A recent comment from me regarding the whole “Motrin Moms” ordeal. Snark FULLY intended..

It’s rather funny how things like this “Motrin moms” issue are viewed as some amazing show of power for social media when in fact it does little more than to show how a few herders can gather their flock, generate false rage, and create a “movement.”

The only thing to come out of this in my opinion is the fact that there are a lot of people out there so very willing to take something so clearly innocuous and blow completely out of proportion using such simple minded interpretations of what was actually said or meant by an ad.

So, when someone asks me, “what’s this social media thing anyway”, there is little to stop me from telling them that its a part of the internet where people who think they are a lot more important than they really are gather around faux celebrities who think they are even more important than the aforementioned group, waste obscene amounts of time and money, and in the end produce no real worthwhile results for society as a whole.

And as much as I enjoy tweeting, facebooking, and scrolling through endless blog entries and comments I’m sorry to say that it’s the damned truth and if “new media” doesn’t watch what they are doing they will quickly find them selves in the exact same position that “old media” is currently facing.

Now, excuse me while I go post this to my blog and tweet about it.

My guy didn’t win and I remain convinced that John McCain was the better of two bad options. With that said there is only one thing to do: move on. There are more battles to come and those should prove to be interesting. For now I can only hope that Barack Obama moves towards the center and realizes that while he won he did not receive a mandate for far left “change.”

When one considers the power shift in Congress it is quickly realized that there are fights coming. Some of the important battles that are coming include fighting against Card Check and Fairness Doctrine legislation. We also have to keep a close eye on round about anti-gun legislation in the form of excessive ammo taxes and firearm requirements.

The biggest battle is for reform of the Republican Party. Not to change but to fall back to what makes the party great. It’s time to clean house. No more RINO’s. No more big government big spending “Republicans” it’s time to remember what President Ronald Reagan gave the party and the nation. Reagan once said that “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” This is what we must fight against. We must renew our fight against government. The power is the people. We give the power to the government to use on our behalf the government does not take FROM us and pretend to know what we need.

We Fail. We learn from our mistakes. We move on with out lessons learned. Until next time.

From Gov. Mike Huckabee:

I’m very proud to have supported Senator McCain and the only regret is that more Americans didn’t share my conviction that he would have made an outstanding President. I not only recognize, but respect that we are a nation in which the people choose and tonight they have chosen Senator Obama. He was not my choice, but he will be my President and I will pray for him to lead this great nation with God’s help and grace. He will face serious challenges to lead our country and he will need all Americans to give him a chance.

The campaign is over and now is the time for governing and leading. The Republican Party must now reassess where it is and where it is going. Our problem is not that our views aren’t acceptable, is that many in our party have abandoned the very principles that once drew Americans to trust us. Our party will be back with strength, but tonight we should all celebrate the historic nature of this election and put our country ahead of our party.

As disappointed as I am that we have lost the election, I can’t help but feel that many courageous leaders of the civil rights movement look down from heaven tonight with a smile that the day has come when a man is elected without regard to his color. I salute President-elect Obama for his discipline and tenacity that has given our country the opportunity to witness this significant event.

Politics is not an event but a process. We sometimes lose the events but it never gives us the right to stop being faithful to our principles that enlisted us in the process. We shall live to fight another day.

Cheers.
