I figure it this way… I’m being accused of being a racist because I want to have a meaningful “interview” with each of the candidates for this job, not just the conservative candidate. So if I’m already wearing some leftist’s label, why the devil should I care about political correctness anyway?

Let’s call a spade a spade (no, I mean no reference to race with that comment… nice try though). We need to stop the flow of illegal immigration. No, not just from Mexico. We need to stop giving away the benefits of our citizens to those who are not willing to go through the process of becoming a legal citizen. Period.

We need to call every single person on using race as an issue and draw a clear distinction between the discussion of cultural tendencies and racial bias. We need to clarify the “U.S. Culture” – maybe write a U.S. Philiosphy and U.S. Mission Statement. Oh wait, that’s done — Declaration of Independence and The U.S. Consititution. Okay scratch those off the to-do list.

We need to elect somebody who will use his or her experience and the blind eye of justice to do what is right, not what one person or another person thinks is “fair” — what is right for America. That doesn’t include instituting a socialist government. That doesn’t include trying to mess with the fragile balance of the economy to make “rich people” create a comfortable existence for “poor people”.

We became a strong nation because we didn’t have anybody to make life easy for us. We must get over this “it isn’t fair” mentality… this “I am entitled because I am poor” mentality. Welfare and Medicaid and Food Stamps and other programs are good for our nation when used as intended and not adopted as a lifestyle.

Can anybody doubt that there is work aplenty to be done? Does anybody really believe that there are jobs “Americans won’t do”? I don’t. Americans… those who embrace the culture of America… are hard workers. They innovate. If they lose their job, they find a way to contract out until they get a new job. They start businesses. They find alternatives and make discoveries. They go back to school to get a raise and get ahead.

All of that takes “rich people” who run big corporations that hire people to innovate, discover new things and find alternatives. Those “rich people” can afford to put those innovations into practice and hire more people. Tax them — they will not bleed. They will not bear the burden of those taxes. The poor will.

Come ON people — we are the interviewers, and the job we are considering these candidates to fill is nothing less than the highest in the land. Think like you own a multi-billion dollar corporation. Think of it as if it’s YOUR business that could be run into the dirt in as little as 4 years.

Now… read up on how to interview and hire an upper level manager and you’ll have a good start on what to ask these candidates.
