Truth, Justice And The American Way

Linus Van Pelt to Charlie Brown: “You'd either be the hero, or a goat.” Snoopy to Charlie Brown: “Baaaaaaa!”

Tomorrow dear friends, you can make a difference; the difference of choosing to be a super hero or a super goat, that is, when it comes to voting in tomorrow’s general election.

Goats are a dime-a-dozen, as are average heroes, yet the word hero is an overused, misguided word. Heroes not only fight for freedom and save us from peril, but heroes can be looked up to as role models.

The days of truth, justice and the American way have been horribly distorted by the likes of all major, minor and in-between political parties, special interest groups, minority factions, the press and illegal immigrants.

You name it; there’s been every sort of ram-rod effort to break apart the very strength of that great foundation. that we know and love as truth, justice and the American way. We’ve heard the same noises, barking, lies and shifting movements almost every time there’s an election on the horizon. Too many allegations fly and too many revelations spring suddenly forward within days of the actual general election.

These revelations are always saved for a crucial mind-blowing brain-bomb guaranteed to cause a diversion in the overall political race and guaranteed to swing the outcome of the race toward another outcome.

Politicians hire outside firms and use their friends (besides the press) to do the dastardly deed of digging up dirt on their opponent. So when I see this in every election known to man in America, I have to ask myself one question; where is the truth, justice and the American way in slinging mud and all the negatives all around the neighborhood, when it’s the issues at hand that matter the most?

Yet, politicians rely on these negatives to get themselves elected and re-elected to office, both in local and national elections. Truth, justice and the American way; we as citizens of this sovereign nation should demand that, not this petty bullshit scare tactics and yeah, there ought to a law passed against such negative campaign tactics, as it only creates diversions, confusion, chaos and wasted energy.

So, still want to be a super hero? Want your kids, wife, husband, significant other to worship the ground you tread upon and love you for life? Well, pal, get your tuchas out there and vote! That’s a real hero for you.

And in the eyes of truth, justice and the American way, you’d be a true super hero by stepping up to the plate and doing your part for the team by going out and voting!
