As injustice continues to reign in government, many look toward 2010 as the first opportunity to undo the colossal mistake made last year in the name of making history. More and more people are seeing that things are not being handled with the openness and transparency that they were promised. In fact, laws are being blatantly ignored by the very people who have been tasked with upholding them. One law in particular was ignored by the very man who sponsored its passage in the Senate.
  Barack Obama was one of the sponsors of a bill that required a 30-day notice before an Inspector General could be fired, and a report to Congress of the reasons for the firing. As President, however, he overlooked that particular law in the case of Gerald Walpin. He fired Mr. Walpin with only an hour’s notice with no reason given. Only later did they make some attempt at an explanation, and even then the reasons seemed contrived.
  This and other breaches of law and tradition have produced a climate of uncertainty in this country. It is not just within the political realm that uncertainty exists; with the takeover of banks, car companies, and more in the works, it is nearly impossible for anyone to be sure of any kind of stability in any sector.
  That is why the candidates who begin to not only point out the instability and uncertainty, but more importantly to promise a return to stability will win the day in the next election. It is not just a matter of offering alternatives that we think are better, or arguing against policies that we think are wrong (even though these must be done). The winning candidates will have to stress heavily that they know how to stabilize things.
  We know what works. We have historical examples or what works and what doesn’t. President Obama’s policies don’t work and never have anywhere in history. But history has shown what does work and we know what it is. We can do it. It’s been done before, and we can do it again. No matter how bad things have gotten, there are basic, fundamental principles which always work that can reverse any problems. Those tried and true methods of doing things have not been tried yet, but we will do them and things will get better.
  Stability. Consistency. The rule of law. Equal treatment under the law. Acting only within the confines of the Constitution. Predictability. Now that’s something that will bring investors back to the market, businesses back to profitability, workers back to the jobs, and America back on track.
  Stability will win.
