The Balanced Center

With all of the commotion from the Democratic and the Republican rallies, I've noticed a couple of things. One, this is the most emotional debate by far, which can make for a confusing situation. With all of the special interest groups involved, emotions are at an all time high, and this can tend to make things very cloudy and difficult to judge. Two, I've seen a lot of debating going on between people I come in contact with on a regular basis. Of course, everyone thinks they're right and the other is wrong. In the midst of all of this, we ask ourselves, "with all the special reports, debates, conventions and between all the hype and the applause, how can we know and discern the right path to take when it comes time to cast our vote?"

I read an excellent book by W. Cleon Skousen called "The 5000 Year Leap, The 28 Great Ideas That Changed the World."The book discusses the 28 principles that our Founding Fathers used in founding our country that propelled our society forward enabling our country to accomplish in 200 years what had not been accomplished in the last 5,000. The greatest accomplishment though, in creating our government, was establishing checks and balances through the 3 separate but unified branches of government. Herein lies the secret to sifting through the pleasantries of talk that can be "sweet to the ears," and knowing if a candidate's ideology will be good for our country and our futures, or not.

The three heads of the eagle represent the three branches of our government. From left to right, Executive, Legislative (House and Senate), and the Judicial. The left wing is the problem solving wing of our government. The right wing is the conservation wing of our government.

The problem solving contingency within our government are the big thinkers who produce elaborate schemes to solve problems. The conservative contingency poses two questions in relation to the first groups proposed solutions:

1. Can we afford it?
2. What will it do to the rights and individual freedom of the people?

If the problem solving wing runs away with solutions and the conservation wing does not stop them then liberty is gradually given over to a tyrant. If the conservation wing completely sterilizes the government then the government is in danger of losing authority and anarchy results. A constant and unrelenting guard on government is necessary to preserve our liberty.

No where here does it say Republican or democrat, black or white, male or female. Our decision should not be one of emotion based on a particular party, race or gender; but should be considered based on political power and Who Has It. What it says is there's a Balanced Center called People's Law. And our system was based on that position right of People's Law right between tyranny and anarchy, careful not to move towards one or the other. This is empowering for each of us as individuals for we are all part of this decision making process. We can Master the Context, and see through the hype and emotion as we go cast our ballots for the individual that seeks to serve the interest of preserving this proven system of government. We don't need handouts, we need the freedom to enterprise and own property which is what our great "experimental" system was built on.

Governmental candidates then should be chosen based on their history of preserving the balanced center giving each individual the power to worship their God, own property, and protect themselves as pertaining to the laws of the state. In the case of government, "Less is More." And when it comes time to make a decision, vote for the individual who will preserve our liberties by Keeping an Unrelenting Guard on Government. You have the power.

Keep Moving Forward.
