The following thoughts are opinion; just to keep the record straight. For years I have heard comments about local people who were elected to office. Comments like: He had to win; everybody in the cemetery voted for him. When you are young, you dismiss this kind of rhetoric as being an impossibility and maybe sour grapes from the opposing party. In 2010 my faith in the voting system was restored with the election of some people who seemed to be concerned for our country in a way that showed a willingness to cooperate with like minded individuals, regardless of party affiliation. In 2012, that faith was obliterated. Right after that, I started this blog. Recent news reports of voter fraud have confirmed what I have suspected. And now, I will draw a conclusion that is mind-blowing. The conservative candidates in America will never win another election unless they can eliminate voter fraud. It is not the platform that has to be changed, it is not the ethnicity of the candidate, it is not the verbiage, it is simply this: find a way to eliminate the voter fraud. With all of the technical advances in our society and with all of the information the government has amassed on each individual, there should be a way to weed out those who are not eligible to vote. Purge the names of those who are deceased, mark the names of prisoners who have lost the right to vote. But, DO SOMETHING! The freedom of all Americans depends on it.
It appears that we have a Manchurian candidate in the White House. For those who are unfamiliar with this term, a Manchurian candidate is one who supports one ideology to get elected but uses his/her executive powers to assist an opposing ideology. I will take this one step further; the White House is not the only place where this kind of candidate has been installed. Congress has several, the NEA has several (based on their proposed curricula for our children), the Fed and the United Nations ditto, and most organizations that control the important aspects of running our country. The land of liberty is becoming the land of liberals. Higher education has become higher indoctrination and it is filtering down into the elementary school level. The people in Congress that we have entrusted to make government decisions are kowtowing to lobbyists and playing games of political correctness. They are parsing their words to make it seem that they care but all they really care about is their own power and their ability to be re-elected to a government office. We need term limits on these parasites. When a bill is passed in Congress, it should be “clean”. No riders or amendments; that would take away the gamesmanship from the process and allow the people to see what these representatives really represent.
Honest people want honest leaders. Right now there are a lot of honest people in America who are disappointed with their leaders. I pray every day for a return to the America where I grew up. An America that recited the Pledge of Allegiance in school every morning, an America where you could worship without fear of being a target, an America where hard work was respected not ridiculed, in essence, a truly free America; unfettered by political correctness, stupid regulations, and senseless laws. Is anybody listening?
