You ever hear of the saying that you are where you are because of the choices that you have made. I believe that to be true. Where we are is a culmination of all choices in life. Take a few small ones out and you are in a different place. Take a major one away and who knows where you might be.
I think that this statement is as true for our country as it is for our personal lives. I realize that the choices our country makes are only the sum of many individual choices, at least in theory. I get so tired of hearing the word democracy. That is mob rule, pure and simple. Take a pack of wolves that come upon a rabbit in the woods. Lets take a vote on what's for dinner. The founders did not establish this country as a democracy. Senators were not to be elected by a popular vote and we as citizens have no RIGHT to vote for president. This all for good reason, which I will not go into now.
Back to decisions. We, as a people, can not keep doing the same things and expect to end up with different results. How many times do we elect the same Senator or Representative just because they are of our party. We keep electing the same people over and over and expecting a different outcome.
I know we need a fundamental change in this country, and I'm not referring to the one Obama campaigned on. I am not even referring to throwing out all the democrats. We have got to get back to the core values that made this country the greatest ever in the world. We have got to stand for honor and integrity. We have got to elect men that embody these traits. We have to demand that corruption and lust for power be eliminated (to the best of our ability-I know it will always be there). We need statesmen. We need patriots. Those who more than self their country love. Those who pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
Where are these men. I dare say there are any in Washington right now. We are squabbling over health care, or cap and trade, or this or that, yet we fail to demand hold our own elected officials accountable. They are the ones we have chosen to guard against the thief in the night (or day) that would destroy the Constitution. They are supposed to work for us.
Search and find those that holds these truths as their own. Support them. Fund them. If you elect them and they don't fulfill their duty, find one who will. You might be that ONE you are seeking. Be informed. Be passionate. Be active. Be vocal. Be true. Be prayerful. Be honest. Be loyal. Be the type of person that you want others to be.
That is all! (For Now)
