For most that know me I LOVE politics!
It’s the only place that you can truly sharpen your discretionary thinking skills. Well lately, I mean for the last 12 years, politics have become destructively political. Here I thought that politics was about how representatives came together to solve problems. That has NOT been what is or has been happening.
We have been bickering over who runs the sand lot.
The childlike banter has just made me want to walk away. There is a lack of leadership, lack of reason, and a lack of sincerity that is what politics is now.
Historically, there has been the kabuki theatre of politics. But the anomalies have occurred from time to time. But now, the rule has a stranglehold on the possibility of the anomalies. Now the media is the government. Your representatives are the pundits. How did we contribute to such a disgrace?
A woman saying she is tired of defending Obama.
An astro-turf group took over the country's narrative of politics, policy, and person hood.
Obama has been standing around proclaiming his loyalty to the Democratic Party. All the while he was giving the middle finger to his constituents on the left.
While the right was emboldened, the left was...the left.
There is still a problem bigger than the theatre...we as a country is failing...astronomically!
If we don't do something soon...
What you smell is the next "Rome" burning.
We are suffering from a fire that has us cynical, distrustful of our government, and unsure of our fellow Americans.
This isn't the alarm call to make things right. This is a call to quit hitting the snooze button.
We know this is wrong.
We just need to fight together to make it right.
I will take a few swipes at how we can try in my next post…
