
people, we have liberty.”
Many theories of causality of the
Fall of the Roman Empire have been explored and most concern the disintegration
of political, economic, military, and other social institutions, in tandem with
barbarian invasions and usurpers (of power) from within the empire.
There is a lesson to be learned here.
What more can I say, except…I hope
you have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year in 2014. Wake up America and
do you part in 2014. We can only control the future, not the past. And
don’t let our political adversaries rewrite the past. (see Resolution #3)
