If I Were President

Against my own better judgement, I have started a new blog titled "If I Were President". It's a place for me to record my views on what's right and wrong with America. For many years I've felt that there is no one in the popular press reporting anything other than the party line. It's hard to find a truly unique view on the issues of the day. Politicians will never say the things I say, even if they believe my ideas to be valid. A politician is more concerned with saying what he thinks will earn him votes; He would never risk losing votes by speaking his mind and voicing an unpopular view. Apparently, a politician's real job is not to serve, but to be elected and re-elected.

My father has always told me that I have more smarts than common sense, and this new blog may well prove his point. Speaking one's mind in a straight-forward fashion seems like a good idea to me, but it's gotten me into trouble more than once. In this new blog you'll have no doubt as to where I stand on various issues regarding America and Americans.

Anyway, if you want to read my ramblings, you'll find them at http://randy-ifiwerepresident.blogspot.com/. Please start reading from the bottom of the page to the top, reading the oldest posts first. You've been warned.
