Make the Fear Disappear

Children take their cues from the adults in their lives. If you’re anxious, then it’s most likely they will be too. If you’re more relaxed, then it’s easier to soothe their fears.

Get The Facts !

As the saying goes, “knowledge is power.” In any situation, one way to reduce stress is to know the facts. With COVID-19, though, it seems like information is everywhere. What we know about this new virus changes quickly, too. So, it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not.

To find the facts about COVID-19, and not be overwhelmed, it’s a good idea to stick with just one or two trusted resources. Choose well-respected national medical groups like the National Institutes of Health or the CDC. Don’t rely on the agenda driven media or politicians.

Facts can help reduce stress, in adults and especially children. Don’t make your irrational fear effect your child’s sense of feeling safe. This virus is not a death sentence for most people. Most people recover. Teach good hygenine, importance of hand washing and communication of their feelings. Let them know we are taking some additional safety measures to protect the vulnerable but that they and their family are going to be fine.

The fear mongering from the media has on adults mental health is one thing, hopefully people are doing their own research and getting the real facts. But the fear that has been put in children, is nothing short of child abuse in my opinion.

Your Choice to Have a Voice!

As much as we want to blame democrats for the situation that we are in now, conservatives need to take some responsibility too. Not enough people cared enough to educate themselves or others, read about, write about , nor speak about what people in our government and the media were doing to us. Not enough people were willing to risk getting on peoples nerves. Not enough people cared about the fight, even though they wanted a certain outcome. Every adult in this country is well aware what we have been up against for a long time. Its not like corruption just popped up last week. I’ve seen our freedoms deminish, our country get more secular with lower values and morals and our politicians get more and more dishonest most of my adult life. I have spent the last ten years and especially the last four years trying to educate, expose and relay what it means to be an American and why it’s so important that we stay founded in our Constitution. My free time has been consumed with researching, writing and blogging about politics all at the expense of irritating pretty much everybody I know. It made me uncomfortable at times, it made people I care about upset with me at times and it wasn’t fun 99% of the time. But I knew it was important and something I had to do, even if only a hand full of people listen to me, care about the topic or read a blog I wrote… then it was worth it, i was doing my part.
Sadly, the democrats were more apt to engage in a conversation or debate with me and fight for their position. I found more conservatives , the people who agreed with me, were more likely to not be interested or show interest in the political issue of the day. They had better things to do or talk about, more fun things to do than read political articles or watch historical documentaries. Yes, there are a handful of you that showed as much passion and i knew who i could depend on to help spread the message , but so many conservatives didn’t take time to fight for what we all saw coming, not enough of us took the time or energy to do what needed to be done. I won’t lie and say I wouldn’t have rather played games on my phone or binge watched seasons of the Golden Girls. I especially hated being known by many as “the irritating patriotic obsessed politics girl. “
But I knew that our country was in trouble and i knew it was worth fighting for, I saw this disaster coming our way, we all did. I knew I had to speak up or we would get what we deserved. But I’m only one voice. I don’t know what y’all expected to happen if you just sat back and watched.

My grandfather crawled into a tin can of an airplane at 20 yrs old knowing the Japanese would be shooting at him and wanted to kill him. He did that after only seven weeks of flight school to save our country. I’m sure many of your fathers and grandfathers and great grandfathers fought for this country too… and with their lives. All we had to do was sit in the comfort and safety of our homes and take the time out of our days to fight with our words, our time or social media. Read and write a little, strike up conversations, volunteer or join conservative organizations. Do something. Get out of your confront zone and debate the opposition, just at least try and explain what is at stake. Explain how history has shown that situations like we find ourselves in now, don’t end well. How that other countries with corrupt governments or socialist governments/policies, destroy themselves.
Just speak up about what you believe and not be afraid to ruffle some feathers, get defriended or get on someone’s nerves. Make it clear of your love of country. Be passionate, be factual, be involved and be loud. We don’t riot or burn down cities like the Left when we don’t get our way, that’s blatantly obvious right now. We all know if the shoe was on the other foot, our country would be burning right now . But it doesn’t mean we have to be silent or give in to the mob. I find it quite frustrating that a lot of these uninterested complacent conservatives are now freaking out about this election. You can’t say you honestly thought they would play fair. They haven’t played fair for a single day of Trump’s entire presidency. Why didn’t y’all fight to win if you cared so much about the result? Now many conservatives are ranting and raving or really pissed off on something they did zero to help prevent. I’ve been bitched at about flooding my Facebook with political post or voicing my opinions in conversation or being outspoken and passionate about preventing this very situation and now some of those same people that got upset with me are freaking out that we’ve had a corrupt election. Duh! Maybe if y’all had joined my crusade we would have had a different outcome. It’s a little late to show you care now or upset we didn’t win or more importantly pissed off that our election was stolen by fraud.
You can’t expect to get the outcome you want for something you didn’t stand up to fight for or act surprised that the corrupt politicians acted well, corrupt.
Many many conservatives are just as much to blame for being complacent, lazy and uninvolved. I hope now we will unite and stand up and speak out. I hope now more people will fight for our democracy, our freedom and our country. I hope now people care more and realize freedom dies with silence, the motto of my blog, if anyone took the 5-10 minutes of their time to read and share them, any of the hundreds I’ve taken the time to write ..
You either care about this county or you don’t. If you do, quit bitching and start fighting, prove it. We may not be in fighter planes getting shot at, but we are at war no doubt and we can win this war against corruption and socialism. If we lose the right to have a free and fair election, an election that the people decide, our country is gone. That is what is at stake. So I hope you get over caring how irritating you are and try your best to make others understand that. The uninformed and misinformed voter is just as big of a fight as the fight of ousting the corruption. Do your part.
