So many people liked my last status yesterday about the old man at Wendys. I wasnt expecting that kind of a response. I appreciate the response and the support... but this is actually how Ive always lived my life. At the same time.... Im not gonna lie to you and make you think Im some kind of saint. Ive been known to become outright vicious against people when I feel threatened in some way, or when I sense that a friend or loved one is under attack. I DO have a warrior mentality.... but I try to temper my righteous indignation (anger) with actual righteousness. That certainly doesnt mean I am without blame. Ive made plenty of mistakes. I can be meaner and tougher than a lion.... but I try to temper it with what I think is right. Thats how a lot of people are. I dont think Im any different. We have goodness within us.... but we can turn on a dime and become violently defensive. Ive never had a problem with fighting... because I think some things are worth fighting for. I think I AM the right person for Sheriff in my county. (Kosciusko) Why? Because Im going to do what I think is right whether I win or lose. Frankly... I dont care about power. If I cared about power.... I would have done everything possible to stay in law enforcement the first time around. It was a HUGE headache. lol The idea of becoming Sheriff is actually kind of scary. Id be lying to you if I said otherwise. I KNOW what its about..... but Im willing to sacrifice my life in many ways to help MY PEOPLE.... the people of Kosciusko. The U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights is the blueprint weve been given for freedom and liberty. Why wouldnt I feel strongly about supporting and defending it? Theres no question in my mind that now more than ever.... THE PEOPLE need to rise up and defend our Constitution and our liberties. I am a leader. I will continue to lead by example whether I win or not. Would you have thought differently of me if Id been wearing a badge when I helped that man?..... or when I stood up for the puppies that my neighbor had been starving? I dont think so. Its everyones job to do whats right. I think you would have supported me anyway. Ive done a lot of good things in my life when it counted. Yesterday was no different. The only difference is that I told you about it. It wasnt my intention to have so many people patting me on the back. The vast majority of the good and decent things Ive done have never been known, so that I could do good works privately as not to put myself up on a stump. I am actually kind of embarrassed by the situation. It makes me feel like Im trying to elevate myself. The truth is: The real glory will always belong to THE Creator who works through me and through many of you. Thats the nature in people that I want to feed and see grow. I made a promise decades ago... I made an Oath (to God) to support and defend the US Constitution. I Intend to keep that promise one way or another. I just feel like I can do more if Im given the chance to serve as Sheriff. What I can do for you will only be a positive by-product of the promise I made years ago. If people believed in their Oaths as strongly as I do... I wouldnt feel compelled to run for office myself.
