Pointing out the obvious

Our present elected representatives are too often immoral, and too often, lightweights. This applies to the federal types, both elected and hired. Our country is suffering as a result.

Now most think these present elected leaders have good intentions, although it is their real intentions that count. The alternative is the people’s intentions, as if we elected our politicians to represent we voters. And there are still so many politicians at the state, county, city, and school boards that also are players.

Never assume conspiracy when sheer incompetency will do.

Between the past decades of Ivy League education and the resulting hiring of these people into the federal bureaucracy , perhaps both national parties have failed us. Both Republican and Democratic parties have favored these people, but without ethics and a sense of country, too many have taken advantage. None of us are born with a sense of ethics, we have to be taught it.

Too may have ignored our USA Constitution as an anachronism. Yet in the same vein, our ancestors had the unique opportunity to create a constitution that considered all the human factors. It seems like we are better off for it. Mostly, in to today’s terms, it is to protect us from the do gooders who have gained political control. Perhaps there is another point of view, and we should vote on these views in the scheduled elections. Now that just seems fair.
