Pedro's Podium: Vote Like Your Country Depends Upon It

Moderation comes in many degrees. The most common question that I keep hearing asks is whether President Obama will move to the middle if the Republicans take control of Congress. In my opinion I believe that he considers himself in the middle already. He really believes that he is a moderate. You must remember that he surrounded himself with radicals. Marxist, and Communist in College. (His words, not mine.) His mentors have all been Communists. (His words, not mine.) He still surrounds himself with Left Wing Radical, Socialist, Marxists, and Communists. I believe that he see his positions as moderate. Anyone to the right of him is a radical right wing extremist. Just look at how he has treated the American people. He has aligned himself with the people he worked to organize, even though he came from a family of privilege. Besides he is a Socialist not a Communist. Any any good Socialist would consider themselves to be balanced and in the political middle.

Consider that he and most of the Democrats in Congress thought that the nationalization of the healthcare system would be popular. They believe that the American people would fully support their nationalization of the banks and car companies. They don't consider these Socialist/Fascist policies as far left wing programs. They see them as moderate positions. During the entire healthcare debate they sold it as an emergency measure. But after it passed they bragged that it was a 100 year old objective of the Progressives. It sounded a lot like a set up to me. They see everything that they have done as the acts of moderates and only gave lip service to working with anyone to the right of their positions.

We must ignore those who call the Tea Party; extreme. It is important to remember what they think is extreme. They think that enforcing the law, honoring commitments, honoring their oath of office, personal freedom, faith, and liberty are extreme positions. They believe that there are no limits to their power, and that anyone who attempts to stand up for their rights is a right wing radical. If you believe that it is the responsibility of the government to protect the nation and its borders, you are dangerous. Take the time to listen to what they say and how they act. After an honest evaluation it is hard to come to another opinion, no matter how hard it is to admit this to yourself.

You may disagree and say that I'm crazy, but take the time to consider the actions of our leaders. The failure of the US Department of Justice to equally enforce the voters rights act, by dropping charges against the NBP Party shows a dangerous trend in our political system. It appears now that Justice Department Attorneys are being sent to investigate voting in Arizona. They are being sent to investigate the state. It appears that they may be intervening to make sure that Illegal Aliens are not prevented from voting. The attack on our system of justice and the rule of law means nothing to those who only desire power. Obtaining and maintaining power by any means does not present a bright future for this country.

This is only made clearer by his comments in which he defined the America People as enemies. He made those comments in reference to so-called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" also known as Amnesty for Illegals. He was talking to foreign nationals and defining the American people as enemies. From this statement he seems to be calling for violence. How can a leader of a nation so openly attack the people of his nation? From his actions I have to believe that his agenda is not designed to create a prosperous nation, but is designed to throw this nation into chaos.

In 2006 the American people punished the Republicans for betraying our trust and implementing Progressive policies that violated the common sense of many concerned citizens. Beginning that year the Democrats began the march that lead us to where we are today. An honest look at the policies put in place over the last few years shows that our government has grown into a giant beast that the founders could never imagine.

The President and those in his party talk about the policies of the Bush Administration ignores the fact that the Democrats have control the Congress since 2007. Then Senator Obama was part of the wave that put into power and he is not innocent in the economic crisis that now grips the nation. They refuse to admit that the timing of the economic downturn occurred after they took power. So for those who have controlled the legislation and the purse strings to claim that their policies have been good for the country overlooks history.

Tuesday is election day. There are several personality types that make elections interesting.

Votei-asleepus: This is a dangerous trait. They spend much of their time harmlessly and many times productively, and prefers to stay ignorant to its surroundings. They have been around for years and have become very common. Many don't take the time to vote and stay in a constant state of denial. Some do awaken every two or four years. They rarely appear during the midterm elections, but appear when awaken by certain events. Upon awakening they make critical decisions based on the first or the best sounding commercial they hear. The danger lays in their trust in people they barely know and their willingness to make critical decisions from very limited information. They often fall for catchy slogans such as; "I feel you pain" or "Hope and Change" or "Yes we can." This personality type may be in decline, but without a full understanding of these people it is impossible to tell how many really exist. These people have a very similar type known as the Citizeni-asleepus. They are the same but the latter never votes and close their ears when they hear anything political.

Yellowdogus-democrata: This is another personality trait that is far too common. They live their life based upon the notion that an organization can not be co opted. They live under a belief system that says that: "My parents and their parents and their parents-parents were Democrats, so I'm a Democrat." Another interesting belief is their total belief that all Republican are "rich fat cats" who hate everyone. The latest addition is the idea that anyone who disagrees with the party are extremist Republicans, no matter what. They profess love but preach hate and don't see any contradictions in this core belief. Like the Votei-asleepus many often ignore all politics until they will vote for anyone that is running under the D banner. It is not certain if they even agree or care about the position of those who they vote for as long as they are a member of the Democrat party.

Voteria-frauders: This is the most dangerous of all of the types. They believe that they are superior to all other people and that they must obtain victory, no matter the cost. They work to fix the system and are very useful for those without a conscious with no regard for the system. They only wish to win. They have been a part of human history and will never be extinct. They can only be controlled through vigilance.

There are other types but, many of these are the ones that can cause the most trouble this election day. Some of those in the first category have awoken and must stay awake. For use to reclaim our republic requires that those loyal to our form of government stay aware of the dangers that we face over the coming years. We must go to the polls and vote on Tuesday. We must make sure that those who we put in office are loyal to the Constitution and not to their party and the Progressive movement. We can not allow those who have stolen our liberties to dishearten us. We must speak up and have our voices be heard.

Remember that this is a process. There are no easy answers and some that we send to Washington will betray us, but we must hold their feet to the fire and expect honesty. We must be willing to sacrifice for the future. We can not allow those who are enslaving our future to control the conversation. It is time to act and act now. Vote as if your country depends upon it.
