The third option

Karen Benater of Spring, Texas offers a third option to "more of the same" or "something new, and possibly better" according to columnist Peggy Noonan for this election year. "It’s the option staring us right in the face: start taking personal responsibility in our own lives and in our involvement in our country’s affairs. We have become a culture obsessed with blaming others, in particular the government, and not taking personal responsibility. We each have a responsibility to vote, pay off our debts, save our own money and teach our children that no one owes them anything. I do not expect my government to give me hope, to take care of and educate my kids, buy my home or pay off my student loans. Those responsibilities are mine... I am an American and I am proud to be here. ... The day I hate America is the day... I will pack my bags and leave. ... Since when have our leaders become our enemies?... Our world is different (after 9-11). Not because we were ‘under Republican stewardship,’but because we were reminded that we do have enemies. Let’s be clear about who they are."

Yes, Karen, your expressed opinion in the Wall Street Journal yesterday solves the present financial and moral crisis in America. Let’s be clear who are our enemies: #1. The terrorists who wish to destroy us and the America for which we stand and #2., the liberals who wish to destroy us and the America for which they do not stand. We must employ your third option, Karen, from Spring, Texas - a name that reminds me it is not figuratively springtime in America, it is literally fall. It is an autumn election one month hence, a time to exercise your third option of personal responsibility. Vote against the Obama/ Biden’s socialist agenda of governmental interference in every aspect of our lives. After the election, vote with your consciences to live responsibly as Karen suggests no matter who wins the White House. Freedom still exists; when it ceases to exist, I’m with Karen, I will pack my bags and leave my beloved country because it left me.
