As we get ready to vote in what could be the most important election in our lifetimes debates are going on all across the country. I want to discuss the Angle-Reid debate here in Nevada since this seat happens to be the Senate Majority leaders, Harry Reid.
During the debate there were few gaffes that would sway the public opinion toward one candidate or the other. Both held their ground and vigorously defended their positions on the issues. Angle is for health care that covers everyone as the Trust accounts all Federal employees have. Whereas Reid is for what was passed as is without any type of changes to it.
Angle talked in great detail about our Constitutional rights to own guns, have opinions and buy insurance policies that we want not what the government mandates the citizens to have. She talked about Pelosi’s statement “but we must pass the bill so you can find out what is in it” saying that isn’t how government is supposed to work, as a representative of the people you are supposed to read the bill and then vote on it if it passes the constitutional requirements.
Reid talked in great detail about how he has helped every citizen who has a problem with their homes being under water. Continuing with how he got Bank of America to stop all foreclosures for the time being and that he has always fought for the citizens in Nevada. Reid stated Yucca Mountain was not good for the country nor the State of Nevada. He pointed to Angle and summed up her stance as bad for Nevada to make Yucca Mountain a dump for Nevada.
Angle responded with Harry’s “Coal makes you sick” comment continuing on with we need to create energy to bring jobs to Nevada to lessen our dependency on foreign oils.
Mitch was equally harsh on both candidates using quotes that they had both made throughout this campaign. Angle was hit with her view she wanted to abolish the Department of Education to which she responded with her 25 years as an educator. She wants the states to have the money at local levels to do what they feel would be in the best interest for our students.
Mitch hit Reid hard with the “this war is lost quote”. Reid responded with his familiar “General Petraeus is a friend of mine and I was stating that we could not militarily win the war as it was being fought. He never addressed the quote and offered why he made the statement in the first place.
What is at stake here is on November 2nd we have a choice to make. Will we vote as we have in the past down party lines for individuals that may not help our economy, our country and our lives. What will happen come November 2nd when the voters drive to the polls and vote for the candidate of their choosing. When the votes are counted and we have Angle or Reid will they get off the couch and say ” I can’t believe he/she just won, what is wrong with these people”.
There are only two documents in this Country worth fighting for, first and foremost our Constitution. The only document that has withstood the test of time around the world. Our Founding Fathers enumerated the powers that our federal government should have along with the powers and rights that the States and it’s citizens required.
Secondly the only other document in this Country worth fighting for is the ballot we receive when we go to vote to have our God-given right heard by all. We are the voice of America not those with millions and allegiance to special interest groups or lobbyists.
Remember your vote counts, look at all the candidates and find the one that will best represent your interests whatever they may be. Do not sit by and wait to see what happens. On election day we can make history or we will be history. You decide make or be, the choice is yours.
The Times They Are A Changin!
October 22, 2010Bob Dylan is a prolific song writer who has many great hits with lyrics that are thought-provoking as the title to this song states “The times they are a changin”. Juan Williams is at the center of a controversy due to a statement he made on the O”Reilly Factor about how uneasy he was when at an airport and Muslims enter the area with their full garb on pushing their religious beliefs. He stated “I must admit” while talking about the state of mind he is in and of being fearful when they (the Muslims) put their belief above that of the United States.
This came at a time when Mr. Williams has frequently appeared on the Fox News Network to provide insight and analysis on the issues of the day. For those of you who already know the name, Mr. Williams is a liberal who believes the views he projects with all his heart. Juan has great debates when he is a guest on any of the talk shows that offer him the opportunity to speak.
Now, the issues here isn’t if we agree with his analysis or views on the issues but did he deserve to be fired over a feeling he gets at airports. If you have ever listened to Juan he believes what he is talking about with all his heart. He is passionate about the issues and will carry on great debates with the hosts of all programs he appears on. Because of his affiliation with Fox they are trying to shut him up by firing him.
Again we don’t have to agree with every issue people represent but we do agree everyone has the right to speak his mind and talk about his views without repercussion as long as they do not cross the threshold the Supreme Court deems incites . Juan is liberal mind you but he will sit and discuss the issues with respect shown toward those hosting the program which I commend him for as most liberal debate without facts or figures and us emotions to drive home their point.
Well Juan NPR is no big loss to you. You will be fine and will get an opportunity to shine without having to look back and wonder why those in charge at NPR would release a thought-provoking individual such as yourself. Remember you are only as good as those you surround yourself with, you’re in good hands at the Fox News Network.
Let this be a lesson for anyone who has a voice in this country, if you speak out against those who have an agenda that doesn’t agree with yours, you will be dealt with. The George Soros’s of the world have their ideologies and institutions where they attempt to control all those around them. Those days are gone Mr. Soros, the people of America will no longer allow individuals like yourself to control our destination.
Bob Dylan didn’t know exactly what influence those words would have on American culture I am sure. The times they are a Changing and no one will be able to stop this movement by the American Citizens who have risen up to fight for a Country they believe in.
This leads us back to the elections coming up in less than 10 days. Stand up and have your voices heard by voting for those individuals that will best represent what you believe in. The two-party system has torn apart our political process because of the greed factor that goes with the powers they weld. We can return the powers to the people and the States when we vote.
I received a card in the mail today and on the back was a seal with this inscription, “It is the duty of the Patriot to protect his Country from his Government.” Thomas Paine. We are at that point folks, we must fight with letters, calls and rallies to let those in power know that the abuse of office will not be tolerated any longer. Whether you are an individual with billions trying to sway the public opinion or our elected official we will stand up against you when you ignore our wishes.
Best of luck in your new home at Fox Mr. Williams. Look toward the future as you now have become a victim of the left-wing progressives that do not like you due to your frequent appearances on Fox. The times they are a changin. Here is a link to the lyrics, they are pretty deep into the situation we are facing, maybe Dylan did understand where we were heading. http://bit.ly/a36rBk
