Political words

The political season never ends, does it? We can't avoid it, even when we tune out;
what is done in the political arena affects us, our pocketbooks, our choices, and
our restrictions.

The words thrown around, liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, etc are
meaningless.

We are told one party is better than the other, one promises more government,
the other says there is too much government, but again, this is meaningless.

For whichever party drives the politics of our country, only the manner it which
we are governed will change, not dramatically improved as the times demand.

Both parties offer appealing arguments of how they can best serve our nation.
But, for decades we have allowed them, using the power of a central government,
to get more involved in every aspect of our lives. 

The American people for the most part have been led to believe government can
make better decisions than we can, about our well-being, educating our children,
and most decisions we previously made for ourselves.

One party may lean one way, and the other will lean in the opposite direction, but
the American people are still being driven, rather than driving themselves as they
should be!

Oh, about the missing word....sovereignty!  More accurately, state sovereignty which
you  will not  hear mentioned, not even by the most "limited government" candidate
you eagerly support. 

The sovereignty of the states was so crucial at our founding that not having it  almost
kept our country from being formed.

But, two-hundred-plus years later not even the states seem to care the Federal government,
thanks to the efforts of the men and women we elect to represent us, seem to care what
is being driven down from Washington.

What is state sovereignty?

State sovereignty is the foundation of our nation. This is what sets our form
of government from all others.

State sovereignty means each state determined how its citizens are governed
with only minimal, limited empowerment deferred to the Federal government.

If you cannot recognize a nation like this, that is because you do not live in one,
you reside in the United States of America.

No matter which party is in power, or which person we elect to represent us,
NOTHING is more important to the success of our nation than defusing the
power of Washington and returning it to the states and its citizens.
