Battle of ideologies

Power, power everywhere—power, power; who really cares? It’s quite obvious the stakes are so very high and political parties stop at nothing short of desperate manipulation to win that almighty power for the political candidate. This power is to be greedily grasped no matter what the cost—cherish that power—hoard it. The political office holder is in control of that power and becomes a member of the “political elite.” Well, enough is enough.

This year’s mid-term elections are truly a battle of ideologies that have been culminating for decades—do we want to be a socialist nation or a capitalist nation? Do we believe in personal responsibility and that we earn our way to prosperity or do we believe it’s quite acceptable to sit on our duffs and let Uncle Sam provide all we need to sustain ourselves because, after all, “you’re entitled to it”? Do we still believe moral values and principles exist and understand the differences between right and wrong or are we footloose and carefree and so feckless that we must be instructed on every facet of how to live our lives? Do we believe in transformation or restoration of America? Many misquote our government as a Democracy where majority rules. We are forever a Republic and our Constitution is the rule of law.

I’ve made my choice and will cast my vote.  I will make Nov. 2 “Freedom Day” and my vote will shout “take it back for the little guy.”  How about you?
