Welcome to 2011. It’s a clean slate full of potential. Those who find mediocrity as an ultimate goal and seek sustenance from the teat of the government, file to the left. For those of you who believe in opportunity with no ceiling for the price of working hard, form a line on the right.

If being proud to be a pebble of the American landscape is elitism then label me a pebble-sized elitist. I think America is the greatest country this planet has ever lifted above the surface of its oceans. And the citizens, not the government, that color its varying elevations red, white and blue have always been the spine of everything that makes this nation great.

Politics have always been politics and, by that, I mean to say just because yellow and blue make green does not mean that blue and green make yellow. There is a huge void in translation that exists between Americans and their lawmakers. There is no instant solution to breaking down the walls of understanding, which separate our nation’s leaders from our nation’s people, but the first step to the solution of keeping America the country we grew up in and love starts with electing Someone Else in 2012.

1,769.4 miles to go.
