If you are on this website, you are not a fan of the massive growth of government that has occurred over the past 100 plus days, no several years. It is so easy to be caught up in the negative. Words like socialist, tyranny and even fascism has crossed our lips entirely too often. This blog is purely positive. Over the past few weeks, I have become friends with some of the greatest patriots this nation has known. None of these people are heroes or road scholars. They are just good old fashioned Americans, who love their freedom and their country. We are the silent majority.

Groups similar to ours are forming all over the nation. Some are organized and others are a few friends sharing a meal. We cannot forget that a nation is defined by it’s people. No government official made us who we are and no government official will change who we are. Despite all the negativity that surrounds us, we have a chance to impact the course of history. We have all heard of the butterfly effect. This my gentle flap of the wings.
No matter what happens in Washington or Baton Rouge, we have inalienable rights; rights that are not handed down to us by our government, but rights that our endowed to us by our creator. The passion and love we have for our country is a powerful thing. Do not let anger and fear destroy it. We protect the constitution just as it protects us. This is the most flowery of most posts, but I know you feel it too. The strength of our nation resides in the soul of each and every one of us, but it our decision as to whether or not we draw from that strength.

But no one listens to me...

Re: Purely positive…

Yes we do listen. You are a good voice for us all. Future generations will remember these days. How we are remembered is up to us.

Re: Purely positive…

Why do you feel that no one listens to you? You are very bright, and emit a positive, intelligent energy that serves as a beacon of light in a very dark time in our history.

I don't see anything wrong with expressing "anger"...it is a powerful catalyst for action!

The "fear" that is expressed I feel is genuine, because this nation is very apathetic, and if enough people are not stirred to action by their anger, then I personally "fear" for our future.

Keep up the good dialogue, Jennifer, and thank you for being the lovely person that you are, and for dedicating your passion and time to the BRTP!
