May America’s renewed resplendency, usurp the paroxysm that took us into deep and unforgiving waters….

Apart form the light heartedness in the photo, on a more serious note the fracas that is exuberated on a daily basis for one year and counting, with the [GOP] Republican Voters trying to decide on a nominee, is the result of the Republicans previous control of the White House, The Senate, The House of Representatives and a Right-Wing Supreme Court Majority, from 2001 through 2008. They the Republicans, crashed and burned our country’s resources, literally bankrupted us and left us for dead.

So, it is only natural that the turn out for all of the Republican Primaries in this Presidential cycle has been far less than in previous elections. However, I do believe that the more centrist Republican Voters who faced down economic death with all of us, they too are sane enough to see that the wantonness that was perpetrated by their reckless leaders that almost caused our economic demise, they too, see better days are here again, even though we still have an uphill battle in order to put our country back on track.

As a reminder to all of us: we were losing jobs at the rate of 800,000 per month during 2008; banks were going bankrupt by the hundreds, wiping out people’s life savings; the uncontrolled Pariahs of Wall Street along with the Mortgage Companies and a complacent Government, wrecked the lives of tens of millions of home owners because of Wall Street “Ponzie Scheme” titled “Derivates; two unpaid wars; two unpaid tax cuts during a time of war that was never heard of in any time in our history, people are beginning to see the “light” at the end of a very long and dark tunnel.

We have a steady growth in the Job sector, not as much as we all would like but we are getting there slowly but surely; a stock market that fell to 6,500 in 2008 is today well over the 13,000 mark; consumer confidence is getting better and yes, in the grey dawn an era of hope is being ushered in again, but if you listen to the people that are aspiring to be the GOP Nominee and their supporters, including HACKING MURDOCH FOX NEWS, you would never know that good tidings are rolling our way.

They blame President Obama for the massive National Debt when in fact, they the Republicans ran up the debt by placing all charges and future charges on the Chinese Credit Card, and when the bills came due, they refused to pay by holding hostage an increase in the “debt ceiling,” that catapulted our AAA ratings.   

As a business owner I am truly optimistic about the future of America and the world, but I am also frightened on the inside about the capriciousness, lackadaisical; uninformed electorate, that allows their emotions to be their guide in the decisions they make when they enter the Voting Booth!

May the wisdom in the words that Emil Brunner invoked; “What oxygen is to the lung, such is hope for the meaning of life,” become our mantle and not our ember, so that the wicks from our lamps at this moment, becomes the resplendency of the morning sun!
