Super Tuesday. Continue The Revolution. Vote!
"History has tried hard to teach us that we can't have good government under politicians. Now, to go and stick one at the very head of the government couldn't be wise."
-- Mark Twain
I saw a comedian over the weekend say terrible politicians are as American as apple pie. Once one gets past the facts that politicians will say anything to get anyone to give them large sums of money so they can say anything to anyone that they believe will get them elected to a position of power, then politicians are fine people.
Politicians will do what they want and we generally pay little attention. Because people realize little of value is accomplished in politics. But, in times of general social consensus we look for leadership and change. And, what is leadership? It's not the smartest. Or the best educated. Or the most experienced. Or those who have the best ideas. The best ideas come from the empowered people. Of all great ideas including our current form of self-rule, how many came from politicians? We fought a revolutionary war to rid ourselves of elitists. Of a single person or a small group of people making decisions of what is right and wrong. Or having undue influence over our rights.
As sure as the sun will shine tomorrow, the true defining characteristic of great leadership is to empower the rights of individuals before that of government, corporations and concentration of power. If history is any guide, we shall see true political leadership develop in the coming years be it this election or the next. Why? Because the majority are achieving enlightenment. They are awakening to the fact that these ideals have been taken from them through voter apathy. And, that in return they have received nothing but uncertainty. As Lao Tzu told us thousands of years ago, "A leader is best when people barely know he exits. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, 'We did it ourselves.'.".
This country was started by a revolution. A revolution of ideas and ideals. Ideals of self-rule by the masses. All are equal. Our founding fathers sacrificed everything for these ideals. It is your duty to continue the revolution by voting. And to pick the candidate you believe will protect the individual rights most important to you. Not what is good for Wall Street or corporations. Those institutions are only successful if you are successful. If the masses are successful. Some may value conservative ideals. Some liberal. Some both. Some neither. Ideals are constantly bent and twisted by politicians. Both parties want to be the party of Jefferson. Both parties want to be viewed as uniquely American. Neither are. Jefferson wanted to ban political parties. The right candidate is your candidate.
Continue the revolution on this biggest voting day of this Presidential primary process. VOTE!
