why...yet...and how come


WHY...YET...and HOW COME... to name just a few!
Why: The Catholic Church is at the ready to stop same-sex marriage, and women’s rights to decide the health of her own body. Both are an act of love and both actions make lives healthier and happier. Both actions are family oriented. Faster than a speedy bullet, the Church is chastising, harassing and tormenting Americans who only want the “...pursuit of happiness...”
YET: The Catholic Church is as slow as a tortoise to stop its own clergy from the horrendous act of  pedophilia. This act is nothing less then rape, abuse, and heinous. The Church acts as if they are the victim as they permit the real victims to suffer decade after decade. The Church turns the other check in denial as its clergy continues to abuse the kids and in doing so God’s word. And the only pursuit the Church is after is to ignore and refute.
So how come individuals who follow the doctrine of the Catholic Church have not said is this really what Jesus would do?
Why: So John Boehner and his merry band of robbing from the poor to pay the rich,(Republican/Tea Party) have decided to renege on the compromise to reach a balanced budget and NOT make cuts to defense. They insist, as they chuck away the bribery money from the Lobbyists of the Military Complex, that unless we spend, spend, spend on Defense the US will not be a place any of us can live freely.
YET
YET: In telling us how we MUST spend billions on the Military, the only way to pay for those necessary expenses is to reduce allocation of dollars to those who need food stamp assistance, access to pre school, money to pay for health care. The Americans who should stand in line and salute the flag, need not eat too much, not enjoy the fruits of early childhood education and unless they have extra cash just get sick and die.
So how come its okay to protect the shores of this great nation from the enemy when the enemy from within cares less about the citizens who live on those shores?
WHY: The Republican/Tea Party like to chip away at the rights of women, LGBT, elderly, unemployed and the Unions but insist that the only thing they are concerned about is less government involvement in the lives of Americans. They want no regulations on the Banking Industry, want to cancel any and all health restrictions in place by the EPA. They say big bloated government is just a fat cat as they only pay close attention to the “fat cat” billionaires financing their own pockets.
YET: More and more Republican/Tea Party majority state legislatures pass bill after bill giving the government the right to tell us who can marry, who can vote, who can reproductive health care. They write all kinds of rules and regulations on the work place, the bedroom and the doctors office. The Republican/Tea Party feel they can define the way we love and live, but anything else is Government interference leading to Socialism.
So how come the the people whose own life styles are being regulated by religious dogma espoused by bigots dressed as politicians permit this hypocrisy to happen? When did dumb become stupid and turn out to be ridiculous?
There are hundred and hundreds of other WHY, YET and HOW COME’S we face everyday. We stand by as if all of us are wearing a kick me please sign on us. Some of us try to ignore the idiocity, some of just place our heads in the sand, some of us just hem and haw and say nothing can really be done about it. And as we ignore, the bigots, bogus and bias applaud the inane and act as enablers continuing this disease to happen. WHY?
