The Journey

I am a hiker. Too most of you that read this that means little, but it helps me understand things a bit. See it gives me time to think , to gain perspective . As I was doing a sixteen mile hike today a thought popped into my head. It is not the destinanation that is important in life, it's the journey itself. I know what you are thinking , what does this have to do with politics?

Sadly I think it is very much intwined with politics. George Washington has the greatest honor in American history. He was the father of a nation. He didn't really want to be. But it was thrust upon him. The struggle for freedom was self evidant. He nearly froze to death , his troops almost froze. Many men died from hardship and wounds. They left home from the families to set us free from tyranny and sadly a lot of men did not come home. Wives and children wept. Shallow graves littered our land. Blood stained the ground men were buried in. We fought the most powerful nation in the world. The best trained Army in the world. And we won. We became a nation onto ourselves. Our forfathers wrote the Articles of Confederation , and The Decleration of Indepandance. They wrote The Bill of Rights. We could of had the nation we dreamed of. What happened though?

We forgot the Journey and reached the Destination. And what happens when we reach the Destination? I would say it is plain to see. We forgot what it took to get us here. And I see that that was a differant time. I saw men of convition. I don't see that today. I see people who say Oh the governmant knows whats best. We need to trust our Gop Leaders. We did that it was our own Journey and well we all see the outcome. We are closing in on depression time levels of unemploymant. We are facing worse than that? You might ask how can I say that? Because of the simple fact that Pontiac survived the Great Depression. It survived and florished, this time it has gone under . G.M. is looking at going under. Ford is willing to make your car paymants for a year if you lose your Job , Saturn is willing to the same thing for up to seven months.

We are entering into a new Journey now. Only God knows the destination, or what this journey is going to take. If it will be a hard journey or an easy one. All I know is this time we need to forge our paths in Iron. We need to be heard one more time. We need the face of the nation to be changed into the hands of the people. We are having record numbers of unemploymany yes, but we also have had record numbers of tea parties of people speeking out. And yes it is a grassroots organization. On July 4th weekend , a few weeks ago was only a number of 20 tea parties, but that number has grown to over 80, and that is just for that weekend. What main stream media doesnt want you to know is the fact there are tea parties going off every weekend. I encourage you to join twitter. Under twitter my name is English_Hale . There is links to differant organizations that are spreading the news. They are organizing tea parties. There is a link for the Campaign for Freedom I encourage everyone to join, under there I am known as Cheval_Hale. Make me a contact and I will be more than willing to help and post.
