Keeping America an America we love

People are rightly fed up with blunders and gaffes in government, tired of a president who lacks the rhetorical skills to effectively communicate even the policies most Americans agree with him on.

I get it. We all get it.

But what are we really upset about? What really needs change?

The free-market, entrepreneurial spirit of Americans is alive and well.

While many may be understandably frustrated with the war in Iraq, few are willing to pull out from the Middle East in favor of putting our heads in the sand, all the while hoping the flagrantly impotent United Nations will figure things out.

Health care is a real concern for many of us, but when we learn that it is less than 8 percent of Americans that are without insurance, most voters will not stand for subsidization of their health care by the same people who run FEMA and the Department of Motor Vehicles.

We stand for different values than Europe and the rest of the world.

We have succeeded where others have failed precisely because of those values.

Don't sell the rest of us out come November just because you ended up not caring for guys from Texas or now love guys who promise you free stuff.

Vote your conscience, but allow your conscience to have the necessary information and full context to make the right choice.
