5ive weeks to the day!

The election has snuck up on us. In five weeks, we will have a new Congress and Senate. In five weeks, the President might have his mandate or might be beaten and broken.

I wrote yesterday about the importance of listening. The President gave a speech last week at the National Black Caucus where he used the words “it’s not the man it’s the plan.” Some might just chalk this up to another attempt to drum up support.

But we must not be hasty to chalk this up to campaign rhetoric. The president is talking about the plan of the progressive liberal. He is talking about the power of government, social justice and the slow attempt to take away liberty and freedom.

Part of the plan is to divide and make this country into political groups. Instead of having one face, this country now has a multitude of faces. They are; white, black, hispanic and asian, gay, straight, environmentalist, the NRA, old, young, animal rights activists, socialist, communist, atheist, Christian and Muslim. These are but just a few groups that now represent the faces in the crowd that want a piece of the pie. I didn’t say the dream, I said the piece of pie.

These groups identify with the politician that will give them the piece of pie, but won’t let them know how much it will cost. The cost is taxation without representation. The cost is less liberty, less freedom and your inability to make sound decisions for your family and your posterity.

Another part of the plan is to work through the fringes of the Constitution. The liberal will legislate and the conservative will amend. The liberal will ensure that liberal judges legislate from the bench and the conservative would hope that appointed judges interpret the law based on the intent of the Constitution. The liberal would do away with our founding documents so that social justice would tip the scales of justice to the many faces in the crowd.

The importance of the next five weeks boils down to one thing, listen to what is being said and being told. Listen to the words and be prepared to ask questions. Be prepared to react like Velma Hart. She told the president she was tired of supporting him. This was not a black woman speaking; it was an American who put aside race and the many faces to give the president a message. If you had heard her on the radio you might not have noticed her color, but you would have noticed her message. Her words were not distortions of reality, or fact.

The President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, paid a visit to the U.N. last week, as our president addressed the general assembly. The president of Iran spoke two times and our president spoke once. The president of Iran humiliated the U.S., once again, while our president is still willing to speak with the Iranian president. Ahmadinejad knew what he was doing and our president didn’t know. If you listen to the Iranian president, his speech should scare you. His meeting with the New Black Panthers and the Minister Louis Farrakahn should alarm you. If you listened to the words, you would realize these people are working against us instead of fighting for us.

It is possible that some U.S. presidents are weak and when they are, we become weak. It is possible that some U.S. presidents will distort the meaning of words, so that the image becomes distorted. It is possible that some in Congress will go along with a weak president and live the distortion. It is possible that some Americans see through all of this and it is possible that they listen and their vote becomes the reality.

In five weeks, we have an opportunity to make Congress work for us and to make it accountable. In five weeks, we start the journey to 2012. No distortion, just fact. In five weeks we can tell the man that the plan is not working!

A foot note: In five weeks a new plan will be enacted. In five weeks the old plan will be rejected.
