Complacency - a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like; self-satisfaction or smug satisfaction with an existing situation, condition, etc.
Within a Church setting, I have often called people infected with the disease of Complacency Pew Sitters. Pew Sitters seem to have the one lone duty within a Church of keeping their own section of their favorite pew warm. Nothing else, they don't work, don't necessarily tithe or read the Bible every day, don't teach a class, or visit and evangelize, but they do love their pew and the way their section of it is cushioned just right, and woe be to the foolish Church Member or Visitor who dares to sit in the said pew without explicit permission.
What I witnessed in Arkansas' Elections last Evening was Complacency. Very few Voters studied the differences between the True Conservative in the Race namely Jan Morgan and the Tried and Blue Democrat Politician Masquerading as a Republican Asa Hutchison. Complacent Voters failed to do their homework. Complacent Voters failed to even Vote. Only about 40% of our Registered Voters even showed up. No one cared enough to spend 12 1/2 Minutes or so of their time helping decide the future of our State.
In this election period I lamented at times that I had not funded a Huge Billboard along some major Highway for Jan Morgan. It might have reached 5,000 or more potential Voters. I see now that my investment, no matter how well intended, would have been wasted because of Complacency. Arkansas Voters were far to complacent to weigh the benefits of having a True Conservative in Office rather than the RINO we are now stuck with for another long failing term. Stuck at being one of the worst states in education, in financial growth, in highway construction and in most similar categories. Taxes will not only be higher they will be wasted on programs we didn't vote for. Asa will spend more time working for MSNBC as a News Commentator than he will working to improve Arkansas. That at least has been his Habit this past term.
Complacency cost Arkansans this Election. All Arkansans Lost. We had a chance for better Leadership. We had a chance to get rid of a Fat Cat Politician and RINO. We blew it. Thank you Jan Morgan for giving us your time, your best effort and your whole heart. That is more, by far, than we can ever expect from Asa. It is feeling more and more like the Faubus Days I once felt were long gone.
