As our country politically evolves many are taking the time to reevaluate their core beliefs and striving to more fully understand the impact our government has on our unique freedoms and liberties. For decades our constitution has stood tall, representing a beacon of hope and opportunity world wide. Americans are uniquely gifted.
There are, at least, two justified questions concerning our country; are we evolving or are we eroding? And, are we sliding toward socialism (and, in my opinion, mediocrity)? No matter your political position, unarguably, we are entering a shift in the size and reach of our government. To many the game of politics seems beyond comprehension and difficult to understand. Even though the task is difficult, every generation must decide America’s future. It’s not easy and may take a little soul searching and honesty mixed with an open mind—without a self-serving agenda. Your participation is not optional. You have the power, the opportunity, and the obligation to participate.

RJ, thanks for taking the time to post. Well thought out ideas. While I can’t agree with every point, I do applaud your convictions. Things need to change and sometimes it has to be drastic…I’m not ready to go there, yet. Red Dog, out
BTW—I checked out your blog…good job
That is what makes the country, “Read people” great; we can freely exchange ideas in a civil discourse without derogatory comments regardless of political affiliation. Understanding that the system is broken requires individuals to engage one another to correct the direction and domestic issues of a broken nation. Keep up the good work.

Thanks RJ, I try to be reasonable, but my patience does wear thin at times. I keep trying, cause anger doesn’t help anyone…and we sure have a lot of anger in our country right now.
