As the political year is coming to an end, what comes to mind is the infighting and its infiltration into every fiber of our being. What are we afraid of this day and why must we relegate ourselves to such scathing and derogatory remarks from every candidate running for office?
We are talking about another human being and if anyone spewed the trash we hear daily on the media and in the community, we would quickly divorce ourselves from their rantings. We are supposed to be role models, not angry, inept individuals.
Unfortunately, we are influenced by those who disrespect other individuals. We have difficulty walking the path to prosperity and we blame the wrong people for having the common decency to speak the truth with integrity.
Regardless of your voting record, choose the individual who will best lead this country into continuous and constant growth without the fanfare of the past. Those who believe that wars are the answer to our problems is forgetting the many males and females who are the result of human suffering and the families who will forever be affected.
When we make the wrong choice, we live with it for a long time. Are you willing to take a chance on going down that road? Your life is at stake here and many of you are willing to see our infrastructure get decimated by those who believe they have the answer to every problem and have resolutions that are far from logical or factual.
We have a voice but many of us make a decision regardless of the consequences and will rue that decision tomorrow when it is too late.
We have fractured our bi-partisan views and we are having great difficulty finding common ground. Return to your roots and you may find that you can agree to disagree and still have respect for each other. Get down off that pedestal before it takes you down.
We are a melting pot and the sooner we acknowledge that fact, which is obvious daily, we will constantly find reasons to protest everything. Being afraid of communicating and having a real conversation with those whose opinion differs from ours only prolongs the Cold War between decent people.
Are we ready for the likes of those who rave about what they can do to take more action but do not have the faintest idea how to accomplish that goal? We listen to all the rhetoric that we hear, but do we vote in order to make the changes that we think would be best for America?
Let us show the rest of the world that we are people standing by our convictions and a nation made up of strong, dedicated individuals who care for each person, in service of our country. Let us find common ground and work with each other to make this a better world. Get up and do your part. This is not the time to constantly complain, but time to act and become a an activist, not a pacifist.
