Awaking the Giant

What seems apparent is that the American people want something better than what has historically been available to them in politics. Washington is viewed by most as being broken, and for a long time. There is little doubt that in 2008, voters wanted and voted for change. Change was so badly sought after that we may have over reached. What resulted? We elected the most inexperienced person ever to the highest office and allowed two of the most liberal socialist leaning individuals ever to lead the House and Senate.


With this trio in office for a year now, it appears the liberals have been exposed for what they really are and the American people are not having any of it. Socialism is not what the American people want and now that they have had a taste of it, they are retracting from it in droves. Once the people became fully aware of just how irresponsible the liberal agenda really is, the majority of hard working Americans have rejected their policy’s. The health care issue and “cap and trade” are but two examples of how they think the country should be governed. Imagine the same philosophy in other areas. They want the government to control, your doctor, what type of car you drive, how much electricity you use.


Growing the government and taking control of entire industries using tax dollars to fund the programs is a recipe for the devastations of the American economy. It is not the government that through capital risk management and innovation grew the largest economy ever to exist. It is not government that will bring us through this. It is the American people who start and run private companies that will provide the jobs and economic stimulus necessary to pull us up from the ashes of economic ruin.


Class warfare had been the weapon used to polarize the public and in 2008, it worked. We are one nation under God and all opportunities should be available to all who are willing to do what is necessary to succeed without excessive government intervention or intrusion. We are a government of the people. We are not people for the government.


America needs to keep sending the message. We must quit voting for the same folks who put us in the position we are in economically. Vote for something different. What do you have to lose?

The whole of the American People are the Giant being awakened.
