Just imagine being a new senior citizen of roughly 70 years old. Sound old? Ok – just for reference – Mick Jagger is 78, Phil Collins is 71, George W. Bush is 75… k? Got it?
70 isn’t THAT old…. like – one foot in the grave old. Now that 70 isn’t decrepit old is established…, still living in the tiny town, having ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS bragged and voted Democrat just might be. HOWEVER the Sheriff in town has “seen the light” and switched from his LIFE -LONG Democrat party affiliation to the now popular “Republican”… or RINO (Republican In Name Only) party!!! Now this 70 year old-ish DIE – HARD DEMOCRAT refuses to display this RINO “Republican” Sheriff’s sign in his front yard…. EVEN THOUGH his family has supported and STILL supports this Sheriff in BOO-COO numerous ways and to count. BUT – because Mr. SHERIFF- same guy, same beliefs, same policies, same EVERYTHING…. has now checked the “REPUBLICAN” box – JUST SO HE CAN WIN…. Mr. Sheriff’s sign won’t be in THAT yard.
I had a “friend” of 30+years who ditched me after the 2016 election (seriously- you can NOT make this up) because he THOUGHT I voted for Trump. THIRTY YEARS!!! Yes, if you’ve followed me you’ve read about this. I take my relationships seriously! In my family there is a sad, sad, sad trait of disowning just because you made them mad, or you disagreed… whatever. I have a sibling whose last word was “go f*k yourself” over me insisting boundaries. Another sibling cut off all contact after our mother became stable from a life-threatening stroke.
My point? I ask for and want zero sympathy!!! I bring up my recent past to point our that I cherish relationships! Every person in our lives have been put there by God for a specific reason – to learn!!! And what I have learned about Democrats is they will die for their cause EVEN IF they don’t believe in it. If you look at ole joe’s crime stand in the 80’s and 90’s as opposed to today – not EVEN the same… but he will NEVER EVER admit it. He would rather die than admit his stand is different.
What is wrong with admitting your wrong? No one knows all. Only God does. The best we can hope for is as close as possible. The word “perfect” should NEVER be in anyone’s vocabulary. It’s NEVER attainable – NEVER! So – let’s get real. I do NOT expect ole joe to be perfect – I DO expect ole joe to abide by the vows he took when he was inaugurated: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Perfection is not capable by human beings. We can only ever swear to live by a higher set of standards and to always strive to do our best. It means to ALWAYS strive for the ABSOLUTE BEST for whom we represent. ALWAYS! It means knowing the individuals who desire to represent. It means doing a little bit of homework – asking questions, following up, doing your due diligence. YOU are the Government. YOUR tax dollars pay the elected officials. THEY work for YOU! You HAVE to know them. Doesn’t YOUR employer know EVERYTHING about you?? That’s how it works.
They work for YOU – KNOW THEM! MAKE YOUR DOLLARS WORK FOR YOU!!! It’s not just a sign in your yard. It’s a human who will be taking YOUR tax dollars and what will YOU get from it? ASK THE QUESTION!

What this boils down to, I believe, Kelly, is that the American people will not react until it directly affects or impacts their lives. Once exposed to the viciousness that this administration has inflicted on their families, maybe, just maybe they will reconsider their alliance to the Democratic party. And BTW still waiting for all the apologies from various friends, and family, but it seems as if they have the mind set that somehow having common sense equals stupidity.
