If you’re a conservative. If you’re someone with common sense and decency. If you’re someone who loves this country, a patriot, the average American citizen. Certainly, if you’re a Christian. If you are any, all or a combination of these, then it seems the world has gone crazy, so quickly in just the last few years. You’re as shocked as I am. It’s as though our functioning society is locked in a bus headed over a cliff, and those driving the bus are pressing the accelerator as hard as they can as we scream “brake!”. We’re locked in our seats! Help! How do we escape injury or death in the inevitable crash? Will we be one of the survivors, if any, that will have to put our society back together again? Will we even be able to? Maybe, maybe not, but here’s a few tips to stay sane until help arrives.
Patience. I remember the Carter years. Today’s teens will look back in forty years and laugh at the mumbling, bumbling, woke Brandon years as I do the Carter years. As the saying goes, there is nothing as constant as change. I can remember gas stations having “gas wars” back in Texas. Gas stations, kiddy-corner from each other, would try to outcompete the other for the lowest priced gas. In some extreme instances, my dad could get gas for $.19 or $.20 per gallon! Things started to change for the worse when Nixon left office and a fill-in unelected-RINO, Gerald Ford, temporarily took his place. Things really got bad when Jimmy “Peanut Farmer” Carter took over. Although a graduate of the Naval Academy (or may because of that), he had zero leadership skills. The country quickly suffered the consequences.
The country fought back and, voilà, Jimmy led to Ronnie. Ronald Reagan ushered in a new day, a bright new day. The collective spirit of the country was lifted. I could feel it. The Reagan Revolution led to the defeat of the Soviet Union, a booming economy, crime control instead of gun control and a feeling of hope.
If we stay patient, we’ll come to realize that life is cyclical. That light at the end of the tunnel really is the sun, not a train speeding toward us. Good times follow bad times follow good times. Be patient. Bide your time. Things will improve.
“Through patience a ruler may be persuaded, And a gentle tongue breaks bone.” Proverbs 25:15
Humor. Sometimes you just have to laugh. It really can be the best medicine. I know it can be hard to do with so many seriously bad things going on all around. Let the joke be on them. Those foolish people in charge of everything deserve to be laughed at. Take Kamala Harris, please. (apologies to Henny Youngman) Seriously, she is a joke. Yes, she’s a heartbeat away from the presidency and that is serious and scary, but she is not a serious person. She has no gravitas. She has no knowledge. She has no leadership skills. Unfortunately, for so many hard-working minority Americans, she gives the stench to affirmative action. Even though she was thoroughly rejected by the Democrat electorate, Joe told us exactly why he was picking her. Cackle when she cackles. It will relieve some of your stress and make you feel better. In homage to the aforementioned Mr. Youngman, “When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.”
Then there is Senator Cory Booker (D) NJ, another laughable character that should brighten your face with a smile. There are many such clownish Senators to choose from, Hirono, Whitehouse and Durbin come to mind. If you watched Booker’s humiliatingly comedic performance this week at the Senate confirmation hearings for Kentanji Jackson, like me, you’d still be laughing at him. He is supposed to be there to ask serious questions of a potential lifetime appointee to the highest court in the land. Instead, he spent all of his time slobbering all over Jackson like a 16-year-old teenage boy over a candy apple red Corvette. It was truly embarrassing, but he wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. If you want a true belly laugh to get you through the day, you have to watch this clip from Tucker Carlson’s show.
Keep in mind that Booker is one of one hundred Senators from a co-equal branch of government to her judiciary branch, yet there he is, literally groveling on his hands and knees like a little thirsty baby for his bottle. It was indeed a sickening show but at the same time, hilariously funny. He is so deserving of your laughter. And you deserve a good laugh these days. Tucker calls him the Jussie Smollett of Democrat politics. How right he is. Remember, all this is because the left tells us that Ketanji Jackson is a renown legal scholar deserving of a seat on SCOTUS, even though she can’t actually say what a “woman” is. Laugh. Sometimes you have to, to keep from crying.
“Behold, God will not reject a person of integrity, Nor will He help evildoers. He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, And your lips with joyful shouting. Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the tent of the wicked will no longer exist.” Job 8:20-22
Pray. There is always hope. Praying is a sign that you still have hope and that you have faith that there is a Being greater than any of us and all of this. Don’t worry, pray. Jesus said,
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:34
Worrying gets you nowhere, fast. Worrying focuses your attention on the problem rather than the solution. Praying for a solution is much more productive. Regardless, keep the faith.
Remember, politics isn’t everything. Don’t get me wrong, politics is important (I admit I’m a junkie) and can affect how we live our lives. It can affect how much we pay for gas and, as we’ve seen in the pandemic, even how we are allowed to worship and practice our faith. Don’t be depressed. Don’t worry. Be patient. Don’t take yourself too seriously and especially don’t take them that seriously. Pray and look forward to a better future. I know it is easier said than done but doing so will help you and all of us get through these years and maintain our sanity in an insane Brandon world.
