In the upcoming election, it is a battle of image; it is also a battle of ego versus inspiration. In terms of preserving our young republic, we are a critical moment, will we be the industrious, innovative trail blazers of the past, or will we continue to run the country into the ground with ‘ego’ based policy.
You are probably wondering what I mean by ‘ego’ based policy. To me, it means a policy that is based on pride and posturing. It is a mentality of adolescence. In my middle school years, I would get in a fight over a crush with a friend, or would let the air out of a friend’s tires for disagreeing on where to go in a friendly bike ride. What is my point? The point is, those things are a normal part of development if you are 12 years old. Those types of behavior are not normal if you are the leader of the presumed powerhouse of the world.
John McCain has made it clear through his posturing that he wants to expand the U.S. Empire. He has made it clear that he is willing to attack a country based on minor insults or upon a rumor of hearing something he feels is disrespectful. Like I said, that is ok if you are 12 years old, the problem is, there are no ‘take backs’ when the missiles start to fly.
