Truth in Politics

One day, when we have a new President:

All the bios will come out.

People will confess they stuck by him to save their political careers.

They will tell us the truth when it’s politically expedient.

They will admit they knew he was ignorant.

We will learn more about their revulsion, disgust and the choices these leaders made to back up the head of their party.

They chose politics and their careers over democracy.

These confessions will come fast and furious, as people distance themselves from this pariah.

When that day comes, the American people know what they need to do.

They must remove from office all who failed to protect our democracy.

The people who threw our government to the pigs must never be entrusted again with America’s future.

We can argue about taxes, spending, immigration policy, civil rights.  But there should never be outright depravity in office.  This is not governance.  This is not responsible leadership.

What we have is a dangerous situation, an obstruction of the will of the majority of citizens.  If no one stands up for the rest of us, we will find ourselves divided and fallen.  These tactics do not make America strong.  They undermine our citizens, obstruct our justice and mute our voices.

Since they’re all concerned about their jobs, write your congressmen and demand justice be served in the highest levels of government the same as it applies to each and every citizen.  Now is their chance to do right by us.

If Congress won’t do its job, we must come together as a nation and elect a mature, reasoned and principled President, someone who can lead us with vision in this complex and sometimes violent world.  Someone with both prudence and compassion, someone we can trust and be proud of.  Oh how I pray for that day and that it comes soon.

As a symbol of confidence, I’m going to save a bottle of champagne to celebrate that day.
