Is the Train Wreck Large Enough?

I am a true believer in our Constitution and the government it has stood up for our nation.  In spite of our faults and mistakes, I am proud of our citizenry and what it has accomplished over the life span of our country.  However, it seems like the ambitions of the two national parties have increased geometrically and when given the opportunity, have led them to excesses in autocratic rule.  Based on this trend, the stage might be set up not for a swing back towards the center of political philosophy; but rather a harsh pivot to the right where we might see radical excess of a different flavor.  Is there some type of braking mechanism in place that might slow down the cultural momentum as it gravitates back to the middle from the far left?  Is there sufficient moderate presence in WDC to help the swiveling equilibrium of the right and the left to settle comfortably and solidly in the expansive zone that has grown to separate them?

 

Perhaps a more pertinent question is this: Has the radical liberal element that is currently ruling the Democrat Party and its many societal allies in America today over-reached to the point where voters will repudiate the woke madness and fiscal insanity that has been foisted upon our nation?  Has the disgust that many people have for the liberal coarsening of our everyday lives reached a sufficient level so that life-long Democrats will reject their party’s candidates that are promoting this regime of lunacy?  Is there a sufficient number of Independents and Democrats out there who are worn out by the constant demands of the liberal elites and will choose to flip the House and Senate to Republican control? 

 

How far back to the right do we want to swing?  How far past the middle are we willing to go in an attempt to remedy the excesses of the liberal Democrats’ scourge on our nation?  Will our memories be sufficient to warn us that absolute power vested with either of our two major parties results in corruption and decay?  Or, in an effort to rid ourselves of this woke fever, will we trade in a liberal left madness for an extreme conservative right mandate? 

 

Has the train wreck that the United States has become since the inauguration of Joe Biden been large enough…damaging enough…irresponsible enough…irrational enough…bad enough to convince voters that a big change in government direction is required?  Is our tolerance of decadence strong enough that we will only push back a little bit… just enough to pause the spinning or bring it to a relatively stable halt?  Will we try to “band-aid” a gaping wound?  Or, will we have the good civic sense to hit a mark somewhere to the right side of center that might provide a balance of political belief and can function according to the blueprint of our founders? 

 

It is not a simple task and it will not be easy.  There is much disagreement about exactly where that center-right sweet spot is located.  Even once it is targeted, settling the mammoth mechanism of U.S. government on that mark will be a gargantuan challenge.  History has taught us that once established, government programs and habits become ingrained and are all but impossible to eradicate.  But whether we swing back too far, swing back too modestly, or come close to striking that supreme balance… there should be little doubt that the time has come to swing back.  This coming Tuesday, November 8, will answer the question: Has the train wreck been large enough?  Take a look at the world around you and then decide for yourselves.  Actual, fundamental change in our country initially begins with our elected officials; but it gets its momentum and strength from the people that our elected officials put in charge…into positions of authority.

 

In the last election cycle, two special Senate elections in Georgia empowered the Democrat Party to accomplish what they have over the last two years.  A handful of votes in a few selected states put Joe Biden in the White House.  The narrowest of Senate majorities allowed Biden to seed our government from top to bottom with incompetent, partisan, radical ideologues.  Every… single…political…race in this mid-term cycle is important and potentially critical.  If you are willing to vote like sheep and blithely accept the consequences of your civic appeasement, then you had best be willing to accept the policies that will ultimately flow from those choices and learn to remain silent.  The time for change has come.  The arguments for change are obvious.  The agents of change are apparent.  How much change do you want?

 

The State of America’s Education System IS NOT GOOD.  The Future is in the Hands of Our Children and They Are Being Ill-Prepared for the Challenges They Will Face.
