2006: Year in Review
posted December 31st, 2006 in Reviews, Current Events
2006 has been a very busy year, with midterm elections taking up a majority of it. Elections however, weren’t the only thing in the news this year. We had everything from “domestic spying”, to foiled Terrorist plots in England, Border control and amnesty, Scandals, Hezbollah attacking Israel, and finally justice for the Iraqi people.
Through it all, we’ve learned some very important things. One being let the intelligence community and military do their job without media interference. Second, unless we want a Eurabia in the U.S. - FIX THE BORDER! Third, we need to stop trying to make Katie Courric our friend and start getting things done. Fourth, Christian Conservatives – you need to get out and vote in primaries and general elections I don’t care HOW mad you are, not voting is ineffective.
Inspite of the negative, there were many highlights of 2006. One of the more prominent and most recent is justice being served in Iraq. I remember the words “We Got Him” spoken on December 14th 2003 at the start of my church service. Then on December 29, 2006 justice was served and the world is now less one evil terrorist dictator.
2006 was also a growing year spiritually. God has continued to reveal Himself and little pieces of His plan for my life to me over this last year. Amazing doors have opened; one major door is interning at my State capitol during legislative session with a Representative who is a good Christian and also pro- home school. Working with him is enabling me to do things that I would have been unable to had I been a college student or working for a different representative.
Another great thing that God has done this year is allow me to work on staff with Regenerate Our Culture and interact with like minded teenagers who aren’t the “norm”.
This year has also been an excellent learning year. With Operation Completion, and working on 5 campaigns since May, I’ve learned a lot about working with people and persevering. The phrase “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” has rung true over and over again.
The year 2006 and six has definitely been my craziest year, and was definitely an interesting year for the world. Let’s take the lessons we learned in 2006 and apply them in 2007.
Happy New Year America!!!
Happy New Year, KP!
It’s a been a pleasure getting to know you with ROC, the bit that I have.
Keep up the great work and perseverance, Kierstyn!
Great thoughts Kierstyn. 2006 has been extremely exciting for myself as well. Starting debate, working on the SATs, preparing for my senior year of High School, and realizing that I’m about to embark on the great wide water that is- the world.
A Happy New Year, and I can’t wait to hear what God will continue to do through your work!
Happy New Year!
What a coincidence! This has been my craziest year too!
Happy New Year and I pray that God will continue to bless you in 2007!
Nice domain and site for the new year.
Happy New Year! Keep it up!
Later,

“Second, unless we want a Eurabia in the U.S. - FIX THE BORDER!”
What exactly is “eurabia?”
its always interesting to read a different perspective, but you seem to have not been exposed to too much of the alternative viewpoints. Democrats aren’t as bad as you seem to believe. try to open your mind and consider opposing viewpoints a little more…

“eurabia” is the term Tony Blankley used in his book “The West’s Last Chance” to describe the muslim “takeover” in europe. I really should have said “ari-mica” because potentially it would be a muslim “take over” of the US.
Actually, I have met some great domocrats. I love Zell Miller! I have seen quite a bit of the opposing veiwpoint, it’s the people on the left that continue to prove to me that my conservative beliefs are correct.
