Well it’s been fairly apparent that the Republican party has been neglected in the 2008 election year. Those of us proud Republicans, Neo-Reps and others that disagree with the general alignment of the modern Liberal/Communistic Democratic party should be up in arms over the blatant disregard for our candidate, Mr. John McCain.
There was also obvious favoritism from the American media when it came time for the Democratic National Convention. Television shows, movies and even current news of foreign affairs all took a back seat to the Dem’s ridiculous self-absorbed pomp and rhetoric. I mean I could handle “looking over the fence” at the two candidates of the opposition, as they warred with each other like a couple of school kids fighting over who had more friends on the recess playground. I didn’t mind when the “Candidate of Color” and the “Washington Wench” tiptoed around the possibility of joining forces as Pres and VP. Yet through all of this year’s political dramatics and slander slinging, I did get a bit miffed about the spin being applied to freely offered background information from Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican VP candidate.
This woman has fought tough battles in Alaska, beginning with unseating the incumbent liberalistic Republican Governor, defeating her Democratic opponent and continuing with making hard and unpopular decisions regarding ethics, oil and natural gas. This is all within a 2 year span, no less! Now some would say that she doesn’t have enough experience at making executive decisions, that being a mayor and Governor don’t really count for anything. Or being a mom and wife, along with being a mayor or governor, doesn’t count either. So what does count?
I know, how about voting “Present” on the tough decisions in Congress, which is the neither a Yea or Nay. Well what about going to a foreign country and running for public office, when that country’s vote doesn’t matter? No, no, I have it! Why not pretend to be a lawyer, who’s married to a lawyer, that is more interested in promoting socialism than patriotism?
Mrs. Sarah Palin is a person that can handle the job and is not afraid of bringing real change to American politics. This country needs stand-up leaders that are not afraid to pull the few skeletons out of the closet, to prove their humanity and transparency. Sarah Palin brought all her cards to the table concerning the backgrounds of her family and herself. Mrs. Palin and Mr. McCain have decided to reveal all to the public eye. So why is everyone making a big deal out of her husband’s 20+ year old DWI? Why such a stink over her daughter’s out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Not to confuse subjects here, or to bring religion into it, but I have to quote Jesus Christ – “Let he who is without blame cast the first stone.” All of us have disfunction in our lives, to one degree or another, and we all have skeletons that we wish could go away. This is about character, not of how her daughter has behaved, or how her husband was arrested, but of how she hasn’t waited for some tabloid to dig up dirt. Mrs. Palin provided this information.
As Americans, let’s forget about political alignment and look at the character of the people running as Republicans. I could honestly care less about who is running for what party. I would have voted for Ronald Reagan, even if he were not a Republican, because he was a transparent patriot. I honestly can’t say I believe that the last few Presidents were true patriots. I am a war veteran and I love my country, but I hate what we as Americans have become – fat, lazy, ignorant, disrespectful, untrusting, untrustworthy, selfish, racist, and immoral.
What has happened to the people of our country? Where’s the love of fellow country-men gone? Most everyone cares only of themselves, not the greater good of the nation. I don’t mean more programs either, I am talking about real “grass-roots” here. I mean a resurgence of belief in what this country was founded on, Freedom! Freedom to choose what is right, not what is popular. Freedom to speak your mind. Freedom to worship God as you choose. Freedom to protect yourself, your loved ones and your personal property. Freedom to become wealthy. These freedoms are what make this nation great, not the number of government funded programs that ultimately increase mediocrity and promote socialism.
I am calling all American Patriots to step up and be counted this November, at the polls. Cast your vote and make a move towards real change – again. Your vote can bring back the strength and pride we had during the presidencies of Reagan, Eisenhower, Lincoln and Washington. We have a Dynamic Duo, a one-two punch if you will, of the best and most productive ticket in the last 20 years. Let’s not waste this opportunity. Vote.
