I
want to follow the person who is not just keeping up with the mediocrity of the
competition but who moves beyond that level of competition to conquer.
There
is a sentiment out there that the GOP needs to improve so to compete with the
Democrat Party. But that position in itself puts the Democrats in the position
of strength, and the GOP in the familiar position of weakness.
If
you have the opportunity to work for a company that is competitive in its field
but a sheep among a flock, would you choose them over working for a cutting
edge enterprise that is leading, chiseling a path that others must follow?
I’m
a Millennial and I say if the Republican Party leaders would live outside the
Democrat mold, my generation would be extra interested in following them.
Republican
Party, forget trying to be competitive with
the Democrat Party. Go back to your founding principles, state, believe and
live the truths simply, in humility and with integrity. Then use your God given
faculties to come up with new ways to make our ideas win. Embracing these items
with sincerity and tenacious courage will be sufficient to start conquering and
dominating the playing field.
Democrats
utilized twitter and facebook [etc] in 2008 and were even farther technology advanced
in 2012. Sadly, it has felt like Republicans have been trying to play catch up.
Instead, consider: What questions are not being asked? What un-used technology tools
exist that can accomplish a goal, but have yet to be polished for the political
and government conversation? Or, better yet, what problems exist that we in our
God given, brilliant, entrepreneur, freedom loving, purpose driven, independent
spirit and ability can come up with a solution to on behalf of life and liberty?
Republicans
and conservatives, don’t just “get up to speed” with President Obama, the
progressive liberals and the Democrat party! Break out of the mold and come up
with something new. It’s time to change the tactics with new approaches,
solutions and honed skills so that the opposition says of us “Wait, we need to
catch up to them!”
It’s
time for freedom and truth to win.
