What Becomes to Fill the Void

Vision in shades of gray is akin to viewing the domain of what is possible through the narrow scope of a straw; we void both depth and texture and omit a far greater perspective. We need only remove the filter to expose ourselves to the fullness of the unobstructed spectrum and be relieved to discover that color has been present all along. 

As the GOP nomination process decelerates to a final resolution there will be several unanswered questions in search of answers; the American People will need to find them and it is my hope that they will be disciplined in expressing their interests

November 2012: Why Gingrich Matters

FIRST: Political Operatives have long misunderstood the Independent Vote. They’ve interpreted this block as a political, philosophically, hybrid and this is not the case at all. The Independent is apolitical and outcome-specific centered and largely views social issues as incompatible with the role of government. They want and look for deliberate and focused leadership and they don’t care from what side of the political spectrum it comes from. Further, the notion of what becomes defined as Social-Issues are, decidedly, nothing more than political-teasing whose appeal trend toward the polar of left/right of Independent; hard-left Democrat or hard-right Republican. The GOP’s failure to grasp this simple attribute is why Dole and McCain lost and why Reagan beat Carter.

The Media, The Mindless and The Sanctimonious

While NBC, CBS and nearly every other Media Outlet castigates Rick Santorum for his religious views it is becoming increasingly apparent that the newsworthy item of interest is not so much that he has a religious mantle but more so that the Media doesn’t approve of him expressing a stand different from that of the Secular-Statist and their agenda. 

Come now, every Human Being is a composition of theology in one form or another; either deity-based or non-deity-based but a theology none-the-less. To believe that we approach the table of life void of any deference to an ethereal value is pure lunacy and decidedly mindless; even if one holds to this position it is itself an expression of ethereal deference if only for the reason that to do so requires one to acknowledge that there is an opposing view.
