Well,
folks…..tonight it is ‘game on’ in our political world. That’s right …..the first Presidential
candidate debate. And there is a lot at
stake here, and forgive me if I wax dramatic.
All of the House of Representatives are up for grabs, a third of the
Senate, and the Presidency.
And make no
mistake about this. This is the most
important election in our lifetime.
This
election is not about the war, because we have lost that one voluntarily
(funny……when we first dropped in on Afghanistan the media kept trying to make
that war another Vietnam…..now that it IS a Vietnam….shhhhhhh). This election is not about the economy though
it is a shambles from which we are likely to not recover. This election is not about abortion, capital
punishment, Obamacare, the debt, the deficit.
It is not about the entitlement mentality, because that will never be
reversed. It is not about illegal immigration,
it is not about the train wreck of our public education system, it is not about
crime. It is not about any of those things.
It is about
us.
It is about
whether we are a people that want what I listed above. Do we want to consciously relegate ourselves,
as a nation, to a second rate world power?
I mean, we CAN…..we are doing it, but as a people, do we want that? Do we want to be a people that just accept
that we are going to be buried in debt, forever? Because that is what we are accepting right
now. Are we willing to be a people, a
nation, in which almost 50% of us pay no federal income tax, live off of the
other 50%? A nation in which the
solution to that imbalance is to merely take more from that 50% that ‘have’? That’s the nation we are now. Do we want to be a people under Obamacare…..a
system that ensures that, no matter how hard you work in life, your healthcare
will be no better than that of the person that doesn’t work at all? Do we want to be a people, a nation with no
borders, no standards of who can be one of us?
I mean, I don’t want to sound arrogant or “uppity”…..but this is the
21st century, and I personally believe that if you want to come here, you
should be a refugee or bring something to the party. I detest abortion……I’ll be honest, I detest
the idea but I am not going to make a decision for our nation based on that.
Do we get
it? Am I making my point? This election is not about any single item,
it SHOULD be about one single item….We the People. Do We want to be a socialist nation?
Many of our
people do. I know people that
acknowledge that Obama, Reid and Pelosi, et al, are destroying the fiber of
this nation, yet they fully intend on voting for him/ them, again. And their particular excuses (and that’s what
they are….they are not reasons) vary from not being able to vote for a Mormon
to conservatives being too far right of center…a point on the dial they cannot
see from their precipice on the left.
This
election is a referendum on the founding fathers and the genius of their
creation….the Constitution. Do we accept
it as valid, or do we reject it outright.
A vote for Obama is a vote to simply relegate the Constitution to the
Smithsonian.
This
election is about the People we will be.
