An Ideological Battle

 I’m not going to lie. I’m pretty stoked over Romney’s VP pick, Paul Ryan. I watched as he gave his speech at the Norfolk Naval Base earlier today and was impressed- to say the least.  His focus was not solely on the political ideas of Barack Obama, but his ideology. I think that’s what we need to focus on. Let’s not make this an election based just on politics, because that is not what it is. This is an ideological election. This is about who we are. This is about fundamental principles. Where we get our liberties? Are they derived from the government or God? This is about who we are as American people. Are we creatures of entitlement, endless whiners, or hard-working, self-made people? Is America the same as every other country, or is it truly exceptional?

 (Our current President said, “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.” That’s code for no.)

Do we have more faith in government than the American people? Do we believe that the government builds successful business, or do we believe that WE build them ourselves?

(Our current President said, “ -- look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t 
get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. 
I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I 
was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. 
It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line 
gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your 
life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system 
that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads 
and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. 
Somebody else made that happen.”)

Do we believe in fundamentally changing the roots of America, or do we believe in the solid foundation of the Constitution?

(Our current President said, “It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you, but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf.")

This isn’t just a Presidential election. This an ideological battle, and it’s time the American people determine where they stand.

Also, if you want to see Paul Ryan school Obama face it face on healthcare, watch this. (:
