Immigration, Gay Marriage, & the Bay of Pigs

Today its immigration, last election cycle it was Gay Marriage. It smells like the Republicans are fishing for another wedge issue. However, it looks like the American People ain't biting this time. Thank God!

Yes, illegal immigration is an issue. It has been an issue for a very long time. Still, there are many far more pressing issues.

It is a question of priorities. America needs to conduct an unbiased national threat analysis and attack threats in an intelligent, methodical manner. We can no longer afford ideologically driven policies to dominate America.

This threat analysis needs to focus on areas of greatest vulnerability. Following are a few examples: massive national debts, dependency on foreign sources of oil, environmental degradation, declining global standing in education, outsourcing, and debt held by foreigners, global warming, violent crime, war, terrorism, lack of protection for whistleblowers, etc. etc. etc.

To help avoid Group Think (Bay of Pigs Syndrome), designing and implementing strategic plans to combat America's threats must be based on input from a wide range of professionals, outside of standard government agencies. Oversight can be covered via peer review and enforcing complete transparency.

For "We the People" the message to our politicians is this. We will be setting the priorities, Not You! It is time to throw the bums out of office and start over.
