America, Wake Up!

By Ronald Joseph Kule

We have to change the current Administration before we lose all our freedoms. America is under siege in a war of ideas, and when the war is won by one side or the other, we all will have lost our way...and our personal freedoms.

On the Left are "Progressives" who feel big government is the way to a better life for everyone. These thinkers probably have not visited the old USSR and seen the impoverished way the populations of those puppet countries had to live under big government.

On the Right are "Conservatives" so steeped in the Bible as their only source for wisdom - the original definition of "religion" meant simply, "wisdom" - that allowing all citizens to live and work as equal partners as the american way, despite whatever aberrations they may exhibit or have, is too hard a concept to be entertained by them.

America is neither Left nor Right; neither Progressive nor Conservative; it is ALL of us combined and working together toward a common good that is beyond the sum of our parts.

Our Forefathers forged for us a way to get along with each other by creating separate AND BALANCED Judicial, Legislative and Executive branches of government. We get along within this framework when we maintain a balance among the three branches, when neither Left nor Right controls all three. Tip the balancing act of ideas too heavily to one side or the other, and the scales of Justice tip over; Justice is rooted in the very personal soil of Personal Ethics, and a lack of fair Justice and tolerance for all will at last affect adversely each citizen's personal foundation: survival and reason.

The greatest good answer for America is to always maintain a balance among those who control the three branches of its government. A vote for change again is what is needed this Fall and again in 2012...of we are to maintain our balance of freedom for all.
