Our country hasn't really overcome racism. Why? We still refer to skin color as means of distinction. If we continue to refer to black, yellow, red, white, etc. when discussing issues we are racists. A person is a person regardless of race or creed.
If someone is killed does it matter what race they are? No. Murder is not acceptable regardless of race.
The media and politicians need to change. They should not be flaming the fire with racism and bigotry. The media is struggling to remain relevant in the ever changing information age. The media has to make ratings and attract views which provides income via commercials. Just sitting down and listening to the various news outlets during the week and on a Sunday is indicative of the division within our society, media and elected officials.
Politicians are fighting to keep their jobs and appeal to all views. The politicians have various reasons for wanting to be reelected. It is a shame that the country isn't the priority. The electorate has to become smarter, proactive and one that cares about our country's future.
The media has caused religion to become part of the media by focusing on the worst of different religions. It isn't the religion that is at fault; it is the person.
One can elaborate, but it is really respect that is at issue. We have to respect each other.

The Decline of America
It is humorous to contemplate why America is in decline, because it isn't caused by the Government, it is caused by the people. We the people are the problem, we choose who represents us in the primaries and elections. We should make them uphold and respect the law as it was and as it is written when this great country was formed.
hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
How many people have read this document the constitution? It is the manual or instructions that shows us how to operate the government. Sadly, we all want to take the short cuts and trust someone else to tell us how it works. I guess we want the book, "The Constitution for Dummies." We will buy this book and never read it and our government will not change.
Today, we want to blame everyone but ourselves for the circumstances that have put our country where it is economically, politically and morally. We no longer want to work, we only expect that we are owed. Look at our country as a whole and and you will have your answer.

What is sad to me is that we need to recognize what the Laws of Nature and Nature's God are, and when we as a country fail to do that we will fail just as the Roman Empire did. Sadly the similarities are the same for this great country and that of the Roman Empire. When the moral course of the country is lost and that compass no longer functions we begin the decline.
The people define the course of America, and the people can correct that course only if the choose to do it. If the real Americans don't speak nothing will change.
If we don't read the manual, understand our rights, understand that the government is subservient to the people, and that the Constitution must be upheld, we will only be led down the path of failure.

The New Revolution
I graduated high school in 1979 and it is our generation that has slowly shaped the country we come to live in today. I am sad at what I see. I don't see a country that will offer the diversity of opportunity to my son and his family. I don't see a country that represents the freedom that our forefathers fought to have and give to future generations. I don't see a government of the people, for the people, by people... I don't see a country that tolerates religious freedom and expression of those beliefs. I don't see a country that seemingly doesn't exemplify life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The American people have slowly given up the ideals of democracy, capitalism and freedom to become ensnared in a trap that some how claims we are entitled. The only thing we are entitled to is our own mistakes and the consequences of those choices.
In the last 20 years our country has really changed. Is it for the better or the worse?
Welcome to the revolution and most of us don't realize that it is happening.

We are not alone
1984, Brave New World, Watergate, wire taps, phone taps, opening our mail, drones, street cameras, cookies, tracking, Facebook, twitter, GPS, NSAand black boxes.
Someone, some government or even a friend knows where, what and possibly why you are doing something.
Welcome to civilization and computers.
We are becoming a society that will soon not have books, records, handwritten letters, or privacy.
Just look and see the trail that you leave everyday offline or online.

Change
Change.
Isn't there something we would like to CHANGE in ourselves or others. Change...what a great word, but isn't it difficult to implement.
I look back at the election and I recognize one thing. Conservative talk radio needs to change. The Republican party needs to change. Voters need to change in order to bring about change.
If you have a routine in place, where you get your hair cut, where you buy your groceries, or even your coffee; you are comfortable. Being comfortable is hard to change.
Why do we need to see change? Change is that mutation that pushes us to the next level. Change is something that results in making something work different or even better.
If the country is going to change and take a different path a new message and an image has to be constructed. This is true with everything. If you are starting a business you have to have an image, a message, and you have to make to it work.
Anything we try to change has to succeed on all levels.
Change = goal + image + message
If you want to lose weight it involves change.
If you want to quit smoking you have to change.
If you want to improve your life you have to change.
Change.

Conservative Radio Must Endorse Romney
Mark Levin doesn't endorse Mitt Romney, he is saying "Don't vote for Obama." It is a mistake to not endorse Romney. Why? It means you don't support him, and if you don't support him why should your listeners support him. What does it mean not to support Romney? It means you aren't going to vote for him. Bill Clinton endorsed and spoke on Obama's behalf, why can't conservative radio talk hosts.
Why should I support Mark Levin's platform of not voting for Obama? Because that isn't a reason. You can't win an Election with, "Don't vote for Obama, he will take us to the point of no return." Wow that is a real reason to vote for Romney. Obama will increase the debt, don't vote for him. Vote for the guy I don't endorse. Obama is going to make our country a socialist country, don't vote for him. Vote for the guy I don't endorse. This is a real winning strategy for conservative radio when they don't even endorse the best candidate running for President. We can't grab Reagan DNA and clone him for this election. Endorse Romney and lead him to victory with your support.
The last few days we have been hearing about the leaked video of Romney's, and the liberal media is having a field day. I think it is the best thing to happen to Romney. It was simple, it was blunt, and it demonstrated that Romney has an opinion.
The part of the video that talks about the 47% is one of the best, because he talks about his campaign having to focus on the 53%. What is wrong with that? Romney finally said something that has substance.
What has happened to Ryan during this time? This video has muted him.
Back to Romney. This video has set the ground work for Romney to come out with his economic plan, his strategy for creating 12 million jobs, and his plan for reducing the budget deficit. He has to take opportunity of this free press and define himself as a Candidate and his plan for the country. I want specifics not a speech Obama could make, any candidate could make or even one that I could make. Romney needs to build traction by showing us he has the courage to speak the who, what, where, when, how and why of his plan. He has to get to the details.
Mark Levin endorse Romney. Mitt Romney listen to Mark Levin and let us know you have details not just bullet points. Romney be a man, show us your vision and we will vote for you. Mark Levin endorse Romney and get him votes.

Defining America
Once again an election for the leadership of our country will be determined by the choice of words used and their perceived meaning. Can we really trust what we are hearing, being told, or viewing in a commercial?
I listen to conservative radio and get tired of the diatribe or the method of spreading the message. I listen to the liberal news and radio shows and get tired of their diatribe and methods as well.
I guess politics is learning and understanding. You can't take a candidate's view, presentation, or speech for the reality of the issues. You have to discover them for yourself and then make a decision.
Knowing what the country needs starts with your state elected officials who represent you on the grassroots level. You have to have a presence on that level and be involved. Your federally elected officials are next- the Congressman. You really need to know what type of person they are, what their ideals are and what, if anything, they will really do when they get to Washington. The President has power, but he is controlled by the House and Senate.
Unfortunately today we have a shambles on our hands. I don't think neither party really represents the people. Sadly, I don't think America is once what it was either. The dysfunctional Congress and Executive branch really represents the American Public. Yes, I just said that Government doesn't represent the people, but in fact I think it does.
We have been polarized since this Depression has started and it has changed how our government works. Our government works by getting re-elected and not acting on the best interest of the country.
This election, of all offices, will be determined by which set of values shows up at the polls. They will determine the course.
Government is only as good as the vision of those who run, manipulate and enact change. Are you ready?
