I will no longer be a sheep.

I have tried very had to stay out of politics but as winter turns into spring and I observe to condition of our Union and the direction our Law Makers are taking, I find myself afraid for my children adn their future for the first time of my life. I can no longer bury my head in the sand but neither will I lay blame on any specific individual. If I lay blame I must blame myself for being little more than a sheep. I have heard the term more frequently and at first I was angry. I insisted I am not or never have been a sheep but in reality that is exactly what I have become. I look up every once in a while to see whats going on and deem it unimportant and promptly go back to grazing.

I can not do this anymore.

I have decided to not only educate myself but to pass on to anyone that is interested. I am going to try to be biased but I am a Republican so I will try to do the best that I can. I don't think I could do any worse than our news papers. I will try to stick to the truth.

I am going to start by learning about our constitution. Over the next several weeks I am going to post our constitution and all its amendments. It is time to leave the safety of the mob, open my eyes and think for myself for a change.

good for you, I totally agree. Funny you found my blog! I've never met any other Pates other than family, and we actually have some in FL too. I enjoy your blog as well. and my husband wanted to name our kids with E names in my honor, so that's where that comes from. Funny that you also have so many E's in your family!
