Taking This Country Back…Only the Begining

Today is January 1st, 2012.

The beginning of a new year is here. A new calendar has been hung and resolutions made.

At The National Patriot, we are ready. Ready NOT to make resolutions but to remain resolute.

No longer can we say, “2012 is coming” because it is here. Now, we look toward November, which indeed is coming but we also know there is much to be done between now and that important month and an election which will begin to reverse the advances in socialism and the misguided ideology of liberals.

The White House is one thing – but, in your individual states, there are races which MUST be closely watched and supported.

It is not enough to just retake the White House, conservatives must also hold the House and regain the Senate.

In states, it becomes even more important to elect as many conservative members of legislatures as possible.

While liberals continue to attempt a socialist revolution, we, as conservatives, must make it OUR priority to reestablish a revolution of common sense, fiscal responsibility and limited government. We must elect those who will steadfastly stand WITH our friends and AGAINST our enemies.

It is not enough to simply retool our domestic and fiscal policies. We must also reenact our rightful place on the world stage. Other nations look to us, the United States of America for leadership, for guidance and for the advancement of freedom and liberty.

If not us, then who will provide such leadership? If no one, than what of freedom and liberty around the world? We are not the police of the nations of this earth, we are the light which guides them. Currently, we are guiding nations and people who seek freedom and liberty down the wrong path. There are those who would advocate extinguishing the guiding light all together.

Both are wrong.

Neither hold dear the intentions of the founders in high regard no matter the words they speak or the indignation they show toward those who would not blindly follow them.  Our founders and our greatest presidents have all known the rightful place of OUR nation and their optimism and trust in the PEOPLE has always proven true and effective.

ONLY when we lead the world are WE at our best and only when we are at our best are WE the most successful.

At The National Patriot, we will remain on top of the day’s news, the workings of the liberal/socialist ideology and the ramping up to the 2012 election.

As we have done in the past, with a mixture of hard hitting commentary and through the use of humor, we will keep the pressure ON those who would take this country down via socialism and we will continue to highlight those conservatives who are as determined as we are to run the liberal/socialists out of power.

We will do the best WE can to provide information and commentary to keep YOU as up to date as possible.

We expect, as we continue to grow, that liberals will not go quietly away. The reach and scope of conservatives is, we know, much bigger than any one website. As our compatriots continue THEIR quest, so too will we and together, we WILL see a resurgence of patriotism, principles and conservatism.

The National Patriot welcomes each and every Patriot to a new year.

This year, we will, as individuals, make THE difference by uniting as ONE in a revolution of spirit.

We are NOT talking about the revolution undertaken by those who seek to create and sustain class warfare or the revolution controlled by those who would bolster an entitlement society. We are not speaking of the sort of revolution behind the process of turning our nation’s back on our allies or the sort of revolution bent on isolationism, equality at the bottom or the advancement of the ideologies of our enemies.

We ARE talking about a revolution in the spirit of the founders. The kind of revolution which gave birth to this nation. A revolution of leadership by example and of placing the power of government into the hands of the people and the states as our founders intended. We are talking about making our light of leadership shine more brightly around the world than it ever has before.

Success should not be measured by the outcome of the 2012 election.

To many, success is measured by the outcome of an event. To many, history is the ultimate decider of success or failure.

If we are to achieve success, as conservatives, we MUST find a different way by which to measure.

We must NOT allow HISTORY to decide for in using history as our measure, we are always looking back.

Our founders did NOT look back, they looked forward and they knew the only way by which to measure the success of the greatest experiment ever undertaken was to use the FUTURE as the decider.

Our founders put THEIR trust in those who would come AFTER them. They put their trust in the PEOPLE.

As conservatives, we have spent a great deal of time looking for the next Ronald Reagan.

Reagan talked about the shining city on the hill but to what do you believe he was referring?

I am a proponent of stepping back far enough to see the big picture and if I apply that tactic to Reagan’s vision, I might see something different that those who take his words at face value.

Was that city to which Reagan referred, our NATION? Was the hill, to Reagan, the world? Maybe, but I have a different take on it.

Step back with me and let’s see if you see what I see.

A shining city. What is a city if not for the people? Nothing but what we HAVE made. But the PEOPLE, to me represent what CAN be made in the future.

History should not be our yardstick rather, it should be the future by which we measure our success.

Would Reagan be flattered that we are looking for the next Reagan? Perhaps but, listen to his speeches, hear his words and you might see something quite different.

Ronald, as did the founders, wanted to leave a better nation behind him than the one in which he lived and while we found strength and resolve in his words and actions the most important thing which can be found there, is inspiration.

Inspiration cannot effect history.

Inspiration can affect the future.

I believe it was the future which was most important to Reagan just as it was to the founders.

Should we be looking for the next Ronald Reagan or should we be looking for the next one who would be better than Ronald Reagan?

I submit the latter and I would also suspect that should we pursue the latter, nothing would please Reagan more. If we are to look for the best of what we once had, how can we ever become better than what we once were?

The 2012 election is not the end of the mission but the beginning of the future and from that point on, our success will be measured by what we do next rather than by what we have already done.

Taking our country back is only a small part of what we must do. We must take our country back to the vision our founders had for our future and we must continue that quest from this day forward.

The National Patriot welcomes you to 2012 and asks you to realize that November 6th is not the final day of our mission but the beginning of our nation’s future.

  1. Craig; I like what you’ve said, but I’ve always stated that as long as we seek, find, and use men who’ve become established in business/money making or lawyers connected to money and speaking abilities, to represent us, they will always be drawn to more money, power and status. Though it may seem unreal and impossible, one must think about it for a while. As long as we coddle to money men on either side of the track we shall always be kicking that perverbial can down the road. Within the bible is a short line that simply states; “No one listens to a poor man.”
    How true those words are. Until we can put people on ballots not of money or connections to money, but of principle and knowing the difference between right and wrong, without having to read from a law book, we will always continue down the same path were on now.
    America is know for it’s equality in all things. Yet, even Jesus said, “There shall always be the poor upon the world.” How true that is. Only when the poor have no one to represent them in any fashion or form of truth connected to them, shall the poor always arise and create kaos. But truth be said not all poor are ignorant or selfish, or lazy or any thing connected to monetarial status as constructed through class warfare, which is being ramped up by the evilness that has no barriers between rich and poor except Greed.
    So, think about it. You know a man or woman in your neighborhood or town or state that is not rich, but honest, principled and knows the difference between right and wrong? Then why not find a way to get him or her on that ballot without money or evil campaign rethoric like what got Herman Cain out of the race. Then maybe, just maybe America will have a chance to survive what’s coming. Just something to think about.
    God bless.
