Who’s in charge of America?
The voter’s are!
In this topsy turvy time it seems like the virulent 16% anti-war types are, or the ever pathetic media types in their own world, or even the inside the beltway of D.C. types who live in their own self-important world are in charge. At least that is what is reported.
Add in the ultra liberal San Francisco control of the former national democratic party still using the influence of their predecessors’ good work, and another façade has been added to the American political landscape.
But at times like this, it is best just to wake up and go to work, and do the political basics, to include voting. A lot of politically embarrassing things are being said and done, often without reported challenge, that will come home to roost. The era of do-gooderism and good intentions is coming to an end when these people begin to threaten our and our children’s way of life. There are choices and consequences, to include choices and consequences to psychobabble. And in swarm theory, and experience, the swarm of Americans are fickle and will change course in a moments notice. Hence do the political basics today.
This idea is not about power. It is about America, a way of life, and our future, and our children’s future.
This post is also not some hidden message about all the Iraq problems we as a Country have. It is about all the domestic and foreign problems we have as Americans. Given the present report card on our present political leaders, mostly in D.C., we Americans have done a poor job electing our representatives. In the immigration debate it took a hard worked coordinated message from the citizens to the inside the beltway types, twice, to send a message that won the Senate vote. Life would be easier if we voters just elected them up front. How about that as a course of action?
Having lived and worked and done the budget battles inside the D.C. beltway, one will get caught up in the mentality there. Most Americans just don’t know how it is. Even the best intentioned people forget the more blue collar issues that drive most Americans in their family lives and jobs in the rest of America when they (inside the D.C beltway) get caught up during their D.C. service fighting for their cause.
The solution is simple. Vote. And suck it up in the meantime.
