The election results are in. There are still votes to be counted and races to be decided, but maybe now is a time to step back, take a deep breath, distance ourselves from the white-hot rhetoric of campaigning and take a look at what has been presented to us. We are at a very important crossroads here in the good old USA.
Take a look at the passion of a Tea Partier, the cool logic and wisdom of a Thomas Sowell, a sobering video from Citizens Against Government Waste and an inspirational acceptance speech by a person who is helping to change the face of the Republican Party, Marco Rubio.
And my other personal favorite Lt. Col. Allen West did win in Florida. He understands the Constitution when it says that the government should "promote the general welfare" not "provide welfare". Therein lies one of the fundamental differences we face today. Listen to this man and tell me you would not line-up beside him or follow him into battle.
GOD BLESS THIS MAN AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
Since it appears to be such a major issue, check the tape of West's acceptance speech as the camera pans the crowd around the 7:45 mark. Check out the racial composition of the crowd and then look again at Allen West. West is a product of the Tea Party. Then tell me if the truth fed to you by some of these knuckleheads in the media isn't just some sort of artifice to divide people rather than bring them together. Oh, and please, just one of you haters from the left please refer to Lt. Col. Allen West as an Uncle Tom or an Oreo. And please do it to his face. And please, Oh God, please let me be there to see it.
Anyway, roll the tapes. Somewhere down the line of this post, I do believe you will be looking at the next President of the United States. God willing, sooner rather than later.
It may have helped to have some of this information before voting but I was a little bit distracted by the Giants recently.
WOW!! THESE PEOPLE SEEM MORE CONCERNED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY THAN A DANGER TO IT.

Political correctness dominates America today and we have lost many of the principles that this nation was founded on. If the pilgrims were still alive today, they would be trying to run away from America.
One year, in school we recited this version. For what reason, I don't recall. So I do know the words to this verse by heart. You probably could not recite this version...in a public school today. And there is something fundamentally wrong with that.
And please don't start any of that "I don't see any people of color in that video" nonsense. To that I can only ask one question.
"WELL, WHY NOT?"
A similar variation of the same question crossed my mind around the 7:50 mark of the Allen West acceptance speech video. Some things need to change. Very soon.
I'll let Thomas Sowell explain one of the other "big issues" that some of the "enlightened" ones pretend they understand better than the rest of us.
They spent a good part of the last week or so trying to catch Christine O' Donnell in a Palin-like "gotcha" moment that backfired. It simply displayed either their ignorance of the Constitution or their utter contempt for same, take your pick.

Forgetting the Constitution
The assurance that “separation of church and state” is in the Constitution shows our elites’ ignorance.
Politics is not the only place where some pretty brassy statements have been made and repeated so often that some people have accepted these brassy statements as being as good as gold.
One of the brassiest of the brass oldies is the notion that the Constitution creates a “wall of separation” between church and state. This false notion has been so widely accepted that people who tell the truth get laughed at and mocked.
A recent New York Times piece said that it was “a flub of the first order” when Christine O’Donnell, Republican candidate for senator in Delaware, asked a law school audience, “Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?” According to the New York Times, “The question draw gasps and laughter” from this audience of professors and law students who are elites-in-waiting.
The New York Times writer joined in the mocking response to Ms. O’Donnell’s question, though admitting in passing that “in the strictest sense” the “actual words ‘separation of church and state’ do not appear in the text of the Constitution.” Either the separation of church and state is there or it is not there. It is not a question of some “strictest” technicality.
The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States begins, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution about a “wall of separation” between church and state, either directly or indirectly.
For more than a century, no one thought that the First Amendment meant that religious symbols were forbidden on government property. Prayers were offered in Congress and in the Supreme Court. Chaplains served in the military and presidents took their oath of office on the Bible.
But, in our own times, judges have latched onto Jefferson’s phrase and run with it. It has been repeated so often in their decisions that it has become one of the brassiest of the brass oldies that get confused with golden oldies.
As fundamentally important as the First Amendment is, what is even more important is the question whether judges are to take it upon themselves to “interpret” the law to mean whatever they want it to mean, rather than what it plainly says.
This is part of a larger question, as to whether this country is to be a self-governing nation, controlled by “we the people,” as the Constitution put it, or whether arrogant elites shall take it upon themselves to find ways to impose what they want on the rest of us, by circumventing the Constitution.
Judges circumvent the Constitution by reading their own meaning into its words, regardless of how plain and unequivocal its words are.
The Constitution cannot protect us and our freedoms as a self-governing people unless we protect the Constitution. That means zero tolerance at election time for people who circumvent the letter and the spirit of the Constitution. Freedom is too precious to give it up in exchange for brassy words from arrogant elites.
NOW THAT'S DANGEROUS. WE HAVE FOLKS IN THE HIGHEST POSITIONS OF POWER IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR DERISIVE OF THE CONSTITUTION.
This is the looming danger we face as a nation and all these folks that seek to pit one group against another are diverting our attention from a problem that will fundamentally change our country and make our way of life and our standard of living unrecognizable and unreachable for future generations.
from Citizens Against Government Waste:
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. - Proverbs 22:7
And now, since it is becoming increasingly apparent that the whole "Hope & Change 1.0" thing was nothing more than a pile of rhetoric, I give you some real hope for some real change looming on the horizon.
