With all the talk of gun banning, collapse of our Constitutionally guarded rights, potentials for civil unrest… well….

Take a cue from The Suburban Dad Survivalist on how we should be behaving:

1. Respect the Constitution.
2. Pray for our leaders, even if you don’t agree with them.  Pray for God to heal our collective souls.  Pray for wisdom for yourself.
3. Educate yourself and others.
4. Remember you get more flies with honey than you do vinegar.
5. Be vigilant about what’s going on in the news and in politics.  Stay on top of current events.
6. Reach out to those who disagree with you.  Build relationships with them.  Let them see you are not a bad person or a nut job.
7. Value truth.  Don’t hide from facts.
8. Prepare for the possibility of more difficult times ahead, for you and your family.
9. Support candidates who espouse your values.  This means supporting their campaigns financially.  It also means reaching out to them to let them know what’s on your mind.
10. Be a nice person.  Don’t be a jerk, even if someone else is being a jerk to you.  Set a good example.

Emphasis on that last one: be nice.
