Election 2010

Ladies and gentlemen, it is now over. The 2010 election cycle has come and gone, and with wonderful results. As a Republican, I have a biased point of view on the outcome, but anyone who says they don't, is a liar. There is no such thing as political neutrality any longer. It is one side or the other. Every single person can have their beliefs placed in a category, and that category can be filed under the basic principles of one of the two great American political parties. With that said, I can brag about the outcome of the election, as it was my belief system that ended up being victorious. The great part is, my belief system, is that of the truly patriotic American. It is Constitutional, based in the rights of man, in the order of civilization, and the beliefs and ideals our forefathers passed down to us. I did not fall for the progressive drivel as so many of my neighbors did. I did not vote in favor of murder by way of abortion. I did not vote for the raping of religion in the name of justice, or the absence of the very same from the halls of our government. I did not vote against the right to defend one's self from aggressors, or the belief that our nation is not exceptional. On the contrary, I voted for all of these things. I voted for America.

American Exceptionalism is the term used to describe a belief that the United States of America is blessed beyond any nation on earth, and that our system is superior to others. Some argue that this is egotistical. I argue that it is true! America, and its system, for all of her flaws and imperfections, is the most perfect system in the world. There are those who cite the higher GNP in nations such as Sweden or Norway, and some point to the exploding economies of China and India. I agree, that those nations have individual traits that are better then ours, but one must look at the overall picture to obtain a clear understanding of what exceptionalism means. It is not merely a high income, or a booming economy. The citizens of those nations have sold something very dear to the human spirit, in order to obtain their single bragging rights. They sold their freedom. They believe it to be more important to be rich, or have booming economies, or to have less to worry about and allowing the government to worry for them, then to have the freedom that we enjoy in this country. There is poverty in America. There is starvation. There is abuse, assault, rape, and murder. There is corruption, and there is sacrifice on large scales, but to temper this, there is something that no other nation on earth possesses. We have the freedom to better ourselves, to remove those things from our society, and to become something, without fear of retribution or government intrusion. We are free men and women, with endless possibilities in front of us. In Sweden, you cannot say no, if the government tells you to say yes. In China, you cannot disagree with your government, or you will be tortured and jailed, possibly murdered, by those who rule your lives. This is America, a land where possibilities are limited only by your imagination, and the freedoms to accomplish all that you imagine are constrained only by the boundaries of the human spirit.

I say this, because the election proved that Americans don't want to be dominated by a government, they want to dominate their government! They don't want to be ruled, but to rule. They don't want people making decisions for them, they want to make the decisions. Government by the people, of the people, and for the people, has not perished from this earth, and as long as our nation remembers its roots, the sacrifices made to secure our freedoms, and the lives placed upon the alter of justice and equality to purchase our liberties, we shall not lose our way. Our nation took a turn, and that turn is leading us down the right path. We reclaimed our House of Representatives in a landmark vote, and swept aside the Socialists, Communists, and anti-American zealots who have choked us for the past four years. We have made it clear that we do not want to spend more then we have. We do not want a healthcare system run by our government, which will inevitably drive our nation to financial ruin. We do not want our elected officials telling us what is best for us. We do not want a government that rules the people without regard to the wishes of the people. We have spoken, and we are one united voice. We will take our place in Washington as the voice of the people. We are Americans united against liberalism, socialism, communism, and progressivism. We are Americans, and together, we can defeat those who choose to trample on our beliefs, our way of life, and our freedoms.

There is no better feeling, then the victory of freedom over tyranny, of liberty over slavery. We have thrown off the binding chains of the Democratic Party, and are free once again. Onward to 2012 and the Presidential election, where Americans will retake the White House, and the Senate, and we shall be a land governed by the people once again!
