Idol Chatter

When you listen to politicians you ought to knowt that if they told you what they really thought and held to priciples, you’d never elect them. And that is our fault. We just want to hear what we want to hear. The better the spin or at least the closer it is to what we want to believe can be, the more likely we are to go along with what, I’d argue, we really know to be at best reality spun to idealistic levels and at worst just a pack of lies.

However, of all the politiicans in today’s political arena, I’ve got to hand my hat to our current president. He’s got the ability to spin any side of an argument and the ability to make up total lies down so pat, you believe him. He understand the craft of lying better than any I’ve ever seen.

Guess what America, we can’t tax the rich, give to the poor and have happy days. It’s a nice concept but even Jesus told us there will always be poor. If you over tax the engine that drives our country, you will either ruin it and, consequently see even more unemployment than we have today or you will see the rich leave this country for more understanding nations which will also leave us with fewer jobs. 

Wake up and take stock. We need to get real with ourselves first and then we need to not expect but demand truth from those who will shape (or in Obama’s case, should he have his way, completely control) our future.  We need to fight for an America where anyone can still control their future if they work hard and seize opportunity rather than buy into some socialist state where it makes no sense to work hard because all you achieve is just given to those who don’t work at all.
