Educating the Masses
Sometimes I feel like a kindergarten teacher (although I don’t know what that feels like because I’ve never been one).
Ordinarily people learn from their and other people’s mistakes so that they won’t go thru the pain or humiliation of making those same mistakes.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case in 2024.
Have you ever watched a documentary on Wolves, Hyenas, Badgers, Gangs or Mobs?
There is always that one Alpha Male or Female that demonstrates to all members of the pack who is the boss. Never is there a successful takeover unless there is blood spilled and the leader goes down fighting. Usually the challenger is either killed or run out of town bloody and wounded. Once the Alpha meets and bonds with another of the same species they form another pack and the process begins all over again.
Why is that so hard for humans to learn? Gangs do it, by force, fear or both. They stake out their “territory” and dare anyone to cross into or try going through it. Guns, knives or AKs are enough to keep everyone in line or paying for protection.
With politics it’s a whole nother story, except all too often they’re playing the same old song. Not only that but for lack of a better way of expressing it, they accuse the other guy of doing what they, themselves are doing – and getting away with.
What happened to the days when politicians did the “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” bit for the good of the nation as a whole? They don’t need to talk to Jimmy Stewart (RIP) but simply watch the movie on DVD, Netflix or YouTube – and then adjust their focus.
We as a nation are at the point where families are divided, neighborhoods are in shambles and entire communities are up in arms for what…….they don’t even know? I’ll give you a clue – POLITICAL MISINFORMATION in the form of CHARACTER ASSASSINATION!
Until 2015 what did you know about Donald J. Trump, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Joseph R. Biden or Barack H. Obama for that matter? NADA – NOTHING – ZILCH!
How many of those folks spent a significant part of their lives wrapped up in politics?
How many were caught up in simply making a name, a brand, a business?
How many were trying to do the right thing for their family, their community or their country?
Before the internet, television or radio how did Americans learn about political candidates?
Print media – newspapers, magazines, journals or other publications. Did you know that libel, slander, lying about someone’s character could land you in jail or federal prison?
Does that even happen anymore?
Today threats to, against or about the sitting President of the United States and/or other elected officials is simply taken for granted or ignored – UNLESS – the subject is DJT, and then “no rules apply”.
How can you not miss the implied threat of Representative Nancy Pelosi who along with then Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told newly elected President Trump, IN THE OVAL OFFICE & on camera “You don’t know the importance I bring to this meeting”. Did not alarm bells go off – ANYONE?
How about tearing up the SOTU speech on camera and behind President Trump’s back during a joint session of Congress? Remember that? The warning bells have been going off since January 20th. 2017 and nobody called an Audible, 911 or anything.
I took those not as idle threats, but as the beginnings of an Insurrection to take down the sitting President of the United States. Where was the Secret Service, the FBI, Homeland Security or even the CIA or the DOD?
Either someone(s) is sleeping or complicit!
I’m going to pinpoint a comment(s) by the person(s) who said on camera, in print or verbally that “we have enough legal stuff to keep Trump locked in legal courts for the next 200 years”. They are trying to do exactly that, and not only is it morally wrong, it is unlawful and un-American, to say the least.
Does that not stink of conspiracy?
Our government from the neck down to the head up needs a complete sanitization of all the anti-American rhetoric and actions of folks who should not be in government at all. Not civil service, appointed or elected – NOTHING!
Where they need is to be behind bars – in a Mexican prison, without food stamps and full loss of telephone and other privileges. They need to feel the pain they are inflicting on others.
Every government agency’s upper administrative staff needs to see what the unemployment line looks like. They need to start from scratch, below entry level and without government pensions or retirement funds to tie them over, and those IRA’s, they should be absorbed into the social security system to pay back all the funds that have been improperly used for purposes other than their intended recipients.
Congress, I mean the real Congress should stand up and say NO MORE! Name names and hold people accountable for their irresponsible actions, and punishment should be outsourced to a foreign prison where nobody knows their names or cares that they were privileged government employees – just law breakers. – RTM
