Each day is a day of the book of life to read to learn what is to make a better tomorrow.  - STG

After listening to the Palin speech last night I was overwhelmed.  And that is really what a good speech and the conventions are for. 

 

So now is the time to discuss the issues.

1) Energy - People continue to say we are in an "energy crisis".  What we really have here is an "energy opportunity".  Why, because we have the most resourceful and brightest minds in the entire world who are working everyday to find new and innovative ways to power our lives.  So I say ENOUGH of the energy crisis and let's do what Americans do and take this ENGERY OPPORTUNITY.  With enough devotion of the American people we have an opportunity to create another industrial revolution not seen sense the early 1900's. 

 

2) Economy - If anyone who is at all cognoscente of what an economy does they know that it goes up and it goes down.  That is what economies do.  In this country we have placed the responsibility of the rules by which our economy function both domestically and internationally in the hands of elected officials, from mayors, governors, to senators, to congress persons, to the President. Domestically it is governed by taxes and incentives. (This post is not a comment on social issues so the social aspect of the governments' role will not be address) Internationally it is governed by tariffs and trade agreements with other countries.  The Secretary of Treasury looks at all aspects of these things and with guided motive assists the economy.  Then the elected officials take the money that is available from revenue, which happens to be what is provided to them by taxes of successful people and business.  Or in some cases loans and bonds.  And who are actually contributing to the government’s funds and increasing their cost to operate is just not logical.  This is not where the changes should be made to happen, it is where they end.  Thousands of pages have to be written to cover this concept, so this is by no means a something that can be written in a few words.  But what can be said in just a few words is "No More Taxes".  So if John McCain and Sarah Palin do what it is they do, reduce the unnecessary spending, (earmarks) and lower the burden of taxes to business and individuals the economy will naturally become stronger.

 

3) Security - I would love to see the mode of the way in which some portray the need for safety as a defensive burden.  It is without saying that there will and always be the need to secure anything of value.  That means physically or socially.  So if we could just take the simple step of moving to the concept of safety over misusing our defense we not only make the concept a better way to approach our allies, but it still makes it very clear we will do whatever is necessary to ensure that safety.  The United States of America has the best military in the world and to use it as a debate topic is insulting to the very core of what it is.  There is not one party that can claim the military as it's own.  The military, all branches, are here for and to provide safety to each and every person both domestically and internationally. 

 

In closing I look forward to Mr. John McCain's speech tonight, not because it is entertainment, but because I believe it will do what an American of his caliper will do as the next president of these United States.
