Hope is substance
By Mark West
"We are the showcase of the future. And it is within our power to mold that future this year and for decades to come. It can be as grand and as great as we make it. No crisis is beyond the capacity of our people to solve; no challenge too great." — President Ronald Reagan (1974)
We fail to exist if we have no hope! We roam through our lives as mindless zombies with our only inclination being to feast upon the weaknesses of fellow man. Conservatives get it...liberals do not!
I know, I know, its the liberals that are campaigning vigorously on hope. Just because they are campaigning on it does not mean that they understand it. Liberals have campaigned on big government programs for years and yet are clueless as to how to fix the programs already in existence as it is.
Did you watch the Democrat Party debate between Billary and Bama earlier this week? Did you happen to catch the implied theme of the debate? It was there, hiding scurrilously in the shadows of their comments. Lingering deceptively under the waves made by their verses of change and hope was the theme for their debate. Did you hear it? You need them because you are not good enough.
Liberals do not believe you are good enough to fix your own problems. Liberals believe that as the self-appointed elite in our society, they are the "chosen ones" who are able to fix every problem in your life. Liberals believe that you need them, that your life would be miserable and drab if they were not around to feel and heal your pain.
Unfortunately, they have no clue what real hope is. Hope doesn't need to make you need it. Hope doesn't need to beat you down to build you up. Hope doesn't need negatives to make a positive. Hope needs only the opportunity to speak.
Hope is substance. Hope is believing that you can do it, not that you need someone to do it for you. Hope is acting on what you believe, knowing that you can not count on someone else to make it happen in your life. Hope is realizing what our founding fathers meant when they said that we are both created and endowed by God with equality (a concept liberals despise) in our rights and personhood.
Hope motivates and drives us to actualize our abilities. Hope doesn't need help it needs opportunity. Channeling Rob Schneider from The Waterboy, "You can do it!" I agree, you can do it. You don't need the help of any politician from Washington D.C., all that you need is the opportunity. Stop and look at your circumstances. How do you respond to them? Do you blame them or learn from them?
You are the substance of hope when you realize your potential and actualize your abilities through the opportunities you have on your own. Liberals are cringing right now because they have been exposed. They don't offer you hope, they offer you bondage disguised as hope. I'll get into that next time.
