After the Election?

Prior to the trembling birth of our great nation’s “American Excellence”, Thomas Paine wrote, “These are the times that try men’s souls” ( “The American Crisis”).

Nowadays, many likeminded and concerned citizens feel the same way about our elected and wanna-be elected officials, as well as for the future of West Virginia and our country.

Further, many of us didn’t much care for our election choices.

Me?

While I am pleased and proud to return and report that I was the very first voter in West Virginia's Berkeley County, I also confess that my heart truly yearned for some better ballot box choices.

Simply put: Too many, in both major political parties, far too often seek out their own self-aggrandizement, as well as intrusion over the lives of all of us and our families.

Far too often, their pandering political flatulence leads them to believe that they know better than we do about what’s best for us and our families.

Even so, and regardless of who you supported in this year’s elections, let not our hearts be troubled.

There are many steps that still and should be enacted into law, to make West Virginia and our nation greater.
