“I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared.”

- Thomas Jefferson

After two long-suffering years of these unbelievably left policies of The Democrats and The Obama Administration, I am so thankful to finally be able to see the November – midterm elections on the near horizon. It’s hard to believe that only a little over two years ago, I too was a Democrat. It was after doing hours of reading, on the history of political parties in our country; their platforms over the years; and free-market economics, that I came to realize, in principle, I really am a Jeffersonian Republican.

That being said, it won’t be hard for one to surmise that I will likely be voting Republican in November. If for no other reason, it will be to restore a little more balance in our Federal Government, in hopes that the pendulum will start to swing the other way, toward a smaller government, and a more stable economy.

While I am trying very hard to be optimistic for the future of our country; and while I am heartened to see so many Americans waking up to the political and economic realities that are now facing our country, I still find myself having trouble to be overly optimistic about The Republicans coming back to power in D.C. While I am very thankful to The Bush Administration for their strong and relentless fight against the terrorists after 911, there seemed to be very little effort to control our national debt, while growing the federal government, exponentially. Of course, in retrospect, the amount of debt accrued under The Bush Administration, seems almost welcoming in comparison to the debt accrued by The Obama Administration. Regardless, let’s face it, both parties, especially over the last 10 years, have played vital parts in placing our country on its current trajectory.

Some people will argue: after spending two years in the wilderness, and after much reflection, The Republicans have learned the error of their ways - this very well may be true; however, our country is in a very precarious state right now, and if sound, conservative, policies are not put in place, our country may not get another chance to reverse course, and not spiral out of control.

This video is a Budweiser commercial tribute for 911. It was only aired once. This video is VERY touching, and should be viewed by every American! 

Thank you Anheuser! Patriots, indeed!
