Blind loyalty to political party

By Armstrong Williams - 02/26/13 10:44 AM ET

People who are unaffiliated with a political party, while sometimes thought of as being indecisive, are actually people who demonstrate the ability to think for themselves. Anyone who is blindly loyal to the platform of a political party has given up their God-given right to exercise their independent thought processes. They degrade their own worth.

If we are to solve the massive economic problems facing our nation, we will need innovative independent thinkers from all walks of life. They can contribute to solutions that will eventually benefit all of us, rather than blindly following the dictates of a political power structure that is only interested in its own self-aggrandizement.

"We the People" need to awaken to the sad fact that our nation is being exploited by both political power structures. They pass laws that apply to the masses and not themselves. They become adolescents and point fingers when this nation face devastating challenges and cries out for principle leadership. They manipulate the American people with lies, rhetoric and deceit, and continuously exploit the ignorance and lack of understanding of the people who elected them. 

How is it possible that the best and brightest in the executive and legislative branches of our government can't find common-sense solutions on the critical issues that confront us today ?  We need to focus less on electing the intellectual and Ivy League elite of our nation and return farmers, factory workers, carpenters, teachers, law enforcement and military leaders to the highest offices of the land. When electing the individuals that our Congress envisioned during our founding, we will return a modicum of common sense and true leadership to our nation. When this happens, then and only then will America return to the pinnacle of spiritual and economic success.
