How
to solve the divisions in the Country & Is there a Compromise? By: Sandra Price I’ve
been in deep contemplation over the impending results from the election
on Tuesday. What can we do
to attempt to put the division of Americans aside and work to solve the
mess in I’m stumped at how we even got into the war and completely puzzled on how we can get out of it without bombing the whole country into molten glass. I did some research on this mess and came up with two separate factions that moved into the Republican Party completely turning the GOP into a party nearly opposite to what it was prior to the last two Republican Administrations. We all
know the history of the neocons but why did they wait for the Bush
family before getting their fangs into the government?
I realize they went from being European Jews who came to Many
decided that economics could be improved by their involvement and they
were right. Many were
successful and began to look further than But how to sell this one world order plan? It has been recognized for years that the Evangelical Christians do not vote. They know little about the government and nothing about the Constitution but it was time to get these 25 million people involved in Republican Politics. It didn’t work in 1992 and Bush 41 was not reelected. The Christian coalition went to work and spent the next 8 years growing a base for the Christian vote. They had many of their own candidates’ running for the primary in 2000. The debates looked more like a revival meeting than a political discussion group but they came up with a winner. George W. Bush became the candidate to run against Al Gore. Bush being an Evangelical fit the bill nicely even though he was not a good businessman and a dubious member of the National Guard and an ineffective Governor of Texas, he did little to bring the GOP back into majority of the voters and even the Evangelicals who were promised many Christian doctrines could not put him into the majority of the voters. It had to go to the Supreme Court and the rest is history. Bush spent much of his term lining up lists of things that the Evangelicals would go for and his promise of appointing pro-life judges would take care of abortion, planning a Constitution amendment to prohibit gays from marrying and of course, banning the use of embryonic stem cells for research was the third. Here’s where we are folks. Our federal government is now being run by the neocons who want world power and the Evangelicals who want a Christian nation. How can we put this into some kind of order where we can come up with a compromise? I think about destroying the federal government and letting the states act as individual nations but that would involve a civil war and that isn’t nice at this time. But would it be possible to divide up the nation into areas where certain choices can be made and other areas where the churches can govern on the social laws. Hear me out! Our Evangelicals are centered in the south and the pro-choice on everything people seem to be centered on the east and west coasts. Would it ever be possible for the States themselves to vote on how they want to be governed? I wouldn’t mind moving again to a place where my choices could never be challenged by a Evangelical President again, I have no problem with my neighbors being married to their lovers no matter the sexual preference. I wouldn’t mind having fund raisers for the Universities who are involved in embryonic stem cell research. Let the people of the states vote on a prohibition on abortion. Instead
of having everyone forced to live under the social laws of a single
President, why not leave the whole thing up to the Governors to decide
how to handle the various problems facing us all the time and put these
things up to the voters. Just
think, this would release the President, his cabinet members, the House
and Senate to do what their job descriptions call for.
Had President Bush been given the time to be aware of the Taliban
threats after his election we might have avoided 911.
If our elected officials can concentrate on the people of Whenever the counting is done, and we sit in front of our televisions watching the new POTUS swear his allegiance to the U.S. Constitution can we but hope that whoever it is really knows the rules found within that document? |
