Voting or Brute Force?

Well, here I set watching the news like many of you and scratch my head at what I see. A Mosque at "Ground Zero" and we as Americans are supposed to be ok with that? That's like have a sequel to a movie and the main character from the first movie is not the same actor in the second. It's like Hollywood thinks we won't notice or something. They share some facial attributes, hair color, size and maybe they sound the same, but they are clearly two different people. Washington is trying to avoid the sequel to "The Great Depression" but we can tell it's the same story. OK, maybe different actors; the clothes are different; the times are different, but it's the same movie. It's the reverse of the scenario I mentioned earlier. It's like recording a song that was recorded 25 years ago and changing the tempo and even maybe the genre. However; you know, "Hey, that's that old tune so-in-so sang when we were kids". That is exactly what America faces right now. It is the repeat of the Depression of the 1930's that was extended and worsened by President Roosevelt. Except today instead of being in debt millions, it is trillions! I heard an example from a prominent Pastor put like this: If you opened a business the day Jesus Christ was born and that business lost 1 million dollars everyday up to the present, you would need to add 700 years all the while losing 1 million dollars daily, that would add up to 1, yes 1 (one) trillion dollars. If I am not mistaken we are now in debt 14 trillion dollars. Madness!! With all that stated, will this fall's elections bring about the tools & ideas we will need as a country to get a handle on out of control spending and reasserting Americas place in the world? Will Washington "get it"? With all the issues facing America today and tomorrow our elected government has repeatedly went against the American peoples will. Is voting what they respect? Is term limits the key to restraining Senators from amassing too much power? In Americas past more than not, people in power or people with connections above the common man, the one and only thing that they all have responded to and understood is "Brute Force". I am not a "Founding Father", a General of the Army, a Senator or anyone that has ever been someone that should be in a place of power, but should more of the everyday common man or woman be the ones in power. To this point, people of the upper class, or the privileged elite have not exactly done a "bang-up job". I believe I am like many of you and would like to round them all up and put them all in a military tribunal, convict them of crimes against America, and sentence them to either Life in Prison or the Death Penalty. When I say, "round them all up" that means all leftist, Democrats, bleeding hearts, and either send them to the country of their choice or make this the last generation they corrupt. I like many of you believe in education, expanding you mind, new experiences, leaving a better country to the generation after me. I used to believe this country was in the mantra of "The needs of the many, outweigh the few, or the one. Not the other way around! Democrats, ultra leftist, bleeding hearts, believe exactly the opposite. Everyone has to conform to each little group, anyone different we have bow before them, the many have to walk on "eggshells" around the "few" or the "one". What's wrong with that? The list is too many and too long. There is a lot to be said about the beliefs of the Founding Fathers and traditions. If we were still following those beliefs and standards set out for us, maybe we would not be where we are today. Maybe Brute Force has been underrated? What do you think?

New Candidates same ole' results?

At this point in American politics we are faced with the incumbents or something new. Is it a new candidate with real ideas, viewpoints, ready to work attitude, real change; or is it the same ole' same ole'? I know with the emergence of the Tea Party and the different factions it has spawned we hear of new candidates and real change. Is it real change? Real change like now President Obama promised in his 2008 campaign? In many ways our country has reverted back to a system of government that our ancestors left England & Europe to escape. What system you ask? The Feudal system. The Feudal system of government consists of Lords and Vassals or Serfs. To break that down simply is the haves and the have nots'. Our country has reverted back to a time where we have a class of society what is called Aristocrats i.e.; Senators, Representatives, both at the Federal level and State level. The Middle Class or "town folk" that bares the cost or brunt of keeping the aristocrats living a lifestyle that they are accustom to. Then you have the poor, in which they do not contribute to society either by paying taxes or living on government provided welfare, which is of course right where the aristocracy wants them. Using England as an example, you had the King or Queen which oversaw all the Dukes, Lords, Counts, Knights, which in turn they oversaw the people that lived in small villages on the "Nobles" land and payed tribute or taxes to the Dukes and Lords for their abundant grace. Then their was the poor such as the Scottish or Irish people who merely existed to provide for their Nobles. If you ever notice when a Senator or Congressman is speaking at a press conference about a upcoming bill or an issue that resonates with the country they never speak of their own personal experience or that of their own families. They always read a letter or speak of a conversation from the campaign trail that they found to be so moving, so inspiring and now they've decided to champion this current cause. Do you know why they always speak of a letter from someone or a story from stranger met on the campaign trail? It is because they are wealthy, always have been and will continue to be. They are not faced with the trials that everyday Americans are faced with, such as health care because they have money. Money that enables them to pursue whatever form of treatment is needed. They do not know true hardship so they are faced to rely on us for a grasp of reality. By the people, For the people, Of the people is no longer true. Our representatives are no longer from us, the rank and file people of everyday life. They have been elevated to the status of Dukes and Lords and we are the Vassal's. We've set back and allowed them to vote pay raises, free trips, $3o,000 dollar a plate fundraisers. Does that sound like anyone you know? When has a Senator or Congressman ate "brown beans & cornbread" because that's all they had and not at a restaurant along the way on the campaign trail. So will electing people with new names and professing new viewpoints really be any different? When the current government passes bills into law that only 30%-40% of the people favor and reject the will of the American people at every turn, how do we stop them? Barack Obama was a different candidate. He is a African-American, young, a father, has not spent 40 years in elected office, professed change that you can believe in. What has that got us? More of the same. Disappointment and distrust and more importantly on the verge of Social and Economic Collapse. At the Town Hall meetings people voiced their opposition to the issues. Did it change their vote? NO! Regardless of America's collective view they vote against us at every turn. They believe thru their privileged upbringing, private schools, ivy league college, world travels, that they have been enlightened and it is their duty to save us from ourselves. When did we decide as a people, as a nation that people of privilege should decide what's best for us? I don't remember giving them that ability. Though I may not be rich, not well versed in multiple languages, traveled the world, educated at Harvard, I believe that I am capable of determining my own destiny, my own fate. The only thing people like this understand is brute force, naked aggression. That is what it took to open up the eyes of England's Royalty. Maybe you've heard of it, the Revolutionary War? Say we vote in these "new" candidates and it turns out they are the same. What will we do then? Amidst economic collapse, will new name candidates seem appealing? I think not. I'm not saying violence is the answer, but what is it going to take? I am at a loss as to what it is, except total revolution. I wonder if demanding the resignation of every member of "The White House", staff and the current President, every Senator, every Representative, and repealing such laws as Health Care, Finance Reform, etc. would bring about real change in our new government and stabilizing our Republic to insure people such as these are not so easily returned. I don't have all the answers let alone any single answer, but I do know something has to give or the "straw" will break the "camel's back". Maybe the time for talking is over. How good has talking been in deterring Iran from seeking nuclear weapons. How good was talking to Nazi's in ending WW II? Talking has it's time, however force has it's time as well. However I am in no way the person to decide that. I don't know if anyone really ever is. Basically we have to do something now to fix, no no... save this country or there will not be one left to save, I fear.
