Has America had enough? Is it time for change in our government and political parties? The Democratic Party is changing America into another form of Communism such as Socialism. The GOP Republican Party is becoming obfuscated on identity and purpose. So what is the best choice for America? What does America and its’ constituents want or desire? Do Americans still want freedoms as guaranteed by the foundational documents of America? Does America still want family values and morals? If we answer yes to these questions, can the political parties now extant provide these basic necessities to remain a free and independent democracy? The answer to that is no! No, these parties are basically the same in practice and the lines between them is merging daily.
So, what is the answer? What does the Constitution say? What does the Declaration of Independence say? The later document sets the tone for the current political parties and the current governments disobliges. There comes a time for change, and if the political parties can no longer listen to “We the People” then it is time to implement the following taken from the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”
The time has now come to alter and or abolish the current political parties as they no longer serve their constituents and the government of these United States of America. This form of government now instituted at the inauguration of President Obama has become destructive to these ends as framed in the Declaration and the Constitution. The Constitution is not a document that was implemented to be abolished or open to radical interpretation according to any person or party ideology. “When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The changes that need attention are not by any means trivial or light. The safety and well being of true Americans are now in question. The financial security, prosperity and free market enterprise are becoming past tense. When life savings can be taken away from workers and investors, and when a company/government no longer wants to pay them (the workers) their hard earned benefits, which they legitimately earned, the financial security no longer exists. When a government declares war on successful financially responsible people, they lose their safety and future security.
When the government and political parties no longer derive their power from the consent of the governed, and when they become tyrants along the same line as/of the King of England...! A classic example can be seen in the escalating taxes, monetary mismanagement, and budget deficits that cannot be understood or even comprehended, it is time for the people to take the power away from these despots, these political hacks that only seek their own welfare at the expense of the people. The time has come to institute a new party of the people, by the people and for the people. This party must be constituted of dedicated conservative men and women having the welfare of this country and its people as their primary focus and agenda. The leadership must be above reproach with a high moral compass. The GOP (quasi) was supposed to be the party of family values, morals; however, they have fallen from their lofty status and have become the party of failure along these lines. People putting themselves forward in the GOP are tainted by their adulterous indiscretions and weaknesses of the flesh. The leading candidates for the next presidential race should not even be spouting their agenda on any media outreach or forum.
Let me make myself perfectly clear on this because the people in contention for the next presidential race should not even be seriously considered. People like the adulterous Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Sarah Palin, et al must be rejected as viable candidates because of their willful indiscretions. If America elects these kinds of people to any office anywhere, they are taking a step backwards and the morals of America will decline even further. Can anyone of a high moral character look up to these kinds of people for an example of what one should become or be? Absolutely not! It is time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country. Oh, do you think I have become too pontificating and condescending with these requirements for elective office? Yes, all have sinned and fallen short, and there is forgiveness for sins, and the people who commit sin deserve another opportunity to make good. However, there are so many people just like King David that must have the sin and or confession of such dug out of them! They will not disclose their sins willingly, but, they have to be caught red handed and exposed in order to stop or even confess their trysts. Yes, people can repent! Yes people can pay for their sins and crimes, as this happens all the time. But, should some of these kinds of people be considered for the office of the President of the United States of America? Remember Bill Clinton? Now is that a good example for children to follow? Remember Spitzer, Vitter, Ensign, Sanford, Craig et al, to name a few? I rest my case. There will be more on this!
