I believe that far too many elections today have become beauty pageants, or worse, popularity contest more than qualifications based upon a person's experience and abilities. I believe that the more our newest and youngest electorate gets to make decisions what with their pitiful educational training in Civics and our Nation's historical records and documents, that elections or popularity contest of the most beautiful people rather than their qualifications, intelligence, and experience will set our Nation on a course for eventual failure of the governing class.
I foresee a day where good intentions rule the day but cunning deceptions and misplaced agendas control the Nation's direction for the future of generations to come. Will our Nation see an actual end to Capitalism and a rise or reliance upon Socialism or, God forbid, some form of Communism in a future American Government? When you eliminate the teaching and learning of our past history then you at times, are said to be doomed to repeat it. The "Greatest Generation's" leaders are dying out and are becoming history themselves and those who are replacing them are leaders without appreciation for sacrifice and the things that made America exceptional and great. We are developing future leaders that seem intent upon appeasement of enemies and total avoidance of conflict with a greater emphasis on theories and ideology rather than experience and historical approaches that have proven themselves over time but unfortunately are not confined in some attractive packages so it's feasible to imagine that at some future time we elect and install leaders which do not have the where with all, guts, or ability, to make difficult decisions to counter tyrants or people that are ruthless and guided by the worst of human traits, despicable leaders that come around every so often that are capable of such horrendous things that only our imaginations can conceive of their limits, if there are any. d
I don't believe that the Alabama elections have become a vision into the future of politics but it is evident that accusations have come to rule over elections far more than evidence or fact and that it my become possible that we face a future of elections where the same ole race baiting and economic tag lines don't work as well and are replaced by charges of sexual harassment and sexual abuse for they have discovered that accusations carry as much weight as actual convictions or evidence and can sway the result of an election in even the most partisan of areas allowing a liberal Democrat to win in the most Reddest/Republican (Conservative) of States.
