I’ve about had it with national politics. Our leaders are playing Texas Hold’em on Capitol Hill, whilst citizens around the country are left in dismay. The Senate, House, and Administration are playing a deadly game of adolescent brinkmanship, which will leave this nation horribly scarred, and perhaps even mortally wounded. They’re in a war of words, whilst Joe Average is struggling to make ends meet. They’re posing and pouting for the cameras, while troops are being murdered and mutilated. These elected representatives are becoming an elite aristocracy, consolidating their influence through affluence, and adding to their esteem through pork barreling and specialist lobbying.
Eventually, the people of this nation are going to wake up and, as Jefferson commented, the freedoms gained by the Revolution will be maintained by the shedding of blood across another generation. It’s not the terrorists abroad that we have to fear, it’s the bloody politicians over here that we need to beware.
We, the people are losing our freedom and liberty. And what are the politicians on both sides doing? Peeing in the roses at the Whitehouse.
