I’ve been thinking about the 4/15 Tea Party I will be attending in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.  I am really excited about this!  But then my cynical side got to thinkin’. 

What if this turns out just like the illegal immigration issue?  Everyone gets all worked up, but then after a few months, the anger dies down and everything goes back to normal.  Unresolved rage and frustration. 

Or the energy issue.  Many, many people in this country want to explore anything and everything to get us off foreign oil.  But gas prices dropped back down, and after a few months, the anger dies down and everything goes back to normal.  Unresolved rage and frustration.

Conservatives in this country seem to not have the persistence or the stomach to make real change in this country.  Or maybe we just don’t know how.  Liberals are not like that.  They are patient.  They keep shouting about an issue until they get their way, even if it takes years and years.  Liberals have amassed so much cultural change in this country, it astonishes me.  (It helps that they have most of the media and entertainment on their side, of course.)

But I just wonder...why the difference.  Is it because conservatives are, by nature, more pragmatic, and we tend to just get back to work?  Do we roll over and just figure we can’t do anything to change America when the odds are so stacked against us? 

I don’t know what it is, but I am really tired of seeing a majority of Americas feel a certain way, but America itself actually goes the other way.  What happened to “by the people and for the people”?  It’s disturbing.
