Growing up I was blessed to have a tight knit family with deep seeded Christian and American morals. My Grandfathers were strict, but fair disciplinarians, that taught us clear lessons and conservative philosophies, including God, family and country. My Grandpa John particularly, was known as, affectionately of course, Grandpa No.
No to spending money on wants not needs; No to bad spending/saving habits; No to bad health practices; No to handouts or free rides; No to lies, cheating, or stealing; No to disrespect for superiors; No for talking out of turn; No to bad manners; No to tyranny and attacks on America and Americans, or our freedoms; No to evil and the devil's temptation. No, No, No, No, No to thousands of bad things for us all. Our family, one and all, revere him as a hero then and today, buy any measure. Grandpa No.
So when some label conservatives or conservative republicans as the "party of No", maybe it is just simply because they are fighting against the things Grandpa John fought against his whole life. I'd be proud to be "the party of No", when God's moral compass, and fidelity to our founding principles and sacred constitution, are being ignored!
Good old Grandpa No, God Bless your soul; maybe you too had his friend(s) in your family-heroes just like him! Lets find more of his friends to stand up and add to the list of Heroes, we need them all right now today!! Maybe it can be you.
Talk with you again soon, 912 Patriot
