A most excellent rant.

Back in the way back when I had a patch on my jeans that said, "If you're not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem."

When we sit here and get frustrated and start raling away at "They," I have discovered it's really time to do something myself. It may mean getting involved at the grass roots to throw the bums who are too RINOy out. It may mean encouraging people to get out and vote. It may mean doing one's homework.

But it should never mean dropping a 20 lb. bowling ball on my foot because I am throwing a temper tantrum in my frustration, or cutting my nose off to spite my face.

And it's always better to have a half filled cup than an empty one.

And Rome wasn't built in a day, and all those other platitudes which are old and trite and true.

So I will not pour fuel on the fire, but I will say one step at a time, and if we take enough steps in the right direction, we might just end up at our destination. But we won't if we circle around backwards. Or if we stop moving.

IMHO, of course.

I got a call tonight about the upcoming Michigan Republican primary. They wanted to know if I would be supporting Joe Schwartz ( big time RINO), and if I voted for him in the last election.

It must have been a Schwartz poll because they didn't want to here the full rant about my thoughts on him.

The time to sort them out is in the primaries, thats what I try to do.
