No More Politics As Usual

If you know me then you know that my political views have not changed. I do not follow the crowd. My principles are biblically based. God said it that settles it, now go do it.

In politics there are those who do, those who won’t and those who can’t. Although “qualified” to serve as an elected official, many should never have stepped into the ring. Once they taste power it is really hard to let it go. How many congressional dinosaurs have spent their entire adult lives in office without considering themselves as public servants? How many have died in office well after retirement age? How many have left office or “retired” with a congressional pension? How does one retire from public service anyway?

Over the past 40 years we have seen a number of politicians with their “hand in the till” spending American tax dollars like it was their own personal money. They say it benefits their constituents back home, when in reality all too often it only pads their bank accounts through kick-backs and campaign contributions or outright gifts from foreign sources.

What America needs are responsible citizen servants in Congress who are business minded and determined to get things done that benefit our nation as a whole, instead of special interest, minority, political groups or factions. Congress as an institution contains many great minds with diverse backgrounds that when working together can accomplish great things, unless they become divided by personal or political agendas.

As a nation we must get back to balancing our out of control budget, by a combination of embargos, tariffs, tax incentives for US corporations, a unified single tax rate and not spending what we don’t have. Our government must be run like a business, by people who know how to make a business successful while providing quality products or services at an affordable cost to the consumer.

Our government’s utmost priority must be national security and the safety of every citizen at home and abroad. A nation without border security is prone to failure. Selective enforcement of our laws makes Americans unsafe. Laws that contradict the US Constitution and common sense place Americans in great danger. While catering to citizens of other nations who come to this country or allowing foreign criminals into our country and penalizing law abiding American citizens makes no sense at all.

The political process begins and ends with America voters. Every registered vote matters regardless of political party. Vote for the candidate that supports the Constitution, honors God and believes the way you do. – RTM
