The problem with people, and not just when it comes to politics, is that we all settle. I am guilty of it too.
Never again will I go against my principles in an election. No more “anybody but (insert name here)” voting. We should all follow this rule.
During the Republican primaries, a lot of my friends and even some self-proclaimed Conservatives in talk radio did not want Mitt Romney to be nominated. We let the mainstream media dictate the primary before it even started; and worse than that, some of us went against our principles thinking he had the “best shot.” Right-wing radio hosts and TV commentators were as harsh on Romney as Obama was, then they turned around and voted for him. I did too.
I don’t want this to be another article added to the ‘Why We Lost’ category, so lets focus on something else. Yes, it’s true what liberals are saying: “these are changing times.” Times are changing because the right has no real leadership and nobody with enough balls to speak the truth and at the same time confront the mainstream media. There are some who come close; but when push comes to shove, folks tend to get a little timid. On top of that, there is NO conservative or libertarian who will challenge the Republican establishment. Establishment politicians on both sides of the aisle want to ensure that power is shared and, at the same time, make sure all threats to their power-sharing agenda are neutralized. They do that with taking away special positions within government or threatening not to support reelection campaigns.
I can go on and on with reasons why we need to clean house in the Republican party…or really look at a stronger alternative to the party. New faces in the political arena with a unified and clear message, along with bold promises of term limits, a balanced budget amendment, and an efficient government, would drum up a large swell of support. On the voting front, we need to be strong and unified as well. Ignoring the mainstream media’s propaganda, swallowing our pride when it comes to treating the two-party system as if it’s a sports rivalry, and rewriting a whole new political platform from the bottom up would be a great start. Some people might like the Republican platform; but since the party is filled with a bunch of capitulating poor excuses for a representative, it would take a mighty long time to replace these political hacks.
In other words, we NEED A POLITICAL REVOLUTION. Let’s stop being lazy. Lets stop conforming to the status quo. Lets save our children’s future and clean house. Lets share some ideas of how we can come together to reform government. There’s so much wrong with government right now, and a lot of work needs to be done to save our republic and our Constitution.
I am unsure of the reaction this will get, but I will be good on my word. I will try my hardest to change the status quo. You don’t have to join me; but if more people did, no more progressive liberals and Republicans will be threatening our future anymore.

You are absolutely right. My research shows so much corruption that it is impossible to continue as-is. If seventy percent of our ruling body is Marxist/Socialist, it is hard to see how that can be remedied.But, it MUST be.
RINOs try to justify their betrayals with, “I was only doing it to get elected.” That’s the peacetime equivalent of, “I was only following orders.” This Nuremberg Defense of deflecting responsibility has long been rejected when moral choices are available. Good men who refuse to fight evil become evil. Good men who put the expediency of winning elections over doing what is right also become evil. The extent of their evil is proportional to the degree their (in)actions degrade the exercise of our God-given unalienable rights. Get the picture? It must be the right way or the highway.
Unfortunately, we are to the point where political parties are threatening our nation as our Founding Fathers feared. Parties are being co-opted by oligarch lackeys and must be purged or avoided as necessary. In the meantime, all we need to know is whether a candidate’s platform and performance support God-given unalienable rights, the U.S. Constitution, Christendom, and Western civilization. It’s always been principle over party…or gang.

That would be logic and law derived by man from a mythological imaginary creature that we are all to blindly follow? The problem is that there are rational minds out there that don’t think that the imagination is a good place to start looking for rational answers. I figure if we can get rid of all the rational minds then there will be no more obstacles for the religious party to deal with and all will be wonderful.
@ ErnestHuber , so , your saying that , anybody and everybody who is voted in , becomes evil . So why should we elect you then ?
I agree we need to change ALL officials, local, state and federal. However, the people have trusted candidates many. many. many times and ended up skewed each time. I think most new comers truly have great intentions and could make the difference, however, once they are in office they change. The join the ranks of the corrupt and the people are left with nothing, but more lies and rights taken away. Americans are not stupid or lazy. We are fed up with the crap that is being forced on us and anyone that can not see this is reaching a boiling point is blind or to self impressed to worry. Our Founding Fathers faught for this great nation with everything they had. We had excellent examples of back bone and what it took to establish this great nation. Our first notable example was that they were successful with God was their leader, their love and faith in HIM put them on the winning side. HE did not fail them and HE will not fail us. Anyone that can show God is their guide will win the backing of the America people.
You gotta be kidding me!!!
@ Karol424 , the last time I checked , the Creator was on everybody’s side , unless you were evil . But , then again , if you ask for forgiveness , he let’s you back in his side . But , with that said . The Left , or the Right , and even the Center , are in their side . So , what are you really saying ?
I propose two new rules of law. I think we should outlaw any laws or actions derived from imaginary fictional mythological entities or deities. That law should force everyone to take action and responsibility for their person and their own lives keeping their noses out of other peoples business.
The rules would be:
1. “If YOU did it YOU will pay the consequences for it” and
2. “There is no fictional entity or other person responsible for your actions or your life.”
What can one say to one that has all the answers?
@ Larry , what can one say to one that has all the answers ? Well , how about shut up ?
Anybody who thinks that there isn’t no God , then how did you become to being ? How do you know right from wrong ? And , we all know that it’s one’s self who takes responsibility of ourselves . Not the government . And if you blame on some one , or some thing , isn’t that being a liar ? Ask LIAR Reid , and well , any Liberal for that matter .
Maybe you won’t be so hard on yourself after reading the following.
The United States Constitution specifically states that the President and Vice President are elected by the Electoral College. This means that the popular vote does not count in the election of individuals to these two offices, which means that your vote doesn’t count anyway. Remember the Bush/Gore election? Bush got the Electoral College vote and Gore got the popular vote. Do you remember who won? No! it is a myth that the Electoral College must vote in accordance with he popular vote.
Americans are completely stupid when it comes to politics and finance that is why everyone is in debt and the Communist are taking over the Nation. Slowly they are taking over the Country for the United Nations. Check out the Department of Justice web site and note that the Red, White and Blue has been removed and replaced with Black (Islamic Flag?) Note the quotes on the flag or do a web search and you will find it refers to International Law.
Don’t Christians remember the Bible where it talks about the anti-Christ in the end times in Revelations. I believe that is what is going on right now. They need to enslave America for the anti-Chirst to rule and enslave the world. He can’t rule while America is a free country because America will stand in his way. Our hope is in God and only God. America has a spiritual problem. Only a spiritual solution will help us. Only God can help us.
@ AVATAR OF CHRISTIAN……WE NEED HIS HELP….BUT WILL HE????…..AFTER ALL….WE HAVE TURNED OUR BACKS ON HIM LATELY…..
Ahhh…the Republic that guarantees the right of individual freedoms under protection of our laws and our Constitution is what created the greatest nation on earth. You hope to disassemble it for Democracy of majority socialist mob rule? Sure why not…count me in. Do I get an obott badge?
Our Founding Fathers started a revolution – and it involved secession from the tyranny of the central government, King George’s monarchy. I wonder if we modern Americans, soft in our diminishing and unpaid-for liberties, have the guts to do what our forefathers did…
That’s not a rhetorical question. Folks, ask yourselves: Do WE have what it takes to revolt? Because revolution involves REJECTING and DISCARDING the current government. That’s a tough call – even a treasonous one, as each and every one of our Founding Fathers knew when they signed the Declaration of Independence. What is worth more – our liberty, or the soft life under the tightening yoke of a tyrannical government OUT OF OUR CONTROL???
How long are people going to take this crap that Obama and his mob are doing? He does not care about this country, he hates the American people and America and he is the biggest crook there ever was in our government.
I can’t believe how people actually listen to him and trust him knowing what he is doing to this country and our rights and the Constitution of the United States. Obama has paid a million plus to seal up his records but all of his college was paid for by him being a student from a foreign country and they paid for the top of the line schools for him to go to. If he qualified for grants as a student from another country how the hell is he able to be president of this great country.
When are people going to get the balls and stand up and fight for our country and fight him and get his ass out of the White Hosue along with his ape.I love my country, I love my freedoms but I hate what my government has become and it is full of liars, crooks, communists pigs and an illegal president with an ape for a wife.
YES, WE DO NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE…..STARTING WITH THE WHITE HOUSE…..AND THEN ON DOWN…BIDEN…PELOSI….PANETTA….REID…ETC…ETC…ETC…
BUT I ASK YOU WHY WE NEED CHANGE???…..AS YOU AND OBAMA AND HIS CRONIES ARE DEMANDING…..WE HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 200 YEARS NOW…..AND HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD…..UP UNTIL 4 YEARS AGO…..WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE COUNTRY THAT OTHERS LOOKED TO, WHEN IN NEED…..AND WE CAME THROUGH FOR THEM……ALWAYS THE BEST CREDIT RATING, UNTIL NOW……WITH OBAMA SINKING US LOWER AND LOWER IN THE FINANCIAL END OF THINGS…….YES LET’S CLEAN HOUSE….AND GO BACK TO THE WAY IT HAS BEEN, WHEN WE WERE THE BEST……WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE REAGAN, TRUMAN, AND KENNEDY…..THEY ARE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE…WE JUST NEED TO HAVE THEM STEP FORWARD……
