Tenet #2: The right thing to do is the best that we can do. Tent #3: Admitting when we’re wrong takes courage; fixing the wrong takes integrity. Tenet #4: People of character do not fear being questioned or challenged; they welcome honest discourse and the finding of fact. Tenet #5: Corruption is the driver of greed, with self-interest and a fear of losing power its’ parasitic passengers. Tenet #6: Know what matters most. Stand up and speak the truth as you know it, or shut up and suffer the consequences. Tenet #7: There is no such thing as reverse discrimination; there is only discrimination. Tenet #8: Discrimination exists and it comes in many forms; good people control it by intellect, manipulators conceal it with semantics. Tenet #9: Affirmative Action is a form of discrimination; judging one by the content of their character is the antidote. Tenet #10: Our Founding Fathers had it right: Character matters, and term limits compliment good government.

Don't buy into the feigned indignation. We must go about living our imperfect lives attempting to rise above the "misinformation" (we used to just call it "lies"). You get what you pay for. We the people bought snake oil from multiple salesmen. The good news: sooner or later, we had to get to this point as a call-to-arms. Take comfort in knowing that this sleeping giant of a country IS waking up, albeit slowly. But our present dilemma goes well beyond those currently holding office. Our culture has changed (courtesy of our centers for higher education). My concern remains that our countrymen may become SO bitter with myopic and unethical "leaders" that we may swing too far to the right. If enough of us keep God and family first, perhaps we'll be lucky and see another Reagan-like leader again.
