The posts of Sonoran Alliance are often used to put front and center a personal viewpoint on a partisan issue. Such is the art of the “blog”. While the need for an outlet of frustration and expression of personal interests can be understood, I am of the belief that such can also be used by people who twist the story and feel hiding behind a blind name gives them absolution to do and say whatever they please, in hopes more people will pile on and prove them right. Now their perversion of the truth has become reality. Mission accomplished!
In my years of following local, state, and national politics, I’ve come to know such behavior is a sure sign of weakness and fear from those who understand theirs is a house built on sand. Those who go negative and stay there never win in the long run. They may win a race here and there, a local chairmanship or some other position. They never will be in control or rise to real leadership, for they have no substance only their passion for disruption.
People tire of anger; they tire of always keeping score and running up the points for the other team so to be sure of their position of victim. They tire of the arrogance of those local leaders who would keep them submissive so as to have at their beck and call an army of mobile minions to wage battle on the next person/issue that dared to cross the always moving line of their own design. No progress is ever made but to keep the little man in power as he rails against the big man.
If I had my wish, adults would act like adults, people of faith would actually stop using it as a wall to hide their lies and purposeful acts of deceit, and those who call on conservatives to be conservatives, the loud and often hate-filled speechifying flame-throwers, would pull the log out of their own eye before looking for the splinter in the eye of another.
If I had my wish… conservatives would understand our current enemy is not the left but the persistent push from within for division and come to the realization that a house divided cannot stand and those who would seek to form the division will be the architects of our defeat.
