Bear with the cheesy production of this video and watch the whole seven minutes.

It gives you a whole different look on what is “Left” and “Right” doesn’t it? It makes one think, what form of government did we intend to have, and what form of government do we currently have?

It then got me thinking about this Presidential coming election. Where do our candidates fall on this type of spectrum? Not a hard task to figure out mind you. But remembering what Robert Hawes said, “Putting a good president in the White House is not enough to restore the Republic.” There has to be more. There has to be complete reform. This starts on the local level and works its way up to Washington. The best way we can start to restore our Republic is to start to restore our communities.

This idea in itself has made be a bit uncomfortable because it reminds me of my own slothfulness and apathy to the situation we find ourselves in. Its so easy to say “The Constitution is dead, there’s nothing we can do about it.” There is something we can do about… read, learn, get involved, and become an agent of change (not the Obama change).

Am I rambling here or does anyone else get me?
