"O God and Heavenly Father,
Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."
- The Serenity Prayer
Vote at the local level. Vote for your Governor, your Mayor, your City Council, Sheriff, Judges, ballot measures that can make or break the future. Vote a Dog for Mayor, vote for your hamlet's "Village Idiot." Vote by Your Conscience, Brush-Up on the Issues Facing your Area, Brush-Up on your Candidates' stances and Make a Difference around your neck-of-the-woods. Patriotism's heart, lies in non-partisan ideals, that your vote, your voice, influences the world around you and your home. Take pride in your community, vote, and keep the home fires burning. Some may say, that it's irresponsible to let (any one) of these nuts, into the White House. It's EVEN MORE irresponsible, to not vote on the Local Level, and to a good close second, the State Level.
Now, Me and a few of my friends (from Young Bucks, to Grandfathers) have come to the conclusion, that not a soul of sound mind and constitution, can reasonably choose between an Egotistical and Thin-Skinned Blowhard, a Flip-Flopping and Pathological Liar, a Discrediting Idiot, and a Hippy Eco-Facist. Therefore, we are ABSTAINING from voting for the highest office in the land. If You choose between the lesser of evils, you still choose E-V-I-L, Period. Our votes don't count a dime exactly for the Presidency. Unless you're Jeff Bridges, the Electoral College will do as it sees fit for themselves first, and the country... Well... Somewhere down the list. If you believe you need to vote for the next residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, District of Columbia, 20500, then go right ahead and do so (it's all about the bluest blood to the First President anyway). You do you, and I'll do me; agree to disagree, and respect each other's decisions.
The District of Columbia, doesn't mean a dime, and frankly, Will Rogers' words matter more now, than ever before:
"You can't beat an Administration by attacking it. You have to show some plan of improving on it."
"But I must get back from these political parties and get back to civilization, for there's nothing in common between politics and civilization."
"Talk about our civilization! Why, if they ever took a sanity test at a political convention, 98 per cent would be removed to an asylum."
"On account of us being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
"Imagine a man in public office that everybody knew where he stood. We wouldn't call him a statesman, we would call him a curiosity."
"In this country, people don't vote for; they vote against."
"A statesman is a man that can do what the politician would like to do but can't, because he is afraid of not being elected."
"If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con,' what is the opposite of Congress?"
No wonder there's a statue of him in Congress! These days, Horse and Common Sense, are far and lacking. If you made it this far, just let us be. This is why I love Dogs... They Do NOTHING for Political Reasons, even when they're the Mayor of a town:
