The Big Day!!!

Well today is one of the biggest day's in this country's history and yes I mean history. We will either elect the first black man to be President of the United States or have the first woman as Vice President and within a heartbeat of being the first woman President of the United States. Which one do I want, well I tell it like this, I not saying right now.

This country is so screwed up morally and ethically, it just no longer has a compass giving it a true direction and I do not believe that we have not found the right person yet to give it that compass or direction to guide it. It needs a leader, no not a leader, it needs a great leader to put it back on the path that eventually made this country great and the reason it was a beacon of hope for millions of emigrants that came through Ellis Island in the 1800's and 1900's. What we do not need is someone that is going to give a free ride to millions of people who came into this country illegally and do not want to really be a part of the country, ethnically or in any other way. We do not need someone that is going to gut the country's defense in the name of giving to other people. A strong defense and a strong offense force means do not mess with us or if you do, you will pay for it. We need to start taking care of our own first before we start taking care of other people in other countries that would rather see us blown up into a million pieces.

Recently I visited a great monument that immortalized four of our greatest Presidents, people that I believe were great leaders and not people that just were saying the things that people wanted to or not wanted to hear. They made the tough decisions and stood by those decisions. Today's newly elected President will not be among those great men at this time nor do I believe that they will be able to be mentioned in the same breath of words as these men, not these leaders in the near or later future.

I have been active in watching, listening, reading, or otherwise involved in the past elections since 1980, the first year I could vote and this last year and half, I would say has been the worst I have ever seen in the election process. I believe it is a process that is broken and needs to be reworked. I have written before that I am a strong advocate of having a National Election Day. Nothing open, absolutely nothing, except for emergency services like hospitals and such. No stores not even gas stations and especially places like Walmart, malls, grocery stores. On this day, it is your chance to go to the polls and cast your vote. Prove that that you a citizen of this country by legal ID, and no I am strongly against a National ID program. We have plenty of other options on proving that your a legal citizen. Get rid of the Electoral College vote, it no longer has any meaning in the way it did back in the beginning of this country.

This is how I see it.
