I believe in the ideas I post & the ideas of those I follow, that I very often repost. If what I have written below aligns with your values & you believe that my posts would add positively to your timeline, then your follow, (& advocacy for others to follow) would be much appreciated. I have a passion for all things related to the: #𝓤𝓢𝓒𝓞𝓝𝓢𝓣𝓘𝓣𝓤𝓣𝓘𝓞𝓝 With its purpose being— to establish a means for the 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙡 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩, and not the opposite.

But I do consider myself a patriot & advocate for truth & profound thought, just as were many of our nation’s founders. They were intelligent, skilled, principled men, but they also possessed enough humility to seek council from their colleagues, which is something I intend to do here. One of my passions is advocating for rolling back federal overreach. To that point, I am a volunteer as a citizen activist & financial supporter of @COSProject whereby we the people, through our state legislatures, can use #ArticleV of our #constitution to return our government to something that resembles what the founders intended. I urge you to do the same. I am a conservative, both fiscally and socially, but I also understand that within reason, all ideas & opinions are a bi-product of one’s life experiences. Although we may not agree on an issue, I will never write a post or a reply to one of yours with the purpose of insulting your intelligence or questioning your right to that opinion. But that also means I will not be subjected to abuse from those who do not adhere to that same standard of respect. I will only respond to one rude post, but even then, I will not respond rudely. With the written word, it may be difficult to convey a respectful tone, so I will often add words to clarify a respectfully rebuttal to a position. I believe wholeheartedly in the “yes, and” approach. I strongly believe that, if your goal is to communicate, you need to be respectful to whomever you are communicating with, if you expect them to listen. If not. . . why even bother. I am a semi-retired 30 year civilian USAF aircraft maintenance engineer (mechanical and aerospace engineering degree). I also have a post graduate degree in Professional Military Education (Air Command &Staff College) with additional certifications and experience as a #lean six sigma black belt (Toyota problem solving) in many industries including construction, manufacturing and most recently (the last 5 years), in healthcare helping a hospital system improve processes. As you can guess from this, I am a boomer, although near the last of the class (born 1958). If you made it this far, thanks for reading and thanks if you decide to follow me.

Should you show up and vote? The answer is yes, but more so, our constitution is supposed to protect us, even if others vote and take actions to remove our rights. This is why we are a republic and not a democracy.

This is celebrated by some and identified as contrary to the survival of our republic by others — mostly those who support our constitution.

Community organizer was a made up title that should have evoked caution with respect to electing such a person to the highest office in the land, especially someone we knew so little about. Both sides of the political aisle have their problematic personalities, but the people’s means to vet them are their only defense. Answer these questions: 1. Which of the last 4 presidents did we know the most about, with regard to his political past? 2. And also, which was the most transparent regarding those policies and beliefs? 3. Which individual’s policies and beliefs have been the most positively misrepresented? 4. And finally, which individual’s beliefs and policies have been the most negatively misrepresented?

You can explain it to them, but you can’t understand it for them. People will generally choose to take the path of least resistance between where they are and where they want to be. The problem with that is, there is value and virtue in struggling to do anything. I love the quote regarding doing anything that is “hard”. “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the ‘hard’ that makes it great”. Another thing to consider is that when you work toward achieving a goal, any goal, you build physical and mental muscle. That muscle is like putting money in the bank that will pay you dividends from that day forward. That “cost” associated with “free stuff” you get from the government (really, other tax payer’s work— because the government has no money of their own), you have to calculate the ROI in consideration of the harm it also does. That harm is ignored out of convenience. It is simple physics analogous to mass, momentum and work. If every individual who can work, actually IS productive, with each producing a positive net gain, the bottom line is positive. If a significant percent are riding along and not contributing, the bottom line is in the red. Which is fitting, because the mantra of the 50’s regarding the “red scare” is truer today than it was then, but it is not only about communism. Our debts, both personal and public, can be retired over time, but we have start today and as individuals to get our own house in order.
