THE PARTIES OVER

When there were no more STATESMEN, and we chose to choose politicians instead, the Parties were over. Then, must a United People rise with the dawn of a new sun, to ensure that the country is once again, one.

I remember my grandmamma telling me that five of her sons were in WWII, all at the same time. Every night she prayed for each by name, and all returned home. It was a time without blogs, without cell phones, voicemail or even PCs, and thankfully, a time without self-serving talking heads, in a shouting frenzy, to paint a United People, with their own particular bias of Blue or Red.

It was a time of fewer college students telling Leno & Matthews they're for the war, but unavailable to attend. It was a time of FDR, Churchill, Truman, Macarthur, Patton, & of a young sailor named Kennedy. A time when many, many sons, brothers, husbands and nurses reminded us, of a man named Pat Tillman.

It was a time before Red & Blue States, for we were happy to be one nation then -- a nation with a history and Constitution to "preserve, protect and defend."

It was a time before we plugged in our laptops and tuned out with Ipods. A time when we had leaders worthy of our respect, and a time when leaders heeded our retrospect. It was a time before a President in fear of his own military establishment, lost the nation nearly 60,000 lives, much like now, when government sacrifices young lives, with their lies.

Nobody is listening, but everybody's talking. Republicans in dresses, chasing pages, refusing to pay for bridges; While the Democrats run scared of the masses. It's a time for no Parties, for the Parties are no longer sober; And the Reds just don't care, why the Blues want this war to be over.

In a time when political primaries are used for urinating competitions between States, I say the Parties are over. The Reds hate the Gays, but praise the troops with all but equipment funds. The Blues run in circles, still not believing how much they've won.

McCain fading away like an old soldier; The ghost Gingrich of Christmas past, lurking in the shadows; Better on TV screen Thompson, missing in action; Romney aimlessly paving Iowa streets with green, while sparing his sons from Iraqi screams; Edwards ranting in desperation; Rove is out. Hillary is in, and Obama, as yet no favorite son, thunders on, to the end.

Now is the time for a United People to make those who would lead us, follow our lead. The time has come for the Red & Blue to add a little White back in too. It's time to reclaim our heritage of Red, White & Blue and Black, & Yellow & Native Red and Brown, that has always been, what keeps our feet on the ground.

So let's, United People assure the Blues, that they have our support in uniting the Reds, to override the Right. Then our Nation can stand proud and tall, on an infrastructure that does not fall.
