Political labels are meaningless. Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, Moderate. I don’t know what any of them mean or represent anymore, except that most of us fool ourselves into supporting the one who best plays the role of our choice. Personally, I think one collective name for the entire Washington establishment might work. Sick Bastards come to mind, but this is a family friendly letter so Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest seem more apropos… I keep getting an image of John McCain and Ted Kennedy butt slapping as if they just came out of a football huddle. They’re all politicians and their particular brand matters not.

Politician-Americans. A class of humankind living in their own unique eco, or better said egosystem. They wander around in there, much as they do in Hollywood, believing they’re perfectly normal and that the rest of America thinks acts and lives as they do. They are power sick and small minded people many of which have never held a job. They believe they’re better equipped to plan and manage my life and yours than we are. Instead of using vast amounts of information, and their atrophied brains to make smart decisions for our country, they rely on polls taken from a woefully uninformed constituency. A constituency with its information and thoughts provided by media that’s lost its way, if you’re gullible enough to believe it ever had a way. Media that long ago decided that taking one side or the other is better than providing truthful, factual information.

Politicians who live by polls are not leaders, they’re vote whores. I want to vote for leaders, don’t you? I want someone in Washington that will make smart, informed choices on my behalf. Can you imagine any corporation surviving if it was operated the way Congress seems to not function these days. If you were a corporate executive officer, would you want all of your high paid managers to poll the assembly line workers before making leadership decisions that will have broad and long term consequences for the corporation? Me neither. Those assembly line workers are important people, but probably lack the information needed to make corporate level decisions. That is what is happening in Washington. Every time a pin headed politician cites a poll, he or she is avoiding leadership and allowing the assembly line worker, whose corporate knowledge ends at put tab A into slot B, to make decisions that have long term implications for our country. Why? Simple. It’s not about what’s best for the country; it’s about what’s best to get votes. Our country is run in never ending election cycles. Our long term vision consists of empty poll based promises that recycle every two years for Congressional elections. If you observe closely, you can see America swirling much like what you see when you push the flusher on your toilet. Politicians are leading us down into their dysfunctional cesspool. I don’t think I want to go there with them. Do you?

We started losing America when we started hyphenating ourselves. We went much farther down the road to our demise when we decided that somehow we had the right to not be offended by what someone else says. For years, politicians have been so fearful of being Imused by Al Sharpton and the media that they communicate to us in platitudes. The ones having courage to speak plainly and from their hearts are immediately labeled as a phobic of some sort and marginalized by those “intellectuals” who comprise the scum on the surface of Media Pond.

I’m looking for leaders that will not have a problem calling BS on stupidity.

The leaders I’m willing to support will understand that security is our most important issue and that our country is not secure until our borders and ports of entry are totally controlled and we know who is here now. I love hard working people who come here looking to support their families, but the hard fact is that 50 percent of the New Jersey gang walked across the US southern border at Brownsville, Texas and entered the country illegally. Our solution to that problem, it appears, is to give them amnesty for doing it. How many more Islamo-Nazis have crossed our open borders and are there any leaders in Washington with the courage to publicly consider that or who even give a rat’s hind end? Leaders understand that there are dangerous people in the world who want nothing more than the destruction of our country and that you don’t negotiate with them, you do unto them as they would you, but you do it first. You also don’t leave the door open for them to come in and kill you. If Rosie and Paris were elected to Congress, America wouldn’t notice a difference.

I’m not a politician, so I can’t preface what I say by presuming to speak for most Americans, but I think it’s time for all of us who claim Americanship to send a loud and clear message to Washington. It’s time knock off the crap and secure our country while we still have one. It’s time for you to lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
