Hold on there..By JGillman, Section News
Pay attention to what is going on in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan.
Our legislators, our governor, our management team running the state needs support. They need encouragement, they need your civil words ringing in their heads with every stroke of a pen, every yea or nay, with every debated word. Disagree? Good. Let them know why you disagree, explain the logic in clear unmistakable language that soothes the chaotic premises some of our lawmakers seem to take with them in their operations of daily affairs in Lansing and DC as well. Remind them why they were elected, and how they campaigned, and how votes or acts that seem contradictory will put them opposite the ideas used to get them where they are. Please don't call them names. At least not OUR guys. Save that for the dirtbag Dems. Save it for the bizzarro world rejects that stupid people vote for. Save the poison for those who bleed poison. ~ more below ~
I had a near miss up here. I was branded an extremist (by some local Republicans) before winning the primary against a Republican opponent who didn't always vote in a way that seemed ..'republican.' After entering the race, I discovered a few things more about him. One was that he is/was a tea party supporter. Even while doing what I disagreed with, he was finding a place of comfort with those who were challenging the hard left shift.
Perhaps he could have learned. Probably not while in office, but he was listening. There is a time to go hard core animus on people. Even the Republican people. But carefully choose those times so that when it happens it has real meaning. Even when I dish out the 'meatpuppet' comments about our perpetually insipid, and utterly extreme failure, US senator Dummy Stabenow, I wonder if I am going a bit far. At what point do people just say "meh, seen that line before.."? Call our guys up, and call them out if you must, but have your facts ready. Demonstrate to them you mean business by pummeling them with reality. They'll likely be thankful. Give them a base, a chair if you will to sit on, instead of offering them nothing, and watching them fall. My own rhetoric causes some who are absolutely conservative but are willing to concede ground to the left because emotions drive them there, to be cautious. When I can talk to them and explain my positions clearly, its what they have been looking for. Logic, reasoned arguments, and a lack of open hostility to one or two perceived disagreements can cement a solid conservative response and action set. Continue to be provocative, but focus on your targets with an understanding of what you want your results to be. Firm, without anger, or any detectable disdain. There is going to be a lot of chaos very soon, and we need to be in more of a state of solidarity. I do not believe the inadequate form of liberalism that promotes inconsistent action will firm up very well under a great deal of pressure from our new reality of higher energy costs, lower employment numbers, and failed governments. I DO believe we have an opportunity as educators of conservatism to sharpen our teaching skills, and draw in the stragglers. Michigan's newly elected Senate And House needs reasoned debate, information, and support from us. Even our governor likely wants to do what is right, and frankly I would bet he signs nearly ANYTHING the current legislature puts on his plate. Engage them on the issues, with the explanations,the truth. And sooner than later.
