Soap Box

After the runoff election in Louisiana which denied incumbent Democratic Senator, Mary Landrieu, a third term, it brings the new Senate to 54 Republicans and 46 Democrats, with the GOP holding the biggest lead in the House of Representatives since the Truman administration.

What does this really mean in practical terms? Does it represent a reversal in the heavy-handed monomaniacal actions of Barack Obama, the one-man government who needs neither, House, Senate nor citizen's approval to pass and enforce legislation?

Does it mean that Obamacare could either be repealed or at least modified into something beneficial that people can actually understand?

Does it mean that the legislative bodies would finally come together and pass a sensible immigration bill that is aimed at all those who would become American citizens, and not just the instant democrat voter block now illegally crossing our southern border?

Would it begin with a true, no nonsense closing of the border?

Would it mean rooting out and cleaning up the corrupt Internal Revenue Service and holding the guilty accountable?

Would it mean unsealing the information on the Fast and Furious fiasco and holding Eric Holder accountable to the same laws every other American citizen is held to?

Would it mean repairing the damage Obama has done to our military, dispelling the uncertainty and morale problems he has caused by the firing of some of our most seasoned and capable officers?

Would it mean a stringent audit of the entitlement roles, identifying and punishing double dippers and those who falsely claim disability?

Would it mean a sensible and comprehensive approach to the ridiculous mountain of debt we owe?

Does it mean revisiting America's corporate tax system, the one that has chased our manufacturing base off shore?

Does it mean reigning in the EPA and the commerce killing and sometimes silly regulations they have saddled what little industry we have left in America with?

Does it mean doing something meaningful about the deplorable state of education in this nation, something sensible, like school vouchers that would create competition and therefore raise the standards to a much higher level?

Would it mean that priority one would really be the creation of jobs?

Would it mean a putting aside of political correctness and a "whatever it takes" approach in rooting out the terrorists and their sympathizers who live among us?
Would it mean actually taking steps to completely destroy Isis before they grow so powerful and their tentacles so far reaching that they are a dire threat to the Homeland and our allies?

Would it mean opening federal lands to ecologically friendly harvesting of petroleum, which would be not only enough to supply our needs but provide the surplus to service our friends in Europe, removing their gonads from the hands of The Russians?

Will it mean finally standing up to Vladimir Putin and reminding him that no matter how weak we may have looked the last six years, we are still the most formidable nation on earth and that our foreign policy is about to grow some new teeth?

In other words, will it mean real change or will it be business as usual, the only difference being which side of the aisle they sit on and the letter beside their name?

America voted for change, if Republicans don't deliver, they will vote for change again.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem

God Bless America
