I never thought I would be saying this, but I feel like I need to take a hiatus from blogging. For the last two years I have been blogging everyday at a pace that I am now just burned. I love blogging about politics and everything that goes with it because I am a political junkie and I do plan to run one day for office. I could never acknowledge when would be the right time for me to stop blogging and if there ever really was a right time. The blogging has been such a joy for me and I have got to interact with many wonderful people. Over the last two years when I started the blog back in May of 2008, I didn't know who I really was and now after two years I think I do know myself a lot better through my blogging.
I only started to become a conservative in the latter part of 2007 and through the two years that I have been blogging in June of 2010, I can proudly say I am a Hannity/Levin conservative. I say that I am a Hannity/Levin conservative because through Sean Hannity and Mark Levin I developed my thinking and they have had a big influence on my life and with blogging and listening to them I have become the conservative that I am today.
This decision does not come easy for me as I have been deliberating on what to do for a long time. I had continued to blog until today because I could not stop and there are many reasons why and they actually still stand true still to this today. I started because I love politics and wanted to discuss it on a conservative website and inform readers of the political events that are happening all across this great and wonderful country. Once I recognized who Obama was and is to this today, I could not stop blogging. I needed to cover and expose Obama and his cronies and the rest of the Democrat Party for who they were; nothing but people hell-bent on destroying the United States of America.
I still don't know if I'm making the right decision, but maybe I will return, maybe I will not, I just do not know at this time. The only thing keeping me going is the fact that I'm afraid that if I don't expose the Democrats and Obama many people might know the information that is important to know. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, but from the plethora of information that I link to on this blog, many other blogs do not have that information. It pains me to stop and cease to provide my wonderful readers of great information, but, I have to do what is important and what is important right is for me to take a little break and I might come back or occasionally post here and there, but maybe not. I believe I will either come back full-time or nothing at all.
Blogging on Townhall has been a wonderful journey and learning experience for me and I hope you all have enjoyed it too as much as I did. We conservatives will be back whether it is this year or next, I believe that will be back, but we must never give up and continue fighting because this country is exceptional and not how our president thinks of American exceptionalism. If we do not continue fighting for our founding principles of this country; this country will cease to exist and we cannot let that happen. This country is worth fighting for and I will not stop fighting for it as should none of you.
I do have suggestions before I part and it is some suggestions of where I get all my information because I do not want all of my readers to be handicapped by not arming themselves with all the important information to know.
