The Real Issue

The Presidential Election is heating up as we get closer to January 20, 2009, the day the Bush Administration ends. I'm disappointed in what the top-tier candidates are promising, or lack thereof. The candidates who have been telling the truth such as Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, and Ron Paul, are viewed as nonentities by the media. Obviously, voting for any of the three would be a vote in vain.

The candidates are taking jabs at each other, accusing others of indulging with drugs in the past, pointing the finger at who is going to raise taxes. What the candidates don't realize is that that's not the real issue. I have never heard a top-tier candidate promise, "If you vote for me, we will fix the government. We will stop criminals from walking the streets. We will bring our soldiers home. We will get rid of this debt. We will stop global warming. We will stop injustices in the judicial systems."

As far as I'm concerned, the Bush Administration is illegal. They wrongfully entered the White House and have committed numerous crimes since them. Bush started a War that makes no sense. Thousands and thousands of Americans have died under this Administration. The price of everything is getting higher. Our children are shooting up their schools. Teenage girls are getting pregnant. We are torturing people in Guantanamo Bay.

Wonder why these aren't the questions asked as debates? Instead, questions have been asked such as, "Have you ever seen a UFO?" or, "Hillary, which do you prefer, diamonds or pearls?" Nobody is talking about the real issue. I didn't come to post to complain about the candidates. If America wants a change, it needs to come from the bottom up.

I am not going to lose my country. I will die fighting for this country. I'm not all 50 Cent with the mentality of "get rich or die trying." If there will be a solution, it will probably be with casualties. You've got to come down hard with the iron fist on his criminals. I'm willing to be that casualty. For our children. For my generation. For my country.

Today, many are taught that the Founding Fathers had the idea of confidence when they were writing the Constitution. However, the Fathers knew in their bones that a despot could arrive in America and end their freedom. Because many of the Fathers or their parents had to flee a country, they wanted to create a nation in which people were allowed to speak their mind without protest or censure. Now, the manumission of America is on the verge of being lost. It's time to take America back.

And care about the real issue.
