Consequences





Consequences


I had a fantastic final swing through West Texas, Odessa-El Paso-Lubbock, over
the weekend, and then to Waco on Sunday evening. What a humbling honor to
travel the Lone Star State from the rolling pine tree hills of East Texas to
the wondrous beauty of Hill Country to the waves of the Gulf to the vastness of
our agricultural lands of grazing cattle and cotton fields to the open grandeur
of the Big Bend and Guadalupe mountains. When you hear the words, “God Bless
Texas,” you just have to respond…yeah, God did, indeed, bless Texas.

 

Yesterday, I had a nice Sunday morning run of about six miles. The change in
the weather just felt great. As I ran, looking out over Lake Ray Hubbard, one
word came to me: consequences.

 

I remember the sage wisdom of former Fox News host, Greta Van Susteren, when
she would say, “Washington DC is the city of no consequences.” We must ask why
would that be the case? We continue to see and hear stories of corruption on a
grand scale, and that brings the current situation with Joe and Hunter Biden to
mind.

 

How is it that we continue to hear of these escapades that are clearly
questionable, if not outright abjectly criminal, yet there are never any
consequences?

 

We all are very aware that if any of us — ya know, those not part of the
elites — were to commit any semblance of the same, we would immediately be
doing the “perp walk.” So, why is it that we become more and more frustrated
when we see no consequences for illegal, criminal, behavior from some? It’s
simple: we want people to be held accountable and responsible for their
actions. We the People do not want anyone to believe they are above the law,
above reproach. There are those who speak of social justice. That is nothing
more than a leftist attempt at forcible, mandated, equality of outcomes. We
just want justice, equally administered to every American.

That leads me to another aspect of the word, consequences; elections have
consequences.

 

Just imagine, if four years ago Hillary Clinton had won the presidential
election, what would the consequences have been? First, and most importantly,
we would have never come to know about the level of corruption that exists
within the highest levels of our Department of Justice. We would have never
known of the deep degree of deception, and collusion, that exists between the
progressive socialist left and their willing allies in the media. The
consequences for our economy, liberty, freedom, and position in the world would
have been endangered. But, the progressive socialist left does not see it that
way. So, here we are again, on the precipice of making a monumental decision
that will have dire consequences for our America, our Texas.

 

Joe Biden is nothing more than a leftist Trojan horse. The manipulative
deceivers of the left want us to accept ol’ Joe within the gates of our
Republic. They have cloaked him in the mantle of “likability;” a moderate, and,
just like everyone else, ol’ Joe, the kid from Scranton, Pennsylvania.

 

The consequence of allowing Biden to enter into our White House means the
return of the progressive socialist left, a Barack Obama part deux.

 

Joe Biden let all of us know the consequences for us here in Texas. Biden
fully admitted that he would “transition” us from oil, meaning that he would
end the oil and gas industry that God has blessed Texas to produce in
abundance. The consequences mean that, regardless of our scenic beauty in
Texas, we would be driven into economic disaster. The consequences mean that
millions would be out of work. Then again, that suits the left just fine as
they need victims to be wedded to welfare nanny-state programs.

 

This election cycle, the progressive socialist left has done a fine job of
telling us how much they hate President Donald J. Trump. Sadly, the
consequences of that hatred have spilled over into an abject hatred of America
itself. They are telling us how horrible our country is, a racist nation. They
say America was founded on racist principles, asserting that our beginning came
in 1619 when the first slave ship reached these shores . . . not 1776 with our
Declaration of Independence. Here in Texas, we have University of Texas band
members refusing to play “Eyes of Texas” because it is deemed racist. The same
university was rated as one of the worst campuses for conservative students in
the country.

 

That, my fellow Texans, is just one example of the consequences of allowing
the delusion of the progressive socialist left to infiltrate the Lone Star
State.

 

Four years ago, some 25 million Christians chose to not vote. The resulting
consequences are that churches have been deemed “non-essential;” Supreme Court
decisions against churches, and a Christian having to go before the Supreme
Court over refusals to bake a cake for same-sex matrimonial ceremonies.

 

Elections do have consequences, and regardless of these cute little Democrat
ads being run on TV, we all know what will happen, and, what they will do. The
consequences mean leftists will obtain power, control, and dominance. That they
will rule, not govern. I do pray that Republicans realize that the electorate
wants to see them govern as constitutional conservatives. Here in Texas, we do
not want to see leftists heading committees in our Texas legislature. Nor do we
want leftists, Democrats, having a part in selecting the Texas State House
Speaker when Republicans retain their majority.

 

Texas is the Lone Star State, and its star illuminates the other 49 stars on
the American flag. We sing in “Texas, Our Texas:”

 

“O Empire wide and glorious you stand supremely blest.”

 

One consequence of this election is whether we will be able to sing “Texas,
Our Texas,” or will we be mandated to kneel to the tyranny of the progressive
socialist left?

 

Cast your vote for liberty and freedom. Cast your vote to kneel for God and
stand for the Pledge to the American and Texas flag. Cast your vote to sing
“God Bless America” and “Texas, Our Texas.” Cast your vote and express that you
want the consequences of this election to be a resounding victory for
constitutional conservatism in Texas, not the failures of progressive socialism.

 

Steadfast and Loyal,

Chairman, Republican Party of Texas
