The RIGHT stuff…Politically InCorrect

So I suppose I should explain why I backed off from political commentary. I did it because I wanted to distance myself from the elections for a while so I could better keep my promise not to get on a campaign trail and run myself ragged this year like I have the last three. I figured the best way to do that was to take a break from going on and on about them. Still following the news, but not as closely as usual. Well I’ve sufficiently annoyed myself with trying to stay out of it and couldn’t get a topic that’s been on my mind for a while out of my head.

What I’ve noticed every election cycle is that the conservative/evangelical wing comes together to try and elect someone who will over-rule 60 years worth of bad decision making. This simply isn’t practical. It’s not possible for one man, with a four to eight year term to get rid of bureaucracies that have been in place for decades. As voters we are doing two things wrong:

1. We’re placing too much power on one man that he simply doesn’t have. Instead of changing our focus to trying to elect people who will continue our vision instead of punishing ourselves by sitting out an election.
2. We’re forgetting that even the President has to wait to get his agenda through congress and if we’re not electing congressmen in line with our vision continually nothing is going to get done.’

Perhaps if we changed our perspective away from immediate gratification and to carrying a vision through generations, we would be better off.
