"Whatever else history may say about me when I'm gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty's lamp guiding your steps and opportunity's arm steadying your way."
President Ronald Wilson Reagan, 1911-2004

2010

     I'm looking forward to 2010. In all honesty, I think it will be a great year for America. We should be in the midst of a mild depression, President Obama will probably have nationalized health care, China will be the only super power on the planet, and Hilary and Newt will probably be talking up running against Obama in two years.
     You're probably asking why 2010 would be a year to look forward to, in light of all that. Only one thing could give me such hope. Conservative America.
     In America, there are Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Communists, and Independants. There are Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians, Anglos, Euros, and Africans, Americans all. But there are only three types of people in America that matter in 2010. Liberals, Moderates, and Conservatives.
     It is the Conservatives that give me hope for 2010, for in light of all that President Obama has said, and all that he has done regardless of, or in spite of, what he has said, Conservatism seems to be finding its voice, singular and stentorian. A united voice, not so much against anything specific, but for a set of ideals that are diametrically opposed to the President's current paradigm. Conservatism has found the will to express itself. No longer are we the Silent Majority.
     In the end, as 2010 ushers in a new Conservative Congress, as I think it will, the epitaph for President Obama's administration may already be written. In my opinion, President Obama, the messiah of change, will go down in history as the man soley responsible for the resurrection of American Conservatism.
