It's Time To Return Civility To American Politics!

source: http://philsview.wordpress.com

While I do not know what millions upon millions of Americans think about the current status of our political system, I personally have had it. I am tired of the political strategists, pundits, politicians who have no chance of being elected president, Democrats and Republicans, people who so easily refer to the states in which voters reside as red, blue, or in some cases, purple. As a matter of fact, the last time I checked my own political ideology and party affiliation, no color of any sort was associated with my being an American first.

I see our current political system in disarray and the only way I see America moving forward under either President Obama or the next President of the United States will depend on whether we, the American voters, demand that civility be put back into our politics. So, in an attempt to help put civility back into our politics and further my desire to change politics as usual in America, I have developed a simple guide to help voters like myself. This guide is intended to help others how to become knowledgeable of different political ideologies and includes some basic tools that can be used achieve a greater awareness and understanding of them.

Absent anyone else to my knowledge who is attempting to do I am attempting to do here, it is my hope that my efforts will serve as a catalyst to further discussions on this extremely import issue. After all, America can only be as great as the people who ultimately elect their politicians to represent their interests at the local, state, and federal levels.

And it is my belief that our individual political ideology is based on our respect for the political ideology of others regardless of party affiliation, civil discourse, a willingness to work together across party lines in the best interest of America and its people, and ultimately, exercising the lost art of legislative compromise.

I welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions that will help me further develop this guide. To view my "Guide to Political Awareness and Understanding," please visit http://philsview.wordpress.com

    • Political civility has led to the current corporate bankrupting, disenfranchising and enslavement of the American people, because only the people have been engaging in political civility. Corporate America has been operating covertly and insidiously to overthrow the very tenants of our constitution and democracy since the founding of this country. Today, we are on the mat in a corner, with no option but to fight our way out, if we are not to be chained and balled in that corner. Political civility is for a time when we have liberated ourselves from that corner of oppression and deprivation, and can afford a civil and leisurely conversation.

      Good! Because it wasn't intended to be funny at all. It is intended to be deadly serious, because as in Japan, many lives have been sacrificed to bring us to where we are today, and many more are being lost as we email one another. Yet, more lives than necessary will be lost if we don't stop the decades long march on and against America.

      As the force of the Tsunami against Japan could not be stopped, the force of the people united can not be stopped by Corporate forces, if the people choose to move ahead.
