It is time I got back into Politics.

I’ve been gone a while now, tired of the “me vs. you” back-and-forth of our Nation’s Red/Blue Political mentality. Sick of the offense taken by so many simply because I believe in a Country rooted in Freedom and Liberty, not one of rules, restrictions, and regulations. Bored with the “same old - same old” debates which have had a choke hold on our Government for the last few decades. Angry with my Countrymen for not seeing what’s going on - that we’re stuck. Stuck in Iraq. Stuck in debt. Stuck in dead-end jobs. Stuck with laws no person should be burdened with.

It’s bad out there. And like everyone else, I’m ready for a change of pace. I’m ready to return to an America I can be proud of. The one I think of when I sing the National Anthem or when I hold Thalia in my arms. One of true freedom from oppression. One with real freedom of expression. One that doesn’t care if you’re gay, straight, black, white, Athiest or Baptist. One that says “give us your tired, your poor” and means it. One that cares about its spacious skies and amber waves of grain enough to protect them from the ticking time-bomb of the Carbon age.

For many, my America is something to fear. One of hippies and homos, of ten-horsepower electric cars and God-hating welfare kings. They say “we can’t”. We can’t offer that kind of freedom and expect to keep order. We can’t let people choose their own paths and think our Nation won’t go straight to hell. We can’t give help to the helpless and expect to pay the bills. We can’t, we can’t, we can’t.

But, of course, we can. We can deliver on the promise of One America. We can leave our Country with a legacy of freedom and opportunity for all people, for all time. We can uplift the downtrodden. We can make our Country whole Again. Wholly American.

Yes, we can. We can, and we will - with the inspiring leadership of President Barak Obama.

Barak Obama, who knows what its like to go hungry as a child. Barak Obama, who has overcome society’s preconceptions and predestinations to ascend within Our Nation’s political system. Barak Obama, whose oratory skills are unrivaled in modern America.

Yes, we can make this world a better place for everyone. Yes, we can elect Barak Obama as the next President of the United States.

Congrats to the Huttons on their newest addition, Harrison Hutton! Harrison was born June 19th - check out photos of Harrison on the Huttons’ Picasa web page. I have a feeling Harrison will be the first boy I will have to be watchful of - Thalia will get to know him from an early age!

Possibly the funniest thing I’ve read in a while…

From Reuters:

BERLIN (Reuters) - A nine-year-old German girl was so upset about having to tidy her room she put up a sign in her window urging passers-by to call police for help.

Pedestrians in the central city of Braunschweig saw the girl crying in the window, holding up a sign up saying “Help! Please call the police!” Next to her sat a small boy. Quickly alerted, officers rushed to the scene to discover the girl had argued with her mother about tidying her room and enlisted her two-year-old brother’s aid to attract attention.

“The room looked like a battlefield,” said a spokesman for local police on Monday. “Officers told the girl to tidy her room. When they came back two hours later to check, it was all cleaned up. And the mother and daughter had made up too.”
