The Political Inquirer

Hokum Juice, Ticky-tacky, and Political Bunkum now run rapid throughout our political system. It’s a systemic hooey that is fast growing old among the voters, but as politician habits run these days, it just normal. The politicians do all the talking and do not want to listen to their constituencies. They barter their influence to the highest bidder.

We are talked down too, told we are gate crashers, instigators, evil town haller’s, told we do not understand the real problem, and informed that the politicians know better than we do in running our private lives. We are patronized and belittled to our faces from our own politicians. Far too many are generally scrutinized by our own Homeland Security Agency as possible terrorists.

There is a war on you know. When the head politician pays no heed to his own people, why should we be surprised when we hear he does not listen to our Generals in the field?

Our national economy is suffering so much and the harm to our middle class may be irreparable as there has not yet been any light at the end of a very dark and long tunnel of despair, yet this same middle class and its wonderful entrepreneurs are treated by the government as compost. Remedy is a waste of time for politicians who would rather tax and spend our future away. The one group of Americans that provide the most jobs in our nation are only so much baloney to be gobbled up by tax and penalty tax spending politicians who refuse to listen to the voters.

Like Roman Senators of old, they are corrupt —opting for power and prestige over taking care of the folks. Like old political whores, they vie for position and personal entitlement. They would sell their own honor if need be and many have. Ask Charlie Rangel, Collin Peterson, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, Randy “Duke” Cunningham, Tom DeLay, and a whole host of others who have no sense of personal honor let alone public responsibility. Ask any of the new so called Czars that now work behind the scenes to corrupt your hard fought for freedoms and God given rights. Rangel can serve as a prime example of this deep corruption, swindling for himself millions while no one prosecutes him.

What are voters to think of all this?

Well, we voted these crooks into office and we can vote them out. However, the damage is done and more is coming down the pike. By the time elections are again the focus; the slick tongues will be licking their twaddle and driveling all over the place once again, spewing their vote enhancing claptrap. And there will be voters that will believe them and put them right back into office.

These politicians do not harbor a sense of accountability to the public trust. Power is the game and money drives the game. Never forget that.

It is so hard to find good decent people to run for office today, as the opposition spends more money digging into their past and trying to destroyed them publically, rather than argue over public issues and concerns. Often, these decent people want nothing to do with it and they don’t want to put their families through the public wringer.
Sara Palin is a prime example of this accusing public drumhead trial as opposition went right to her daughter’s jugular, not to hers. They still attack her family on a daily basis.

It is the world turned upside down. All of the decent values that started this country up and created its first government are all disparaged and demeaned in public with a drumming regularity that defies normal understanding. But, that is the real peril, isn’t it?

When the abnormal becomes normal, the trouble comes. When the deviant are hailed as decent, when the atypical is more popular than the typical, when the irregular is viewed as more acceptable in place of the regular, trouble comes in spades.

That is the Peril of America.
