I always thought that most Americans didn’t like Socialism.  This year the Democrat Candidates seem to think we do.  They want to fix it all, including the borders.  That would be great if they knew what they were doing.  The fact that they are still trying to push amnesty and drivers licenses for illegal residents is about all anyone should need.  They seem to forget they want to work for us.

Whatever happened to small government, personal freedoms, low taxes and everything else the Republican Party used to stand for? Somehow I just don’t think Rudy is our man.  And Ron Paul, we all love you man.  Moving their candidate into the Republican race was the smartest move the Libertarians have made in my lifetime.  Most of your views are right on.  But, until you are ready to deal with America in the World Community, you don’t have a chance.  That is just not something we can gamble on.

The American political system is beginning to fail us.  As Americans, we are duty bound to try to fix it.  Problem is, everyone has a different priority.  Looking at all of the US Political Parties on Wikipedia, one would think we are a Nation of single issue voters.   Single issue voting, among other things, has led to a Congress that couldn’t care less what the average American thinks. 

Might I suggest a Coalition?  It could be a third party, or maybe just a very loud voice.   Surely we can all find issues that we can agree on.  A little give and take could work wonders if all sides are willing.   Of course, tackling the issues one at a time to build a consensus will be the hard thing.   But it will be harder later on. 

Things that I am afraid of:

1.      The day oil reaches $500 a barrel
2.      The day Republicans get control of everything
3.      The day that Al Gore becomes World President
4.      Osama’s “perfect day”
5.      The IRS and our (In need of a new) tax system
6.      MexAmeriCanada
7.      Rudy
8.      Hillary
9.      Iranian Cuisine

10.  The American Media 

I would ask that some of you out there help decide the most important issues.  From there we can work toward common ground.  Please post your list of the issues most important to you.

Unless we make changes, in the long term, the price is only going up.
Our basic freedoms are at risk.  For 35 years we have let our politicians pander to the  environmental extremists.  I think it’s time to drill for some oil.
Things we must do:
1. Open drilling to all economically feasible sites that can be ecologically protected.
2. Build new refineries. No new refineries have been constructed in the US in 30 years.
3. Build new Nuclear power plants.  The rest of the world is ahead of the US on this.
4. Open lands to shale oil production in the US.
5. Get rid of any politician that doesnt work towards the goal of energy independence.

The US trade deficit for oil in March was $24.6 billion dollars. We are financing the terror war against us.  We are a capatilist Nation with the best enviromental technology in human history under our belts.  It is time to tell Washington to get it done or get out!

The war is dragging on, but do we pull out? What could the real difference be?
