Political Power vs Political Access

“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”

Published

on

We have written about this before (HERE) … but it seems time for a reminder.

The #1 mistake we see new people and groups getting involved in the political process … the mistake we made ourselves (so not judging) … is people confuse “Power” with “Access”.

Access “feels” nice. You are listened to, you have a seat at the table, your phone calls are returned … they say nice things about you … but access really means you are “Never being perceived as a threat.” You may think you are friends with these people … but as President Truman said, if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog!

Power however is actually getting a politician to do what you want them to do … even if that is as simple as getting them to do what they said they would do on the campaign trial … or to simply follow the Republican Platform.


[NOTE: Another novice “misunderstanding” is thinking people / politicians / GOP officials would never just outright lie to your face. Trust no one!!! Verify everything!!! Good people don’t mind you asking questions. Know that these people lie constantly.

MAKING THE HARD “ASK”:  But wait until you ask a legislator to do something … the basics … like provide us with Medical Freedom, take PORN Books out of our libraries and schools … or God forbid you ask them to give us CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!  

Ask them specifically what they will do, and all of a sudden you will learn there are 1,000 “excuses” … and you will know the difference between “political access” and “political power”. 

We have seen it with SCHOOL CHOICE.  Kids are needlessly suffering, it is an easy fix, and even the most far right school choice supporters cower at the prospect of crossing the “establishment”.  They know the issue, yet they won’t speak up.  That is when you know their true character.


Once you ask for something objectively right to do, but against the power structure … you will find out real quick your “access” means nothing. We did!!!

Your phone calls will no longer be returned. You will finally understand that politicians only care about getting elected or re-elected … and you will learn that unless you have the ability to REPLACE THEM, what you want for “We The People” really won’t matter if what you ask for is “hard”.

On the wall at HQ:

“You have to be politically FEARED to be politically RESPECTED.”


As we stated the last time we discussed this topic … if you don’t see it yet, you will, so just give it time and keep asking questions.

But if you are still excited to get a “selfie” with Lindsey Graham, you are probably reading the wrong daily emails and might want to unsubscribe. 😉


RUN FOR OFFICE

It is time friends!!! We are seeing PATRIOTS all over South Carolina starting to announce campaigns against incumbents.

If you are running for office, thinking about it, or just have some questions … let us know at team@mySCGOP.com.

It is going to be an exciting 2024 election season!!!

Happy Sunday – December 7, 2025

Isaiah 40:3

Published

on

In 2025 America, you are the voice in the wilderness. The way isn’t built by compromise, incremental legislation, or trying to “win over” Babylon. The process starts by calling out the unrighteous, is built by radical repentance and uncompromising proclamation of the coming King – starting in our own homes, churches, and party organizations.

Valleys of moral cowardice, compromise, addiction to comfort have to be filled in. Mountains and hills of egos, pride, corruption, trust in political saviors have to be leveled. Crooked places of lies, spin, betrayal have to be made straight.

Your vote matters, your activism matters, but none of it prepares the way of the Lord. Only a life (and a party) that looks like John the Baptist – unbought, unbowed, uncompromised builds the highway for the returning King.

Happy Second Sunday of Advent!

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), Advent reminds us that the ultimate source of our strength and unity isn’t found only in earthly plans (no matter how good they are), but in the One who is coming again.

Happy Sunday!

Pickens ReOrg ReDo – Clean Slate WIN for America First!

Pickens Republicans Stand United

Published

on

A SCGOP “drama” seven months in the making is now over (HERE & HERE) … with the original results from the March / April Pickens County ReOrg & Convention being the same results as the November / December Pickens County “ReDo” ReOrg & Convention.

It was a huge win for our MAGA America First friends in Pickens from the opening start with the Greenville County Republican Party’s (GCRP) own Parliamentarian & Convention Expert RAY SHEEN being elected as temporary (and ultimately permanent) Convention President.

Once that initial temporary Convention President vote was in (HERE), it was clear that the America FIRST Patriots were by far the dominant voting block.

Congratulations PICKENS … Justice prevails!

Isaiah 40:31

Advent reminds us that the ultimate source of our strength and unity isn’t found only in earthly plans (no matter how good they are), but in the One who is coming again.

This year, we get to carry fresh energy, restored purpose, and real hope into the future, lifted higher and carried farther because our ultimate hope is in the returning King.

So let’s run this race with endurance, work with joy, and love each other boldly … soaring on wings like eagles, because the Lord is renewing us day by day.

Happy First Sunday of Advent!

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Isaiah 40:31

To repeat from last Sunday (HERE), as we rejoice in election victories, let us never forget whom we truly serve: our Lord alone.

Happy Sunday!
