A loyal reader of Info Ink inspired this post, Quin of Quintessential Havoc (blogroll will get you to this insightful blog….visit soon and often)…..
Tis the season to be jolly…….wait!….that is Christmas. But if you are a political junkie then this is truly the season to be jolly…it is the silly season…..American elections….Americans have a truly f*cked up political system….millions spent on primaries and caucuses and then million upon millions spent in the general election….and this NEVER stops…as soon as one is elected then one starts working on one’s re-election….a continuous cycle of political activity…not really activity….just political ambition.
Political activity? I am Not talking about the silly partisan crap that Washington dines on daily….not talking about showing off one’s tan or chastising the Left or screaming about death panels or where someone is born……NONE of this is true political activity…..more like petty bullsh*t.
Then Professor, what is true political activity?
True political activity requires the formation of ideas, the construction of arguments, the capacity to understand where the people are on any given issue, the recognition of human nature and the explanation of the solutions to problems And then the defense of the stand on the issues…this is political activity and this is sadly missing in our political system today.
Just look at the goings on in Washington….does nay of it resemble political activity in the least? Of course, I does NOT! What we have in Washington today is partisan BS, obstructionism and a total break down in the political American system….Washington is at a standstill…..that standstill does NOTHING to improve the lives of the people in this country…it does however improve the lives and bank accounts of the people we have elected to represent us.
The American people need to wake up to the facts…..no matter which side of the spectrum you are on……NOTHING is working properly in Washington….and these are the people that YOU elected…maybe it is time to start paying attention and time to elect people who will work for the country and not just themselves……JUST A THOUGHT!
