I have been thinking about my blog recently and I think I will make some changes. As my readers know, I have blogged often and openly about my political views. And, yes my opinions are correct. I mean who can argue with common sense? Balance the budget, impose a straight tax, stop illegal immigration, govern by the Constitution, etc, etc, And the hypocrisy within the parties just irritates me beyond belief. For example, why did the 100 or so Occupy Wall Street protesters walk past George Soros' house yesterday in their "millionaire protest march" and head straight for Republican and conservative suites in NY? Strange isn't it?
Of course I am talking tongue in cheek when I say that my political views are correct. But really, that is the point. I have my political views and I think they are correct based on my moral beliefs, my upbringing, my education of the facts, my understanding of past history, and what just seems like common sense to me. Others have views that are opposite due to their circumstances and understandings. And some people are simply evil and don't care about the good of people or a nation. They are simply following failed ideologies.
But, I am coming to the conclusion that it is useless and a waste of time to blog about politics. 99% of my readers agree with 99% of what I write politically. I am quite sure that I have never, ever changed the opinion of a lefty, progressive, Marxist, communist. So I am not going to write about politics as much as I have in the past (but I am not going to stop altogether). I will be educated and ready to discuss politics with anyone that wants to ask my opinion or to try to convince me of their differing opinion, but I am going to focus on other areas of my life when writing my blog.
I think topics like leadership, and daily lessons learned, and regular people doing extraordinary things, and memorable experiences make for more interesting topics anyway.
But before I go, did you hear Herman Cain is leading the national GOP polls now?
