Communication is the answer A good friend wrote me today totally confused, and here was his question; I am a Conservative, and I find myself dreading the content of each news broadcast and speech I hear, that reminds me of how badly we lost. How will I survive this new era of America?

My good friend, you above all should know that we are the product of a very diverse system here in the United States, we have always had diversity in our government and our lives. For someone on the outside looking in, it must look like the Russian professor was right, when he predicted that America was headed for a total breakup of our society. Actually nothing could be further from the truth, yes we are politically divided at this point, but we will come together and once again be just Americans one an all. The diversity we have only makes us stronger, as it is like a debate where each side builds credibility and eventually a compromise is reached. Our goal as conservatives in this era should be just to be heard. By speaking without the hatred that was the center piece of the opposition in the last administration, we can make our voices heard. With a commonsense approach to issues as they come up before the Congress, we can get our point across by going directly to the people of America. I still believe the majority of our citizens are basically commonsense people who will respond to commonsense in ideas and in actions.

We have learned in the last four years that Congress responds to polls, and we allowed the liberal media to have a field day by giving them so many opportunities to stick another knife in the back of conservatism. President Bush was good at keeping us safe from further attacks by terrorists, but failed badly in the area of communication. He was ineffective in his efforts to go straight to the people in a convincing manner. The last commander in Chief we had who was an accomplished communicator was Reagan, he could sit down and discuss real problems with the people, and generally they would come away understanding the issue. President Obama is a good communicator, but unlike Reagan he seems to be able to only say what the audience wants to hear, I have yet to hear him present a case where he states that we are going to suffer as a result of his action, it has been only the same old rhetoric of a tax break for the middle class and the poor. We have to be the alter ego in today’s government and without the malice that was present in the last four years, be in a position to make our voices heard by the people.

After 8 whole years of the trash talk that we have experienced, it would be refreshing to hear commonsense alternative views, stated in a way that the people of America can decide on the value of the content and not be swayed by the manufactured emotion of the media. I believe the people will respond to less rhetoric and more straight talk from our side. When the administration is correct give them credit, when it’s wrong give them hell, but do it with class and tact.

And that’s my opinion,
Don
