Primitive Politics: The Journey

Viewpoint

My name is Patrick M McCormick and I have created this blog as a platform for my political views as well as those of select contributors.

I believe that American Politicians have lost sight of their goal: To uphold the Constitution and protect the rights of the people of the United States. They argue and bicker on the floor of their respective houses, positioning themselves for the next election, while they accomplish very little business for the citizens of this country.

Meanwhile our economy is sliding downward. Millions of our precious jobs have have been exported overseas. Our social safety net and other public services are being cut. Our middle class is rapidly disappearing and the numbers of citizens existing below the poverty line is increasing dramatically.

I plan to examine the causes of these terrible changes to our American way of life. Your comments will help us all arrive at some important conclusions.


All Mountains are Climbed one step at a time

On any journey you may make
   Upon life's garden path,
The most important step to take
   Is your first step, not your last.
Many men are blessed with dreams,
   New visions great and small.
Few are those that take that step
   Before their moment falls.
