HAPPY NEW YEAR

I vowed to start the New Year off with regular weekly dissertations of subjects that caught my interest and stirred my blood with vim vigor and action. Alas, tis the first week of the New Year and I am only now picking up my fingers and pecking a note of commentary that perhaps, no one will read but I will take satisfaction from knowing I spoke from my heart.

In keeping with the tone of a New Year and a new Congress filled with different faces, it seems proper that I share with you my total dismay at politics, right, left, center and all around. I am tired of battles that reflect only partisan politics with each side taking the position that the other side, by virtue of their political positions must be wrong. I want to hear politicians who are committed to America, my country, the countries interests and the preservation of our freedoms and the security that should go with it come forward with ideas, debates and resolutions. I am not interested in who is right. I am interested in what is right for the country. My mother used to say, “There is more than one way to skin a cat”. So it is with politics. There are many ways in which results can be achieved, so let the powers debate the ways that are in the best interests of our country and forget which side of the aisle in which they reside.
