STAND PROUD AMERICA!!

It is Saturday, January 9th. The past few days I have been sifting through all of the news. We have been inundated with the Underwear Bomber, Healthcare, Tiger Woods, Fort Hood, Taxes..... I could go on but you get the point. Oh, and of course Global Warming, when we are experiencing one of the coldest winters in years. I could easily go off on a Global Warming rant or any of the above topics, but I won't. Indeed it has been a trying year, especially if you are a true conservative. The truth is I am tired of all of the negativity. There have been mistakes and lies and honest missteps but we as a country will triumph.


Throughout our history we have overcome many obstacles, first of course taking the steps to free ourselves from our oppressor, England. It wasn't easy, but it was a war that had to be fought. We lost thousands of great people. Their sacrifice made us a FREE country and made it possible for our Founding Fathers to establish the Constitution. The Greatest document ever written, period! We have done more in our 200 plus years than any other country history. Yes, we have stumbled from time to time but we ALWAYS come back stronger and more POWERFUL than ever. We are the GREATEST country in the history of the world. We have established that fact many times over. Throughout our history we have built the strongest economy in the world. Again, you get my point.

I want each of you to embrace our greatness and look forward to an incredible 2010. Do NOT let the media, your friends, your boss, your family.... tell you that you can't! By that I mean establish goals and go after them, regardless of the economy or politics. We need to move forward and take this economy back, WE THE PEOPLE make this country and its economy work. NOT the Government. Go out and start a new business, make bold investments and have faith in GOD and our country that you will be successful. Yes, I did bring GOD into this (not uncommon for a conservative), as our country was established on the fact that we are endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights. LIFE LIBERTY and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS. Now that IS the pursuit of happiness not a guarantee of happiness. Individuals will fail but as a country we will always prevail. We MUST have faith that we will!

This isn't just about you or me as individuals; this is about our country and the history of our success and our future successes. We have overcome the Civil War along with slavery, the Great Depression, and World Wars. Civil Rights were established for women and other minorities. We won the Cold War without firing a SHOT. How great is that, thanks, Mr. Reagan! We came out of the recession of the 70s to the prosperity of the 80s and 90s. Not to be redundant but thanks Mr. Reagan! :) We are now facing some troubled times with terrorists trying to take our lives and our freedoms. We have a struggling economy that will rebound if the government would get out of the way. We will come out of this; it could take time, but we will be victorious.

So I urge you to make bold goals and walk in faith this New Year. We will overcome; it is our history and our future. We are the Greatest country in the world! Don't shy away from that, be PROUD of that. That is who we are!

GOD BLESS AMERICA
