I wanted very much to work with the CHB members with a desire to describe exactly what we felt was wrong and how to improve the situation. Doug started a group for change and improvement and it fell apart. Bloggers tend to have great and brave theories for change but in the world of the internet they do not catch on. It is rare to find any group who can collaborate on changes. The Huffington Post has managed to do it but it is closed off to new members and trying to input new ideas is more trouble than it is worth. We all get brilliant on Monday and by Wednesday, it becomes old theories.

At this time, when we are between two parties and two different men who want to be leaders, maybe this election next Tuesday will clear the air for more positive positions.

Instead of knocking Doug’s words, how about writing something of your own to direct many of us in a new way to operate our government? Many of us are always open to new ideas and ideals.

I want a government I can trust to represent all of us without eliminating minorities based on some religion or other. Trying to return to the days of white colonial Christian straight men is ridiculous. The joy of issuing freedoms to all of us should not be slandered as some plan for Satan. If Satan terrorizes anyone, then you have the freedom to live under those conditions but why the necessity of legislation?

These two choices we have represent a continuation of the status quo. Any monkey wrench in that machinery can only be a good thing.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Not to vote is not an option in his thinking. He readily acknowledges that whomever you vote for it will be a vote not for a solution but for the perpetuation of the status quo. But, that is not quite completely true.

If you follow DT’s path there really is only one logical vote that will accelerate his vision for a total revamp of the political system – Romney! It is under the control of the GOP that only a true political revolution can possibly take place in the country. A DT future can only occur if, at a minimum, complete party control by the GOP exists for at least 8, 12 if not 16 years or more. The American Republic is no longer being served by a system that vasilates back and forth every few years or so between Dem or GOP control. Money has corrupted the vision in a profound and fundamental way that no signer of the DoI or the Constitution would ever have imagined.

When do people take action? When they see the value or they are fed up! The answer is really to turn the complete direction of the nation over to one party or another. But, which party? Which party will advance policies that will accelerate the political, social and economic environment to the point where the revolution can take place? The GOP! They are the party of turning back the clock socially. They are the party which seeks to create the widest economic gaps. They are they party that has largest financial interest in the “G(g)od” quotient. They are truly and without doubt the party that has the largest stockpile of financial reserves and anti-thetical policies to 21st century democratic principles which, going forward, will ultimately be forced to rely upon and yield to global forces that are completely in opposition.

So, in this election the answer to the beginning of the future that DT has been advocating here at CHB for all these years is to turn control over to the party that has the most extreme vision for America, and keep giving them that control over and over again. The deeper the divide the greater the chance for real reform. As longer as the waters continue to be muddied and there is this constant tug-of-war the prospect for reform will die on the vine.

Yes, he has some positions that I support, particularly when it comes to the USA Patriot Act. I voted for him as a protest vote because I knew he couldn’t win. He’s not the leader this country needs.

Although your commentary and opinion pieces suggested a strong anti-establishment, libertarian bent, you took a special interest in ridiculing and showing a general disdain for Ron Paul and his “cult-like” following.

And then, when it was too late and the damage was already done, after years of following the mainstream media’s lead in marginalizing and ridiculing any one that supported Paul, you decided it was time to ‘fess up and announce that you actually voted for him in 2008 and support many of his positions.

You could have used the last four years advancing the ideals you purport to support in the only candidate that even comes close.

You ask us to roll up our sleeves and work for change.

You first…

I would swallow my pride, and show up where the President intends to be today and offer my help. What a chance to get his feet wet and show compassion for the American People. But could we ever expect Romney to step down into the position of President instead of his place on the white mountain of his faith? The church looks at Romney as royalty and in no possible way would he get wet under the threat of Sandy.

I love sharing the name of Sandy. I was named after a brand of Scotch whiskey and loaned it to the government. Bottoms up!
