The How the Why the What You Can Do

Its become very easy to play the blame game, throw out solutions to each and every problem we face, but to actually make change, turn things around and raise common sense from the grave in which it resides, I need to point out a few things I have observed.

The how – how have we fallen so far, so fast?  By allowing a small select few make choices for us without paying attention until after the law, ordnance, rule, tax has been put in to effect.

The why – because it’s easy, easy to let others decide for us, whether we like it or not unless it immediately has an effect on us, most people dont pay attention and if they do, what do they do? Not a lot, maybe write a letter or two, most likely twitter or facebook, talk a little at work, or play

Explanations…. Reasons

So why change careers or pursue a career as a political consultant or advisor??  I feel most people want to make a difference in the world, no matter who or where we are….  I have always tired to have a positive impact on those around me, but I went and saw the movie Lone Survivor opening night, (which by the way was excellent)… however when leaving the theater I could only think of two things.

One, what wonderful, heroic, inspirational men whom gave their lives, the ultimate sacrifice for their nation, their brothers, their families.

And then two…. a righteous indignation and anger welled up as I thought of those very men, their surviving families and the emotional, spiritual and financial struggles that they must have gone and may currently be going thru… Meanwhile the pompous out of touch politicians who sit on their asses in Washington, as well as their home states, just CUT, CUT Survivor benefits, retiree benefits.

So comparison for you to sit back and think about this

A US senator earns $174,000 per year to do what you ask:  negotiate and broker deals that will get them re-elected so that they can then turn around and earn a pension once they retire from the Senate, ( which usually being able to run for senator means you have a nice back up job where you earn a nice salary or maybe have been born to a family of privilege that has helped pay the way to your elected status)  Now there are exceptions to a few elected officials who have gotten to where they are by hard ethical moral work. But I would just note, they are being wined, dined, dressed, primped and propped before us to create a career out of making decisions for you the tax payer.

In comparison a Navy Seal salary varies based on time, bonuses and other issues, however most will never see $174,000 a year and even if they did, those salaries and benefits are threatened all the time by the smug self satisfied politician who most likely would be unable to jog even a mile with these heroes.  See they don’t have desk jobs, they have to stay in peak physical, mental condition are constantly training, being sent away from their families, risking their lives to save ours.

So you ask why I feel the need to clean out the White House, to elect people who don’t look at politics as a career choice, but as a duty to the American people, where they can go and make decisions that are best for their constituents and for the nation, not whats best for their party rivalry… the big college game of Republican vs Democrat that keeps the people pitted against each other while the very people who encourage this, work behind closed doors as one, united in the destruction of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The overbearing, overreaching creeping laws passed each year slowly erode all of the very things our nation were founded on.

I change career focus not for me, but for my nation, my fellow citizens and for the very foundation of what this great Nation was founded on.  We risk all if we continue to let these blowhards decide how we are to live.  There is no future in large government, take a look at Detroit, California any city where government has grown to gargantuan size and see where that has gotten them.  Crime, poverty, bankruptcy…. the list goes on and on so why should we let them continue on their socialist communist pathway?  Its time the patriots re-claim the common sense that has somewhere lost its way.
