Here you will find my opinions on many topics, especially concerning politics and the political parties. And I have a lot to say about them. Mostly critical, but every once in a while, the elected officials surprise me and do something good. Sometimes very good. Not very often, but even a broken clock is correct twice a day. And when, or if, that happens I will call it out, if appropriate. But don&#8217;t hold your breath. So far our elected officials have done nothing to stand out, especially the Republicans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is an offshoot of my main website, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpmcc.com\/gpmccmain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GPMCC.com<\/a>. From the main website, this site opens in its own tab\/window and is a standalone entity. It is related to the Quick Blog, but that content varies wildly and is normally not associated with this site. Each site serves a unique purpose, and I try not to mingle the two. Refer back to the main website, GPMCC. com for a more detailed explanation. For convenience you can access the Quick Blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpmcc.com\/blog_quick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>My Opinions<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am an independent conservative. I used to be a Republican and before that a dimocrat. I was dim in those days, but I learned as I grew older. It was Jimmy Carter who turned me into a Republican, but it was Rush Limbaugh who converted me into a Conservative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Republican Party threw me, and others like me, under the bus during the Obama\/Romney election I changed party affiliation from Republican to Independent. I have never regretted that decision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is true I am an Independent it is also true I vote Republican. But I vote for the candidate, not the party and if I give money, I give to the candidate not the party. The Republican party, as a whole, has become, actually it has been for many years, spineless, yellow-bellied wimps of gargantuan abundance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Granted there are a few Republicans who have the fortitude of steel, but they are few and far between. Hence their voice is often drowned out by those who claim &#8220;Muh principles&#8221; are more important than the welfare of the country. I am convinced that the &#8220;Muh principles&#8221; crowd is going to destroy this country and get us killed in the process unless things change, like now. Tomorrow is too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice I have not discussed the Democrats yet, but I will, all in due time. But here is a hint: If I find disfavor with the Republicans, just imagine my displeasure with the dimocrats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to remember the golden rule of dimocrats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>The politician who cheats the best wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Accountability Begins with You<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The pages in these blogs are geared towards the foundation of helping you improve yourself. It is you who must begin the change, if you want a better life, a better tomorrow, a future for your children. Your <strong><em>voting <\/em><\/strong>actions will determine if the American experiment lives or dies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben Franklin said it best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If we don&#8217;t hold ourselves accountable, we will lose all. It is a mathematical certainty. Time is the only unknow factor, and it is not working in our favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my hope you find these blogs informative and helpful. However, you must find it within yourself, your soul, to excel in your own future. I can&#8217;t do it for you; I can only suggest a plan of action. You must do the work to make life better, not only for your immediate family but future generations as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would wish you luck, but luck is what you make of it. And you have the power within yourself to make a lot of good luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>G.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Main GPMCC blog.
