After dealing with your initial disappointment, how should a conservative deal with her politicial future?

<<< Me and my oldest.  She is back in school  (Georgetown),  a University grad finishing Magna Cum Loude in the 1990's (I think all my kids did something similar).   Me?   I made the top 95 percent of my class   . . . . . . . .   possible and used to weigh 330 pds.  No more. 


To answer the headlined question,  consider this:  

For starters,  keep in mind the disaster for the Left that is the Obama Administration.  He started with the most powerful/one-sided political opportunity in American history,  and, managed to pass one critical piece of legislation in two stinking years.  Good grief.  We lost the ObamaCare argument,  but won the day on any number of concerns     . . . . . .    and we will be the ones to fix ObamaCare;  for certain,  "they" have no clue.  That's obvious after seven years of silliness. 

Remember the 2010 landslide midterms,  the 2012 elections in which Obama garnered 3.5 fewer votes than he received in 2008 and allowed Romney 1 million more votes than the 2008 loser,  John McCain.  

Keep 2014 in mind,  as well.  With that election,  we drove Obama's party from its most powerful position in its history to its weakest collective since 1928  (and that is where that party remains).  

They did not beat us with ObamaCare or Gay Marriage  . . . .   the Courts did that.  Important.  "They" have not won a major political battle since March of 2010.  It is our party that is changing its face and talent stream.  The Dems have no one except Hillary. 

Keep all this in mind,  because this is the context for  today's political battles,   not the Court's decisions on any subject.  

Secondly,  I suggest that you do what I intend to do   . . . .    continue the fight as I have for years and ignore Obama's childish attempt to become relevant again.  Including Reagan,  Conservatives have lived the WH 19 years versus 16 for the Dems (at the end of Obama's term).  Not a bad record   . . . . . . .     hardly a declaration of domestic dominance as the Socialist Dems claim.  

I will continue to counsel gays who come to me (I am a  retired pastoral counselor),  encourage the transgender minded to reconsider their choices and deal with their biology in terms of reality   . . . .  after all,  biology is science,  gender assignment is only cosmetic surgery,  and, help those in my circle of influence with time,  counsel and money as I can.  

In a word,  I intend to continue as if these morons on the Left have nothing to do with my life,  because,  contrary to popular belief,  they do not,  except when I surrender to their intolerance and bigotry.
