Poke Me In The Eye With A Pencil!

I spent yesterday celebrating my 49^th birthday. It didn’t seem much different than my 29^th or 39^th, and I hope that I feel this way on my 59^th (scary thought). I was born on Election Day in 1959, and I blame my absolute obsession with politics on that fact. I spent the day yesterday contemplating next steps if Obama wins this election, and takes this country in the wrong direction.

I came to the conclusion that Americans, who believe in the constitution, small government, individual liberty, and a government of the people, need to start educating others, and especially the young people in this country on the fundamentals of being American. We have left our education system to the left and they have destroyed it. It is a bastion of political correctness, shallow learning, and stewarded by people that have little if any real business or life experience. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good teachers trying to make a difference but nothing replaces real life experience and passion in a classroom.

We need to reform the way we hire teachers. We need people teaching that have spent their careers in the private sector building, managing, and understanding the way our private sectors operate. We need lawyers, doctors, engineers, and nurses becoming teachers after they have spent 20 years in the private sector. We need to hire for real life knowledge and passion in our classrooms. Political correctness and unions be damned.

We need to go on the offensive and focus on the failure of every bureaucracy and government program, offer solutions, then move on to the next bureaucracy. We have to be diligent and persistent in the fight. Then in the next election cycle the only candidates that will rise to the top will be ones worthy of our vote. We have ignored our political and educational institutions for far too long. We know this because we have seen the values that have made this country great disregarded, impugned, and ridiculed in this election cycle.

We have people asking what the government is going to do about our “problems”. I ask what are you doing for yourself? We must stop asking the government to get involved where they have no business. You can tie most problems right back to the government, whether it is inefficiency, over reaching regulation and taxation, creating dependency and stealing the hope of individuals, ruining our education system or financial systems, or being lax in our National and border security. Wherever there is a problem, the government is not far away. It is time to fight this intrusion.

Many of us are anxiously awaiting today’s results, and I know I am not the only one concerned with the radical left being in control of all three branches of government. You know who you are. We need to unite here and start the battle. No matter what the election results are we need to start engaging in the system so we have a much more informed electorate in the next election cycle. Our saving grace is that we know; God always blesses America…

I can only hope…

That Americans go to the polls understanding that elections have consequences:

·         That change is not always for the positive

·         That power and a lack of experience is a dangerous combination

·         That the constitution has given us our prosperity, freedom, and ability to be uninformed

·         That judges are like tyrants if not harnessed by the constitution

·         That the constitution is not a living document; it is what rules are to a game, defined and for a purpose

·         That speaking is a great skill for a politician but honesty and integrity is not negotiable

·         That policies and lack thereof have consequences, just remember September 11^th

·         That our military deserves our thanks not dismissive condemnation

·         That the UN, France, Germany, and the rest of the world can kiss our …

·         That God is not a 4 letter word; anywhere

·         That guns are the only insurance to a free society; just read our or any history

·         That freedom is not free

·         That being tortured by the enemy, fighting for this country, is a real qualification to be considered

·         That hanging out with terrorists and America haters; is a real consideration

·         That America as we know it is not guaranteed for the future

·         That this is a government of the people, Messiah’s and Kings need not apply

·         That America is a sovereign nation; our future should be determined by us

·         That God truly did Bless America; let’s think about that…
