Where Have All Our Leaders Gone?

Americans elected politicians to make hard decisions for our country. We put our faith and trust in these individuals with the hope that they will stand up for us and make hard decisions. We hope that they will have our best interests at heart. But, here is the questions, Where have all our leaders gone?

These so called leaders seem more concerned with their own agenda and with there own pocketbooks then with what most Americans are facing. They have sold this country down the river. They throw words like global economy, climate change, and stimulus around. But, when do they stand up for us, the people who put them into office?

They want to take our personal freedoms away from us. Oh, they say it's for our own good, but it's still an infringement on our Constitutional Freedoms. Piece by piece they are tearing our country apart.

Real leaders stand up for and by the Constitution. Real leaders fight for us, even if their colleagues are against them. Real leaders put Americans first, not others countries. Real leaders wouldn't let American Businesses take their corporations and manufacturing operations out of this country, just to make larger profits. A real leader has the guts to make hard decisions. Real leaders would listen to the American People.

So, where have all our leaders gone? The hard truth is, that we don't have any. They are too concerned with putting money into their pockets. They are too concerned with lecture and media tours. They are too concerned about themselves to be true leaders.

More Than An Angry Day, Just Plain Mad

We all have days where anger gets the best of us, where everyone and everything bothers us. Today is more than that, it's a day where angry and turned to being madness. It's a day where hurting some one's feelings, could happen with out a single thought.

Watching the news just escalates the anger. Why does President Obama and Congressional Leaders think that the American People are stupid. Why do they think that they can do and say anything and we'll just sit down and take it. Don't they realize that living in the real world like we do, that we have friends and family without jobs, whose unemployment has run out. Don't they realize that we have children who can't find work, who want to go to school but they can't get financial aid. Don't they realize that we see how those who get Food Stamps eat better then most of the working class. Don't they realize that we see how the Credit Card Companies have stolen from us, the American Taxpayer? Don't they know that we have family member who can't afford to see a doctor, a dentist or have their eyes checked?

Why have our leader allowed prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance to be removed from our schools? Why does being politically correct mean more than being honest? Why have we allowed schools to become war zones? Why do our leaders play games with the American Public? Where have the leaders gone?

Americans are tired of the lies, from President Obama, from Congress, from the media, from the unions and from religious leaders. We want and need the truth from all fronts and much to the dismay of our so called leaders, we can and will handle the truth.

So yes it's an angry day, but it's more than that, it's a just plain mad day, from an run of the mill American.

A Challenge To the Political Establishment in South Carolina

The national media is aghast that a political unknown won the South Carolina Democratic Primary. The commentators on Fox News repeatedly questioned how and why Alvin Green won the Primary. Of course they brought into play how could an unemployed veteran afford the entry fee. Then they wonder how he could be elected when his budget was $2000.00. Fox News is not alone, all the major media outlets are questioning the election results.

Then there is the ousted incumbent, he of course is challenging the result. How could a veteran politician lose to an unemployed, unknown American Citizen. It defies logic, or does it?

Politicians need to wake up and realize that the American Public is fed up with being ignored by their so called leaders. This applies to local, state and federal governments. The Average American wants smaller government, not bigger. They want their leaders to listen to them, not treat them like children.

Politicians seem to believe that the Average American can not think for themselves. That we have no idea what is in the best interest our community, our state or our country. They seem to think that they have all the answers and that we are too dumb to realize what is in our best interests.

Perhaps Alvin Green, with his simple flyer touched a nerve with the people of South Carolina. Perhaps the people of South Carolina, like the rest of the country are fed up with politicians who ignore them and their concerns. Perhaps this is a wake up call to the political establishment.

It will be a while before we actually know the entire truth about the election, it still makes you wonder if the American People are sending a wake up call to the political establishment.



During the Presidential Election, we were promised change and transparency. Maybe the American People have decided that if the current elected officials won't give it us, then we will just have to make a change. Perhaps American citizens have decided to take back their government from our so called leaders. Maybe South Carolina is a sign to all incumbents that the is a change blowing across America.
