Time for the Wolves

I suspect that most of you reading this blog are conservatives. It is possible that a few are masochistic socialists (pardon the redundancy.) I also suspect that most of you vote Republican (save for the aforementioned idiots.)

If you haven’t noticed, it’s February. And if you live in North Carolina (God’s Country) an important process is beginning. February is when the NC Republican Party begins preparations for the coming year. Precincts hold annual meetings to select officers and register delegates and visitors for the county, district, and state conventions.

Here’s the rub:  too many conservatives and Republicans are ignorant of the precinct system. The precinct is a geographical delineation of where you vote. On election day you vote at the polling place in your precinct. Early voting is a different pile of “stuff,” so I’m not discussing it here. Every precinct has an organization to help educate and organize like-minded individuals to energize party members and attract new ones. If you like what happened last November 5^h, that result came from grass roots effort in the precincts.

Republicans and conservatives (they are NOT mutually inclusive) present a unique challenge. For the most part they are individuals who like their privacy and independence. I certainly do. Socialists, like dummycrats, tend to gather together like sheep waiting for a border collie to tell them what to do. Socialist party conventions tend to be little more than social cheering rallies to support whatever stupid idea their elite border collies tell them to. Republican conventions tend to be more argumentative, sometimes boisterous affairs, where we grudgingly come together to meet agreement. They aren’t always fun, but usually entertaining. The challenge is getting private individualists to come together regularly to do the work necessary that results in conservatives getting elected and keeping our community safe for ourselves.

If you don’t know what precinct you live in, go the election board website. If you live in Craven County, NC, go CravenGOP.org. You’ll find a wealth of information there. Then go to your precinct meetings. Participate. Learn something about your community, your elected officials, and how you can actually help. NOTE:  they don’t twist your arm for money at the meetings. But you might find out how to participate in an entertaining fundraiser.

I have used the comparison about the socialists being sheep (sheeple.) I have used the comparison that conservatives being like lone eagles. But NOW is the time for conservatives to be Republicans (and vice versa) and transform into what president Trump has revealed himself to be. It is time to join the pack and become wolves. The sheeple are in disarray.  It’s time for lunch.
