So, I did this
thing yesterday that caused me to have a dream.
In the dream, I was attending a political convention. The person speaking was asking questions of
the people. This person turned to me and
asked about the environment. I talked
about the harvesting of trees.
Northwestern Montana needed to be able to go back to logging. The eyes of a man in the crowd brightened up,
and he cheered. The commentator turned
to another person which made me sad. I
didn't get to talk my favorite topic of my soldiers or my retirement fund. After the convention, I was asked to run for
a position in the Montana government.
The thing I did
to cause the dream was that I watched night 1 of the Republican National
Convention. I have never done this
before. My husband and daughter talk
politics ALL the time. She worked for Matt
Rosendale earlier this summer. We were
hoping to attend some rallies for him and such before COVID hit. We went to South Dakota where patriotism
abounds with everything presidential. I
will do a post on that next week. All of
these things set me up for dreamland.
Now, the last
thing we need in this country is another person being a talking head for the
political machine. We don't need more
negativity on either side of the aisle.
We are all tired of the rudeness and negativity. I have been called a small town Montana woman
with the ugly connotation that I am stupid and know nothing. Because of my beliefs, I have been pointed at
as being selfish and ignorant. Yep, I am
a small town Montana woman and proud! I
can be a bonehead at times, and I certainly don't know everything. I can be selfish and with certain topics I am
ignorant. However, I am also giving, knowledgeable,
humble, and smart every now and then. With
all of that said, I wanted to point out some interesting things I saw and heard
as I watched night 1.
The overall feel
of the night was positive and hopeful.
The convention started with a prayer and almost everyone praised our
country and asked God to continue to bless the U.S.A. A democrat from Georgia spoke in favor of
President Trump. That blew me away. He talked about free thinking, and he likes
the President's track record so far. The
owner of Mountain Mud Espresso from Billings talked about the quick turn around
for her small business money from the federal government. Go Montana!!!
Hershel Walker talked of his 37 year friendship with the President and
his family. Finally, a gentleman who
came here from Cuba and became a citizen spoke.
His story was very moving and positive, but he worries. He brought me to tears.
I didn't at all
become uncomfortable about the tone of the night. Sure, they talked about their interpretation
of what they consider as Mr. Biden's bad track record in politics. A few people talked about the basement which
isn't praise, but I am not at all sure what they were talking about. Of course, they talked about wanting to change
and fix things. Their way of going about
it is different than the Democrats. Yet,
this was talked about in passing more than anything. They actually concentrated on President
Trump's track record and how he wants to continue his work.
All in all, I
enjoyed the speeches and learning new things.
I loved the patriotism and open talk of God. Now, I do have biases towards the Republican
Party. I would never deny them. Is it the best party? No, but it is the best party for me. Today, I am going to watch night 1 of the
Democratic National Convention. I really
hope to be pleasantly surprised. Will I
switch parties? I highly doubt it. What I want is to be away from the media's,
and frankly obnoxious people's, interpretation and negativity. And yes, I cringe as I write that last sentence. I can be obnoxious as well.
