INTRODUCING
RUSS LIMBO
Am I a Democrat,
Republican or Independent? I am all of these things, sort of. I consider myself
a Social Liberal and a Fiscal Conservative. I am a staunch supporter of
equality and the civil guarantees set forth in our Constitution. I believe that
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are the inherent rights of all human
beings.
I try to take the people’s position in all
political arguments. These facts make me an independent freethinking American
and take me down the middle of the political road.
I will address the everyday problems of the
average American. Your comments will help US all arrive at solutions to those
problems. With all of the spin going on, it is sometimes difficult to see the
forest for the trees. Together, we may be able to determine “What really is and
what isn’t”, or more simply put, “The Truth”.
I promise to prowl the internet looking at
current events, politics and the state of the world around us and then offer my
own “Brand” of commentary. Sometimes I will be serious; sometimes I will look
at the humorous side of life. I promise
that I will try to keep it interesting.
First of all… let me tell you what I think
about US… you know, “We the People”.
We are the US in the USA !
Politics as usual are getting pretty boring.
With all the office holders glad-handing, taking photo ops, grandstanding for
the press and hurling insults at one another, nothing important to the people…
you know… US, is being done.
Crime is rampant, our boarders have more
holes than a good Swiss cheese, people are out of work, the economy falters and
the balance of trade is way out of balance. None of our favorite sons seems to
care, they are so busy doing everything but the work entrusted to them;
governing The United States of America.
Being a Republican or a Democrat used to mean
something. You could be proud of your congressman or senator. People loved
their president. America made things and exported them to everybody. The
Japanese made junk and the Chinese made babies. Africa was a place where the
wealthy went hunting. Everyone on the planet looked up to US.
Where did we go wrong?
I don’t know if I can put my finger on all of
it, but I know a few things that are wrong;
We don’t play as a team any longer.
We have forgotten that all people are equal.
We don’t take the responsibility for our own
actions, we blame our neighbors, we blame immigrants, we blame the other
political party and we blame God.
Our elected leaders and political candidates use
hatred, innuendo, and fear instead of the truth and the facts in order to
influence US.
We have forgotten where we came from, who we
are and where we need to go.
It is time we remembered.
We are the US in the USA, the citizens of the
United States of America. We are a democracy, a republic and we are still the
most powerful nation on this earth. We can do anything we set our minds to.
We need to stop fighting with each other and
work together to solve our problems. We must lay the blame aside and begin to
cooperate with each other once more and fix what is broken in our country.
The road to our recovery will not be an easy
one. We will need every citizen; White, Black and Brown, Straight and Gay,
Christian, Buddhist, Muslim and Jew all pulling in the same direction. We must
become what we started out to be, “One nation under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all”.
We can still reach our American Dream, but we
must reach it side by side, marching together,
or we will have accomplished nothing.
And
that is how I see it…
