Watching Life and Leadership

Most of us spend our free time consumed with watching lives of others.

Movies, television, cell phones, computers, all these devices along with all forms of entertainment are designed to provide us with distractions.

The distractions are that while spending our time watching the lives of others we are spending little or no time watching our own lives.

Our leaders don’t want us to learn who we are and how we work because we will then discover that our leaders are not qualified to be our leaders.

"...because we will then discover that our leaders are not qualified to be our leaders."

There is little time left for a sufficient number to "discover" that simple truth which has been on display for generations.

Dear Brian

We are not ever going to vote ourselves out of this debacle.

Yes, we can, if we really want to.

Moral Party

The only thing that will change this horrendously awful situation we now face

is for us to understand that we must organize and unite together politically.

So, we’re now requesting our fellow Americans from both sides of the aisle

to stop the incessant fighting with one another and oust the tyrants together.

Or, you could be apathetic and let our future generations become enslaved.

If it's not true: "We are not ever going to vote ourselves out of this debacle"

what realistic expectation could any reasonable person have that << requesting our fellow Americans from both sides of the aisle to stop the incessant fighting with one another and oust the tyrants together>> has any chance of success?

<<...organize and unite together politically>>?? In today's political climate? With the imbeciles, morons, grifters, traitors and perverts who rule the Swamp? Wanting harder. Voting with 2 hands. Won't cut it.

You know Sam Adams wrote that the Constitution "was made only for a moral and religious people." How many of them are there "on both sides of the aisle"?

But do keep us posted. I'll be watching your efforts with great interest but little optimism.

"Or, you could be apathetic and let our future generations become enslaved."

We are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. To acknowledge Reality vs the odds against success is the opposite of apathy; it is strategic situational awareness. Intellectual apathy is wasting time trying to herd cats.

Quite logical in a materialistic way, but my whole life has been full of miracles.

Not responsive to the point , but I'm happy for you.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will deal with Reality.

Dear Brian

I fully understand where we are at on every level.

Nonetheless...

Now is the time for We The People to peacefully Take Back America.

The latest Gallup poll shows that 45% of voters in the United States

identify as Independents, and this number is rapidly increasing.

These 45% now represent close to 80,000,000 American voters.

Our Moral Party has been founded as a genuine clarion call

to rally around and join all Independent voters together.

And for all of those good folks who’ve finally awoken

and will never again vote for the lesser of two evils.

Act Worthy Of Yourselves

“Our country is in danger,

but not to be despaired of.

Our enemies are numerous and powerful;

but we have many friends,

determining to be free,

and heaven and earth will aid the resolution.

On you depend the fortunes of America.

You are to decide the important question,

on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn.

Act worthy of yourselves.”

Dr. Joseph Warren, March 6, 1775, Boston Massacre Oration.

General Warren was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill, on June 17, 1775.

Query: "These 45% now represent close to 80,000,000 American voters. Our Moral Party has been founded as a genuine clarion call to rally around and join all Independent voters together."

How many of the 80MM are certified members of the Moral Party?

What statistical info proves they "will never again vote for the lesser of two evils." While goals are enviable, the rhetoric appears performative, not responsive to any of my contentions.

Politics in Texas sounds a lot like South Dakota, albeit on a much smaller scale. (The largest city in SD is Sioux Falls at 224,000+.)

But, think…Kristi Noem…
