great blog btw

How are you all? I am here to inform you of a insipiring video a colleague of mine has created to inspire more people to vote. I believe the issue is important, so I would like to share this video with you today.

Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4kg514DcTA

Tell me what you think!

I understand the cover was meant to poke fun at the portrayal of the Obamas by the media, but I think it does more harm than good.

One fateful day, my uncle landed his Phantom on the deck of his carrier, walked onto the bridge and gave the Skipper his wings. Why? Because of his efficient flying and targeting skills, he was ordered to drop remaining bombs onto civilian locations to “destroy the spirit of the people to support the war.” That was the last mission my uncle flew, allbeit successfully.

He suffers horrible flashbacks, and he still tears up, when he recalls seeing the faces of innocent people (men, women, and children) waving in support of the U.S., as he let his payload go. So, was the order righteous, or was my uncle’s decision? Who, in that situation, was more honorable, I ask you, my uncle for walking away, or the Generals in the Pentagon who gave the order to kill civilians? My uncle had a full academic scholarship to Harvard, before the Vietnam war. He joined the Air Force, voluntarily, so he could be a pilot, because he didn’t want to get drafted into the Army to die, needlessly.

John McCain is no genius. He has only graduated from the Naval Academy. He is a brainwashed military goon. John McCain is a fearful tool of the system that created his suffering. He wants more war and more innocent men to die. (see: Freud’s; “Thanatos”.) He wants less harmony and brotherhood in the world. He IS the industrial-military complex that Eisenhower warned us about! He is NO war-hero, he is a war-monger. A real hero fights actual evil only when provoked to reestablish peace. McCain is just an unfortunate P.O.W., with unfortunate policy. God bless him for his service and sacrifice. But, I will not support his run for CEO. He is best suited to remain being a senator from Arizona.

As an Independent and former Republican, I appeal to you all; Do not blindly support this Party nominee. Find your soul and voice and WRITE IN Ron Paul for President of the United States. Our National Security and Constitution demand it.

-[ To: John McCain; Stop your Machiavellian rhetoric, intelligent people see through it. You are an Eisenhower want-to-be (see: Freud’s “Libido”). Spare us your neuroses, and choose Ron Paul as your vice-president. God will honor you for your insight.]-

Thank you, Ron Paul for giving us the “Straight talk” about “Change”.

We the people have abdicated our responsibility to that self-serving, ill advised, and both ethically and morally corrupt body. Since the beginning, we grew accustomed and content with just sending Richard, Bill, or George, out to the House, the Senate, and/or that other House, blindly trusting them to do their very best to serve ours, and/or our country’s interests, as a whole and not just service the special interests that help re-elect them to that grand country club they now belong. Because that’s what the political body of our creation has become, a very exclusive, privileged club, where the needs of our nation now take second, third, fifth, or even last place, behind the needs of that political body to get re-elected, and to both better and augment their club’s perks and benefits.

Our founders warned us; “eternal vigilance” they told us we’d need. We the people failed in our duty to keep an eye on the people we sent away to serve us. In the end, they wound up serving themselves. To phrase it in words I’d heard long ago but, until recently, had not been able to understand: “Now it’s a monster, and will not obey!”

When this grand new republic’s experiment got started, I believe the people serving us then earned their living through work and business they did outside and away from their government post. Serving our country’s needs back then truly was a duty for those who served at the time, that honor not yet the “career” it has since become.

When will the bright light come on, in the collective American consciousness, that as long as a politician sees his or her “service” as a career, as a way to become well-connected, powerful, and rich in ways far beyond the reach of the average American worker-citizen, that working for us is not as profitable as working for themselves. How many jobs are out there today where the average citizen, if diligent about his or her work, can aspire to retire as a full-benefits millionaire, with all the goodies and perks that a successful 30-year political career can deliver?

“Follow the money” is a phrase used today to point out the clues to where something has gone wrong. I say, let’s follow it; let’s just take a look at the great strides and upward progress the average American Worker’s salaries and benefits has enjoyed over the past 40 years, and then compare that to the great strides and upward progress that the salaries and benefits the political body enjoys giving themselves has experienced over the same period.

After all we see, hear, and read, about their behavior, over and over, and over again, the broken promises, the out-right bold-faced lies, betrayed trusts, the obscene mortgage of our children’s future… Need I keep going?

How can we the people continue to believe, over and over, and over again, in the words and promises these very same people continue to default on, time after time, after time? Are we that naive, or are we just plain foolish?

Because, I believe, regardless all we have seen, heard, and read about the current bunch now currying our favor, I will again use/paraphrase words I heard long ago that never connected, until now: “We will get fooled again!”

I believe the time has come for our republic’s grand experiment to be upgraded to its 1.2 version. Public Office should become like the Military Draft used to be: upon receipt of said notice, the average citizen – having met a well-crafted set of educational and experiences requirement for the position – would be dragged screaming into said office for a time no longer than four years, his or her only hope to be released early based on performance.

Only then shall our government’s focus shift back to the betterment of our people, and our nation. When those who would serve are citizens first, before and after their service, I believe their priorities would truly reflect the needs of our good people, and our great nation. Only then will Lincoln’s dream that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth” have a chance to become a sweet reality for US all.

P.S. To all of us who so proudly proclaim to be “INDEPENDENT” tell me this: Of what good and/or purpose does it serve to be Independent, when our choice still remains to vote for a politician, democrat or republican?
Do we really want to see change? Do we really want to make the political body reconsider their thinking? Why don’t we all go to the polls in November and really surprise the political body by doing something they probably laugh if considered? The Libertarian candidate? In my book, that would be the ultimate CHANGE message We the People should deliver to our political body come November, 2008… Enough already!

They would look at the way their dream of democracy with equal rights for all has turned into a nightmare that they could never have anticipated. If they did not drop dead from either heart attacks or strokes, I believe they do one of two things.

One They would stay in this time an attempt to bring about a second revolution as an attempt to remind Americans that they should not be ashamed of their country or their flag. That the America they fought, and that many died for was not dead, and only on life support until those that still have pride of their country, flag and themselves would rise up and take back their land and their freedoms.

Two They would immediately demand that they were returned to their time where they would send messengers to the British Generals offering their unconditional surrender, and consider democracy a really bad idea that would only be destroyed by fools in the future that had no concept of their sacrifices so the generations that came after them would take for granted and give it all away the first chance they had.

It’s sad to say, however, I believe they would do the latter as their short time spent in our moment in history would convince them that no matter how hard they fought, or planned for the future they would always be fools that would pervert America to suit their own twisted dreams of what our country should be, and the easiest way to line in their pockets the gold and silver.

That even today are Judas is among us. Instead of selling Jesus for silver their selling our country for dollar bills. As with the traders in history, they too one-day will pay for their sins. I only hope I’m still here to see.

Sincerely,

Stormy

In conclusion, I would like to say I do not like the way the press has treated him.
