Who Do I Shoot?

In the movie “The Grapes of Wrath” the farmer losing his everything to the bank asks, “Who do I shoot?” The sheriff is just following his orders. The bank is just following the law. Who do you hold accountable when forces beyond your reach crush you? When it happens, you’ll focus on survival. Afterwards, rectification is merited and justice should be served.

How many outrages test the patience of Americans today? How many challenges could become calamities of the worst imaginable? How are they all beyond the reach of good Americans just trying to live life? And, what is anyone to do about it all?

So much of what is wrong is the wrong doing of government – at all levels, that politics appears as the easy answer. Except, it isn’t. Most Americans, even those who keep themselves informed, only do one thing politically. They only vote. That’s not good enough for the “democracy” the Left bleats about and is abysmal for the Republic for which America stands.

Roughly one in one thousand Americans are active in party politics. That’s the sausage factory work in the career field of governance. Yes, it’s a career field, for the most part, and it’s definitely a business. Yet, all rightful cynicism aside, politics is too important to be left to the politicians.

Just as elections are too important to be left in others’ hands.

Actually, it seems everything is “too important.” Everything is too much for one man or woman. Obviously.

But “something” or one thing, isn’t. I’m a retired “Papa” richly blessed with health and time without worries for subsistence – despite the devastation to my savings. Yet, I recall in through most of my working life until my kids got out of the house, I often had 10 to 15 minutes of personal time a day. Period. Not kidding. I worked hard, long hours for wages and at home I worked more for family.

But, much can be done with the little bit of personal time most working people have. First, a focus on daily Bible reading and deliberate prayer becomes an anchor for the soul and an open door to wisdom.

If an American has an hour or two most evenings, there is much more than can be done. Cut entertainment time in half and do what you can do in one focus area.

Get connected through social media for the area of government excess and incompetence you want to fix. And, where you seek justice.

There are so many..

Weaponized justice system? Bank bailouts for political buddies? Persecution of J6 people? CRT and abject failure in public schools? Bias and viewpoint bullying in colleges and universities? Public health still forcing Covid as a “vaccine?” Election integrity? Cultural cleansing of all things Confederate and Christian? Illegal immigrant invasion and feeding at the public trough? Environmental Cult limiting energy production – which fuels inflation (pun intended) and demanding more damage be done to the economy tilting at their windmills (again, pun intended)? The poverty and race hustle business being paid off in tax dollars? Stopping the maiming and mutilation of children with “Trans” insanity more dangerous than hysteria about witchcraft? Building a national defense that will protect and prevail instead of creating a politically correct military? Limiting government at every level that seeks to tax, legislate, and regulate every aspect of your life? Keep your access to guns and ammunition to protect you and your family?

Get involved in one thing. No matter how busy your life is. Citizens must act on their citizenship. Assert your individual sovereignty as an American in one aspect of our Great Experiment. For one hour a night, six nights a week.

Be all you can be.

Consider how much you can do in one effort alone. Look at your local School Board. In Virginia, they are incredibly, lawfully powerful.

You can make a difference in recruiting candidates, getting them elected, helping them know what to do, and supporting them when the Human Secularist Totalitarians (Commies) come at them.

You can make a difference in two institutions – the “mountains” that shape American Culture and Civilization – by just being alive. You influence your family and religion by being present. Speaking the truth. Loving others with lovingkindness.

Pick one of the other five mountains and look locally how to attack it. Government – including the military? Business? Education? Media? Arts and Entertainment?

You don’t need to shoot anyone. Yet.
