Why we fight

To explain the personal journey an individual takes from wide eyed liberal to level headed conservative, Winston Churchill once said “If you are not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you are not Conservative by 40, you have no brain.”

Experience proves this is true.

One of the benefits of age is the wisdom that comes along with the gray hair.

With a lifetime of experience the differences between liberal and conservative positions are easy to see and articulate. Having a growing family makes turning away from liberal ideas very easy because they don’t work. As the head of my family it is my duty to defend and protect them from all enemies as they become evident.

With his baptism Sunday, we welcomed our fifth grandchild a happy and, by the grace of God, healthy baby boy into our Christian community.

All of our grandchildren were with us and all of them joined us for a celebration afterward. As I looked at the three girls and two boys ranging from 17 to newborn my joy was tempered by the reality that among them, they already owe more than 1.2 million dollars as their share of the national debt.

None of them voted for any of the politicians who plunged them and us into this crushing debt. None of them has expressed support for giving illegal aliens healthcare or sending our tax money to Brazil so it can drill for oil where liberals forbid us to go.

Our grandchildren can’t vote, but they are our children’s children so it up to us to vote for them. Their parents feed and care for them, but we are the ones who must take to the streets to save their futures. More….

Those of us who are grandparents have to step up again to save our kids. It is not more complicated than that. We vote, we can save our kids futures. We don't vote, they have no shot.

As a lifetime conservative, I have always disagreed with that overused maxim. Some people are stupid in their youth, and learn to use reason and logic in analyzing political theory. Others were smart all along. Those who were smart all along didn’t lack empathy as youths, they understood that the best way to help people was through freedom.
