THE MAN IN THE MIRROR...AND
IT'S NOT MICHAEL JACKSON.
If there's one thing that can be said about the current occupant of the
Oval Office, it's that he loves himself like no one else. Who else would allow pictures, like the ones
that were splashed all over the "fair and balanced" network, to get
out to the public? We see a man, so in
love with himself that he smiles and makes foolish faces, along with using a
"selfie stick" to take pictures of himself. Now I grant you that most of us, when we're
alone in a bathroom, probably make a face or two, maybe while we're shaving or
combing our hair...but nothing like this buffoon! This man(and I use that word very loosely)
is the epitome of a petulant 5 year-old child who, if he doesn't get his way,
wants to go home and take his stuff with him.
Because he's never participated in anything in the way of The American
Experience he falls back on the teachings of his mentors...a few people that
were Communists, Socialists, anti-colonialists and, probably anti-Semites. He sat in a church for 20 years, listening
to a virulent preacher and then claimed he never heard any of that. What crap!
The
man in the mirror, as the rest of us have experienced, can lie to everyone but
himself. When you are alone and you
look in the mirror, you see someone that you, and you alone, know
intimately...every thought you've ever thought, every action you've ever taken,
it's all there and you see it. You can
regret, you can take pride, in what you've done or thought...but you cannot
undo what's been done. If money could
solve the world's ills, and we've thrown billions upon billions at the
problems, they would have been solved...but it doesn't. Sometimes it just takes the careful planning
and execution of that plan before money is thrown at the trouble, and that
works...sometimes.
A
good example of a plan that hasn't worked is the War On Poverty. Brought to life by then-President Lyndon
Johnson, billions have been poured into that program and, if money could cure
it, it would be cured...but we still have poverty in this country and more
people on the dole from the federal government. There are people, like me, who believe that
was the ultimate goal from the start...to make as many people dependent on the
government as possible so they are controlled by the politicians they
support. Americans seem to have not
just a short memory, but they are becoming increasingly dumb, by design...of
course, that's just my opinion and I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
You
want another example of billions of dollars down the toilet? The federal government has spent quite a few
bucks in the War On Drugs, and where has that gotten them? Marijuana, as an example, is against the law
according to the feds…but you can buy, raise, and sell it in several
states. Where’s the logic in that? Medical professionals, and that’s not all of
them, say that pot is a gateway drug, leading to wanting to get a stronger
high, and so the buyers look for something else, and that something else, more
often than not, turns out to be cocaine.
Cocaine is a major source of revenue in several countries, and they
consider the US
Uncle
Sam cannot be the world’s policeman, like he used to be. Cuts in defense spending have made the United States
So,
to the silly man in the mirror, I pose this question: when are you going to
resign and let someone who is (a) an American, (b) not a narcissist, and (c)
has some common sense, take the helm of the ship of state, steer away from the
rocks and shoals and out into open water?
We are desperately in need of a clear-thinking patriot who take America
