I’ve decided it is time to re-engage with politics in my life.  I do not like the way that things are going.  I’ve always been center-right, but since Reagan I’ve pretty much voted and not much else.  So what have I gotten for my inaction?

Eight years of Bill Clinton, almost 4 years of Al Gore (shudder), and 8 years of a weak George Bush.  A congress lead by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, who do not seem to know how to lead, but only to blame.

Now, I’m not happy with my own party at all.  But what alternative do I have?  A party that would rather see a weakened America, with good paying jobs shipped overseas so as not to offend the radical environmentalist wing of their party?  A media willing to lie to get their candidate elected?  A nearly trillion dollar bailout because the Democrats created a system that required and encouraged and enabled banks to make bad loans to people who shouldn’t have gotten them?

I can’t continue being part of the problem, I’ve got to start being part of the solution, or at least to stop enabling the corruption that is destroying our country.
