President Schock in 2016
My friend Emily has, I think, predicted the new face of the Republican party.
Aaron Schock is a young (27) farm boy from Illinois, and quite the accomplished individual.
For too long the talking faces of the Republican party —Limbaugh and Palin— have appealed to our baser selves: our fear, our hate, our ignorance. The Republicans in Washington are destroying their party by listening to idiots like Limbaugh, Hannity, and O'Reilly. Hopefully, in a few years, we will be able to dig the pearls that were good from the ashes of the Republican party. Schock could be one of those pearls.
Schock seems to symbolize the hard-working, independent, honest citizen that Americans want to vote for and that seasoned politicians try to imitate.
For now, the Republican party is out of touch. In trying to appeal to its base it has debased itself. They sacrificed their ideals in order to win.
But hope exists for conservatives.
And I hope Schock will not get bogged down in the same mistakes. I hope he'll read Ron Paul, who beautifully illustrates the ideals of conservativism in The Revolution, and stay away from the vulgar Limbaugh, and others who would do anything to win.

Ditto!
ReplyDeleteRepublicans sacrificed their values to win, and they lost big time. I've said for a while that I'm not a Republican, I'm a conservative, because those things have been pretty different. Here's to President Schock!
Oh, and I'm almost finished with The Revolution. Let's just say it has... affected me.
