I am about to show my ignorance…again. But this time it is in the field of politics. I learned what I am about to share only minutes ago from a friend who don’t even live in this country. It is sad when the candidates with the most money are the only ones you hear from. That right off the bat seems to go against the supposed good old American way of equality. Money is all that matters in the scheme that our system has laid out. There is an old saying that money talks and B.S. walks. I think maybe we had that wrong, it’s the B.S. that is talking cause they got the money to build a platform from which to talk. I think the democratic and republican parties are simply politically incestuous and have no plan of having a productive relationship with anybody outside their group. Well they learned that from the so called American church. (Sorry I digress). I have just read the beliefs of a third candidate that is so much closer to what I believe than either of the two “major” candidates. I am sad to report that before this morning I had never heard of this man and his campaign. Unless he is like most other politicians and intends to just put it to us after he’s elected, he is at least saying some credible things on all the major issues facing America today. I am stepping out of the political boat of traditionalism and voting what’s right even if, (God forbid), it cost me something. While I’m at it I think I’ll just go ahead and jump out of the traditional boat of religion while I’m able. It is from our platform of “religion” that we have displayed this false path for our government to follow. Every problem in our country is simply a magnification of the problems of the church. We have been the leaders of our country and look where we’ve led. All along the Spirit of God has been crying out for His rightful position to “draw” all men to Christ but we over ride Him and take our leadership positions. We have led the church and now the nation down a path of economics, false liberties, and entitlements that cannot sustain us. Both of the ‘major” candidates are talking change but offering none. I am suggesting that we, blood bought born again children of God, followers of Christ be led to the right man for the job. Remember what that job is? Being the human head of our government and protector of the rights and privileges afforded us as Americans. I don’t know what religious affiliation the candidate I am voting for has, if any. But I am voting for what I am convinced will be best for our country and I believe this candidate will put more government back where it belongs…in the hands of the people. And it is “us” that is ultimately responsible for seeing that things are changed. Question is do we really want to assume our responsibilities or do we want to keep pawning it off on our government. We have in the past voted on people who professed to be with “us” and left “us” hanging. Let’s return the favor and leave them hanging, maybe it’s their turn to get out and look for jobs, oh wait I forget they get paid well the rest of their lives for screwing us for just a short while. Talk about a corporate golden parachute. Well enough of that. By the way I’m voting the Barr & Root ticket in 08′. Take a look for yourself at the web site of Bob Barr, you decide.
