Football and Politics

For most peo­ple this time of year is all about foot­ball but this year it could be a mix­ture of pol­i­tics and foot­ball which might seem a bit odd at first how­ev­er just about every­one is aware of the lack of lead­er­ship in Wash­ing­ton.

Its a serious issue for many people and as a Military family it seems almost like the whole world has gone insane.

After the Attacks in Paris every­one was sure that some­thing would be done about the hor­ri­ble sit­u­a­tions that have hap­pened already in this nation more than once.

The media of course have not cov­ered this truth as they should have done and as they would have done had a repub­li­can pres­i­dent been in office.

The truth that the media does not tell you about will and can hurt you.

Just like a win­ning foot­ball team, the quar­ter back makes all the dif­fer­ence if you have a leader that can play the game and take the hits as well as run when he needs to run, you have all the ingre­di­ents of suc­cess.

When you have a quar­ter­back that does not per­form the job for which he is being paid then you have a loos­ing team.

Some peo­ple tend to think that Amer­i­ca is over but that is not the truth at all.

Just because we have a Wash­ing­ton right now that will not do the right thing or help those in need, does not mean that Amer­i­ca is done, far from it.

America is the collective aggregation of all the peoples that live in this nation.

Specifically We the People.

Its about all the peo­ple not just half or even a small per­cent­age but you would not know it by lis­ten­ing to the Media these days.

The people are what makes America Great, We are still those same people.

The peo­ple who sac­ri­ficed every­thing defend­ing the free­dom oth­er peo­ple have to burn the flag.

It is the peo­ple who make the world great as well, though this also does not tend to make the dai­ly Media cov­er­age tid­bit.

I look around this still great nation and I see what has made us such a great nation, resources in abun­dance, more nat­ur­al gas than we could ever use up, Mil­lions of resources and the peo­ple can do all of these things and so much more;  from pro­duc­ing green ener­gy from fos­sil fuels to enhanc­ing solar ener­gy col­lec­tion points that can serve as com­mu­ni­ty pow­er dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem.

We have all the resources that you can imagine.

We have the tech­nol­o­gy and we have the peo­ple all we real­ly need is to elect a gov­ern­ment that is for the peo­ple.

Get Wash­ing­ton out of the way of the growth that will sus­tain this nation for as many years as we the peo­ple con­tin­ue to fol­low the prece­dents that our fore­fa­thers set down for all to see and under­stand.

Though less­er men have attempt­ed to sub­vert what Amer­i­ca has been and will be again, we are once again on the cusp of great change as ener­gy con­tin­ues to play a piv­otal role in the devel­op­ment of this nation once we remove the road­blocks to our future suc­cess we can become once again the great nation of our fathers and those before them.

Of late there has been the urgent clar­i­on call of the defeatist, who speak of  “a nation of laws”, how sil­ly; we must have lead­er­ship that has a vision for the future of the Unit­ed States after all it can nev­er be about who one indi­vid­ual per­son is, prop­er gov­er­nance takes into con­sid­er­a­tion the whole of the peo­ple, those that are here and those that have gone before us.

The sac­ri­fices that mil­i­tary fam­i­lies endure that the gen­er­al pub­lic can­not under­stand that the whole fam­i­ly serves not just the ser­vice man or woman.

This great nation owes a debt to the great­est gen­er­a­tion and that gen­er­a­tion owes just the same debt as the one before it.

This con­sid­er­a­tion must be account­ed for else we risk loos­ing who we are and where we all come from.

Gov­er­nance of the peo­ple by the peo­ple for the peo­ple that is indeed the cor­rect con­sti­tu­tion­al sauce that brings Amer­i­cans togeth­er in just this sort of way, watch­ing foot­ball, enjoy­ing great food and the com­pa­ny of those we love, is the “Who, What, When, How, Where” of who we are today and who we have been in the past.

We have no need to look behind us what we need is to embrace the peo­ple we are and know­ing where we have come from and where we want to go we can but under­stand the one cen­tral truth that makes this nation so great, it is of the peo­ple.
