Just the beginning

It's funny how one sentence can resonate so strongly within someone.  One idea can take someones passion and give it a voice.  I would just like to start out by thanking a good friend of mine for giving me the idea to put my rantings on a page.

We live in an incredibly heated and ineffective political climate.  It has been pointed out to me before that our government has always been this way and it is painful for me to watch politicians try to drown one another in failure for their own gain.  And what is even more painful is the toll it takes on my generation.  No jobs, no health care, no hope for recovery, no hope for a better life...it seems like we are walking forward into a darker world then the one we left and that is frightening.  There was once a time where parents could sit back and say 'At least my kids will be better off than I am' however that simply is not the case today!

And all of this stems from a political system where the people who know what they are doing are trying to grab power from those who seem to be squandering the gift that history has given them.  Politics today is about trying to force the country to believe the other guy is responsible for everything that has gone wrong instead of trying to step forward and fix it.  The Obama Administration is doing their best to change things however they seem to forget how haggling works.  You ask for everything you want and more, the other guy demands everything they want and more and you argue down to somewhere in the middle.  Instead, the Administration argues for exactly what they want or a little less and they end up losing footing and compromising on thing that their constituents refuse to agree is acceptable.

It's a sad state of affairs and I intend on doing my best to speak out about what is going on that is making things worse, what is being done to make things better and to highlight those who deserve praise or deserve to lose their jobs.

As citizens we are charged by our founding fathers to learn the truth and hold those in power to their word.  As patriots we are charged to eject politicians who go back on their word and find people who will do what they promised.  As human beings we are charged to do what we can for our fellow man.  This is a fatwa, a mandate that we can ignore or a banner we can wave in the hopes of a new day.

And most importantly, this is a war against those who would distort the truth and instead give light to deceptions.
