What Does It Mean... Politics?

Don't let invincibility become the norm in our society, where nobody cares about the next person. Honestly, when I look at the news and C-SPAN and see stuff like the shooting in Colorado, or hear Republicans being so callous and blurting out such divisive language concerning the poor and the middle-class, it makes me wonder how if we feel such disregard for each other then how does that make America the greatest nation on earth?

Because I know that if Mitt Romney is elected president in November, this country is doomed for destruction. There will no longer be a middle-class in America. You will either be very poor, poor, or rich. There will be no in-between, and slavery will not be a race thing this go around. It will be a class issue.

We, as Americans, will have to care about each other. Epluribus unum, "out of many, one." 350 million people make up one nation. We can all do better, if we choose to be better.

Will there ever be world peace? Absolutely not! That was a rhetorical question because I already know the answer. But that does not mean that we have to be so entrenched in our tenets that we are close-minded to what our fellow human needs are. If that is the case, then all is truly lost. But I am cautiously optimistic about the future. Hopefully, most of you are too. That means that you have to support President Obama, the mess that he inherited was decades old. However, he has done more in three-and-a-half years than any other president that I can remember.

Let me wrap up by saying: vote in November. Your vote counts, you matter. If you want to change the politics of America, then become proactive. Don't just throw your hands in the air and give up. Fight for yourself and your family, especially your children's future. Vote let your voice be heard.

President Obama is not a perfect man nor a perfect president, but Mitt Romney is not an alternative. He's not even an option. He will take this country into the abyss. Romeny just came back from his overseas trip and, in tow of the three places, he offended the host country. How can you be president when you're not presidential material?
