Governmental Power and the Breakdown

Surprisingly there's not much that can be said about Mrs. Clinton, or Mister, whichever you prefer. This woman now, currently holds the Secretary of State position and is responsible for the representation of our foreign policies and is often the one person being sent to these foreign countries... and is I believe souly responsible for painting a respectful and trustworthy image of our Nation. The Secretary of State position is widely considered the most "Senior" position in the Presidential Cabinet. And is also the "4th" (Fourth) most powerful position here in the United States. Basically meaning if the Vice President dies, the Speaker of the House, and the President pro tempore of the Senate; Hilary Rodham Clinton would then be the successor and receive the Presidency.

And using her as an example, the position is a position great of honor and should be regarded as such. There are some people in this country that i believe have made it their life's goal to be in a position of power. Some of them being preachers, politicians, lawyers (not much difference between the former), activist groups, and plenty more. While some of these movements and individuals in these categories have at some time reached a point of significance and gained acceptance, time and time again people wake up and these tyrants fade with time. But I dont believe there has EVER been an individual that has, like a viper, slipped into a position of such importance and power. Of course Im referring to our wonderful Secretary of State.

While Im aware that America is the most powerful country in the world and that we have a lot of say in the world opinion. But responses like that which was given at the press conference in the Republic of Congo, was highly inappropriate. And while some people may say, "I would have said the same thing, I mean who asks about my husband and expects me to give an answer... She gave a the same response any NORMAL person would have." First off, Hillary Rodham Clinton is not a "Normal" woman. She's The Secretary of State, of the most powerful country in the world. She has been on the Board of Directors for Wal-Mart, served as a United States Senator, ran for the president of the United States, and is now the Secretary of State. What "normal" person has pursued their ambitions so avidly? The normal American is consumed with self, worry, materialism, entitlement, disrespect, and dishonor. It doesn't sound to me like, I'd want a "normal" person to act as my President, much less the Secretary of State. A person in this position should have character qualities emulating, integrity, patience, selflessness, and pride for ones country. These are all qualities that are OBVIOUSLY lacking in today's America. Sadly we're being led by people who lack these same character traits. Americans are lied to, manipulated, and pushed aside. And if Hillary has the "Normal" American qualities... frankly.. what is she doing in the Secretary of State position? And that goes for any others in positions of power that seriously lack these qualities that are required in a position of such great power?

Honestly how many policies that are introduced and passed, are desired by the majority? The politicians "WE" have put in place are ignoring the constituents and pursuing an agenda of self-indulging power and overall destruction of what "real" American patriots have fought for.

Like freedom. America has been involved in several conflicts in which we have fought against dictators and communism itself... While we sit pompously upon our "Super-Power" thrown and gloat in our so-called freedom while we ourselves are becoming what we hate.

This path is "DIRECTLY" attributed to those in this country that seek power. And instead of looking at power as an opportunity to serve, they look at it as a milestone and a status in self-honor. Its almost as if these positions are sought after only to feel good about self. "If you want to feel good about yourself, get liposuction or breast implants." Don't pursue an agenda that is ultimately leading America down a path that goes against what America has stood for.

Which I believe is Freedom ultimately. Freedom from Governmental tyranny. America itself became sovereign when it chose to rebel against its governmental rulers. Why? Because those individuals who were in Power were in fact there for that reason. Americans were taxed, and oppressed by their own rulers. They were dictated to the point where Freedom was seemingly non-existent. When the New World provided opportunity for change, we, the Americans, the Rebels, seized that opportunity. And together with our rulers and government we built a nation to be envied. And now as a country not too much older than 200 years we have done something no other country in this world has ever achieved. America is a dynasty and a symbol of freedom. However that image within our hearts is changing. America is being ran by the government instead of led. The ultimate design of government is to protect not dictate.

The modern American has this twisted view, and see a Senator, Representative, a Secretary of State, or a President as person of unattainable power. A person who is almost more than human. But they fail to realize that they weren't ordained by a god. They were voted into office by people like yourself. They're human. While they MUST carry traits that MOST humans dont have themselves... they are in fact human. And are in position by our own error. While we ultimately did vote them into office... their goal as our governmental representation is to "represent" the common needs and opinion of Americans. Not their own. So at times a politician "SHOULD" lay down their own personal ambitions, agendas, beliefs, and goals, and speak for the people not themselves. America isn't in need of Health Care reform. we're in need of a governmental reform.

The majority of the American Administration is in fact in it for power and they've lost site of what authority really is. Authority is a form of power, but its not to be imposed. Its to serve. Serve your people, dont look at them as constituents, and your ticket to power and glory. When we vote an individual into office we EXPECT them to speak for us, not themselves. There should be no respect for political parties... and those in office should represent the common consensus and opinions of America despite their own.
